CHARACTER INFORMATION
Disposition/Alignment: Strategist-Technical/ Tweener
Gimmick: Humble Veteran Wrestler looking to better others thru him.
Background: James Ranger has competed around the world since he was 21. His family heritage stems from his grandfather and father respectively competing in the world of wrestling, he grew up to be fascinated by it. Yet, his father, married to a woman who was raised in a business elitism, sought to seek balance in his son's life. James spent his early years traveling the world to learn the craft and anything that would help him mold his wrestling style. At the same time, he was taught strictly by those his mother hired, to know the world of business and how to shape for the better.
His initial years of truly wrestling, came when he broke into the world of WWX as a manager, guiding his wrestling school classmate to early success as a strategist with an eye to exploit openings inside and outside the ring, using his cocky attitude to cut promos as the hype-man when needed. It wasn't long before his hunger for competing and a sense of purpose triggered him to call himself the Black Mamba, taking his methods that he applied to his partner to himself. Striking whenever and wherever he could, he manipulated his way to many championships, applying cowardly tactics to prolong his reigns, sometimes employing his friends, to ensure that no challenger could get near him.
He eventually realizes over time, that brains wasn't always going to win, losing championships as quickly as he won them. He step away from WWX, to seek more training, to better hone his craft.

James shakes his head in pity, taking to the top rope of a turnbuckle, eyeing either the facedown/face up prone opponent, executing a shooting star press and continue the rotation to land with both feet on an opponent's back or stomach for effect.
2. Fangs of Destiny - Inverted Figure Four Ankle Lock - This submission hold involves a combination of the Figure-Four Leglock and the Ankle lock. However, instead of locking the opponents legs in a "4" shape, the attacking wrestler crosses one of the opponent's legs over to the other and applies pressure on the opponent's crossed leg with one of his own and at the same time uses a key ankle lock submission grapevine on the other leg.
Optional Ultra-Finishing Move
1. Coiled Embrace - Manji-Gatame (inverted swastika hold)/Octopus Hold - James stands behind the opponent and hooks a leg over the opponent's opposite leg. The wrestler then forces the opponent to one side, traps one of the opponent's arms with their own arm, and drapes their free leg over the neck of the opponent, forcing it downward. This elevates the wrestler and places all the weight of the wrestler on the opponent.
