ENTRANCE MUSIC -
"My Name is Human" by High Suspect.
STYLE / TENDENCIES -
James’ style is a unique mix of shoot and strong style with a mix of kickboxing thrown in. He prefers to use kicks whenever he can to wear down an opponent and will only use hand strikes when an opponent drops their guard or to occasionally mix things up. He’ll save suplexes and drives as counters instead of the main parts of his offense to conserve energy and to unleash them during his killing stretch. At this point in his career, he knows he is never going to be a good chain wrestler, so he focuses on chokes and joint locks to take advantage of injuries or to turn the tide of a fight when he gets rocked. High flying moves are always a last resort. Known to push the pace in the early days of his career, James is currently working on adding a patient counter game to his famed waves of violence.
FINISHING MOVES -
1. The Violent Gospel - a running PK kick to the head of a kneeling or sitting opponent. Considered by many to be the most infamous kick in wrestling, the Gospel is James' ace move and the one his opponents are most familiar with. As a result, he is keeping it stowed away for when he needs it the most. On occasion when James' hatred for an opponent is strong enough he'll use two Gospels to put them away.
2. Violent Salvation - a running chop elbow to back of the head of a kneeling or sitting opponent.
3. Violent Revelation- a ripcord spinning backfist.
SIGNATURE MOVES -
1. Double Tap - a pair of spinning back fists.
Prelude to the VR.
2. Half Cut - a half-nelson suplex.
3. Foxfire - a fisherman brainbuster.
4. RRE - a reverse release exploder suplex that serves as a prelude for the VG or VS.
5. Specialty Kicks- there are four: Fire From Heaven (Discuss Roundhouse), False Gospel (Feigned VG into a reverse roundhouse), Double Take (Jumping Switch) and Pole Shift (Rebound Wheel)
6. Long Way Round'- a pumphandle lift into a snap Death Valley Driver
