Jake Parnell is an American indie professional wrestler better known by the ring name Warhorse. He is the current IWTV champion and has performed in various independent wrestling promotions across the United States and internationally. He is well-known in the industry for a gruesome in-ring injury which occurred when a turnbuckle ripped out of his mouth, tearing his cheek open.[3][4]

Professional wrestling career

Early career (2013-2019)

He made his professional wrestling debut as Jake Parnell in March 2013. One of his first matches was in Illinois with Dynamo Pro Wrestling against Alexandre Rudolph on March 5, 2013. That same month Parnell participated in a Triple Threat match against Dave Vaughn and Brandon Gallagher.[5]

Parnell was originally a member of the Viking War Party, a group of Viking wrestlers composed of Alexandre Rudolph and Frank Wyatt. The team was active from Parnell's debut in 2013 to 2016 where Parnell was known as The Little Viking.[6]

Independent circuit (2019-present)

In 2019, Parnell, inspired by his love of heavy metal music and 1980s wrestling icons like The Road Warriors and Sting, reinvented himself as Warhorse, a very metal misfit with face paint that likes to headbang, yell, and "Rule Ass".[7][8]

On September 21, 2019 WARHORSE was crowned the IWTV (Independent Wrestling.tv) Champion after defeating Erick Stevens. WARHORSE is the active title holder as of July 2020.[9]

All Elite Wrestling (2020)

On July 29, 2020, Warhorse made his debut for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on AEW Dynamite where he challenged Cody for the TNT Championship in a losing effort.[10]
