James) Trained by: Lolly Dude, Terry Taylor, Tommy Rogers TNA profile: One of the young lions of TNA Wrestling, Cassidy Riley is cajun born and raised from New Orleans, Louisiana. The star fought his way up to earn a spot in TNA Wrestling in 2004, first by proving himself in the high-flying X Division. Riley held his own against X kingpins such as AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels, showing he could one day be a top player for the X Championship. The star has shown he can also battle back from adversity in the most grueling of circumstances. After he was brutally attacked by Raven and had two of his fingers broken by the maniacal menace, Riley gutted it out and competed with the injured hand for several weeks. Riley has the ability to mix it up with the heavyweights or fly with the stars of the X Division - an asset that will help the promising star as he begins the road to stardom in wrestling. In recent months, the youngster has become an obsessed follower of Raven - mimicking the former World Champion during interviews and inside the ring. Riley has also come to Raven's aid in several matches. Why Riley would want to follow in the same footsteps as the same man who once broke his fingers is anyone's guess! |
