Career

National Wrestling Alliance

Paris debuted in 1999 and primarily wrestled on the independent circuit before winning the North American Heavyweight Championship. Upon losing the belt to "Wildcat" Chris Harris, Paris moved on to NWA Wildside, where he later won the Junior Heavyweight Championship before dropping the title to future tag team partner A.J. Styles, with whom he was feuding with. After the title loss, Paris teamed with Cassidy O'Reilly to form The Hot Shots, although he was later replaced by Chase Stevens due to being signed to a developmental deal with World Championship Wrestling in 2000.

World Championship Wrestling

Paris made his WCW debut when he teamed with fellow enhancement talents James Storm, Cory Williams, and Mike Rapada, in a losing effort to KroniK in a four on two handicap match on an edition of WorldWide . Paris was then placed in a tag team with former rival A.J. Styles. The tag team was largely used to job to other tag teams, including Jamie Knoble and Evan Karagias as well as Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo, but the pair managed to score an upset over former World Tag Team Champions The Boogie Knights (Alex Wright and Disco Inferno). In March 2001, Paris and Styles were repackaged as Air Paris and Air Styles respectively, and the team was dubbed Air Raid. Their new gimmick saw both men dress in g-suits when making their entrance. They competed on the last episode of Thunder in March 2001 in a losing effort to the Jung Dragons. When WCW was bought out by the World Wrestling Federation, both Paris' and Styles' contracts were not picked up.

Independent circuit

After the closures of both WCW and NWA Wildside, Paris, returned to competing on the Georgia independent circuit, with his last match occurring for the Rings of Glory promotion on December 16, 2005. In 2008, Parris returned to wrestling under his Air Paris ring name and joined the promotion NAWA Ring Champions, where he works as both a wrestler and a booker. On May 15, Paris defeated Chris Ganz for the promotion's Cruiserweight Championship.
