James Michael Curtin, a celebrated English former professional wrestler, has left an indelible mark on the world of wrestling, his legacy continuing to resonate with fans and enthusiasts alike. As a testament to his enduring influence, he is currently employed by the WWE, where he has transitioned into a writer on Raw, leveraging his vast experience and expertise to craft compelling storylines and characters.
Curtin's formative years were marked by his unwavering presence on the British independent circuit, where he emerged as a dominant force, claiming an impressive array of championships across various prominent promotions.
In the year 2012, a significant milestone was achieved by a talented individual as they participated in the renowned Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA, later rebranded as Impact Wrestling) program, British Boot Camp. This prestigious endeavor was a platform that allowed contestants to showcase their skills and compete against one another in a bid to emerge victorious and secure a coveted contract with the esteemed promotion.
As a result of their impressive performance, this individual successfully secured a contract with TNA/Impact, marking a significant turning point in their professional wrestling career. Throughout their tenure with the organization, they went on to achieve remarkable success, capturing the prestigious X Division Championship on two separate occasions.
Following his departure from Impact in October 2017, Curtin embarked on a new professional journey, securing a contract with the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) organization. As part of this agreement, he took on the position of on-screen General Manager of 205 Live, a WWE brand specifically focused on showcasing the talents of cruiserweight competitors, with a weight limit of 205 pounds or less.
In addition to his responsibilities as General Manager of 205 Live, Curtin also briefly assumed the role of manager for the Raw-based tag team, Akam and Rezar, also known as AOP.
Curtin's professional wrestling career experienced a significant surge in 2019, as he transitioned from a primarily non-wrestling role to an in-ring competitor, subsequently earning the impressive distinction of being an eight-time 24/7 Champion.
However, his time with the company was cut short in April 2020, as he was released due to budget cuts that were implemented as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a devastating impact on the global economy and the entertainment industry as a whole.
As a result of these unforeseen circumstances, Curtin's tenure with the company came to an abrupt end, marking a significant turning point in his professional wrestling career.
Curtin's professional wrestling journey didn't come to a halt despite the conclusion of the WWE title reign, as he was given the opportunity to participate in a multi-month Interim NXT Cruiserweight Championship tournament.
