Marky Mark is a Canadian professional wrestler, currently wrestling on the Canadian independent circuit. He mainly wrestles for Stampede Wrestling and the Prairie Wrestling Alliance.
Much like how his name is taken from the 1990s rap group Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, his gimmick is that of an Eminem-influenced white rapper (similar to WWE wrestler John Cena) whose moveset is emulated from Owen Hart. His real personality is not far from his gimmick, as he has admitted to watching Eminem's movie 8 Mile several times.
Mark was allied with Pheonix Taylor in a tag team called The Funky Bunch. In early 2006, Taylor turned on Mark leading to a series of matches between the two. The finale of the fued was a Money In The Bank TLC Match, in which Phoenix Taylor won by retrieving the PWA Title Contract hanging above the ring, after interference by PWA Superstar, "Hollywood" Dusty Adonis. Mark and Phoenix have since resolved their issues, but are yet to reform The Funky Bunch.
Marky Mark once wore a t-shirt adorned with wrestling author Scott Keith's picture at a Prairie Wrestling Alliance event Keith attended in 2003 at the urging of The Scotsman, an internet writer who is friends with Mark. Marky Mark also wrote a few articles on Scotsman's popular Scotsmanality website about his experiences as a wrestler, and answered questions from the site's forum members.
