Jared James

Jared James is a wrestler in Connecticut Forum Wrestling where he is currently the CFW CT Heritage Champion. He stepped onto the scene in 2007 and slowly has developed into a promising young athlete. He was trained by former EICW Heavyweight Champion Shawn Jackson.

Early Life
Jared James was born November 15, 1985 in Waterloo, Iowa to his parents Ron & Lori James. He lived a pretty normal and wasn't interested in wrestling till around the age of 12. At the age of 14 he attended his first wrestling event and knew then that wrestling was to be his profession. He didn't begin training until the age of 17 though, when former EICW Champion Shawn Jackson approached him during a high school wrestling meet. He then began training with Jackson, which ended 2 years later at the age of 19.

CFW Career
Jared James signed an open contract in 2007 with big time wrestling promotion, Connecticut Forum Wrestling. While he was hired in February, in didn't debut until May 2nd because the company went on a hiatus for a few months. His first match in wrestling, against former CFW European Champion Nick Copani, was a loss and a motivator for James to improve. After a couple more losses, two for the CFW World Tag Titles, he was continually given more chances to shine. Then on June 21 he won his first match and first title in his career, defeating then CT Heritage Champion John Tolly just a week after Tolly won the title.

After winning his first match James has improved a whole lot. He has been getting praise from the veterans in CFW for his skills and is now seen as a threat when in the ring. He has retained his CT Heritage Title twice against John Tolly and was the 28th eliminated from the CFW Rumble at CFW: Revenge after entering in at #21. At Wrestlefest VII, Jared and partner Johnny Holliday were able to beat the New Era for the CFW World Tag Team titles. Plus, Jared was able to beat former partner and friend Jake Durnin to retain his CFW CT Championship. After the event, the duo of The Revolution were the fourth pick for the PTSN brand. He later qualified for CFW's Ruler of the Ring tournament (with a real injury) and is set to face off against Fred Debonair in the first round. On September 21st, James officially became the longest reiging CT Champion (holding the belt for over 3 months) but lost the title only weeks later to Destiny Summers. After a rough skit and a brief feud with Wraith, at a special edition Jared James beat Wraith but lost his World Tag Team Titles to The High Rollers. Soon after taking a leave of abscene, CFW closed down. But, after a discussion with owner Todd Vickers, the promotion has announced that it will not actually be closing.

GCW Career
Jared James signed a contract with promotion GCW in early November. He is set to debut sometime in January of 2008.
