James Mueller

"The New Shit" James Mueller's rookie year was filled with disappointments and breakdowns, but Mueller managed to return the next year and started one of the most prolific runs in XHF (Xtreme Hardcore Federation) history.

Background
In 2002, James' uncle Goldberg was a wrestler in the XHF. He held the XHF Internet Championship for four months, the longest reign the XHF had seen until Reeshi's historic XHF Championship run. In 2003, Goldberg's XHF seemed to have ended in a match he tributed to the "death" of Mongo the Destroyer, after being thrown off of his own creation by Rat Bastard, in the Ultimate St. Louis No Way Out Street Fight.

Just before Goldberg's forced retirement, he helped train his nephew James Mueller to take over for him in the XHF. After vigorous work outs and training in the rain forests of the Amazon, Mueller made his debut, immediately trying to get into the championship scene.

His first match was a tag match, pairing up with Goldberg's long-time friend/enemy/friend again Diamond. They went after the tag team titles but failed to capture the gold. Almost two weeks later, Goldberg would be hospitalized after his historic match against Rat Bastard.

The Glass Ceiling
James Mueller tried to ride his uncle's success in the XHF after his injury, but James Mueller could not capture any gold. He participated in ten championship matches in just 5 months. He managed to win Contendership matches but he could never go any higher then that.

Although, in non-title matches, James Mueller was successful. Defeating XHF legends like Hardcore Harry, Destruction, Death Trap, and Jeremy Lewis were not enough for the young rookie. The highlight of his rookie year came at Xtraction 2004.

It was announced earlier in the month of January of who would be participating in the Xtraction's annual tag team elimination match. James Mueller got the nod and he accepted the challenge. This was the only Xtraction match to not feature dominate stables and so instead was turned into a contendership match for the XHF Championship, to be later fought that same night. James Mueller managed to bend the odds and defeated 7 other men as followed: The Xtreme Warrior, Winter Callous, Destruction, William Spencer, Rat Bastard, J.L and Apollyon. He would get his first real pay-per-view taste, but Reeshi was standing in his way to glory.

James Mueller lost that night to Reeshi, leaving him upset and bitter, and even went as far as to coordinate careful attacks against XHF Legend Destruction. The two feuded throughout the month of February and James Mueller would eventually lose to the legend at the XHF Rumble. Later that night, James Mueller would do fairly well in the Rumble itself, lasting the longest time and eliminating the most opponents. However he would be the fifth to last eliminated.

A Genius
James Mueller surprised everyone now and again with his estranged tactics in some matches. He quickly became famous as a "cheater" on November 11th, 2003 against rival Hardcore Harry. The two had been feuding and James Mueller offered a handicapped match in Harry's favor, as long as James' picked the partner. At that XHF Gastro, Hardcore Harry teamed up with a Jennifer Lopez blow-up sex doll and lost after James Mueller hit the shooting star press and pinned the doll.

Mueller was also known to take advantage of the referee's oddly fragile states as he would fetch weapons and even go as far as to play possum. Shortly after, the XHF would enact rules against the "possum" moves.

James is also known to use make-up at times to play out attacks, as in when he attacked Destruction as Goldust during a scheduled match. The two were not allowed to be near each other at the time, and James Mueller found a way around the rules.

James Mueller even once scheduled himself to fight Rage's wife Torrie Wilson after a lottery drawing. Even though it was discovered by the camera crew that the name James actually picked wasn't Torrie's the match was still scheduled. Instead of fighting Torrie, it was a trap against Rage and ended in a bloody canvas with Rage featured all over it.
