Rave wrestles for Ring of Honor as a member of The Embassy, a stable led by Prince Nana. He has also wrestled for the now defunct NWA Wildside promotion, Combat Zone Wrestling, Full Impact Pro and has made sporadic appearances for Total Nonstop Action. Rave has gained notoriety for being hated by ROH fans despite his in ring ability. In ROH it is common for fans to throw streamers over the wrestlers they support however Jimmy Rave has become a sort of cult recipient as the fans throw rolls of toilet paper at him. The fans have also been known to start chants of "Die Jimmy Die" and "Jimmy Swallows". By using moves such as the Pedigree he has capitalized on this heat and has incorporated it into his character. He garners many boos from the ROH crowd by using the finisher of the man who is considered the ever-enduring top star of WWE, Triple H. On January 14, 2006 in Philadelphia, Rave and Alex Shelley of The Embassy attacked ROH World Heavyweight champion Bryan Danielson after a successful title defense. Shelley was set to face Danielson at the 4th Anniversary Show, but lost the title shot after Rave used his title shot earned at the Tag Wars 2006, but Rave lost his match with Danielson. Recently, Rave has been tagging with Alex Shelley in search for the ROH Tag Team Titles. |
