James "Jim" McCarthy (born June 2, 1976) is an American professional wrestler and trainer, best known by his ring name Dukes Dalton.

He competes on the independent circuit in the Northeastern United States.

McCarthy was one of the founding members of Tony Rumble's The Brotherhood, a "heel" stable which dominated NWA New England during the late 1990s, with Nelson, Eric Sbraccia and Rick Fuller.

After making his official debut on May 26, 1995, James McCarthy spent over two years on the independent circuit before entering NWA New England as Dukes Dalton.

He immediately aligned himself with The Brotherhood, a newly formed "heel" stable under manager Tony Rumble, which then included Eric Sbraccia, Knuckles Nelson and Rick Fuller.

When Sbraccia became injured shortly after winning the NWA World Tag Team Championship with Nelson in 1998, he and Fuller filled in to defend the title.

He and Nelson also won the NWA New England Tag Team Championship and defended both tag team titles in their home promotion for nearly two years.

As an instructor with Mike Hollow at the Chaotic Training Center in North Andover, Massachusetts, he has been involved in training Chase Del Monte, Chris Harvard, Chad Dick and both Bryan & Matt Logan, the latter two a successful tag team in Chaotic Wrestling, the East Coast Wrestling Association and New England Championship Wrestling.

Todd Sinclair, a senior official with Ring of Honor, received much of his professional knowledge and referee training from McCarthy and Hollow while a student there.

In 1998, Sbraccia and Nelson won the NWA World Tag Team Championship at the NWA 50th Anniversary Show.

When Sbraccia suffered an injury early into their title reign, McCarthy and Fuller filled for Sbraccia by helping Nelson defend the tag team titles both in NWA New England and occasionally in other NWA territories.

When a snowstorm forced Sbraccia and Nelson to cancel a scheduled title defense in North Richland Hills, Texas, on March 3, the titles were held up.

Several days following this, McCarthy teamed with Knuckles Nelson to defeat Jason Rage & Slyk Wagner Brown at a house show in Southbridge, Massachusetts.

Dalton would also gain an impressive singles victory over Trooper Gilmore, a one-time NWA New England Heavyweight Champion, at the Good Times Emporium in Somerville, Massachusetts on May 29.

The NWA World titles were returned to The Brotherhood on June 10 after a rematch in Dallas, Texas, but a week later Nelson and Rick Fuller lost the belts to The Public Enemy (Rocco Rock & Johnny Grunge) in Bolton, Massachusetts.

On June 19, McCarthy and Nelson took back the titles in Dorchester.

On July 12, they fought to a no-contest against Mike Hollow & "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas in Swansea, Massachusetts.

He and Nelson also defeated The Arc Angels (Damon D'Arcangelo & Phoenix King) to win the NWA New England Tag Team titles in Somerville on August 22.

McCarthy and Nelson eventually lost the NWA World Tag Team titles to the New York Posse (Curtis Slamdawg & Jay Kobain) at the Good Time Emporium on September 22.

He also made brief appearances in the World Wrestling Federation in 1999 and 2001, both as a singles wrestler and with tag team partner Knuckles Nelson.

On December 30, 1999, Dalton appeared at a special supercard promoted by Ultimate Professional Wrestling, Slam & Jam, which was the "grand finale" to the United States Marines "Toys for Tots" toy collection program during the Christmas holiday season.

The event was broadcast worldwide and featured over 20 wrestlers from the World Wrestling Federation, World Championship Wrestling, Extreme Championship Wrestling and others.

Also performing at the event were rock bands Riot Act and Motorplanet, both of which having been featured on MTV and ESPN.

Dalton teamed with The Boston Brawler in an interpromotional match against WCW's The Power Company (Dave & Dean Power), a match which they lost.

Following the breakup of The Brotherhood, McCarthy left NWA New England in early 2000 and spent the next year in various independent promotions.

On April 14, he made his third appearance on WWF Jakked wrestling Haku in the opening match.

He had a brief stint in New England Championship Wrestling before joining Chaotic Wrestling in the summer of 2001.

In one of his first matches, he teamed with Slyk Wagner Brown against "Babyface" Vince Vicallo & R. J. Brewer in Methuen, Massachusetts, on June 23.

This match was later aired on the promotion's weekly television show Friday Night Chaos.

Later that year, he wrestled The Boston Brawler in Lawrence, Massachusetts, on September 7.

Both men were accompanied by valets Brittany Summer and The Boston Babe respectively.

On December 14, 2001, McCarthy beat "Intellectual" Arch Kincaid in Lawrence for the Chaotic Wrestling Light Heavyweight Championship.
