Logan Nicholas (born 23rd July 1992 in Wigan, Greater Manchester) is a professional wrestler currently signed to UNION Wrestling, where he performs under the name Nick Logan. He previously competed for PRIZE Wrestling League.
== Career ==
=== Early career (2011-2013) ===
Nicholas trained under Austrian former pro wrestler Tomas Schwartz at his gym is Frankfurt, Germany, appearing from November 2011 on several small cards around the city while his trainer attempted to get him booked onto something bigger.
BWF passed on him in early 2012, due to his lack of experience, though he did appear a few times that year for Best of British Wrestling. He moved to Canada in August 2012 to pursue opportunities there, although he'd not be signed by a promotion for almost a year.
=== Exhibition Wrestling: Canada (2013-2016) ===
It was EW: Canada that took a risk on the youngster in July 2013, adding him to their roster as Logic, a heel philosopher gimmick where he'd talk down to his opponents before inevitably getting beaten down. His first major feud would be with established veteran Phosphorus, culminating in a Steel Cage match at EW: Canada's Clash to the Core in January 2014.
Logic would defeat Billy Watts at Gruelling Games 2014 to capture the Provincial Championship, which he'd hold onto through cheating and trickery in matches against Lazzaro, Hugo James and the Buckshot Kid before turning face in his second feud with Phosphorus in early 2015. After that, he'd hold the title for little more than a month before dropping it to Buckshot Kid at Heed the Call 2015.
He'd take some time off to recover from wear and tear, returning at the Beach Ball in December 2015, though he failed to win the Beach Ball Battle Royal after being eliminated by Dirty L.A. The two would then feud for a few months, before Logic defeated him in a Loser Leaves Town match at Touched by Fire 2016. He'd be used sparingly for the rest of his contract, only appearing on minor shows, usually in a losing effort.
=== Wrestling upLOUD! (2017-2018) ===
Following his departure from EW: Canada, he'd then move back to Europe to appear for Dutch-based promotion Wrestling upLOUD!, under the name Nick Logan, in January 2017. He'd defeat Austin Tatious in his debut match, before putting on impressive matches with the likes of Barr, Frank Veen and Karl Storm to earn a shot at Axe-Man Dan's World of Pain Championship in October 2017, which he would narrowly lose.
He'd continue to appear on and off for the remainder of 2017, and then again in mid-2018, before announcing his departure in June.1
=== PRIZE Wrestling League (2018-2020) ===
Nick Logan was confirmed for the PRIZE Wrestling League roster in late-September, though he didn't make his debut until the 24th of October at a St. Helens live show, teaming with Lenroy Steede in a losing effort to Mikey Ace and Brent Blake. His full-programming debut would come two nights later, as he defeated Sergi Romero on the first episode of PRIZE Live. He would soon after main event the second episode of PRIZE Fights in a losing effort to Elite Champion Pete Hook, during which a Link & Sinker gone wrong would result in Logan hitting his head on the ringside, concussing him2.
He'd return in November, defeating Sidewinder on PRIZE Fights, then defeating Joe Smoke in his next match. This put him in the 3-Man Elite Division Contendership match at Walk the Talk 2018, defeating Brent Blake and Sidewinder by Sole Searching the latter. He'd then interfere in the main event, costing Hook his title against Chris Wayland, both as revenge against the former and a bizarre way of starting a feud with the latter. Though the feud wouldn't come to fruition due to PRIZE's short hiatus and the takeover by the Wrestling Council of Europe.3
After the takeover, Logan- who's contract hadn't been taken over- remained as a freelancer, with this working it's way into the storyline as he became "The Outlaw". He'd lose at Rise for the PRIZE 2019, to JMW invite Takanobu Endo, due to outside interference from a debuting Rob Kuipers- who he'd fought several times on dark shows for Wrestling upLOUD!.
Kuipers would continue to attack Logan over the next few weeks, referred to all the while as "WCE Security", in a storyline that never really seemed to get going. He'd finally get to face the security guard, finally named as Rob Belleg, in a Grudge Match at On The Line 2019, though he'd lose it. Logan wanted to end the feud here, but WCE disagreed, and had both men share shots and brawls over the next month before a Contract Ownership was won by Beleg at Up Front 2019.
After WCE confirmed they planned for him to feud with Beleg for another month, Logan "went home", preferring to sit out his pre-WCE contract and move on to better things. Unfortunately, said contract expired right in the middle of the COVID-19 lockdown, severely limiting his post-PRIZE options. However, he did appear in one IND-EEEE Wrestling match against Joey Walton in March 2021.
=== UNION Wrestling (2022-present) ===
In January 2022, Logan was- along with Piranha, Harry Daniels and The Trick- signed to a contract with UNION Wrestling as part of their men's division expansion.

== Trivia ==
* Growing up, Nicholas was a huge fan of Shawn Michaels, alluding to this in his choice of ring name and finishing move.4
== Behind-the-Scenes ==
# As Logan was an original 2K19 creation, much of his backstory is retroactive. However, he is merged with a real CAS of mine in the form of "Logic".
# The "concussion" came about after I noticed how bad the collision between his head and the apron looked in-game. At the time, I used a D&D like system of dice rolls to influence how things like injuries worked, so the concussion came to be.
# I didn't have him sign a new WCE contract because I wasn't sure I was going to utilise him properly given the strength of the roster elsewhere. I decided to work that into the narrative, and in turn have PRIZE work in into their narrative, in-narrative. Narratinception!
# His finisher was Sweet Chin Music on 2K19, initially, so the naming is a sort of in-joke, there.
