Baker was also one half of the reincarnated version of The Driveby Express with Kyle Christiansen for WrestleZone Championship Wrestling.

Baker also worked for No-Limit Wrestling Entertainment (NWE) for a short time before the fed went on a lengthy hiatus.

Early Life
Baker was born in Fort Worth, Texas, but had gotten into trouble many times when he was a youth so his parents made him move out to California where he discovered the life of being a hustler & a gangsta. Baker then returned to Texas & by the time he turned 8 years old, he joined up with a local gang & not too long after that, he took over leadership of the gang known as the Southside Kingz while starting dealing drugs. By the time Baker turned 13, everything around him was falling apart as his girlfriend at the time cheated on him, he got kicked off the football team for marijuana use & later on his family found out about his life as a hustler.

Beginnings & the rise of Tha Ultimate Underdog
In 2003, Baker completed his stint of drug rehabilitation & with the help of then ECCW Chairman Jack Conway. Baker got his hand into wrestling & eventually signed a contract with Conway's Elite Class Championship Wrestling. After his contract signing, Baker made his ECCW debut as a face & had his first match up with future rival/tag team partner/future multiple time ECCW World Heavyweight Champion Phillip Mustang where Baker picked up his first of many victories to come by defeating Mustang with a rollup & the two future rivals shaked hands after the matchup.

From that match, Baker then defeated various opponents such as Sean Jamison, Metal, Shocker, The Afro Kid, Alex Brand, Ron Bridges, Efran Ortiz, Kevin Ortiz, Jesse Ortiz, Carlos Ortiz, Chad Smith & Grandmaster Steve & also winning the 2003 Rumble match at ECCW Pay-Per-View The Rumble before gaining his first ever shot at the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship against Joseph Ortiz. At ECCW Pay Per View Revenge, Baker defeated Joseph Ortiz to win his first ECCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Feud with Phillip Mustang, Heel Turn, the Evolution into Da Xtreme Gangsta & Da Xtreme Dynasty forms
Once Baker defeated Joseph Ortiz for the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship, Baker then moved into a feud with Phillip Mustang where their feud kept ECCW alive & in the spotlight for the next few years. At ECCW's next pay per view Redemption, Baker successfully defended his ECCW World Heavyweight Championship against Mustang by defeating him with Da Xtreme Knockout & making Baker 2-0 against Mustang. The next night on their weekly show War Zone, Baker & Mustang teamed up & defeated Kevin & Efran Ortiz to become the new ECCW World Tag Team Champions & in process making Baker a double champion & bringing the company to new highs.

At ECCW's next pay per view Starstruck, Baker pulled double duty as not only did he & Mustang retain the ECCW World Tag Team Championships over J-Flex & Johnny Seedz, but Baker also successfully retain the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship over Alex Brand. The next night on War Zone, Baker & Mustang lost the ECCW World Tag Team Championship back to Kevin & Efran Ortiz following a miscommunication from Baker & Mustang.

A week later on War Zone, Baker defended his ECCW World Heavyweight Championship & lost it to Mustang. Baker then turned heel after the match by attacking Mustang from behind & eventually laying him out with a Brainbuster onto the Steel Steps after he had celebrated with Mustang. For weeks following the attack on Mustang, Baker cut numerous promos on how Mustang wasn't a team player & how the fans turned their backs on him by siding with a loser like Mustang & that Mustang will never, ever be as great of a wrestler as him. During that same time, Baker had adopted Da Xtreme Gangsta nickname that he would eventually become famous for.

At ECCW's Pay Per View Breakdown, Baker regained the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Mustang by submission after Baker made Mustang tap out to his new submission hold called Tha Notorious Clutch. Following the pay per view, Baker's wrestling style had turned more aggressive as he now brought a spiked out baseball bat to his arsenal & used it against his opponents whenever the opportunity presented itself. At Summer Smash, Baker defended & again lost the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship to Mustang after Mustang defeated him with the Mustang Express.

The following pay per view Bloody Glory, Baker retained his ECCW World Heavyweight Championship to begin his third reign as champion by defeating Phillip Mustang following interference by Kevin Styles & J.T. Banks. The following night on War Zone, Baker formed a stable with Styles & Banks called Da Xtreme Dynasty.

Baker proclaimed that Da Xtreme Dynasty will take over the ECCW by storm. Baker & Da Xtreme Dynasty made good on that proclamation by not only Baker having the longest ECCW World Heavyweight Championship reign in ECCW history at that moment, but also Styles & Banks defeated Kevin & Efran Ortiz for the ECCW World Tag Team Championships as well.

