Professional wrestling career

Early career

Cruikshanks was trained to wrestle by his father Bill Dundee and debuted in 1988 in USA Championship Wrestling in Knoxville, Tennessee, a split off from Continental Wrestling in Alabama. In the promotion, he was a manager for the Rock 'n' Roll RPMs (Mike Davis and Tommy Lane). He also fought with The Riches (Johnny and Davey) and the Armstrongs. He wrestled alongside his father in Memphis under the ring name Jamie Dundee.

United States Wrestling Association

In the United States Wrestling Association in the early 1990s, Dundee turned on his father and became J.C. Ice, a white rapper, loosely based on Vanilla Ice. He formed a tag team called PG-13 with Kelly Wolfe (known as Wolfie D) and dominated the USWA tag team division throughout the mid-1990s, winning the USWA Tag Team Championship on fifteen occasions. After losing to Bill Dundee, PG-13 were obliged to leave the USWA. They returned shortly thereafter under masks as The Cyberpunks, Ice (Dundee) and Fire (Wolfe). After some time, The Cyberpunks unmasked and reverted to being PG-13.[2]

World Wrestling Federation

In 1995, PG-13 entered the World Wrestling Federation and feuded with The Smokin' Gunns but were gone shortly thereafter. In 1997, they re-appeared with the World Wrestling Federation as members of The Nation of Domination. Along with Jim Johnston and Wolfie D, he helped create their theme song.

Extreme Championship Wrestling

In 1998, PG-13 appeared with Extreme Championship Wrestling, where they became known for goading the audience and their opponents. They wrestled The Eliminators, Spike Dudley, and Mikey Whipwreck.

World Championship Wrestling

PG-13 appeared briefly for World Championship Wrestling in the early 2000s, where at times they teamed with Frog. They frequently had matches with the Jung Dragons and Three Count.

Independent circuit

Upon leaving WCW, Cruikshanks returned to wrestling on the independent circuit. He was briefly nicknamed "The Convict" and had a gimmick that saw him handcuffed before and after his matches.

Personal life

Cruikshanks is the son of Australian professional wrestler William "Bill Dundee" Cruikshanks. In 2008, Dundee recorded an interview with YouShoot
