Dean Allan James (born January 2nd, 1987) is an Australian professional wrestler, better known by his ring name 'The Iceman' Dean James. He is currently the Chairman of Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF) and is also a part time wrestler for the promotion. He is best known for his tentures with World Global Wrestling Federation (WGWF), UFA (United Federations Alliance) (and it's various past promotion names) and Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF).

Early Career
Ever since his early teens Dean James knew he wanted to be a wrestler. He signed up for wrestling training as soon as he could afford it and got started training with a company known as PCWe. Within the year Dean James had finished his wrestling training and had already been signed to the PCWe roster after impressing some of PCWe's top stars. Whilst a part of the PCWe roster Dean James defeated the likes of Daniel Swagger and Slex and also capture the PCWe Championship once.

In mid 2006 Dean James decided it was time to move on from Australian wrestling and move on to the big times in America and decided to call it quits on wrestling full time in Australia to pursue much larger goals.

MySpace Coalition Wrestling
He was signed to a contract with MySpace Coalition Wrestling by the Chairman; President Tags and was offered to be one of the promotions major stars. In accordance to that promise he was handed the Evolution Nights Television Championship which he kept in his possession for the six week run of the promotion. He also managed to capture the MWC Lightweight Championship during his short-lived tenture with the promotion.

After several backstage management disputes and constant arguing amongst roster members the promotion was forced to be shut down.

World Coalition Wrestling
President Tags brought back the MWC promotion under a new name; World Coalition Wrestling and implored that all the loyal members of MWC came and joined his new promotion. Dean James was more than happy to come aboard the new WCW roster. Dean James was once again the Television Champion of a President Tags promotion upon his debut, but this time he earned the title with a win in a Triple Threat Elimination Match.

He would go on to defend the Television Championship for several months while also trying to pursue secondary championship gold, the United States Championship. He would lose the Television Championship a month later in a Unification Match for both the Television Championship and United States Championship against one of WCW's top stars at the time.

MWC Invasion
After the loss of the Television Championship the old roster from MWC began to invade the WCW promotion in pursuit of showing up the WCW brand and solidifying their own names in the history books. The invasion led to several superstars turning on each promotion from one promotion to another, this also included Dean James betraying WCW to join the MWC crusade.

MWC brought it's old championships to WCW and they were defended on WCW television. Dean James was placed in a Triple Threat Match for the MWC Television Championship but was unfortunately unsuccessful in regaining the championship that he never lost in the original MWC promotion.

Management of WCW decided that enough was enough and dedicated an entire Free Per View event to ending the Invasion once and for all. Both promotions World Championships would be put on the line in the main event. Several weeks beforehand the co-owner of MWC and the man leading MWC into the Invasion with WCW offered Dean James a shot at MWC's World Championship which he gladly accepted. Later that night on the show he managed to capture the MWC World Championship in a Triple Threat Match for the first time in his career and would ultimately become the man defending MWC in the Champion Vs. Champion match to end the Invasion.

In a match for the ages Dean James managed to walk out victorious and not only retain his MWC World Championship but also capture the WCW World Championship for the first and only time. In a suprise shock he turned on the MWC promotion and ultimately claimed WCW was the superior promotion, leading to the demise of MWC.

The following night he was crowned the Undisputed World Champion of WCW after both the MWC and WCW World Championships were unified. He would be the only man to ever hold the Undisputed World Championship as the promotion would fold a few weeks later due to several backstage reasons.

World Wrestling e-Federation
President Tags would once again decide to re-open his own promotion and would again rename the promotion, this time naming it World Wrestling e-Federation. Many amongst the company were not happy with the name due to it's blatant rip off of the WWF (World Wrestling Federation) name, this however did not sway the Chairman's decision as he did not change the promotions name.

The Era Of The NU Wave
Upon returning to a President Tags promotion, Dean James was booked into a Fatal Four Way Match for the WWeF World Championship. He was unsuccessful in capturing the World Championship, a championship he never lost in WCW, President Tags' previous promotion.

After the loss he decided that now he had won several championships ranging from all areas of the food chain that it was time that he got into the tag team scene of wrestling. He sort out to find a tag team partner and didn't have to look long before a newcomer to the company threw his hand up and asked to be Dean James' tag team partner. He gave the rookie the chance, this being a tremendous decision in his career. The team of Dean James and the newcomer, JD Nitro would then form the tag team of NU Wave which would go on to be one of the greatest tag teams to ever be a part of a President Tags promotion.

After forming the NU Wave team they instantly sort out to capture the Tag Team Championships and would eventually do so when and would do so in an unorthodox fashion, JD Nitro captured the Tag Team Championships in a Fatal Four Way Match. The NU Wave would hold the Tag Team Championships for about a month before losing the Tag Team Championships. They would then recapture the Tag Team Championships for a second time six days later by defeating the team that had ended their first reign as champions in a No Disqualifications Match which saw Jason Creed interfere, costing the current Tag Team Champions the titles and ultimately leading to Jason Creed alligning himself alongside The NU Wave.

The NU Wave, being a heel team, were despised by the audience despite their tremendous wrestling ability and successful tag team career. They would constantly become involved in the high profiled feuds along with some of the companies top heels at the time, leading to the hate towards the team growing even more out of control.

