Mark Woolery

Marques D. Woolery Jr. (better known as his ring name Mark Woolery) is a created wrestler currently signed to Nightmare Championship Wrestling (NCW) and Reveloutinary Pro Wrestling (RPW). He is best known for his time in Total Xtreme Wrestling (TXW). His younger brother is Jon Woolery, who is an independant wrestler.

Live Championship Wrestling (2008)
Woolery was offered to join TXW as a wrestler and he accepted. He was put in LCW, TXW's developmental league, to see if he could make it to TXW Sacrifice. His first match in LCW was against Ryan Davis (a match he lost). During a few house shows in LCW, Woolery started getting cocky as he began to belittle the other TXW superstars (one being Kevin Da Kid, a huge fan favorite), turning him into a heel. After a few shows, LCW was cancelled and Woolery was moved up to TXW. His debut match attire was a little strange: a red t-shirt, blue half jeans, black sneakers, and black fingerless gloves. Commentators Darnell Jackson and Nathan Scott would make jokes about him and his attire, but still respected his in-ring talent.

Season 2
Woolery's debut on TXW Sacrifice was on episode 18. He changes his look twice in this season since his LCW debut (the first time as a high-rolling cocky heel and the second time as his current John Cena inspired look) and had also changed his finisher quite a few times as well, his current finisher being the F-Off. He went against another debuting superstar, Adam Rishe, and beat him via tap-out which gave him his first win recorded since he had came to TXW. Mark Woolery is mostly noticed for his feud against "The N-Forcer" Smash in this season. Although the feud officially began at Back Into Your System 09, when Woolery faced (and beat) Smash for the International Championship, Woolery's first title match with Smash was a month earliar at All Caged Up 09 (a match he lost). Woolery's title reign was short lived, however, as Smash reclaimed it the next week and sucessfully defended it at Blood Money.

Other memorable Mark Woolery moments in this season include his TXW Money In The Bank match at Final Testimony II against Derek Draim (the winner) and Souless and his one-on-one match with Souless (a match Woolery won). After Final Testimony II (the season finale for season 2), Woolery sent this to all of the fans of him and TXW: ''"Hey I just wanted to thank all the TXW and Woolery fans who love what I do because I don't﻿ just do it for me out there...see you all at TXW Season 3...oh and Final Testamony III!" - Mark Woolery''

Season 3
Season 3 of TXW didn't see much of Mark Woolery due to two injuries he sustained early in the season (the second injury putting him out of action for a long time). However, he did have some matches worth mentioning.

One major highlight of the season involving Mark Woolery was his reignited feud with Smash. After winning his first ever main event match on Sacrifice against TXW veteran "The Warmachine" Krush and gaining a spot in the TXW World Heavyweight Championship match set to take place at that year's Ultimatum PPV, Smash rushed to the ring and attack Woolery while his back was turned. It was confirmed that Smash was his opponent and that the match would be an Ironman match. At the PPV, the Ironman match would end with a score of 1-1, causing TXW officials to order a sudden death match for a clear winner. Woolery would lose the match after having his F-Off countered and submitting to the Smash's House of Pain. This match was the cause of his first injury.

Another highlight was his triple threat Hell in a Cell match against then-International Champion Souless and that year's Money In The Bank case holder Jack "The Immortal" Strider. After returning from his injury on the second episode of TXW's new show Animosity and being named the #1 contender for Souless' International Championship, the two were set to have a preview match later that night on the show's main event. However, before the match could start, the GM announced that MITB holder Jack Strider will cash his briefcase in for the International Championship at the company's next PPV Death Sentence and that the preview match would now be a triple threat involving Jack Strider. Woolery would be pinned that night by Strider and the two were set to have a one on one match on the next episode of Animosity. Woolery would pull an upset victory over the TXW veteran in their match before Death Sentence. Woolery, Souless and Strider would finally face off for the International Championship in a Hell in a Cell match at Death Sentence where, in a similar fashion to their preview match two weeks prior, Woolery would get pinned by Strider. This match would give Woolery his second injury. By the time he was ready to wrestle again, TXW had already closed it's doors.

Free Agent (2013-2015)
Starting in 2013, Mark Woolery became a free agent, wrestling at different house shows and making special appearances in Japan (sometimes with his brother Jon) all while actively searching for a league.

Nightmare Championship Wrestling (2015- )
On episode 21 of Nightmare Championship Wrestling's Next Big Thing show, Mark Woolery was spotted in the front row sporting a Total Xtreme Wrestling jersey as a fan. He would return the following week on the company's 22nd episode of Mayhem, once again in the front row, and had the opening TXW alumni battle royale dedicated to him by former TXW alumni and NCW founder "The Beast" Cody Forte.

