James King

James King, also known as The King of California, is the current European Champion of the European Wrestling Federation.​​​

Before EWF
James King grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles as the only child of two actors, and grew up experiencing all the city had to offer. Throughout high school and college, James was an accomplished gymnast and amateur wrestler, and used his early credentials and acting talents to get a leading role in the movie Gloryhammer, where he played the role of the Hollywood Hootsman.

Gloryhammer was a hit at the box office, but James felt....incomplete. Life as an actor wasn't fulfilling, and didn't present any challenges that entertained him. So, when he announced his intentions to leave Hollywood behind and train to become a professional wrestler, the public was shocked and considered it to be a rash decision. However, James felt a pull to return to his wrestling roots and began his training a month after his announcement.

EWF Debut
The King of California debuted against the Grimsby Mauler on March 28, 2020. After a close match, he managed to defeat his opponent via count out by throwing him into the stairs, and slipping into the ring before the referee counted to ten.

Nightfang
Before his debut match was changed, James King was set to debut against the masked wrestler known as Nightfang. After winning his debut match, the King of California challenged Nightfang to finish what the two had started. Despite the stipulation of their match becoming Falls Count Anywhere, James managed to pick up his first pinfall victory after a short match.

Asher Callaghan
The king's first feud as a professional wrestler began when Asher Callaghan began an intense twitter war with James, which eventually lead to the British wrestler attacking The King of California during a backstage interview. Eventually, James made a bet with Asher. If his opponent won, then James would give up his signature crown. If James won, then Asher would have to give him one of his Olympic gold medals. After a match dominated by The King of California, James pinned Asher to win the gold. After the match, they were set to face one another at the Animosity pay-per-view in a winner-takes-all ladder match. After a hard-fought and brutal battle, James defeated his rival for the third time.

Jim Leitzell
After exchanging heated words the week before James' first victory against Asher, Jim Leitzell, the former European Champion, selected the King of California to face him one week before ''Animosity. The challenge boiled over into a personal feud, and despite the Masked Lemon's experience, James managed to score a dominant victory and won the European Championship.''

Wresting Style
James King is a skilled jack-of-all-trades, who draws from his global training to adapt to his opponent. Although he is not comparable to masters of the craft, his skill comes from a combination of natural talent, his adaptability, and his reliable move-set. His signature moves include the Fisherman Buster and the Shining Wizard, while he often finishes matches with A Hollywood Goodnight or the California Cloverleaf.
