James Barrier
James "Buffalo Jim" Barrier (March 22, 1953 – April 6, 2008), born in Buffalo, New York, was a local wrestling promoter in Las Vegas. His legal struggle with business owner and landlord Frederick "Rick" Rizzolo, who owned land occupied by Barrier's auto repair business, was covered by the media during the early 2000s.〔(John L. Smith column, 2000, 'Buffalo Jim' even manages to make litigation colorful ) 〕
==Career ==
Barrier moved to Las Vegas in 1971, at age 18, from Cleveland, Ohio. He later opened his auto repair shop, Allstate Auto & Marine, on Industrial Road. He operated the business until his death. In the 1980s and '90s, he owned Buffalo Jim's Professional Wrestling School and had a local paid-for TV wrestling show, ''Jim Wars'', that aired on Friday nights. He also wrote a weekly column, "Nuts and Bolts with Buffalo Jim"〔(Las Vegas Mercury: Nuts and Bolts with Buffalo Jim )〕 on auto repair for the now-folded ''Las Vegas Mercury''.
Barrier over the years met many celebrities, including Hulk Hogan and Muhammad Ali. He also had a large collection of celebrity memorabilia, from vehicles to a lock of Elvis Presley's hair. Included in this collection were cars—a Jensen Interceptor—that used to belong to Wayne Newton and a pink Cadillac of Kid Rock's used during the rocker's proposal to Pamela Anderson.〔(Vegas Syndicate: 5/21/06 - 5/28/06 )〕
