James Dundee (born James Cruickshanks) (born July 5, 1971) is an Australian-born American professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with the United States Wrestling Association (USWA), the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW) under the ring name J. C. Ice as one-half of the tag team PG-13. He is also known for his appearances on the independent circuit under the ring name Jamie Dundee.
Professional wrestling career
Cruickshanks 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. Some months prior to his ring debut, he participated in an angle in which he was brutalized at a TV taping by Sid Vicious. He also was a heel referee in Memphis for a brief time.
In the United States Wrestling Association (USWA) 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]
In 1995, PG-13 entered the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and feuded with The Smokin' Gunns but were gone shortly thereafter. In 1996, 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.
In 1997, PG-13 appeared with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), challenging the Dudley Boyz for the vacant World Tag Team Titles at Hardcore Heaven 1997. In ECW they were known for goading the audience and their opponents. They wrestled The Eliminators, Spike Dudley, and Mikey Whipwreck. In 1998, Dundee wrestled there by himself between May and June against the likes of Chris Candido, John Kronus, Chris Chetti and Balls Mahoney.
PG-13 appeared briefly for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1999 and 2000. They frequently had matches with The Jung Dragons, The Varsity Club, and 3 Count.
Upon leaving WCW, Cruickshanks 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
Cruickshanks is the son of Scottish-Australian professional wrestler William "Bill Dundee" Cruickshanks, and brother-in-law of Beautiful Bobby Eaton. Dundee had a son named Austin, who died in January 2024 at 33 years of age.