By the time 2004 came around, Da Xtreme Dynasty were still dominating everybody on the roster as Styles & Banks were dominating the tag team division & Baker was turning back every challenger to keep his ECCW World Heavyweight Championship. However on ECCW Pay Per View Event The Rumble, Baker lost the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship to Alex Brand after interference by a returning Phillip Mustang. Baker then had several attempts to regain the title & he even competed in a triple threat match for the title where Brand lost the title after being pinned by Phillip Mustang. Baker then regained the ECCW World Title for his fourth reign by defeating Mustang in a ladder match after interference from Da Xtreme Dynasty.

From then Baker & Mustang resumed their rivalry & for several months they competed against each other in numerous matches like a Dog Collar match, a First Blood match, a TLC Match, a Hangman's Horror match & a Steel Cage Match where Baker won every match except the Steel Cage match which Mustang defeated Baker to regain the ECCW World Heavyweight Title at Bloody Glory. The next night on War Zone, Baker challenged Mustang to defend the title one last time against him at ECCW's Night Of Champions in a match he calls Da Xtreme Death Match.

Over the next several weeks, Baker & Mustang played a game of one upping eachother as both of them defeated the opponents that the other set up infront of them. At Night Of Champions, Baker defeated Mustang in Da Xtreme Death Match to win the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship for the 5th time in his career. After the match, Baker showed Mustang a sign of respect by shaking his hand & ending their long & storied rivalry.

Post James Baker/Phillip Mustang Feud
After his feud with Phillip Mustang came to an end, Baker then set his sights on trying to gain the other ECCW Championships by first targeting the ECCW Television Championship which was held at the time by Juan Martinez. Baker then defeated Martinez on War Zone to begin his first reign at ECCW Television Champion. The next week on War Zone, Baker then went after the ECCW Hardcore Championship & defeated Mario Johnson to win his first & only ECCW Hardcore Championship. By that point Baker decided to become generous & gave Kevin Styles the ECCW Hardcore Championship & he gave J.T. Banks the ECCW Television Championship just so he can focus on defending his ECCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Baker then entered a feud with The Afro Kid & at Locked Up, Baker lost his ECCW World Heavyweight Championship to The Afro Kid. The feud spanned for a couple of more weeks & it ended with Baker regaining the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship by defeating The Afro Kid at Sacrifice to begin his 6th reign as ECCW World Heavyweight Champion. Baker then entered a feud with Sean Jamison & at The Rumble, Baker lost the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship to Jamison. The next night on War Zone, Baker defeated Jamison in screw job like fashion after Baker & Da Xtreme Dynasty had a crooked referee to help Baker win the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship for the 7th time. At ECCW pay per view Redemption, Baker lost the ECCW World Heavyweight Championship to Jamison to end Baker's final reign as Champion.

The next night on War Zone, Baker beat down both Kevin Styles & J.T. Banks & ended Da Xtreme Dynasty. The following week on War Zone, Baker decimated his former Xtreme Dynasty teammate J.T. Banks & defeated him to begin his 2nd reign as the ECCW Television Champion. That very same night, Baker then reformed The Driveby Express with his former rival Phillip Mustang who by then turned into a heel by helping Baker beat down both Styles & J.T. Banks. Baker & Mustang had won 2 more ECCW World Tag Team Championships by defeating Styles & Banks on two separate occasions. Baker & Mustang vacated the ECCW World Tag Team Championships after ECCW went out of business & The Driveby Express was once again broken up. Baker also had to vacate the ECCW Television Championship after ECCW went out of business. Baker then took a near 3 year hiatus from professional wrestling after ECCW went out of business.

Debut & The Driveby Express Part 2
After a near 3 year hiatus from wrestling, Baker then signed a contract with WZCW. Baker made his official WZCW debut as a heel at Meltdown 18 as one of the newcomers in the Elite X Battle Royal. Unfortunately for Baker, he was eliminated rather quickly by USA.

On Meltdown 19, Baker formed a tag team with "The One & Only" Kyle Christiansen to recreate The Driveby Express & later that night they went on to defeat Garth Black & Phoenix when Christiansen hit Phoenix with The One & Only for the victory. On Meltdown 20 Baker & Christiansen competed against the tag team of USA & Anoki, but Baker & Christiansen were defeated when Anoki pinned Christiansen following the Eagle Drive. On MD21, Baker faced USA with Baker successfully defeating USA by pinning him following the All Eyez On Me (Shooting Star Press).

