Early life
Dundee was born James Cruickshanks in Sydney on 5 July 1971. He is the son of Scottish-Australian professional wrestler Bill Dundee and the brother-in-law of professional wrestler Bobby Eaton.
In 1995, PG-13 entered the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and feuded with The Smokin' Gunns but were gone shortly thereafter. In 1996, they re-appeared with the World Wrestling Federation as members of the Nation of Domination. Along with Jim Johnston and Wolfie D, he helped create their theme song.
In 1997, PG-13 appeared with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), challenging the Dudley Boyz for the vacant World Tag Team Titles at Hardcore Heaven 1997. In ECW they were known for goading the audience and their opponents. They wrestled The Eliminators, Spike Dudley, and Mikey Whipwreck. In 1998, Dundee wrestled there by himself between May and June against the likes of Chris Candido, John Kronus, Chris Chetti and Balls Mahoney.
PG-13 appeared briefly for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1999 and 2000. They frequently had matches with The Jung Dragons, The Varsity Club, and 3 Count.
Upon leaving WCW, Cruickshanks returned to wrestling on the independent circuit. He was briefly nicknamed "The Convict" and had a gimmick that saw him handcuffed before and after his matches.