No longer content with just being a spectator, Woolery made his surprise NCW debut at their Eliminatio 2015 click-per-view as the final entrant of the Eliminatio tournament's second round for his chance at being the #1 contender for the NCW World Championship. He proceeded to eliminate the other five superstars single-handedly (including fellow TXW alumni Ca$h, Chase Daniels, Kevin Da Kid and Robin Storm) to move on to round three. Woolery would make it to the final three of the round before being eliminated by the returning Krush, a past opponent of Woolery's.

Woolery made his NCW Mayhem debut on episode 25 in a TXW battle royale match against Derek Draim, Josh Phoenix and Joe Jacobson (formerly known as Calypso). Woolery was the last man eliminated after Jacobson countered Woolery's waist lock and hit him with a CalypsOut for the pinfall victory. At NCW Oblivion 2015 (NCW's flagship show and their 2015 season finale), Woolery was entered in the 40-man pre-show battle royale at #35 and went on to win the whole thing by eliminating Skull King.

2016 Season and feud with Ryan McCartney
Woolery's first match of the 2016 season would be in NCW's Hall of Fame 2016 show in a fatal 4 way ladder match against Alex McNab, Devin KONSTANTINE (wrestling under his Devin Surefire name) and his TXW Final Testimony II opponent Derek Draim. Alex McNab would go on to win the match after making sure that Woolery and the others were outside the ring. This match would signify all four men's induction into the NCW CAW Hall of Fame. On episode 27 of Mayhem (recorded before the merger ended and the HoF show), Woolery took on "Grim" Sean Samuels in a winning effort after the third F-Off. While this win made him the #1 contender for the retiring Chris Lethal's New Generation title, Lethal instead handpicked newcomer Ryan McCartney for his final match. Woolery didn't take this well and claimed Lethal was ducking him while McCartney himself claimed Woolery was bumped because he was old news and didn't have what it took anymore, kicking off the two's rivalry.

On episode 28 of Mayhem, Woolery took on NCW's World Champion Cody Forte in a non-title match. After many reversals, kick-outs and high spots throughout the entire 25 minute match-up, Woolery would finally be put away by Forte's "Mark of the Beast" spear. Woolery himself has stated that both he and Forte agreed it was one of the best matches of their careers and that it was the first time Woolery chose his own match as "Match of the Night." Woolery's next significant appearance was at Showcase #5, where it was announced that Woolery will take on Ryan McCartney (who won his match against Lethal) for McCartney's New Gen title.

Woolery and McCartney would have their match at the co-main event of NCW's One Night Stand CPV in an Extreme Rules match. Still upset by Lethal brushing him off and McCartney's insults, a more vicious side of Woolery was shown this night as he would attack McCartney with any weapon that wound up in his hands (including many tables). However, his first attempt to win gold in NCW came up short as he was hit with the Capture-Plex and pinned for the three count. The two would have a rematch on NCW Aftermath (One Night Stand's post-show), but was once again beaten by McCartney.

On episode 42 of Mayhem, Woolery faced McCartney and David Newcomb in the main event in a triple threat ladder match to see who would qualify for the Money in the Bank match at the Steps to Glory CPV. Newcomb would go on to win the match after Woolery and McCartney ignored him to focus on each other, showing that the two still had animosity towards each other.

Woolery was given another chance at the New Generation title on episode 45 of Voltage in an extreme rules main event. After a hard fought match with many weapons used against each other, Woolery would surprise McCartney with a catch F-Off to get the pinfall victory and win his first title in NCW. Shortly after, Woolery belittled McCartney for underestimating him this entire time and declared he was ready for a rematch at any time. On the next episode of Voltage, Woolery was pitted against NCW World Champion Jason Defiance in a special "champion vs. champion" main event. Woolery, who had been vocal about his disgust with Defiance's recent manipulation and betrayals to get into the World title picture in the first place, won the match after hitting several F-Offs, proving to fans that you can still get somewhere in the CAW business through good ol' fashioned hard work.

On NCW First Rung (a special show that pitted the Steps 2 Glory 2016 competitors in ladder matches), Woolery and McCartney had a non-title match with McCartney pulling down the briefcase to win the match. However, in their ladder match at the actual Steps 2 Glory 2016 CPV, Woolery would retain his New Gen title after hitting the F-Off on McCartney, which kept the latter down long enough for Woolery to pull the belt down.

Woolery and McCartney would go at it one more time at NCW's Haunted Houseshow CPV in a steel cage match. The match was announced as their "last encounter" with both men having to go their separate ways afterward no matter the outcome. The end of the match saw Woolery trying to catch an escaping McCartney, but failing to get the challenger in time, costing him his New Generation title.

Reveloutinary Pro Wrestling (2016- )
Nightmare Championship Wrestling and Reveloutionary Pro Wrestling (then called Authentic Championship Wrestling) merged together and the rosters from both companies would join the new Authentic CAW Championship Wrestling. However, the merger didn't last long as NCW would break off and start their 2016 season by themselves. While it is confirmed that Woolery will still be wrestling in RPW (as well as the returning NCW), he has yet to make his debut.
