James Thomas Cox (born February 7, 1984 in Beeville, Texas) is an independent professional wrestling play-by-play announcer. He currently works for United Championship Wrestling, known by his ring name, "Doctor" Thomas Cox. He is the current "Voice of UCW", a title held by the play-by-play commentator for the company.
Career edit
United Championship Wrestling edit
Thomas Cox made his announcer debut at Memorial Day Mayhem 2007. He was suggested by many fans of UCW as a cross between Jim Ross' looks, Joey Styles' commentating style, and Mike Tenay's wrestling knowledge.
In July 2007, at the UCW Show, Cox was used as a human shield by Flaming Rose to get out of the way of "Bad Boy" Frankie Frank's warpath with the steel chair. Commissioner Marty Green, however, grabbed the chair from Frank before Cox could be hit.
