Mark Andrews is a Welsh professional wrestler currently signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) performing under the name Mandrews,[2] after spending several years appearing worldwide on the independent wrestling circuit.

Frequently portrayed as the plucky underdog, Andrews is best known for his magnetic, likeable personality, and for his high-flying, innovative moveset.[3]

Professional wrestling career

Independent circuit (2006–2015)

2006-2007: Training, debut and South Wales scene

Andrews started training at the age of 13, upon discovery of the NWA Wales training school in Newport. As well as training there under Edd Ferris, Andrews would travel to Kent three times a year to attend NWA UK Hammerlock's training camps, where he learned off the likes of John Ryan, Paul Tracey and Andre Baker.[4] It is here that he met Zack Sabre, Jr., who would go on to become Andrews’s mentor.

It was for NWA Wales that Andrews made his wrestling debut, appearing in a battle royal in 2006, in a show which also featured future TNA wrestler Magnus.

Shortly afterwards, Andrews began competing under a mask, using the name “The Lightning Kid”. He has stated that this was to hide his young age from audiences.[4] Andrews’ rise as The Lightning Kid was gradual, with most his appearances in 2006 and 2007 limited to promotions in South Wales,[5] whilst he accrued experience and continued training. Perhaps most notable in this period was an appearance at the 2007 Holbrooks Festival in Coventry, for Phoenix Wrestling Association.[6] Whilst not notable for the standard of wrestling (which is widely considered to be poor at PWA[7]), it was here that Andrews met Pete Dunne (at the time wrestling as "Tiger Kid"), who would go on to become his regular tag team partner and best friend in wrestling.[8]

2008: Becoming established in South Wales and training with Mike Bird

January 2008 saw Andrews make his first international appearance, when he was flown out to Madrid to compete for La Super Wrestling Alliance (SWA).[9] However, as with 2006 and 2007, Andrews’ appearances were largely limited to South Wales; particularly for a small local promotion named Celtic Wrestling, where Andrews triumphed in a Halloween Tournament held in Abertillery.[10] It was also around this time that Andrews began training under Mike Bird, at the Dragon Pro Wrestling Academy in Newport.[11]

2009: Branching out in the UK

In 2009, Andrews first began to gain exposure on Britain’s independent wrestling scene. As well as continuing to establish himself in South Wales, Andrews debuted in Scotland, making appearances for British Championship Wrestling and Premier British Wrestling; where he competed against fellow future TNA British Bootcamp finalist Noam Dar.[12] November 2009 also saw Andrews make his most notable appearance to date, wrestling for IPW:UK in Chatham, Kent, against his mentor and friend Zack Sabre Jr.[13]

2010: Touring, Triple X, and phasing-out “The Lightning Kid”

2010 was the year that set Andrews on the trajectory to becoming one of British wrestling’s best-known names. The year began with another match against Zack Sabre Jr,[14] this time at AMP Wrestling in Coventry. A more assured performance than match against Zack from two months previously demonstrated the rate at which Andrews was now developing as a performer; and the UK’s promoters gradually took notice. Touring promotion Welsh Wrestling also began to book Andrews on a regular basis, with The Lightning Kid vs Wild Boar becoming a showcase attraction at events across the country.[15]

It was also in 2010 that Andrews started to appear regularly for Coventry-based Triple X Wrestling. With a large internet following and a reputation for propelling little-known talent into the spotlight,[16] the exposure from TXW gave Andrews a significant platform to showcase his athleticism. Having debuted the previous year in a match billed as a “Skinny Boy Much Training Necessary s***! Match”, where The Lightning Kid competed for a spot on the roster against Helix, Omen (Damian Dunne), Tiger Kid (Pete Dunne), Tucker Starr (Ryan Smile) and Kid Glory, Andrews then returned for several other shows in 2010. Most notably, he appeared as part of a stable called “The NexXxus”, a parody of the “Nexus” faction in the WWE. Under the name “Mandrews Tarver”, Andrews joined fellow ‘rookies’ Wade Helix (Helix), Hitch Sheffield (Wild Boar), Phil Otunga (Phil Ward) and Gav Gabriel (Morgan Webster) as the group ambushed and attacked various members of the roster. Andrews’ time in the NexXxus is notable for being the only heel run of Andrews’s career.

Mid-2010 also saw Andrews making occasional appearances without the Lightning Kid mask, working under his own name. Whilst the mask remained at promotions where the character was established, other promotions gave Andrews the opportunity to explore performing without it. An entertaining triple-threat match against Helix and Andy Shoes at AMP Wrestling demonstrated Andrews’ natural charisma and warmth; and the mask was gradually phased out thereafter.[14]

2011: Recognition in Britwres, CHIKARA debut and ATTACK! formation

Andrews’ rise continued in 2011, with his appearance in the country’s lesser promotions (such as Celtic and PWA) being largely replaced with travels to the top wrestling organisations in Britain.[17] As well as making a number of appearances for 4 Front Wrestling (4FW) in Swindon,[18] Andrews debuted for the famed Insane Championship Wrestling in Glasgow,[19] and competed at Premier British Wrestling’s annual “King of Cruisers” six-way match in Irevine.[20]

Andrews also made two appearances for the newly reformed Frontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA), most notably in an encounter against long-time rival Wild Boar at Thorpe Park.[21] The match was later selected to be televised on Challenge TV, a national TV station in the UK.

