James also spent a lot of time in Puerto Rico for the IWA teaming with Glamour Boy Shane, Bison Smith, and Chet the Jet. He won the Intercontinental title and is a former three-time tag team champion.[3][4] He was also a member of Savio Vega's La Compania and was managed by Jose Chapparo. KC James became infamous within the IWA when he brought in a wrestler named "Carlitos" to parody Carlito when he was still with the World Wrestling Council. James often called the fans in attendance "you puercos", which translates as "you pigs". He feuded with Miguel Pérez Jr., Chicano, Slash Venom, Glamour Boy Shane, Rikishi, and Invader #1.
James and Stevens had many run-ins with the WWE Tag Team Champions Paul London and Brian Kendrick and "The Pit Bulls" (until Kid Kash was released from his contract), leading up to a title match at No Mercy, which London and Kendrick won.[9]

Wrestling as "James Curtis", he defeated Colt Cabana on November 17, to become the OVW Television Champion.[10] On December 14, he beat Cody Rhodes in a title defense.[11] He lost the title to Jamin Olivencia on February 20, 2008 due to OVW and WWE parting ways on February 7.[10]
