Jake jumped into professional wrestling in 2004. He wasn’t very good. Around 2009, he started picking up the pace. as the next few years went on, he started making a small name in the United States. In 2014, he crossed the Atlantic for the first time to Norway, Sweden and Denmark. In 2016, he finally reached his major goal of heading to Japan, where he spent a good amount of 2016-17. Since then, he’s knocked out 21 countries and had tryouts or worked with almost every major company in the world.

Indy: Spring 2022
The Squared Circle Expo debuted in the US in 2021, right in Jake’s hometown of Indianapolis. He was able to capture the company championship, and his first defense was at this show vs. the hottest star on the independents, fka Zack Ryder, Matt Cardona!
Hungary: Fall 2019.
While in Scotland, Jake made friends with a great dude from Hungary named Ron. Six months later, he traveled to Budapest and got to fight Ron in the main event hardcore match at Pro Wrestling Magyorszag!
Indiana: April 2019.
White River Wrestling is the premier professional wrestling company in Indiana, and is also the creation of Jake himself. A lot of his favorite battles have taken place at WRW in central Indiana.

Denmark: April 2019.
After five years, Jake got to return to Copenhagen to wrestle. He matched up with a martial artist and incredible athlete named Carlos Zamora at CCW’s biggest show of the year, Ragnorak. The crowd refused to boo him, as we all believe they recognized a kindred, metal spirit.
Scotland: March 2019.
In the Fall of 2018, Jake became friends with Highlander Rory McAllister. He heard Jake had just returned from Europe and he was disappointed that Jake didn’t make it to his homeland of Scotland. He was then cool enough to reach out to Scottish Wrestling Entertainment and their awesome crew out of Dundee to remedy the situation
Germany: Fall 2018.
The only match Jake wrestled under his (very German) birth name, as they refused to have it any other way. For one night only, while wrestling for the legendary Alex Wright, he was not Jake Omen. While pictures were in short supply, this match was a ton of fun and the German audience was very receptive.
WWE PC: June 2018.
After 14 years, Jake finally got a WWE Tryout. He got to go to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida for 3 days to get completely brutalized. He finished at the top of his class of 46, but alas, the journey to the summit continued.
Japan: Fall 2017.
During the second half of 2017, Jake had the best run of his wrestling career. Jake teamed with a beast named Yuji Hino, and they ran through the WRESTLE-1 Tag League, during which he got to be a part of several huge matches at the Legendary Korakuen Hall.
Michigan: May 2017.
Cody Rhodes, fresh out of WWE, took to the independent scene and Jake was one of the first individuals lucky enough to work with him. This match took place in Kalkaska, Michigan at Mr. Chainsaw Productions Wrestling. Photo Credit: Ichiban Drunk
Norway: Fall 2014.
Jake’s first real international professional wrestling booking (sorry, Canada). He got on super last second thanks to the champion of the company, Daniel Sebastian, as he was a fan. There are only a few pics, sadly, but better than nothing.
Posed Fight Shots: 2010-2016.
This is a small collection of posed promotional shots of Jake from 2010 to 2016. The order is kind of random, as you can tell with the physique changes. Many of these were used (to death) on flyers, graphics, etc.
