James Gibson[1] (born December 23, 1976)[1] better known by his ring name Jamie Noble, is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment, wrestling on its Raw brand[3].He is also known for his appearances with Ring of Honor, where he won the ROH World Championship, and World Championship Wrestling in its cruiserweight division and is a one time Cruiserweight Champion.[4]

Career

Gibson started wrestling in 1995 after being trained by Dean Malenko, briefly working for the Jacksonville, Florida based Renegade Championship Wrestling.

World Championship Wrestling

His first national exposure was in World Championship Wrestling. He wore a mask to hide the fact that he was Caucasian and was called Jamie-San; as part of Leia Meow's Jung Dragons with Jimmy Yang and Kaz Hayashi. They feuded with "3 Count" (Shane Helms, Shannon Moore and Evan Karagias). While known as Jamie-San, he also had a stint in Independent Professional Wrestling, winning their Light Heavyweight title.[5]He eventually unmasked and became Jamie Knoble to form a tag team with Karagias. After WCW closed, He wrestled in the Heartland Wrestling Association and became HWA Cruiserweight Champion.[6]

World Wrestling Entertainment

Gibson later signed with World Wrestling Entertainment under the name Jamie Noble. He made his debut as a heel on the June 6, 2002 episode of SmackDown! by attacking the Hurricane and was joined by Nidia in a trailer park trash gimmick. He won the WWE Cruiserweight Championship[4] and feuded with Tajiri and Billy Kidman. Noble then got an inheritance, making both Nidia and Noble rich. Noble and Nidia both turned face by befriending Torrie Wilson and Billy Gunn. Nidia finally left him after she was "blinded" by then heel, Tajiri's mist. He became a heel again by doing things he thought Nidia couldn't see and lied to her about them. During that time he also feuded with Rey Mysterio for the Cruiserweight Championship. The two would face off for the Championship and Noble lost. A Boyfriend vs. Girlfriend Blindfold Match was then scheduled for Noble and Nidia at No Way Out. Noble came out on top after cheating to see where Nidia was. He left WWE on September 15, 2004 when his steroid usage came to light following a staph infection. WWE suggested a contractual release (which at first Gibson was a little disappointed with) to return whenever he wanted.

Independent circuit

After his staph infection came to an end, he began wrestling promotions all over the world including New Japan Pro Wrestling, Heartland Wrestling Association, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Ring of Honor, PowerSlam Pro Wrestling and Italian Championship Wrestling, as James Gibson. On June 28, 2005, it was confirmed that he would be returning to World Wrestling Entertainment after a one year absence and fulfilling his independent circuit commitments.[7] Before returning to WWE, he became the ROH World Champion when he wrestled in an elimination four-way match against then champion CM Punk, Samoa Joe, and Christopher Daniels on August 12, 2005.[8] He lost the title to Bryan Danielson on September 17, 2005.[8]

Return to WWE

SmackDown!

Jamie Noble about to wrestle a dark match.

Jamie Noble made his return to WWE on the December 17, 2005 edition of Velocity and would later frequently team with fellow cruiserweight Kid Kash; during May 2006, Noble and Kash debuted a gimmick, where they would wear dog collars as well as bark and bite and had a short face run. The pair quickly turned heel and were soon named "The Pit Bulls". They then entered the hunt for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The team came to an end after Kash's release from the company on September 27, 2006.[9]

Afterwards, in 2007, Noble would return to competing in the cruiserweight division and jobbing to the stars like Rey Mysterio and Bobby Lashley. At No Way Out, Noble competed in a cruiserweight Gauntlet Match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. He was eliminated by his former WCW teammate, Jimmy Wang Yang.[10]

Noble returned to television on the June 8 edition of SmackDown!, teaming up with Chavo Guerrero and Daivari against Paul London, Brian Kendrick and Wang Yang in a losing effort.[11] On the June 15 edition of Smackdown, Noble competed in a Fatal Four-Way number 1 contenders match for the Cruiserweight Championship, which he lost to Jimmy Wang Yang and also involved Shannon Moore and Daivari.[12] In July, Noble would come up short in a Triple Threat Match for the Cruiserweight Championship against then Champion Guerrero and Funaki. Noble then competed in the Cruiserweight Open at The Great American Bash but was pinned by Hornswoggle.[13] Noble would then begin a feud with Hornswoggle that would see him lose in various humiliating fashions, usually by count-out. Moore would constantly use his obsession with Hornswoggle to humiliate him as well.

After his feud with Hornswoggle ended, Noble began an angle where he was placed in squash matches, as punishment for being disrespectful to Smackdown! general manager, Vickie Guerrero.[14][15][16][17][18][19] He was eventually placed in a match with Chuck Palumbo, which was expected to be yet another squash. Noble, however, defeated Palumbo,[20] which began a feud between the two, as well as involving Palumbo's "friend" Michelle McCool.[21][22] After his fourth win against Palumbo he came out when Chuck threatened to hurt McCool, which indicated a face turn. Later in a tag team match, Palumbo attacked Noble and McCool, turning heel.[23][24] As a result, Noble turned face once again.

He started a feud with William Regal over the course of the storyline, the two trading wins, and Layla, between them. On the September 15, 2008 edition of Raw, the feud escalated following Noble's victory over Paul Burchill. Layla came out and told Noble it was over and she found a man worthy of her in Regal.