This was also the most significant year of international appearance for Andrews to-date. The first half of the year yielded two European appearances, at SWA in Barcelona[22] and Catch Wrestling Norddeutschland in Pinneberg.[23] Then, in August, Andrews travelled to Pennsylvania, to make his debut for CHIKARA. Granted a place in the Young Lions Cup IX, Andrews’ first round match was a four-way eliminator, taking on Tadasuke, Nick Jackson and Sean South. Tadasuke won the match, last eliminating Andrews on the route to victory.[24]

Significantly, 2011 also saw the formation of ATTACK! Pro Wrestling, which Andrews would later go on to co-promote. Originally founded by Pete Dunne and Jim Lee,[8] ATTACK! became a “home” promotion to Andrews’ core group of friends in wrestling, including Pete, Wild Boar, Morgan Webster, Eddie Dennis and Mike Bird. Held in Birmingham, ATTACK’s debut weekender in August saw Andrews crowned the champion of the first annual Elder Stein invitational, defeating Eddie Dennis in the semi-final and Pete Dunne in the final.[25]

At the conclusion of the year, members of the UKFF (a British wrestling discussion board) voted Andrews the UK’s 26th best wrestler. It was the first time Andrews had appeared on the annual “Top 50” list, reflecting his most successful year to date.[23]

2012: More travels, promoting ATTACK!, PROGRESS debut

The start of 2012 is when Andrews became significantly more involved with ATTACK! Pro Wrestling. With Jim Lee stepping back from the promotion due to other commitments, Andrews took on the mantle of co-promoter, arranging the organisation’s first visit to Cardiff, Andrews’ hometown.[8] On February 11, ATTACK! presented “We Do It For The Money, Obviously” at Cathays Community Centre, an intimate venue close to where Andrews grew up. With the show headlined by Andrews vs Pete Dunne, the event sold out in advance of the day. ATTACK! would make two further trips to Cardiff that year, with each show selling out.[26]

Andrews’ other UK appearances included three returns to PBW,[27] two encounters with Ryan Smile at Wrestle Midlands,[28] and a return to ICW, where he suffered defeat at the hands of Falcon.[29] Triple X Wrestling also made its return from hiatus, booking Andrews to take on international star Jonathan Gresham.[30]

Significantly for Andrews, 2012 was the year that PROGRESS Wrestling was established in London. In a short time, PROGRESS became one of the UK’s leading independent wrestling promotions; with Andrews as one of the main stars. First appearing at “PROGRESS Chapter Two: The March Of Progress” in June, Andrews resumed his rivalry with Wild Boar, picking up the victory in front of a packed crowd at The Garage in Highbury. Andrews returned at “PROGRESS Chapter Three: Fifty Shades Of Pain”, defeating Xander Cooper, before then entering the National Progression Series tournament. In his first-round match at “PROGRESS Chapter Four: The Ballad Of El Ligero”, Andrews took on Will Osprey, securing a pinfall win with a springboard hurricanrana. Both men received a standing ovation from the PROGRESS fans after the match.[31]

2012 also saw the continuation of Andrews’ increasingly international status. As well as returning to Spain, Andrews visited Poland for the first time, travelling with Pete Dunne and Ryan Smile to make two appearances for Do Or Die Wrestling, in Rzeszów and Kolbuszowa respectively.[32] He also made his Italy debut, wrestling for Nu-Wrestling Evolution in Turin; being felled by The Lion Kid in a ladder match.[33]

Late on in the year, Andrews appeared in a short documentary called “Wrestling With Reality”, which revolved around the Dragon Pro Wrestling Academy. Created by students at the University of Glamorgan, the video won “Best Documentary” at Ffresh Film Festival and Cardiff Mini Film Festival.[34] In the documentary, Andrews credits Mike Bird as his most significant teacher in wrestling, and Bird admits of Andrews: “I think he’s the best in the country”.