Singles Run
About a month later The NU Wave would lose their Tag Team Championships in a Ultimate X Tag Team Match and would decide to slowly slide their way back into the singles division of the company. Whilst being a part of The NU Wave JD Nitro had managed to capture the WWeF FTW Championship but would decide to push for greater heights by trying to get himself into the World Championship picture. Dean James on the other hand had captured several singles championships while being a part of The NU Wave, he had captured the WWeF Television Championship early on in his WWeF tenture but it would later be unified with the WWeF Intercontinental Championship after Dean James was unsuccessful in capturing the Intercontinental Championship in a Unifications Match. He would later capture the WWeF Intercontinental Championship in what would become one of his trademark matches, the First Blood Ladder Match.

The NU Wave tag team would slowly fizzle out and when JD Nitro was forced to leave the company due to personal reasons Dean James was back to being a singles superstar. He had capture the Intercontinental Championship previously in a First Blood Ladder Match at the Rock The Vote Free Per View against a newcomer and a wrestler with potential, a wrestler known as Johnny O Bom. The two had been feuding over the Intercontinental Championship for some time and the First Blood Ladder Match would only elevate that feud. After the First Blood Ladder Match at the Rock The Vote Free Per View the two would continue to feud over the Intercontinental Championship for several weeks. The two would square off at the following Free Per View event known as Winter Warfest where both the Intercontinental Championship and Johnny O Bom's newly won FTW Championship would be on the line in a Unification Match. Johnny O Bom would get one up over Dean James after being defeated countless times and would capture the Intercontinental Championship for a second time, potentially ending the feud between the two. The two would continue to have heat between each other since that feud.

Shotgun, WWeF's new show, would be on a rise to fame after debutting as a measly highlight show with rookies performing in it's matches. Several championships were placed on the promotion; including a Shotgun Heavyweight Championship. Evolution championships would also be able to be defend on Shotgun shows. WWeF management would decide to bring the Television Championship back to the company after it was in the company for a few weeks before being unified with WWeF's Intercontinental Championship. Dean James would be given a chance at becoming a two time WWeF Television Champion and would capture the Television Championship for a second time in a Fatal Four Way Elimination Match on Shotgun.

The Chairman Of WWeF
Tragedy would be bestowed upon President Tags and he would be forced to hang up his Chairmanship position and hand it over to someone else, he would offer the position to Dean James who gladly accepted. With his new found position in the company Dean James would slowly start to disappear from the in-ring action. Although he was not wrestling as often as he use to he used his new found powers in manipulative ways to benefit himself, he would book himself into a FTW Championship Match in which he managed to win. Two weeks later he would offer the former champion the chance to retain his FTW Championship but was unsuccessful in doing so and would ultimately lead to Dean James holding onto the FTW Championship.

Brand Warfare
Dean James started to let his own ego get in his way of good management and would start feuding with some of WWeF's top stars to keep his limelight alive. While going on this ego trip a brand war would slowly begin to develop between Evolution and Shotgun, President Tags' promotions had a history of invasions, this would be no suprise to anyone. While Dean James was trying to steal the show at WWeF's biggest Free Per View of the year, Grand Festival, the General Managers of Evolution and Shotgun would begin a rivalry with each other. Shotgun had two General Managers and ultimately their egos would get the best of them and would lead to them feuding with not only Evolution's General Manager but also each other.

After snapping out of his ego trip Dean James would decide to do something about the Evolution and Shotgun brand war and would drop an up-coming Pay Per View event to make way for an Hostile Invasion Free Per View. Again, no suprise to those familiar with a President Tags promotion.

In a suprise twist President Tags would return to the company after revealing he had been shot at a night club he owned and had just opened up for business. His return was for one sole reason, to claim his old position as WWeF Chairman. While bickering with each other about how to solve this predicament they would manage to work together and come up with a decent line-up for the Hostile Invasion Free Per View card, with the FTW, Television and ressurrected Lightweight titles being put on the line in a Triple Threat Unification Match with the winner being crowned as the first ever Heritage Champion. The main event would also be booked as a special fatal-four way event for both the WWeF World Championship and the Shotgun Heavyweight Championship. Not only that but both Dean James and President Tags would decide to wrestle each other at Hostile Invasion in a match where the winner would be the Chairman. Not only that but all former President Tags promotion names (including WWeF) would be unified, so to speak, as one name, that name being United Federations Alliance straight after the Hostile Invasion Free Per View.

At the Hostile Invasion Free Per View, in a suprise twist, Dean James would actually lose to the inexperienced President Tags and would lose his Chairmanship position with the company. A new General Manager for UFA's Shotgun show would be announced as being Mike Tags, Destra would win the Heritage Championship after putting his FTW Championship up on the line and would give his therapist, Dr. Howard, the Lightweight Championship for a one day reign before the FTW, Intercontinental and Lightweight Championship would be unified as the Heritage Championship and Jason Creed, the Shotgun Heavyweight Champion, would win the special fatal-four way main event of the night to retain his Shotgun Heavyweight Championship and capture the WWeF World Championship, he would later be crowned with the UFA Undisputed Championship.

United Federations Alliance
Now that Dean James was a wrestler again he was to find a new direction in the company after treading on a lot of people's toes as the Chairman of WWeF. President Tags would disappear from WWeF unexpectedly and Dean James would become the Chairman on UFA. The Chairmanship title no longer interested him however and it would be given to JD Nitro who had returned to action a month or so earlier.

