Jacob Mephisto

Jacob Mephisto hails from the small town of Nazareth, Pennsylvania. He comes from humble beginnings and his life was shaped by a no nonsense, demanding, alcoholic father, a passive aggressive mother, and a sister who was treated like the golden child. His late-teenage years are a mystery, except that he trained in Mexico under Gabriel Knight, a former multi-time champion around the globe. At some point, he also trained in Japan under legendary championship puro wrestler Red Tiger.

Jacob made his name in the SHOOT Project’s second Sin City Championship Series. As the only competitor in the Series to go undefeated. The Sin City Championship defined most of Mephisto’s career in The SHOOT Project. Mephisto also wrestled briefly in Orion Pro Wrestling as well as the briefly resurrected EWA, where he became the EWA Network Champion. He also teamed with Sean Boden as PARIAH for a time in the EWA. Upon his return to the SHOOT Project in 2020, Mephisto has set his sights on SHOOT Project Legend Azraith DeMitri. During their war of escalation at Redemption 2020, Mephisto defeated Azraith. But, this war is far from over…
