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.

[7] Following this, Gordy was assigned to Deep South Wrestling (DSW) in early 2006 under the ring name Ray Geezy, a white rapper gimmick based on Young Jeezy.

Jesse and Festus made their official televised in-ring debut on the October 5, 2007 edition of SmackDown!, defeating Mike Tolar and Chad Collyer.

[9] Their secondary gimmick was that when the opening bell rang, Festus's persona changed into a very focused, aggressive competitor as compared to the aloof, absent-minded character he had been portrayed as.

[11] On the November 9 episode of SmackDown!, Jesse and Festus suffered their first WWE loss in a 10-Man Tag Team Battle Royal to determine the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship that also involved Deuce 'n Domino, The Major Brothers, Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang, and William Regal and Dave Taylor.

[19] They continued in a sporadic feud with Miz and Morrison for the rest of 2008, but also underwent a gimmick change which began on the September 12 edition of SmackDown.

Gordy was soon taken off television until he reappeared at WrestleMania XXVI, where he took part in the 26-man Battle Royal that also involved his former partner Festus, now known as Luke Gallows, but both were unsuccessful as the match was won by Yoshi Tatsu.

[24] Following his departure from WWE, Gordy retired from professional wrestling and began working as a police officer in Atlanta, Georgia.

On April 2, 2016, Gordy made an appearance at the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony during his father Terry's induction as part of The Fabulous Freebirds, accepting the award on his behalf.