Feuding With The Psychotic Beast
He would set his sights on new goals in UFA, there was now a type of championship in the company he had yet to add to his impressive resume, the Heritage Championship. The current champion would still be Destra who was nothing but a monster in the UFA, he was feared by many. This however would not stop Dean James' aspirations to becoming Heritage Champion and he would challenge Destra to a match for the title, but not just any match, his own trademark match, the First Blood Ladder Match. Now up until this point he had only been defeated in one of four First Blood Ladder Matches (one in WWeF he wasn't even a part of) and, like expected Dean James managed to defeat the monster in the First Blood Ladder Match to become the Heritage Champion. It was no easy feat though. Destra would regain the Heritage Championship a few weeks later.

The Demonic Son Contained
Over the course of the next several weeks Jason Creed would lose the UFA Undisputed Championship and slowly re-allign himself with Dean James, although this time it seemed like Jason Creed was being forced to allign with Jason Creed for a reason that was never revealed in UFA.

The Un-Americanz
An interestng concept would be set up for a special event UFA, it would be known as Crazy 8's (also known as 08-08-08). It would eventually lead to the unlikely pairing of Dean James and the Canadian-loving, American-hating, Xavier Reigns. Due to the terms of the tag team concept both Dean James and Xavier Reigns would get a shot at the Tag Team Championships. They would win the titles.

Now the two had officially become a team they slowly started to become a team based on hate towards America. Due to Jason Creed's unusual alliance with Dean James he would join the faction also, along with his valet, Velvet Night. The faction would be known as The Un-Americanz.

The four would go on a rampage proclaiming their respected countries as the best in the world and hating on America and refering to it as over-rated. Dean James and Xavier Reigns would reign as the last Tag Team Champions in UFA history and Dean James would capture the Intercontinental Championship in the UFA before yet another President Tags promotion would close down. This time it would be for good. 

Starting Off Green
Dean James entered WGWF as a hot new prospect to the already well built roster, he made his debut in the 2007 edition of the West Coast Rumble where he managed to eliminate The Dawg. The Dawg, upset at his elimination, interfered in the match and eliminated Dean James. This led to a heated feud between the two that saw Dean James beat up The Dawg in the parking lot, shove him into The Dawg's car and drive him off of the edge of a pier. The two ended up squaring off in a Hardcore Match and Dean James walked out the victor and picked up his first victory in WGWF.

The Internet Championship
After gaining his first victory in the WGWF over The Dawg he went on a unfortunate losing streak. He was beaten by Jimmy Junior and defeated by the then WGWF World Champion, Famine Of The Vile in a 2 On 1 Handicap Match where he teamed with A-Dogg. In this match Dean James would be beaten up at placed in a casket whereas A-Dogg would be crucified in a controversial fashion.

He was unable to win a match and became desperate. Some good fortune would be bestowed upon Dean James though as he would meet a wonderful woman by the name of Gemma at a club and the both of them would fall in love.

He was given an opportunity to shine when he was booked in a number one contenders match for the Internet Championship against A-Dogg at the Spring Slugfest Pay Per View. His losing streak continued with a loss to A-Dogg in his most important WGWF match at this point of his career. However, Dean James demanded a rematch and was given the rematch the next week on Brawl, the number one contendership to the Internet Championship was not on the line in this match booked to be a Hardcore Match. Dean James would pick up the win, the second win in his WGWF career.

After A-Dogg recieved his shot at the Internet Championship Dean James was once again considered for contendership. He would be booked into a Triple Threat Ladder Match against the current Internet Champion at the time, Bubba Josh and a up-and-comer in the business, MDK, early on in the month and would then have a heated rivalry with the two leading into their Triple Threat Ladder Match at the Hardcore Hell Pay Per View.

The Triple Threat Ladder Match was a thrilling match that saw MDK walk out the victor after headbutting Dean James off of the ladder, Dean James was a few seconds away from becoming Internet Champion but it all came crashing down around him, literaly, when MDK knocked him off of the ladder and claimed the Internet Championship for himself.

The Beginning Of The Epic Iceman/MDK Feud
After coming so close to winning the Internet Championship, Dean James took up the opportunity of being mentored by MDK. Whilst mentoring him MDK told Dean James to take every opportunity given to him and he took this message and ran with it.

Dean James was offered a spot on The Untouchable team alongside Paul Frost after his former partner, Primetime, had suffered a potentially career ending injury. Along with joining the team there was also the prize of one half of the WGWF Tag Team Championships. After a controversial double pin at Hardcore Hell the unlikely team of Paul Frost and Chronic Chris Page became Tag Team Champions, they battled in a singles match for both titles on the following weeks Brawl and Paul Frost became the soul holder of both Tag Team titles. Paul Frost wanted Dean James to be the other half of the Tag Team Champions and join him as a part of The Untouchables. Remembering MDK's advice he took this opportunity and ran with it, gaining possession of his first championship in WGWF and joining The Untouchable team which now consisted of himself and Paul Frost.

This decision lead to MDK becoming rather angry and disappointed at Dean James' decision and would ultimately lead to the two friends now becoming enemies. During the first month of their feud Dean James would also compete in the Masters Of The Mat tournament. He made it all the way to the Semi Finals where in an ironic twist he was forced to go up against his Tag Team Championship partner, Paul Frost. Dean James was unsuccessful in advancing and Paul Frost went on to win the Masters Of The Mat tournament and a future World Championship Match.

