= History =

Championship Wrestling Federation
Mark made his wrestling debut in 2003, in the Championship Wrestling Federation (CWF), as a member of the Dude Love inspired hippy face tag team, The Hunk-a-Delics, with Paul Hope. He stayed there for about a year. While there he didn't have much success, losing most of his matches. The Hunk-a-Delics never won a tag title and were relegated to jobbers for most of there time in the CWF.

In Mark's last match with the company he turned on his partner during there first ever Tag Title match, signaling Mark's heels turn.

Mark returned to the CWF breifly but only stayed for a couple of matches before leaving for the Indys.

Various Indys
For a few months Mark traveled around north America wrestling in various indy feds. There he wrestled as Comrade (masked) and 'Comrade' Mark Faith. During this period Mark began to win more matches and this gave him one huge ego. After the indys he headed for Japan.

Japan
Mark Wrestled in Japan for a short period of time. He wrestled under a red, black and silver mask as FAITH. There he learned a more stiff style of wrestling, you can see this influence in some of his more recent matches. Stiff chops and kicks, various submissions, Mark improved vastly while in Japan.

The Dead Period
For Two years Mark Faith faded out of the wrestling world, he wrestled now and then, but no-one but Mark knows for sure what exactly he was doing. Reports vary, some say he went back to Japan, some say he went to Mexico, the only way we will know for sure, is when Mark breaks his silence. When that will be is anyones guess.

In Ring Attire
Black long tights with designs on them the designs vary in colour, sometimes they are red, sometimes yellow, other colours include blue, green, purple, and white, he has a black elbow pad on his left arm, black MMA gloves with white wrist tape underneath them, black knee pads, black wrestling boots with kickpads over them, the kickpads very in colour depending on the colours of the patterns on his tights, he has his fingernails painted black.

Entrance
Fixation on the Darkness by Killswitch Engage blares over the speaker system, the crows erupts in a mixture of boos and cheers, but you can tell that most of the arena is booing and the cheers are coming from the hardcore smarks and they are in the minority. The camera pans around the arena showing the crowd and then quickly focuses onto the entrance way. As the words kick in Mark Faith walks out from behind the curtain with a cocky grin on his face. As he walks down the isle to a chorus of boos he looks as if he is hearing a different crowd to everyone else. He jumps up onto the apron knee first and then stands up, and climbs into the ring. Once in there, he puts his arms out to the sides and slowly turns around, basking in the crowd. He walks over to the corner and leans there ready for the match to begin.
