Jacob Striker

Jacob Alexander Striker (10/11/1998) is an American born professional wrestler who is currently signed to Pro Wrestling Nova, One Wrestling Movement, Wrestleworld, Strong Style Wrestling, South West Wrestling Syndicate, Omega Wrestling Alliance, and the World Wrestling Headquarters.

He has also worked for the Omega Wrestling Alliance, Omega Wrestling Tomorrow, Gamma Pro Wrestling, and New Frontiers Wrestling in the past.

He is known for his incredible in ring work despite his relative rookie status in professional wrestling, as he enjoys a good challenge more than anything.

## Early Years

Not much is known about Jake's early years and he doesn't like to talk about things of that nature other than he is the oldest of four children and that his father was the one who sparked his interest into professional wrestling and is a businessman specializing in international business.

Upon finishing high school, Jacob decided to try his fortunes away from his father's shadow and moved to the west coast to become a professional wrestler.

## Training

Jake moved in with his uncle while he trained at Peter Graves' "House of Glory" wrestling school and trained alongside the likes of David Gibson, Locke Helms, Sabin Richards, Zach and Jacob Hunter, Jericho Morton, and a few others. It was here that Eric Koenig and Jax Castle both noted that he was surprisingly tough and strong for a young man of his age and helped him to further his strength training.

Like many of the graduates of the school, he was offered a place in Graves' "Major League Wrestling" promotion but Jake turned it down as he wanted to further his training at which point Jake started to look for his next teacher and found not him...but ***\*HER\*..***by complete accident when he caught the episode of Empire where Stephanie Matsuda would announce the formation of the "Coven" sparked something in Jake's mind and he sought out the "Iconic War Queen" and he started his training all over again at Matsuda's "War Room" dojo and while at the War Room Dojo, Jake was trained alongside Serenity Scorpio, Jocelyn Sky, Brie Marie, Ryo Sakazaki, Robert Garcia, and Goro Daimon in Lucharesou by Stephanie Matsuda, Tiffany Santana, and the Wild Brothers-Billy and Jimmy.

## **Omega Wrestling Tomorrow:**

After completing his training at the "War Room", Jake was picked up by Naheem Board (on the possible suggestion of Matsuda) as one of the first wrestler for the new Omega Wrestling Tomorrow project and was given a spot on the the "Genesis" card in a six man tag team match that doubled as Jake's debut into professional wrestling as Jake would be teaming with Kyle and Corey Matthis, with Kyle's manager and girlfriend Karen Ramondetta at ringside, against El Gaucho, Zaxaria, and Levi Silvera, Jake's team won their match which made the newly minted wrestler's night even greater, he even helped to keep things straight during a match involving the enforcer of Udy in the form of the monstrous Fenris later in the show.

During this period of time he considered to be somewhat friends with Kyle and by extension, his girlfriend Karen, as he would often be covering Kyle's Taco Bill and it was here that Jake's friendship with former Super Japan Pro Wrestling junior heavyweight in the "Blackheart" Wil Pierce would begin that would eventually lead into the formation of their tag team, the Dark Circle.

However after a short time in operation, a number of talent was moved over to Nasmir Moore's new Gamma Pro Wrestling promotion with Jacob being one of them, thus keeping his undefeated streak in Omega Wrestling Tomorrow in check amusingly.

## **World Wrestling Headquarters & Trauma-Drama:**

It was around this time that Jacob was informed by an "unknown source" that Serenity Scorpio, a person that he was close to, was having problems with a wrestler by the name of Blake Anderson in a promotion known as World Wrestling Headquarters with Anderson simply showing her multiple levels of disrespect and generally being hateful towards the young woman.

Jake couldn't stand this and with the help of a "family friend", Jake was able to be quietly signed to World Wrestling Headquarters prior to their Shogun pay per view and made his unofficial debut on the go home show prior to the pay per view by being the masked attacker of Blake after he had a confrontation with Serenity and later in Tokyo Japan,

## Time with New Frontiers Wrestling:

Shortly after the second Omega Wrestling Tomorrow show, OWT went on a bit of a hiatus for reasons only known to the OWA front office and Jake soon found himself working the OWT/OWA house show circuit with Wil, eventually forming a tag team known as the "Dark Circle" and the two were picked up by New Frontiers Wrestling.