Genesis And The Continuation Of The Epic Iceman/MDK Feud
After the Masters Of The Mat month was over the Iceman/MDK feud would really start brewing with both of them verbally going at each other, back and fourth. Also during this time The Untouchables would become involved with the current World Champion at the time, Chronic Chris Page and the Chairman of WGWF, Adam Barker and form a new alliance known as Genesis. Al members of the Genesis faction would have their own feuds to deal with but would also work as a dominate team.

He would be on the winning side of a 6-Man Tag Team Match along with his Tag Team Championship partner, Paul Frost and the newest member to not only the Genesis faction but also The Untouchable faction, Kash Money the week after Masters Of The Mat, with MDK being on the losing team. Marc Warren, a second protege of MDK would pick up the Internet Championship and would set up a 'Marc Warren Challenge' where he pitted some of WGWF's finest in whatever match he wanted to decide a number one contender to his title. Although still feuding with MDK verbally Dean James would be a part of this challenge. He would advance in the first challenge which would be a Car Park Brawl where the wrestlers to last a specific time limit would advance. Dean James, his Genesis partner Kash Money and a newcomer to the company, Rex Bateman would advance to the second round and would compete in a Triple Threat Steel Cage Match to determine the number one contender to Marc Warren's Internet Championship. Despite their tag team advantage neither Dean James or Kash Money would be successful and Rex Bateman would go on to defeat Marc Warren in an Internet Championship Match. Once again the Internet Championship had escaped the grasp of Dean James.

All this time MDK and Dean James continued their verbal and physical feud. In the time that had elasped MDK had lost the Internet Championship and had captured the Intercontinental Championship. The feud between The Iceman and MDK needed to come to an end. Dean James challenged MDK to an Intercontinental Championship Match at WGWF's next Pay Per View event, Armageddon III and MDK would accept. Over the weeks leading to the match the match type would be decided, a new concept would be debutting in the wrestling world, both Dean James and MDK managed to together come up with a match style for their final encounter.

The match for Armageddon III for the Intercontinental Championship would be booked to be a First Blood Ladder Match, a first of it's kind. The decision to involve ladders in their final encounter was based off of the match that started the feud, the Triple Threat Match the both of them were involved in at Hardcore Hell Pay Per View months before where Dean James was inches away from winning the Internet Championship but was unsuccessful in doing so.

The time had finally come to end the feud once and for all as both men competed in what is described as one of WGWF's greatest matches. The match was incrediblly close but unfortunately for Dean James history repeated itself, he was inches away from the Intercontinental Championship and was knocked off of the ladder by MDK. MDK would retain his Intercontinental Championship.

Taking Out The Trash
Kash Money would be kicked out of the Genesis faction after the other members decided he wasn't suitable for the faction. Dean James would take it upon himself to make Kash Money's life hell and would constantly remind him of Kash Money's insignificance not only with Genesis but amongst the roster. The two would square off against each other at the Caged In Pay Per View. The same week Dean James's beloved Gemma would break up with him due to them spending very little time with each oher due to Dean James' wrestling career in the States.

The Tragedy That Shocked The World
After a Brawl show the following week Dean James would be run over by a car backstage in the parking lot. The accident would lead to Dean James being put on the shelf for several months and lead to an investigation occurring amongst the locker room to find the culprit who obviously planned to end Dean James' wrestling career or even his life.

One Icy Return
---

He joining the newly formed Untouchables along with Paul Frost and Kash Money. James was handed one half of the World Tag Team Championships that Paul Frost had won controversially in a match against 'Chronic' Chris Page. The Untouchables joined up with Page and Adam Barker to form the team known as Genesis. Dean James and MDK had now become mortal enemies due to M.D.K not been able to accept Dean James taking the wrong path to success. This ultimately led to Dean James and MDK going head to head throughout the summer. Dean James made it to the semi finals of the 2007 Master Of The Mat tournament where he fought his tag team partner Paul Frost. Paul Frost and Dean James then went on to defend their tag team titles for the first time against the team of Jason Black and Andrew King at Summer Madness. Many matches were fought between Dean James and M.D.K which ultimately led to M.D.K beating Dean James in single matches and Dean James beating M.D.K in tag team matches. The final encounter between these two men came at Armageddon III where both men squared off in the first ever First Blood/Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship. This would be James' last shot at MDK and he lost in a close match-up. In a shocking turn of events on the Sept 24 Brawl, Dean James was injured when he was run down by a car in the parking lot of the Norfolk Scope in Virginia. With investigations unable to discover a culprit, James made his return to the ring to controversially defeat Sam Hain. On only his second match back from injury, James defeated Dail Pritchards to become the Intercontinental Champion, his first singles title. Just a week later, following a bust up between Chris Page and Paul Frost, Genesis was disbanded although Frost and James remained a team. James managed to hold on to the Intercontinental Title for a record setting 106 days before finally being defeated by Brian Bostwick at Wrestle War 2008. James was unable to regain the title in a rematch a few weeks later but he does hold a couple of tag team victories over Brian Thorn and Bostwick. Dean James made his final WGWF appearance in the Elimination Chamber match at Spring Slugfest where he was attempting to become the final WGWF World Heavyweight Champion. Dail Pritchards ended the match was the winner, but James did finally managed to score a win over old rival MDK.