At WZCW pay per view Unscripted, Baker & Christiansen then competed in a 5 way tag team match for an opportunity at the then vacant WZCW World Tag Team Championship, but Baker & Christiansen barely came close when Ace pins David Cougar to give The Full House Daves the victory & the titles. Also at Unscripted, Baker then revealed his suprise ally in bringing his friend/agent Malik Jones to help guide him to success. On MD22, Baker & Christiansen faced TM & David Cougar, but unfortunately Baker & Christiansen lost after Cougar made Baker tap out to the Texas Cloverleaf. On MD23, Baker & Christian again faced the tag team of Garth Black & Phoenix, but Baker & Christiansen were defeated when Garth Black pinned an injured Christiansen for the victory. Baker has since gotten back to singles action after Kyle Christiansen got injured at MD23.

At MD24, Baker was defeated by USA. At MD25, Baker then went back to the tag team division & teamed up with Rush to take on the team of Murfish & Celeste Crimson, but the team ultimately lost after Rush betrayed Baker by not partaking in the match up which at that point, a possible face turn was being presented for Baker, but nothing came of it though. At WZCW's pay per view Civil Revolution, Baker was defeated by Rush to continue Baker's losing streak. On the first edition of WZCW Ascension, Baker reformed his team with Kyle Christiansen & faced the tag team of Garth Black & Phoenix, but the reformed team lost after Baker had his ankle shattered in storyline & Malik Jones was locked in the Black Death. James Baker asked for his release from his WZCW Contract on July 29th, 2009 due to some personal demons that were going on in his life. WZCW management has given Baker the open door to return to the company once Baker has his personal life sorted out.

Return to WZCW & Becoming the WZCW Mayhem Champion
On October 19th, 2009. James Baker then contacted WZCW Management about a possible return to the company. Baker & WZCW Management then talked for a while & it was decided that Baker will indeed return to the company when the next round of tapings for the show take place. Baker will return to WZCW as a singles wrestler, but it is unknown at this time whether Baker will return as a face or a heel once he makes his return to the company.

At Meltdown 31, Baker returned to WZCW as a face as he competed in a triple threat match up against Rush & Ty Burna for the WZCW Mayhem Championship. Baker became the WZCW Mayhem Champion as he pinned Rush to earn his third victory in WZCW & become a double champion as he now holds championships for 2 separate promotions. At Lethal Lottery II, Baker will be involved in the Lethal Lottery Match for a main event match at Kingdom Come.

CWF Debut, Feud with Mariano Fernandez, Beginning of the Feud with Terry Richards & the development of The Psychotic Beast
After only a couple of hours after being granted his wish on being released from his WZCW Contract, Baker then signed a contract to wrestle for the CWF in what can only be described as a turning point for both Baker's career & the CWF as a company. Baker also decided to bring his friend/agent Malik Jones with him to CWF & to try to achieve the success that the duo couldn't achieve together in WZCW. Baker then debuted in CWF as a heel & was involved in a feud with Mariano Fernandez after Baker lost a singles match against Mariano on the June 20th edition of Showdown.

Baker then made his return to pay-per-view at Summer Smash as Baker took on Mariano & newcomer Terry Richards in a triple threat match up, but unfortunately for Baker, he lost the match up after being pinned by Mariano following a Yakuza kick after Baker hit Richards with a roll of quarters. Baker then became involved in a feud with Richards while his feud with Mariano became more heated & personal.

Baker then made an appearance on the first ever edition of Late Night with Bobby Crane where Baker had his agent Malik Jones speak on his behalf & Baker's segment on the Bobby Crane show ended when Baker smashed the camera with his spiked out baseball bat. On the July 18th edition of Showdown, Baker competed in another triple threat match up as he faced Richards & Vegas. Baker then won the match by pinning Richards via Da Xtreme Knockout (Snap DDT) to earn his first CWF victory & the feud with Richards died out a bit after that. At CWF pay-per-view Scars & Stripes, Baker competed in another triple threat match up as his opponents were his rival Mariano Fernandez & Drastic, unfortunately for Baker, he got eliminated early when Mariano hit him with a Tombstone Piledriver.

On the events prior to the August 1st edition of Showdown, Baker kidnapped Mariano's then girlfriend Nagase & then took her to an undisclosed location where she was gagged & taped up for a while. Also on the August 1st edition of Showdown, Baker competed in a battle royal to determine the new number 1 contender for the CWF World Heavyweight Championship. Baker put on a good showing in the match up by making it to the final 4, but his rival Mariano Fernandez then eliminated him from the match up.

