James Raven wrestles like a younger Chris Jericho or AJ Styles type, though not quite as flashy to minimize risk. He is very athletic, not too big to prevent himself from taking to the air but strong enough to compete with most. He also has very high level brazilian jiu jitsu, though he tends to look for submissions to catch people in scrambles and transitions more than he uses them as his primary offense.

Entrance Theme Music-
"Bleed it Out" by Linkin Park
Entrance Description-
The entire arena slowly fades to black as the audience excitedly awaits the entrance of "The Peoples GOAT". The drum beat and guitar solo start and a series of white and blue spotlights come up and pan the crowd. Mike Shinodas voice is heard on the speakers singing.
“Now here we go for the hundredth time, hand grenade pins in every line, throw ‘em up and let something shine, going out of my fucking mind… filthy mouth, no excuse, find a new place to hang this noose, string me up from atop these roofs, high and tight so I wont get loose.”
By now the fans are going wild and cheering as the spotlights slowly make their way to the top of the entrance ramp where a dim fog begins to form.
“Truth is you can stop and stare, rub myself out and no one cares, dug the trench out and lay down there with a shovel up, out of reach somewhere… yeah, someone pouring in, make it a dirt glass floor again, say your prayers and stomp it out when they bring that chorus in.”
The spotlights come together as one, and the fog fills the top of the ramp until the downbeat hits and a major blue and silver pyrotechnic display goes off and the rest of the arena lights turn up to full. When the smoke clears James Raven is seen on top of the ramp, his hands thrown up over his head and a huge smile on his face.
“I BLEED IT OUT!!! Diggin’ deeper just to throw it away, I BLEED IT OUT!!!”
James makes his way down the ramp, high fiving fans and posing for pictures with several of them until he reaches the base of the ramp. Then, he pauses for a few seconds and sprints for the ring, diving in under the bottom rope and sliding in to the center of the mat on his hands and knees. He poses for a second, then gets up and runs for the turnbuckle, climbing up and posing yet again for the fans before doing a 360 degree spin off and doing the same on the opposite turnbuckle. As his music fades out he stretches in his corner, and then waits for either his opponents entrance or the starting bell.
[/]-BIOGRAPHY-[/]
Superstar Bio-
Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario James began his wrestling career in the XWF in 2007, as a 17 years old replacement for his injured brother TJ Raven. Within his first month on the XWF's developmental show Raven made it clear he was a special champion, becoming a double champion and beating many main roster members in special crossover appearances before being quickly promoted. Over the next 5 years James put together one of the greatest careers in the XWF's storied history (even serving as owner for a year) and made a case for himself as the true GOAT before retiring from the company in December of 2011. In the span between 2007-2011 he also put together great runs in XWF affiliates HWO, TWC and WGWF.
By 2012 James had shifted his focus to his personal life. He has a 6 year old son (Tyler) with his ex-wife and former XWF World Champion Mia Sanchez, and he is the owner and founder of Ravens Nest Media (a Toronto based production company) and the Hilite Fighting Club (a private gym and training centre converted from Ravens former federation, HILITE FC). He is very wealthy after a successful in-ring career, terms of ownership for multiple federations, and his business ventures.
In May of 2017 James was contacted by the new ownership of the XWF and brought out of retirement. Now preparing for his first Universal title in over half a decade and still looking to round back into his championship form of old, Raven has begun seeking independent bookings and come to Defiant Wrestling Federation with his eyes on the Titan title. He's excited to work with a crop of new talent, and spread his name to a new generation.