The Beginning
Dean James signed a contract to ICWL and was determined to make a success of himself in a new company, and that's exactly what he did. The disfunctional Chairman of ICWL wanted his newcomers to prove themselves in matches so Dean James's first two matches in the company were 'Loser Get's Fired' matches in which Dean James would win them both and abruptly end the career of two young rookie stars.

Hardcore Champion
Dean James slowly began to rise up the ranks of ICWL and slowly being noticed by ICWL management. Dean James would get himseld caught up in his first feud within the compay after defeating Untouchable. Untouchable thought he was the star of the company, even after losing to Dean James, and wanted to prove this.

ICWL management decided they would be bringing the Hardcore Championship back to ICWL with the addition of so many new stars to their roster. Dean James walked out victorious with the Hardcore Championship at ICWL's Hostile Takeover Pay Per View when he won a Hardcore Gauntlet style match-up.

The very next week Dean James was forced to defend his Hardcore Championship against a returning star to ICWL, Sean Hale and Khaos and, after much underestimation, would be victorious in the match and would keep possession of the Hardcore Championship. After this victory and his impressive start in the company ICWL management decided it was time to shake things up a litle and made Dean James defend his title against all challengers nearly each and every week. He would defeat stars like Bolt; a ICWL legend, and would also defeat Marionette in a First Blood Ladder Match.

Joining The Dark Alliance And Being On Top Of The World
At this point of his career Dean James was still undefeated after a month and a half within the company. He had captured the Hardcore Championship and was looking unstoppable. The Dark Alliance faction; consisting of Bane, Judgement, Marionette and Hardcore Enigma, took notice to Dean James's up-rising and decided to ask him to join their Dark Alliance faction.

In natural fashion Dean James continued to rise up the roster until the point where he was being looked at as the star of the Dark Alliance. Eventually he was given a shot at the ICWL World Championship when he was booked to face off against his Dark Alliance partner and current World Champion, Judgement. Dean James defeated Judgement in a Falls Count Anywhere Match to capture the ICWL World Championship. After the match Judgement snapped and attacked Dean James, putting him out of action for a month.

'The Controversial Loss'
After a month being out of action ICWL management decided to book Dean James to defend his Hardcore Championship against X-Rated. Dean James had not been cleared to wrestle and was informed last minute about having to defend his Hardcore Championship against X-Rated. Dean James had the option to either wrestle still injured and not cleared to compete or be stripped of his Hardcore Championship for no-showing the match. So Dean James had no choice but to compete and would lose his Hardcore Championship to X-Rated, gaining his first ever lose in ICWL after a two month winning streak.

The Dark Alliance's Betrayal
After his Hardcore Championship loss to X-Rated, Dean James was officially back on the roster and was forced to defend his World Championship against the man who had attacked him and put him out of action, his Dark Alliance partner, Judgement. Throughout the week Judgement was apologetic towards Dean James, stating his attack was simply a snap that he had little control over. Dean James accepted Judgement's apologies, believing them to be genuine.

Dean James would once again defeat Judgement with the World Championship on the line and Judgement would once again attack Dean James, blowing the friendship of Dean James and Judgement right out of the window. Dean James stated that the attack of Judgement and the turn of the Dark Alliance was due to them being fearful of how powerful Dean James was becoming within the company and how they feared him taking over the leadership role within the Dark Alliance. The Dark Alliance stated that Dean James was no longer the star they required to be a part of their faction.

In Dean James' final match in ICWL he would team with Bolt to take on Bane and Judgement for the Tag Team Championships in a losing effort.

'Walking Out On The Company'
In a shocking turn of events Dean James would walk out on the ICWL company, stating there was no longer competition within it's ranks. ICWL management didn't take two kindly to these comments and practically told Dean James not to let the door hit you on the way out. This annoyed Dean James as he meant no negativity behind his comments. Dean James was already be a part of two other companies at the time and wanted to spend his time within those federations as he had already done practically everything within the ICWL ranks.

Dean James left ICWL still as the World Champion and after ICWL managements blatant lack of respect towards him Dean James would dump their IVWL World Championship in the trash in a promo on WGWF television and would continue his career within WGWF. ICWL hosted a Battle Roy

Becoming Co-Chairman Of BTA
After Matt Harrison won a bucket load of money on the Melbourne Cup horse races back in 2007 both Dean James and Matt Harrison starting plotting to buy the Blood Thirsty Action promotion located nearby in their hometown of Melbourne, Australia. At the time Matt Harrison currently wrestled for the Blood Thirsty Action promotion and was their current reigning Hardcore Champion.

The Blood Thirsty Action promotion at the time was a little under the weather and was struggling to sell it's product, it seemed inevitable that the promotion would eventually be run out of business. Dean James had made a fortune off of his success in wrestling over in the States and with his wealth and Matt Harrison's Melbourne Cup winnings he believed running the Blood Thirsty Action promotion and turning it into a success would be a task he could handle.

Dean James had had previous experience running successful promotions, he had been the Chairman of both World Wrestling e-Federation and United Federations Alliance in the past.

Although this dream was constantly discussed between Dean James, Matt Harrison and occasionally their manager and friend, Eddie Garcia, it wasn't until late 2008 that anything was done about it. They knew it was time for action, it was time to pursue a management role with a company which, suprisingly, was still hanging by a thread even though it was struggling to survive.

