Jake Crist, aptly dubbed the “fire starter,” embodies his nickname with an electrifying presence in the ring, setting ablaze audiences with his explosive offense and innovative maneuvers. With each bout, Crist ignites arenas, leaving fans in awe of his dizzying array of moves that light up his opponents with relentless innovative moves and intensity.
In early 2024, Crist made his debut in Major League Wrestling with a statement, confronting his former ally Sami Callihan. Holding his oVe brethren accountable for Callihan’s allegiance to the Calling and their brutal assault on AKIRA, Crist drew a line in the sand, refusing to tolerate the twisted path that Callihan had chosen. Determined to break free from the shadows of his past, Crist embarked on a journey of self-reinvention, symbolized by his transition from the gritty realm of deathmatches to the adrenaline-fueled world of aerial combat.
Now, as Crist sets his sights on establishing his presence in MLW’s middleweight division, he brings with him a renewed sense of purpose and a hunger for success. With his arsenal of high-flying techniques and a burning desire to prove himself in this new chapter of his career, Crist is poised to make an indelible mark in MLW.
