Terry Ray Gordy Jr. (born March 23, 1979) is an American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) between 2005 and 2010, where he performed on its SmackDown brand under the ring names Jesse and Slam Master J.
After receiving training from his father Terry, Gordy began performing for several promotions, most notably NWA Georgia and North American Wrestling Association (NAWA), where he found championship success in both promotions.
In 2001, Gordy went to Japan to wrestle for Pro Wrestling Noah. There he stayed and wrestled until 2002 where he joined NAWA Ring Champions based out of Rome, Georgia. There he formed a brief team with Nick Rampage and Jayson Phoenix known as The New Varsity Club. Early 2003 saw Gordy form a new union with Iceberg Slim and Tank Norton known as the Extreme Freebirds. During this time he a had string of matches against his former partners Phoenix and Rampage, along with matches against A.J. Styles.
In August 2005, Gordy signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He made his televised debut for the company on the December 9, 2005 episode of SmackDown!, where he lost to The Boogeyman in just over a minute. Following this, Gordy was assigned to Deep South Wrestling (DSW) in early 2006 under the ring name Ray Geezy, a white rapper gimmick that saw him team with Damian Steele, who contrasted Geezy by being African American, preppy and well-spoken. In November 2006, Gordy dropped the gangsta gimmick, was renamed to Cousin Ray and adopted a hillbilly gimmick as he began teaming with Henry Godwinn at SmackDown house shows.