Both Dean James and Matt Harrison got in touch with the current Chairman of Blood Thirsty Action at the time, Robert Newman and made plans to meet up with him to discuss purchasing Blood Thirsty Action.

Robert Newman was reluctant at first and didn't want to sell his promotion over to Dean James and Matt Harrison, but with constant persistence both Dean James and Matt Harrison manages to persuade Robert Newman to sell the promotion over to them, as long as he could be an active wrestler on the BTA roster. Dean James and Matt Harrison agreed to the terms.

The first Blood Thirsty Action show under Dean James and Matt Harrison's management saw Eddie Garcia stepping back into the ring to face the current BTA Champion, 'Bonecrusher' Steve Collins, in the main event for the BTA Championship. In an awe-inspiring turn of events Eddie Garcia was able to pick up the victory over the champion and became the new BTA World Champion.

Eddie Garcia was shot dead by Jason Creed at a local pub a few weeks later whilst still reigning as the BTA Champion.

Dean James and Matt Harrison's affiliation with the Blood Thirsty Action promotion is rarely discussed these days. Now that Dean James runs his own successful promotion over in the States known as the Universal Wrestling Federation it is unsure what his role is with the Blood Thirsty Action promotion. Sources from local fans say that Matt Harrison currently has a large role as the Chairman of Blood Thirsty Action and has been left in charge. Dean James tries to make time to help out with the promotion whenever he can.

The Decision To Go o The US
Dean James decided to bring BTA over to the US to run a seperate BTA brand of American talent. Unfortunately it didn't go according to plan, not enough people were hired for the brand to allow it to run smoothly and the idea of a US version of BTA was quickly abandoned.

The Beginning
After failing to get the BTA American brand up and running Dean James still held onto the dreams of someday running an American promotion to mega success. This time around Dean James did things with precision, so he rounded up his money, took his time and create the UWF (Universal Wrestling Federation). The soon to be created federation recieved much support and soon the wrestlers flocked to be a part of it's roster. The UWF was soon to be a success. Knowing he had things made with the Universal Wrestling Federation he decided to put out an open casting call for UWF's Underground show to employ a General Manager, two men caught the eye of Dean James. The first was a reputable man and wrestler known as The Bull who had had previous experience in running a federation. The second was Dean James' long time friend and former two time Tag Team Championship partner, JD Nitro. Dean James decided to hire both of them for Co-General Manager roles to shake things up a bit.

Feuding With A Newbie
Upon starting up UWF and having it run successfully for several weeks Dean James became a fan favourite, an unusual twist for a man known for his heel antics. A newcomer to the company, Shawn Kennedy, decided to make his impact by challenging the Chairman himself to Steel Cage Match. The stipulation in the match was if Shawn Kennedy won then Dean James would have to grant him whatever contract he wanted, if Dean James won Shawn Kennedy would leave the company just a few weeks after his arrival. The two faced each other at UWF's One Way Road Pay Per View in the Steel Cage Match in an incredible match. Unfortunately controversy struck Dean James climbed to the top of the cage and was on the verge of delivering his 5 Star Performance manuever when the lights went out in the arena, when the lights came back on Dean James was laying motionless in the ring and Shawn Kennedy was on the verge of exiting the cage. Shawn Kennedy would win the match and be granted the contract of his choice.

The Start Of Something New
Dean James was impressed by the efforts of Shawn Kennedy at One Way Road (as shady as they may have been) and invited Shawn Kennedy to side with him and that by his side he would take Shawn Kennedy to the top of the UWF. Dean James' decision to manage Shawn Kennedy led to him eventually starting up a group of newcomers in which he felt would be the future stars of the UWF. Dean James shortly after recruited Tommmy Vice to join the faction known as Termination X.

NU Wave's Tag Team Championship Challenge
Upon losing to Shawn Kennedy at One Way Road and creating the Termination X group, Dean James decided to bring Tag Team titles into the UWF and booked a match for UWF's WrestleFest Pay Per View. The match would consist of Dean James and JD Nitro reforming the NU Wave and challenging any two men to team up and try to capture the newly created Tag Team Championships in a match against themselves. Three teams stepped up to the challenge, Jondey Tendoy and Christopher Starr, The Perfect Plan (The Met Mistro and Danny Stone) and The Dark Alliance (Adam Militia and Bailey Almindo).

The Fatal Four Way Tag Team Match was controversial. After wrestling for several minutes JD Nitro decided to turn on Dean James and leave the match, this left Dean James going at it alone in the match against the other three teams. The match ended in a controversial fashion when both Dean James and Adam Militia got the pinfall in the match at the same time. It was announced that Dean James and Adam Militia would be announced as the first ever Tag Team Champions.

The next week Dean James challenged Adam Militia to defend his half of the Tag Team gold in a singles match on Underground, Adam Militia gladly accepted. Dean James walked out the victor in the match and was now in possession of both Tag Team Championships.

Over time Dean James decided on who should be the other half of the Tag Team Champions, he handed one half to his best mate and the Co-Chairman of BTA, Matt Harrison.