Face Turn, Evolution Into The Most Feared Wrestler in the CWF, Feud with Paul Blair, Championship Ambitions & Tag Team/Alliance with Danielle Lopez
On the events prior to the August 8th edition of Showdown, Baker's feud with Mariano Fernandez came to an end when Baker attempted to give Mariano his then girlfriend Nagase & the two then proceeded to shake hands, but Nagase then betrayed Mariano. She then attempted to get into a relationship with Baker, but Baker immediately rejected Nagase & instead took Mariano's side which turned Baker into a face for the first time in over 6 years. Also on the August 8th edition of Showdown, Baker teamed up with Motion & together they defeated the team of Paul Blair & T-Money when Motion got the pin over due to Blair kicking T-Money with the Blairkick.

On the August 15th editon of Showdown, Baker faced Vincent Vegas in a one on one contest & Baker came out of the match up with a victory via count out after Vegas walked to the back. Baker's character has also had a slight tweak to it as his psychotic side of the character was revealed to be his alter ego which he named his alter ego Killer. Baker has also begun to wear face paint on some occasions while Baker also cut off his long black hair to sport the buzzcut haircut that he had back in ECCW. On the August 22nd edition of Showdown, Baker faced Blair in a one on one contest & Baker came out of the match up with a victory via count out as Blair just stood on the ramp & in turn, the count out victory cemented Baker's status as the most feared wrestler in the CWF & earned Baker his 3rd consecutive victory & it also sparked a feud with Blair as well as further cementing his status as a fan favorite.

At CWF pay per view Global Warning, Baker received his first shot at CWF gold as he faced off against Axel Way & then current CWF Unified Champion Sickboy for the CWF Unified Championship, but Baker came up just short as he was pinned by Axel Way. Baker then faced off against Paul Blair & Chemical X on the September 12th edition of Showdown, Baker won the match by pinning Blair following Da Xtreme Knockout which in the process also ended his minor feud with Blair.

Also it is being reported that Baker will be placed in a tag team with his wife Danielle Lopez once she makes her CWF debut. On the September 19th edition of Showdown, Baker was scheduled to go one on one with Angelus, but Keith Daniels said that Angelus supposedly "missed his flight" & Baker was then awarded the victory via count out. On CWF's Pay-Per-View Fall Fever, Baker competed in another one on one match up with Angelus. Baker defeated Angelus following Da Xtreme Knockout for his 3rd consecutive victory & also his first PPV win since the ECCW Finale show on April 23rd, 2006.

There have been some rumors spreading around on various wrestling websites & magazines that Baker plans to form a stable to help him take down the newly reunited Horsemen (which Baker's rival Terry Richards is apart of) with himself & his wife Danielle Lopez being the two already confirmed members of the stable. The rumors have also stated that Baker has reached out to current CWF World Heavyweight Champion Pledge Allegiance & to former opponent Chemical X to be a part of his stable despite Baker's wife Danielle Lopez & Pledge's girlfriend Trixie Lee currently being involved in a feud with each other. However none of those rumors had any merit to it.

Feuding with The Horsemen, the reunion of Da Xtreme Dynasty & becoming the CWF Unified Champion
On the October 3rd edition of Showdown, Baker resumed his rivalry with Terry Richards as he challenged Richards for the CWF Unified Championship, but unfortunately Baker lost the match up to Richards thanks to Sickboy hitting Baker in the head with the CWF National Championship belt. On the October 10th edition of Showdown for the very first time, Baker teamed up with his wife Danielle Lopez to take on the team of Trixie Lee & the CWF World Heavyweight Champion Pledge Alligence in a mixed tag team match, but the team lost when Pledge Alligence pinned Baker after hitting him with the Pledge Hammer.

Recently with both Kevin Styles & J.T. Banks signed on to the CWF roster, Baker said that Da Xtreme Dynasty will be reunited to not only take the tag team division by storm, but they will also be a force to be reckoned with. The reunited version of the stable will consist of James Baker, Danielle Lopez, J.T. Banks & Kevin Styles.

Baker faced Terry Richards in a ladder match for the CWF Unified Championship & defeated him to extend his Night of Champions record to 5 wins & 0 losses & became a champion for the first time in a little over 3 years as he defeated Richards for the title due to The Horsemen interfering on Baker's behalf by kicking Richards out of the stable. Rob Osbourne also hit Baker with the Badd Dream onto the CWF Unified Championship belt after the match had ended.