What happened in NFW is vastly confusing as the duo went on a six month loosing streak for no apparent reason with several internet analysts stating that the team was simply being used to get over other teams, a rather underhanded tactic once used by promotions such as Edward Brown's Superior Championship Wrestling (1996-2002), Erik Rameriz's Outlaw Championship Wrestling (2008-2010), and Col James E. Russo's Next Generation Wrestling Alliance (2005-2008) as prime examples.

Jake himself was thrown into a rather dismal angle with homebred NFW wrestlers Darius Crowley and Vanita Thompson which was apart of the unit's constant loosing. Needless to say that the constant losing did something to Jacob's mental state and made him much more sinister and harder in the ring.

However it was during this time that he did make friends with Lash Donohue, Arley Kirk, and at least became somewhat friendly with Super Tiger. He also became aware of Morgan Payne and the tag team Bloody Fairytale which he would later go on to suggest to President Chris Slayton for spots in Pro Wrestling Nova.

## Wrestling Style:

Jacob's wrestling style is considered to be a fusion of both Peter Grave's Ringkamphf-variant of European Catch wrestling and Stephanie Matsuda's Queen's Road Lucharesu mixed with elements of both Shidōkan Karate & Gaidojutsu which has helped him with his strength, agility, and endurance training. While he is known more of a very sound ground-based technical style, when he does start doing high flying moves-they are usually well measured and highly effective.

One of Jake's primary, somewhat favorite, and well known moves in his arsenal is his chops as he is known for being able to hit them with a amazing amount of force behind each and every chop, the sheer sound of his chops have been known to silence some fans as it sounds like a shotgun going off with each chop. On two separate occasions (Levi Silvera in OWT & Graham Baker in PWN) have been chopped by Jacob enough times that he actually caused them to bleed from the sheer force that he can strike with.

Unlike most people trained in the Lucharesu style, Jake tends to take his time and tries to outwrestle his opponent in a slow, methodical, and usually very brutal manner. Using his match against Jenni Drew for the One Wrestling Movement World Heavyweight title, Jake was shown to take his time and systematically destroyed Jenni's attempt at using her speed to her advantage and this match was also the first time that he ever used his infamous "Black Coffin" finish to wrap up the match as he almost drove Jenni's head through the mat.

## Personal Information

It is rumored that Jacob previously had a relationship, possibly a romantic one, with wrestling manager Elena de la Vega (of Brujah Nationale Lucha Libre and Frontier Wrestling Alliance fame) at some point in their mutual past before either one of them entered professional wrestling. At one point early in his career, he was starting to date his fellow NFW wrestler Katrina Cage of the Skillz Vendorz tag team, but something happened and Katrina simply dropped him for reasons known only to her which sent Jake on a semi-destructive spree until Serenity stopped him. Jacob was also known to have been dating at one point dated Natasha Holland but broke up due to Holland's "actions". He is currently engaged to fellow wrestler Serenity Scorpio.

He is known to have at least three siblings, two younger sisters and a younger brother, with the sister closest to him in age-Jessica-has had some training also under Stephanie Matusda at the War Room but has recently agreed to become one of the new "GOAT Farm" (formerly known as "Squires: Midway") students training under Jim Danielson and Warren Williams. He considers Stephanie Matsuda like "the cool older sister that he never had" and is he close friends with Jocelyn Sky and Serenity Scorpio but he is also childhood best friends with both fellow War Room trainees in Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia as well as fellow World Wrestling Headquarters wrestler Uiriamu Minami. Jacob is also the older brother of David Striker, currently signed to New Frontier Wrestling & Supreme Championship Wrestling.

Jacob (along with Ryo, Uiriamu, and Robert) are the creators of the "Behind The Mayhem" Youtube series which covers some of the more personal sides of the crew that isn't usually seen on regular wrestling television and includes an expanded cast of Jessica Striker, Mrs. Striker, Stephanie Matsuda, Serenity Scorpio, David Bennett, Lash Donohue, and many others.

Following his engagement to Serenity Scorpio & Stephanie Matsuda handing control of the War Room Dojo, once again the "Hunter's Mark Gym", back to his future wife, Jake has recently started to help train the next cadre of students at the school.
