Frank Paris (born May 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American professional wrestler known by his ring name Air Paris.

Career

National Wrestling Alliance

Paris debuted in 1999 and primarily wrestled on the independent circuit and for NWA Wildside, where he soon won the NWA North American Heavyweight Championship. Upon losing the belt to "Wildcat" Chris Harris, Paris moved on to NWA Wildside where he later won the NWA Wildside Junior heavyweight Championship before dropping the title to future tag team partner A.J. Styles, whom he was feuding with. In 2000, World Championship Wrestling talent scout Terry Taylor signed both Styles and Paris to developmental deals later in the year.

World Championship Wrestling

Paris made his WCW debute when he teamed with fellow enhancement talents James Storm, Cory Williams, and Mike Rapada, to face (and lose to) KroniK in a four on two handicap match on WCW Worldwide. Paris was then placed in a tag team with former rival A.J. Styles. The tag team was largely used to job to other tag teams, including Jamie Knoble and Evan Karagias as well as Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo, but the pair managed to score an upset over former World Tag Team Champions Alex Wright and Disco Inferno. In March 2001, Paris and Styles were repackaged as Air Paris and Air Styles respectively, and the team was dubbed Air Raid. Their new gimmick was for both men to dress in flight suits when making their entrance. They competed on the last episode of WCW Thunder in March 2001 in a losing effort to the Jung Dragons. When WCW was bought out by the WWF, both Paris' and Styles' contracts were not picked up due to lack of wrestling experience. After the demise of WCW and NWA Wildside, Paris (while retaining his Air Paris ring name) competed on the Georgia independent circuit.