On the November 7th edition of Showdown, Baker went one on one with the leader of The Horsemen "Nitemare" Rob Osbourne in a non title match up, but lost the match due to interference by Jimmy Blast. On the November 14th edition of Showdown, Baker will defend his CWF Unified Championship against Bob Osbourne.

No-Limit Wrestling Entertainment (2009)
With Baker being a major CWF wrestler, Baker then made a deal to sign with independent wrestling promotion No-Limit Wrestling Entertainment to wrestle for them. Baker first arrived at the September 7th edition of Warfare as a face as he was scheduled to take on Randy Orton, but with Orton being shockingly released, Baker then didn't have a match up for the show. Also later on in the show he turned into a heel by joining The Pact. Baker teamed up with CM Punk on the same night to compete for the NWE World Tag Team Championship against reigning champions Alex Stevens & Christian Cage, but unfortunately Baker & Punk just came up short when Stevens pinned Punk to win the match. Baker was then scheduled to face Kyle Kross on the September 14th edition of Warfare, but not only has the match up not taken place yet, but the NWE as a company has apparantly been put on hold for the time being. The fed recently resurrected & Baker was offered a spot to rejoin the roster, but Baker has respectfully turned down the offer to rejoin the NWE.

Fusion Championship Wrestling (2009 - present)
In October 2009, Baker then signed a contract to appear for Fusion Championship Wrestling. It's unknown whether this is a full time deal, a part time deal or a special appearances deal. Baker made his FCW debut on the November 2nd edition of Genocide as a tweener as he faced off against "The British Bruiser" Dan Charles, Frank Finelly, Darkside, Keiji Sparrow & Zack Graham in an Elimination match.

Personal Life
Baker was 16 years old when his ex girlfriend Amber Jones gave birth to his son Trey (both James & Amber agreed that Trey would be named after James & also have Trey's last name be Baker to carry on James' namesake). Baker is now married to his long time girlfriend Danielle Lopez who is the sister of Baker's former rival & tag team partner Phillip Mustang. Lopez gave birth to her & Baker's daughter Ashley on June 28th, 2009. Baker currently resides in San Diego, California with his wife Danielle Lopez, their baby daughter Ashley & Baker's son Trey. Baker is also best friends with his agent Malik Jones & fellow ECCW alumnus C-Low. Baker has also recently become friends with DXX Wrestler & fellow Compton/fellow Texas Native Terrell Odom. It is also known that Baker is apart of the now famous Baker/Lopez wrestling family where is one of 5 active wrestlers that are currently related to each other. Baker is also the cousin of 6 time ECCW Womens Champion & 2 time XWF Womens Champion Ashley Rose.

In addition to his wrestling career, Baker is also a rapper as he records music with his free time. Baker has said that rappers like Eminem, Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Ice Cube & Eazy E have been a huge inspiration for him to attempt to become a successful rapper. Like the majority of the old school rappers, Baker has heavily dissed today's watered down version of mainstream hip hop. Baker was quoted as saying, "Mainstream hip hop today is a disgrace to what the true meanin' of hip hop really is. I mean you see rappers like Soulja Boy, Lil Wayne, the GS Boyz, the New Boyz & alot of these mainstream rappers & rap groups today just takin' a fuckin' shit on the legacy & prestige that rappers like 2Pac, Biggie, N.W.A. Run DMC & many many more old school rappers that worked hard to make hip hop into somethin' & it fuckin' pisses me off to no fuckin' end that their hard work is bein' shitted on by all this whack shit that's bein' put out there to the public.". It has been rumored that Baker will release his debut album entitled "In Da Mind of an Xtreme Gangsta: Volume Mutha Fuckin' 1 & it might be released either under Dr Dre's Aftermath Entertainment or Eminem's Shady Records.

Baker is also an avid sports fan as his favorite teams are the Dallas Cowboys, the Dallas Mavericks, the Texas Longhorns & the Texas Rangers.

Among the CWF Roster, besides having Malik Jones & his wife Danielle Lopez as his allies, Baker & Mariano Fernandez have reached an understanding with each other after the extremely violent & disturbing feud they had with each other & now they respect each other as allies. Fernandez also has plenty of respect for Baker's wife Danielle. Baker also has respect for fellow CWF Superstars Axel Way. Sickboy, "Nitemare" Rob Osbourne & to an extent desptie their feud with each other, he also respects Paul Blair. In turn, Baker is also one of the more respected wrestlers in the world as he's never had a behind the scenes issue with any of his fellow wrestlers, he's never used any backstage politics to his advantage & he's never had a problem with either putting someone over or losing a match. Baker is also willing to work for any other wrestling federations as long as they don't put high-pressure on him & conflict with his commitments to the CWF.

