Debut On April 20, 1996, Parris made his professional wrestling debut under ring name Kid Ego, where he and Mark Pain lost to Dusty Dotson and Nasty Critter in a
tag team match for the North Georgia Wrestling Alliance. One week later, Ego made his singles debut in a losing effort to Mike Golden. Paris appeared at the
following year's anniversary show on October 14, 2000, where he and
Cassidy O'Reilly lost to Bad Attitude (
David Young and
Rick Michaels) in a match for the
World Tag Team Championship. After debuting in the
NWA territory Wildside in early 1999, he soon won the territory's
Junior Heavyweight Championship on May 13. Paris and Styles gained their first and only win in WCW when they scored an upset against former
World Tag Team Champions The Boogie Knights (
Alex Wright and
Disco Inferno) the following week on
Thunder. Paris and Styles made their
Nitro debut on the March 5 episode, there they lost to
Elix Skipper and
Kid Romeo in quarterfinals of a tournament to crown the first
WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions. On the final episode of
Thunder on March 21, Styles was renamed to Air Styles and together the team was given the new name Air Raid as they went on to lose to
The Jung Dragons. When WCW was bought out by the
World Wrestling Federation, neither Paris nor Styles had their contracts picked up by the WWF.
Independent circuit After the closures of both WCW and NWA Wildside, Paris returned to competing on the
Georgia independent circuit, and wrestled his final match in the Rings of Glory promotion on December 16, 2005.
NAWA Ring Champions Upon debuting, Paris was given a match for any NAWA championship of his choosing by Commissioner Ted Guinness, but was subsequently attacked by The Exotic Ones (Simon Sermon and
Rick Michaels), the promotion's Tag Team Champions. After the match, Paris
turned on Ganz by utilizing the title match he received from Guinness and defeated Ganz to win the Cruiserweight Championship, resulting in Paris becoming a
heel in the process. On July 3, their feud culminated when Paris and
Bobby Eaton were defeated by Ganz and
Ricky Morton.
Purks International Championship Wrestling In 2009, Parris left NAWA Ring Champions and joined Purks International Championship Wrestling as a booker and wrestler. He made his in-ring debut for the promotion on December 16 as a
heel, where he and Bobby Hayes lost to
The Steiner Brothers. After the match, Paris shook hands with the Steiner Brothers, becoming a
face in the process, but was attacked by Hayes until being saved by the Steiner Brothers. On March 6, Paris wrestled against former tag team partner and then-
TNA World Heavyweight Champion A.J. Styles in a non-title match, which ended in a no-contest due to outside interference. Paris then continued his feud with Hayes and Young and defeated them in a tag team match with
Kevin Nash as his partner on April 10. After the match, Hayes
piledrove Paris before Young did the same, injuring him in the process. On February 12, 2011, Paris teamed with Terry Lawler to defeat Hayes and Young in a tag team match. ==Other media==
