Jake has no specific gimmick, other than being respected by the fans for his technical wrestling skills and ability to overcome the odds. However, upon his return to OWA after a lengthy hiatus, he is neutral in his alignment. If a fan wants to offer his hand, then he'll slap it. If not, then he’ll respect that too.

Motivations
For close to a decade, Jake was a well known babyface on the indy scene. Over those years he had honed his technical wrestling ability down to an art form, and he enjoyed the respect of both the fans and his peers across many wrestling companies. However, after the death of his wife from a car accident in 2010, Jake’s life went into free fall. Turning away from wrestling, he became addicted to alcohol and dependent on a variety of pain killers to help numb the pain.
Now, nine years later, Jake has been given a second chance, and is returning to the business to help him get his life back on track.
However, his time in OWA was short lived. Despite some high profile feuds and a shot at the odd title, a fiery temper and a short fuse eventually got the better of him. Jake then faded back into obscurity and left the life of a wrestler behind him, potentially to be never seen again. Until now. Apart from his brother being part of OWA, his motivations for another return are unknown.
