Biography: A former MMA midcarder, O'Connor got his big break not in the octagon, but in the DCWL standing in for Naja Takemara at Operation: Plunderland. Not one to pass up an opportunity when its so clearly presented, O'Connor took the crash course in technical wrestling he received and fused it with his MMA repertoire. While he had some growing pains at first, O'Connor has found a rhythm as a fighter and will only improve, thanks to his tireless work ethic.
O'Connor prizes the honor and dignity of fighting above all. He's not as much about wins and losses as much as the respect that comes from doing something well. As such, he's willing to do what it takes, even if it means losing the match, to earn respect and maintain his honor. To James, that means facing an opponent head on, regardless of the circumstances and without excuses.
After a rough start, he began to experience some success. He was the junior member of the reformed "Best of the Best," along with former WWA Champion Logan McKenzie and the Rat - the final DCWL Champion and O'Connor's mentor. During the last ever "Ark of Apocalypse" rumble-type match, James had a minutes-long reign as 1/2 of the DCWL Tag Team Champions. The biggest accomplishment in his career to that point, though, was a PPV victory over WMA (the last major heel DCWL supergroup and BotB rivals) member and SPW executive JDM Superstar. Just as his star seemed to be on the rise, the organization folded. James, though, had found his calling.
After moderate success in TSWF, James came to SPW as a favor SPW General Manager Henry Spikes, his former boss in the DCWL. Though some questioned the rookie's abilities, JOC has sought to silence his critics the best way he knows how - in the ring.
In the revived DCWL, O'Connor has made his dislike of the Dangerous Championship Wrestling League plain.
