About Wrestler: James Chilvers was blinded in a childhood accident, resulting in severely limited vision in his right eye and full vision loss in his left. But the incident never stopped him from following his dreams, joining the WAW Academy with support and encouragement from his mother and aunt. Under the tutelage of Zak Zodiac, James has developed a unique wrestling style, using the sounds and vibrations of the ring to understand where his opponent is at all times.

A character representing James was featured in the film Fighting With my Family and Chilvers himself starred in the BBC documentary, Step Into the Ring. He hopes to continue progressing in training and one day win championship gold.

Outside of wrestling, Chilvers has a strong passion for music, playing guitar and holding a deep appreciation for the music of Tool and James Maynard Keenan.
