James Guffey (born December 8, 1982 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name,
Jimmy Rave.
Career
Rave wrestled for the now defunct NWA Wildside promotion, and for Ring of Honor as a member of The Embassy.
Rave has gained notoriety for being hated by ROH fans despite his in ring ability. They often throw toilet paper and garbage at Rave and have been known to start chants of "Die Jimmy Die". This level of abuse goes far beyond the normal heel heat and has been known to genuinely anger Rave in the past. 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