Recently Baker has started a promo series called "Shootin' On The Game" where Baker shoots on various topics including shootin' on his upcoming opponents. Baker's first episode of the series was when he shoots on Kanye West's incident at the MTV VMA's & the state of mainstream hip hop while in the second episode of the series he disses one of his former employers, some wrestlers that he's wrestled with & he disses Kyle Sync & Jay Matthews while praising current employer Classic Wrestling Federation & giving praise to Axel Way, Mariano Fernandez, "Nitemare" Rob Osbourne & Sickboy among notable CWF stars & legends & he also says that the entire CWF Roster can easily blow the majority of any federation's roster out of the water.

On the 3rd episode of the series, Baker disses Jessica Simpson, the favoritism that NFL Referees have for certain NFL Teams (Steelers, Patriots & Giants) & how they screw over other teams (Cowboys & Raiders) along with explaining his hate towards the Philadelphia Eagles & he also shoots on his Fall Fever opponent Angelus. The 4th episode of the series was an all CWF edition of the show as James discussed gang warfare in the CWF, his predictions on what's gonna happen at CWF's Fall Fever & of course addressing his opponent Angelus. Baker also nearly got robbed before the show began, but Baker murdered the guy & nothing in his home was taken. Baker has said that the show will not air a new episode for a while due to the possibility of it being stale & repetitive. Baker also said that the show is not canceled & he has also said in multiple interviews that the series will be a bit more extreme & controversial real soon once the 5th episode airs.

The 5th episode of "Shootin' On The Game" finally aired & James discussed the horrendous sales of the Kyle Sync DVD, whether Pledge Alligence will interfere in the Danielle Lopez vs Trixie Lee match up & of course he shot on Terry Richards as well. The 6th episode of the series features Baker shooting on the horrific weightlifting accident with USC Running Back Stafon Johnson, the spectacular catch made by Colorado Rockies infielder Clint Barmes & of course the accident that Terry Richards was involved in. The 7th episode of the series was an all CWF edition as Baker gives out his predictions for each match on Showdown, he shoots on Pledge Allegiance & his wife Danielle shoots on Trixie Lee.

The 8th episode of the series featured a discussion on the fall of Krispy Kreme Dounuts, Tyra Banks' weight loss, predictions on what would happen for the October 17th edition of Showdown & the episode concluded with James shootin' on his Night of Champions III: Halloween Extreme opponent Terry Richards & his Showdown opponent Magnus Thunder. The 9th episode of the series featured all of the members of Da Xtreme Dynasty attempting to stir the pot against Degradation & The Richards Legion. Baker also had 2 fans as guests on the show & each of those fans gave their predictions about what will happen at Night of Champions III: Halloween Extreme. Ever since the national television airing of the 9th episode of the show. The series future has been in doubt as on that episode Baker & his Da Xtreme Dyansty teammates Kevin Styles & J.T. Banks repeatedly used the word faggot (James claims that the word faggot was aimed towards rival stable The Horsemen). The show was kicked off of the website that they were operating under. Baker & his stable were banned from letting "Shootin' on the Game" appear on national television. Currently both Baker & his agent/friend Malik Jones are in negotiations with Comedy Central about letting them air the show on their network.

In multiple interviews & a few episodes of "Shootin' On The Game", Baker has had a disdain for current CWF Mega Jobber Kyle Sync. Baker was quoted at saying: "Oh yeah it's his way of life actually & Kyle Sync is also a fuckin' faggot." Baker has also said some more comments such as: "I also hope that her food won't make me go to the bathroom & cause me to take a Kyle Sync." Baker has expressed a desire to "beat the livin' dog shit" out of Kyle in a future CWF event. Baker has also said to the New York Times that "I know that I may be a little bit of a cocky wrestler, but I have earned the right to be cocky as I am a 7 time World Heavyweight Champion in this profession, what the fuck has Kyle Sync done in wrestling? Wait I know, he's done jack & shit in professional wrestling. So I suggest to Kyle to shut his cocky mouth, grow a set of nuts & actually do somethin' that's worth a fuckin' shit in wrestling instead of just talkin' about it." In that same interview with the New York Times, Baker has also expressed a desire to face a healthy Paul Blair & a healthy Gary "Chemical X" Scarletti.