The team known as the Dark Alliance (Adam Militia and Bailey Almindo) were persistent though and claimed they wouldn't stop pursuing the Tag Team Championships until they were around their waists. This led to much back and fourth ranting between the two teams and some egotistical, power hungry tactics from Dean James. Eventually the Dark Alliance team would be granted their Tag Team Championship Match and would face the team of Dean James and Matt Harrison at UWF's Seven Deadly Sins Pay Per View. They were unsuccessful in capturing the Tag Team Championships and the team of Dean James and Matt Harrison would continue to reign as Tag Team Champions.

The Demonic Feud
At the Seven Deadly Sins Pay Per View after their successful defense of the Tag Team Championships both Dean James and Matt Harrison would be abushed in the ring by a large man with the watchful eye of the large man's valet at ringside. It would soon be revealed that this large man was known as 'The Demonic Son' Jason Creed, a man who had had quite a history with the UWF Chairman.

This attack would leave both Dean James and Matt Harrison seriously injured, putting them on the shelf for several weeks. While Dean James and Matt Harrison were injured Jason Creed would go on a rampage on the UWF roster, destroying everyone who got in his path. Jason Creed claimed that Dean James had to pay for his past sins and that he was there to get revenge on Dean James for something which happened some time ago. It was unknown what this 'sin' was that Jason Creed was referring to.

After two weeks of being injured Dean James would return to announce that the next week in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia both himself and Jason Creed would face each other in a Texas Death Match to settle the score.

On the night Dean James made an announcement that, at the time, some would consider being rather idiotic. He booked himself into a match against his own tag team partner Matt Harrison to delight the Melbourne audience. Both men were from Melbourne. In a great match Dean James would walk out victorious over his tag team partner, Matt Harrison. He now had serious business to attend to.

In the main event of Underground that night the Texas Death Match would unfold. It was a bloody and brutal match, both men were battered and bruised but in a fighting effort Dean James managed to pick up the win in the Texas Death Match with an award winning finisher to the match that would stun not only the live audience but the audience watching at gome. Dean James would proceed to climb up the Diamondtron and deliver a Five Star Performance from on top of the Diamondtron onto the laid out Jason Creed below. This gutsy move would win Dean James the match.

During the match both Termination X members had got themselves involved, Shawn Kennedy had been injured by Jason Creed in the match and asked for his release from the company. Dean James had to find a replacement to take Shawn Kennedy's place in the Termination X faction and would soon settle on Rick O'Shea, a relative newcomer to the UWF but a man Dean James had known from previous promotions the two had been in together.

Two weeks after the Texas Death Match in Melbourne both Dean James and Matt Harrison were booked to defend their Tag Team Championships. At the Kings Of Wrestling Pay Per View the week before a Battle Royal was booked to determine what team would be next to challenge for the Tag Team Championships, the last two men left standing in the ring would be the two men who would team up for a shot at the Tag Team Championships. The two men to be left standing in the Battle Royal were Johnny Sanchez and Cozzy X.

The two teams squared off on Underground for the Tag Team Championships and in a shocking twist would manage to pick up the victory and the Tag Team Championships after Jason Creed interfered in the match and cost Dean James and Matt Harrison the Tag Team Titles.

This interference only ignited the feud between Dean James and Matt Harrison even more. Dean James was determined to find out the reason why Jason Creed was in the UWF attacking him and making his life a living hell. Dean James challenged Jason Creed to a match at UWF's up-coming Mid-Year Massacre Pay Per View, but it would be no ordinary match, it would be the UWF Chairman's signature match, the First Blood Ladder Match. This First Blood Ladder Match would be billed to be one of the most important First Blood Ladder Matches in history as more than just championships were on the line. If Dean James defeated Jason Creed in his signature match Jason Creed would be forced to reveal his reasons for coming to the UWF an targetting Dean James. However if Dean James lost he would lose his chairmanship position in the company to Jason Creed.

After several weeks of back and fourth ranting between both Dean James and Jason Creed the time would come to face off in the First Blood Ladder Match with everything on the line (at least for Dean James). The match was bloody and brutal (as expected) and was filled to the brim with amazing action. Both men were on a mission to destroy one another. In what is known as one of UWF's greatest matches Dean James managed to ascend the ladder and win the match, keeping his record in First Blood Ladder Matches near flawless.

It was time for Jason Creed to reveal his secrets. Jason Creed had other plans for Dean James. Jason Creed was handed a microphone as he ascends from the mat and Jason Creed would reveal that the reason why he had been targetting Dean James was due to something that happened in a previous promotion they had both been in known as UFA (United Federations Alliance). During their tenture in UFA Dean James had control over Jason Creed, he had him by his side and was able to use him to his advantage in whatever way he wanted. Jason Creed revealed that the reason for this was that Dean James found Jason Creed's one weakness and took advantage of it, Jason Creed's mother. Jason Creed revealed that Dean James kidnapped Jason Creed's mother and kept her locked up in order to gain control over Jason Creed with manipulative mind games.

Dean James attempted to explain himself to Jason Creed, how he was a different person from that person in the past, that things had changed since UFA, but Jason Creed refused to listen and attacked Dean James in the centre of the ring.

With Dean James down and out on the mat Jason Creed looked down at Dean James and muttered seven final words to Dean James, those words were 'One more thing, i killed Eddie Garcia'. The truth had finally been revealed, Dean James was a kidnapper and Jason Creed was a murderer. Eddie Garcia had been shot a few minutes into the New Year of 2009, Jason Creed revealed it had been him who shot Eddie Garcia.

