Background|History:
James Sloane is a 15 year veteran of wrestling, going from dingy halls in front of 5 people, to sold out stadiums with 15,000, to enormous domes with 50,000. Sloane has seen every single facet of the industry that is professional wrestling and has experienced almost every high and low imaginable. After an unremarkable childhood, Sloane found his calling with professional wrestling and after years of slaving away in the local scene, eventually found himself in Japan working under and learning from some of the great names in Japanese pro wrestling history.
In 2014, James Sloane and his then girlfriend, Raine Chrissie, moved to America, where Sloane won his first championship stateside, becoming the first FAW F Division Champion. Soon after, FAW would close it's doors and both Raine and James appeared in a promotion called, Next Generation Wrestling, where the pair would team together and become the longest reigning Tag Team Champions. Sloane also won the Rocket Pro Pure Wrestling Tournament and championship at this time.
After the closure of RPW and NGW, Sloane would find himself in IWT, where he would take on the name "Fargo". It is in IWT where Sloane, now Fargo, found his greatest success. Early days in IWT, Fargo was named one of the hottest prospects on the roster. In 2015, Sloane entered the IWT Grand Prix tournament to crown the first ever IWT Universal Champion and came out on top as IWT's first ever Universal Champion. Shortly thereafter, Fargo found himself aligned with fellow IWT stars James Dragon, Rio Nakayama and Danny Jacobs as "The Bullad Club" where the group ran roughshod over the competition, beating out all challengers. Fargo main evented IWT's biggest show in history, beating a returning legend in a match that was highly rated by wrestling observers all over the globe.
However, all good things must come to an end, and after months of IWT management trying to put a stop to The Bullad Club, they finally got their wish. However, without The Club, IWT soon faltered and closed down. All four men went their separate ways to varying degrees of success. Fargo and Dragon ended up in XHW, teaming together as The Zaibatsu Death Squad. During this time, Fargo became a one-time Phoenix Champion, a belt designed to showcase rising stars in the promotion.
Soon after losing the Phoenix Championship, Fargo vanished without a trace from the wrestling world.

Entrance:
The lights in the building turn off. As the music kicks in. white lights flash in time with the beat, as a single spotlight shines down onto the centre of the entrance way. Around the twenty second mark into the song, Scott Fargo slowly steps out of the darkness and into the light. He then takes his time to look from side to side, scanning the darkness. After a few more seconds, Fargo begins a slow, confident walk toward the ring, ignoring any fan trying to grab his attention. Fargo then makes his way up the stairs and across the apron, the spotlight following him every step of the way. He stops and turns his head in the direction of the hard camera and removes his sunglasses as the lights in the building all turn themselves back on. After a few moments of Fargo giving a death stare to the camera, he steps into the ring and immediately makes his way to the corner. Fargo then removes his coat and crouches himself down in the corner waiting for the bell to ring.
