Episode 76 of Best For Business, hosted by “Coach C” Chris Sanders, features Jake Logan, a standout talent who’s been immersed in wrestling since childhood. We kick things off with Jake’s story of growing up around the business, influenced by his father Jack Logan of Top of Texas Professional Wrestling, and what it was like to begin training at just 8 years old. By 17, Jake was already in the ring, wrestling his first match on his birthday against Cody Jones, setting the stage for a career built on hard work and opportunity.
Jake shares what he learned training under the legendary Dory Funk Jr., and reflects on the unique landscape of the Texas wrestling scene, as well as the personal inspiration behind the declaration, “I’m Jake Logan.” From there, we discuss his WWE tryout experience, his tag team run as The Absolute Rebels with Cody Jones, and the massive moment of capturing the NWA National Championship. Jake also reveals what makes the NWA stand out, his favorite matches, and story behind Nitsu Katamoto.
The conversation then dives into Jake’s more recent opportunities, including AEW Dark matches. Jake also talks about his time with Control Your Narrative, working closely with EC3, and what it meant to become the first official project of the movement. From there, we cover matches with legends like Matt Hardy, Matt Sydal, Tommy Dreamer, and Scott Steiner, each moment shaping his path forward.
We also take a look at Jake’s remarkable run as the UPWA Heavyweight Champion for over three years and his goals in wrestling.