At this point Dean James was determined to get revenge on Jason Creed for murdering his mentor and friend, Eddie Garcia and for what he had put him through throughout the majority of 2009. Jason Creed has been locked up in jail, convicted guilty of murder and it seemed very unlikely that he would ever be back in a UWF ring again. But Dean James was determined to get Jason Creed back in the ring one final time and laid a challenge down on the table, Dean James was going to attempt to get Jason Creed released from jail so he could face Jason Creed in a final match and get his revenge. Dean James allowed Jason Creed to pick the stipulations for their encounter. With Dean James picking his signature match for their last encounter it was only fitting that Jason Creed picked his signature match for this encounter. He announced from inside of his jail cell (he was given permission to continue to record promos from inside of his cell) that their match at the up-coming SummerBash Pay Per View would be a Casket Of Torture Match, as long as he was released from jail and was able to make it to the ring for the match.

There was one week left until SummerBash and still Jason Creed hadn't been given a release from jail, not even for just one night. Dean James was getting frustrated and was attempting frantically to get Jason Creed released before SummerBash arrived. Then a miracle occurred, Jason Creed was released on bail from jail, an annoymous person had paid for Jason Creed's bail, a bail set so high that the police officers never expected anyone to be able to pay it. Jason Creed was free to wrestle Dean James at SummerBash in the Casket Of Torture Match and would no longer be spending time in jail for murdering Eddie Garcia. Dean James was not pleased about this but was estatic about being able to get his revenge on Jason Creed at SummerBash in the Casket Of Torture Match.

Dean James fought valiantly at SummerBash but was unable to beat the might of the monster. Over time Dean James was slowly pummelled until he was in a state in which Jason Creed could drag Dean James' lifeless carcass up the ramp and place him into the casket at the top of the ramp.

Since that match Dean James hasn't been seen in a UWF ring or backstage at a UWF arena since. Dean James has made several wrestling related appearances since then, but they have been very minimal.

King Of The Cage Tournament (EWC, November 2009)
Dean James was entered into a 32-Man tournament in EWC known as the King Of The Cage Tournament to determine who is the 'Best E-Fedder In The World', the winner of the tournament will be the King Of The Cage Champion. What makes this tournament unique is that they invite wrestlers from other federations to take part in their tournament so the definition of 'Best E-Fedder In The World' can truly be personified by the winner of the tournament.

In Round One Dean James defeated Matt McNerney, Deadpool and Kip Kutler in Fatal Four Way Match and managed to advance to Round Two in a controversial fashion when both himself and Deadpool's feet touched the mat at the same time when they both exited the cage. It was ruled that both men would advance to Round Two in seperate Round Two matches to one another.

In Round Two of the King Of The Cage Tournament he wasn't so lucky though as he lost in a valiant effort against Terrell Odom.

EWC invited all of those who were eliminated in previous rounds to compete in a Battle Royal to earn themselves a spot back into the King Of The Cage Tournament. Dean James made it publically known he was interested in entering the Battle Royal. Dean James was unsuccessful in regaining a spot in the King Of The Cage tournament.

2010 Return
It was announced by WGWF that 'The Iceman' Dean James would be returning to WGWF (Now renamed as the World's Greatest Wrestling Federation) to join the likes of John Stone, Heat and Fire and his Untouchables tag team partner, Paul Frost on the roster. One of his mentors, Famine Of The Vile, had managed to grab a hold of the contract of the WGWF and now runs the company.

Dean James made his in-ring WGWF return in a match against a former WGWF member and former WGWF Intercontinental Champion, Brian Bostwick and won his match after Famine Of The Vile intervened in the match and hit the Hellseeker on Brian Bostwick and had Dean James finish him off. It should be noted that Dean James wasn't too happy on the way he won his return match to the WGWF, but a win is a win after all.

Later on that night he competed in a Battle Royal Match to determine contenders to the WGWF World Championship and the International Championship. Both himself and Paul Frost whipped the floor clean with the competition in the Battle Royal and were the last two men standing in the Battle Royal. The two Untouchable partners will compete in a match to determine the contender to the WGWF World Championship and the WGWF International Championship at a later date; the winner getting the WGWF World Championship Match and the loser getting the WGWF International Championship Match.

The next week Dean James; reforming his alliance with Paul Frost as a part of The Untouchables, would defeat Heat and Fire in the main event of Brawl.

The next week Dean James was scheduled to face off against Paul Frost with the winner getting a WGWF World Championship Match and the loser getting the WGWF International Championship Match. But WGWF came back under old management and the match never occurred.

Under New Management
Adam Barker would return to the role of company head for WGWF after Famine Of The Vile was unable to perform his duties. This would mean WGWF would be starting fresh and the past few weeks matches would be treated as if they never happen. This meant Dean James would no longer potentially be in the WGWF World Championship title picture.

Dean James would make his return to WGWF under new management in a main event match against newcomer Mikel Batriani and would let the newcomer get the upper hand over him and allow him to pull the tights for the upset victory. After the match Dean James attacked the newcomer, Mikel Batriani and would later in an interview explain that his reason for attacking Mikel Batriani after the match was simply due to 'frustration'.

The next week Dean James would win a Triple Threat Match against Killer Keenan and Paul Darke. He impressed management in this match and gained himself a shot at the vacant World Championship at Spring Slugfest against the winner of the Global Cup tournament; either Primetime or James Raven.
