PRIMARY FIGHTING STYLE:  Brawler
SECONDARY FIGHTING STYLE: Power
IN-RING STRENGTHS: James is tough as nails, and knows how to throw down when it comes to fist-o-cuffs. He can do a few basic leverage wrestling moves, but he depends mostly on power and punching.  He draws off the strength of the crowd as well, and when they are behind him he gets really fired up.
IN-RING WEAKNESSES: His technical wrestling is very limited. He's not the type to reverse a lot unless he's punching his way out of it, and is inept at chain wrestling. Sometimes he's too dumb to quit or give up, resulting in a knock out, or serious injury.  He also has an aversion to climbing the ropes.  That isn't to say he won't do it, but it would have to be pretty desperate.  
PERSONALITY AND GIMMICK: Pure and simple, James is a redneck. He'll call out a good 'Yeehaw' before going for a running move, and usually has the crowds support because of his good looks and southern charm. He's definitely the guy slapping hands on his way down to the ring.  He really enjoys having a good time in the ring, sometimes at his opponents expense.  At times he can become very stubborn and hot headed, and though he won't outright cheat, he will fight fire with fire.  (Ex.  Jerry Lawler in the Memphis Territories.)
BIOGRAPHY: Raised in Jackson, Mississippi, James is as country as they come. He loves his redneck way of life, and doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks about it. He's not playing a character, he's pretty much just being himself. Most find him ruggedly handsome.  James has spent most of his time on the independent circuit, but was noticed by a PAW talent scouts, and signed as an Enhancement Talent.  Just as PAW closed, James was introduced to Bobby Benson, who has now taken on the role of Road Agent/Manager for all of Radford's affairs.  Using his connections, Bobby was able to get him a tentative trial contract at Alpha Wrestling Empire.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: To date, James has never won a match, but has wowed the crowd against such opponents as Flaming Youth of The BombTrax.  Despite his unimpressive record, he did take on a more notable role on PAW DVD Taping's as the unofficial leader of the Enhancement Talent, who had many humorous spots throughout the promotions history.
RING ATTIRE: James comes to the ring wearing shiny black boots, black leather pants with 'Country Fine' printed on the ass, a leather vest with the confederate flag on the back, and a black stetson cowboy hat. (He looses the hat and vest for the match)

MANAGER INFORMATION

NAME: "The Rebel Spirit" Bobby Benson
PICTURE BASE: Jimmy Hart
PERSONALITY TRAITS AND TENDENCIES: Jimmy is mouthy, obnoxious, and arrogant, but his one redeeming quality is that he does care about his clients.  So much so, that he will do whatever it takes to make sure that their careers advance, and has no problem telling you what he thinks you should think about them.  Always wearing a colorful suit and tie, he draws attention even further by carrying a bullhorn with him everywhere he goes, screaming through it until he's red in the face and unintelligible.  
INTERFERENCE/INVOLVEMENT TENDENCIES: Though James doesn't care for the interference, sometimes Bobby has a pension to get involved if he see's an opportunity.  Even if he isn't physically distracting Radford's opponents, or the referee, he is always mouthing off on his bullhorn, which creates a distraction within itself.  To put it bluntly, there is no where he goes where he is not a distraction, however, in the interest of trying to keep with James' preferred 'Face' status, it is obvious that he is restraining himself from doing what he would normally do.  The fans don't love or hate him, just sort of tolerate him.