2013: Breakthrough year on UK scene, Progress champion, USA tour

By 2013, Andrews had become fully established in British wrestling; active as one of the busiest wrestlers on the UK circuit, with appearances at IPW:UK, ICW, 4FW and more.[17] Alternative Wrestling World also booked Andrews in one of his biggest matches to date, against former WWE star Brian Kendrick in Wolverhampton.[35] Meanwhile, Andrews made three appearances for Revolution Pro Wrestling in Sittingbourne, reaching the final of the Extreme Measures 2013 Tournament, which was eventually won by Marty Scurll.[36]

Andrews also continued to appear for Triple X Wrestling, most notably against Zack Sabre, Jr. at “TXW XXXtravaganza” in April,[37] in a contest that was shortlisted for the “UK Match of the Year” award in the Fighting Spirit Magazine Reader Awards 2013.[38]

But it was largely Andrews’ work in PROGRESS Wrestling that elevated him to become one of the UK’s leading wrestlers. Having progressed in the Natural Progression Series tournament in 2012, Andrews’ semi-final match occurred in July 2013 at “PROGRESS Chapter Eight: The Big Boy’s Guide To Strong Style”. Defeating Jonathan Windsor set up a final against Paul Robinson at PROGRESS Chapter Ten, which Andrews won to claim the trophy – along with a guaranteed title shot. Andrews cashed in his shot that evening, defeating Rampage Brown to win the first significant championship of his wrestling career. However, the reign was short lived, as Jimmy Havoc cashed in another guaranteed title shot on the same evening, stealing the title after a series of chair shots, in front of a raucous crowd. The sequence is widely regarded as a standout moment in British wrestling in 2013.[39][40]

Andrews also continued in his role as co-promoter at ATTACK! Pro Wrestling, which held five shows in 2013 in Cardiff, Bristol and Dudley. Most notably, ATTACK! held a show in February titled “Press Start”, which involved a series of video game themed gimmicks. Andrews, dressed as Pikachu, defeated Damian Dunne, who was appearing as a member of Team Rocket. The show received wide plaudits, with coverage across a wide range of wrestling and gaming websites, and a highlight video originally accruing over 30,000 YouTube views (before it was removed and re-uploaded). The full show later became available to download via Smart Mark Video.

At ATTACK! Andrews also competed in a Beer Pong Table Match at “Stiffler’s House Party”, teaming with Jeff Cornell to defeat Wild Boar and Mike Bird. When the promotion introduced a 24:7 Championship on their festive-themed “Under The MistleTour”, Andrews pinned Damian Dunne to win the title at Cathays Community Centre,[41] only to himself be pinned the following day, with Danny Jones winning the title between shows at a motorway service station.[42]

The summer of 2013 saw Andrews engage on a tour of the USA with Pete Dunne, visiting a number of independent promotions in the east of the country. They faced off against one another at Absolute Intense Wrestling (AIW)’s “Gleaming The Cube” event in Cleveland, Ohio,[43] as well as teaming up on a number of occasions, billed as either “Team UK” or “Flips and Forearms”. In an addition to a return to AIW for the Double Dare Tag Team Tournament, the pair faced The Osirian Portal at Wrestling Is Cool in Deptford, New Jersey,[44] and the team of Jordan Lennox and ex-WWE star Paul London at International Wrestling Cartel’s “Retro Reunion” show in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania.[45]

2014: Omnipresence in the UK, more championships, CHIKARA King of Trios

By 2014, virtually all the top promotions in the country were booking Andrews. In addition to his continued work in Revolution Pro, Triple X and others, 2014 saw Andrews work a series of matches for Fight Club Pro, Infinite Promotions, New Generation Wrestling and more.[17] He also became a regular attraction for Southside Wrestling Entertainment in Nottinghamshire, where his opponents included Rich Swann, Tommy End, AR Fox, Roderick Strong and Chris Sabin.[46]

Likewise, Andrews started to make appearances for Preston City Wrestling, where he twice came up short in encounters for Bubblegum’s PCW Cruiserweight Championship; including in a three-way match that also included Austin Aries.[47] Perhaps most notably, Andrews' match against Kris Travis at “PCW SuperShow 4” received widespread acclaim, including being nominated for “UK Match of the Year” in the Fighting Spirit Magazine Reader Awards 2014; the second year running Andrews had been nominated for the honour.[48]

In London’s PROGRESS Wrestling, Andrews continued as a leading attraction, receiving a re-match for the Progress Championship at “PROGRESS Chapter 13: Unbelievable Jeff”. Held at the sold-out Electric Ballroom, 700 people witnessed Andrews take on Jimmy Havoc in a brutal ladder match, which Andrews ultimately lost after interference from Paul Robinson. Over the course of the year, Andrews also teamed with friend Eddie Dennis in PROGRESS, entering the PROGRESS Tag Team Title Tournament held at Chapters 11 and 12. The pair, known as FSU, won the tournament and were crowned as the promotion’s first-ever tag team champions. Eddie and Andrews defended the titles a further two times in 2014, leaving the year with their position intact. In the summer, Andrews also made appearances for PROGRESS Wrestling at Sonisphere Festival in Knebworth, performing in front of nearly 4,000 people across two nights on The Satellite Stage.[49]

In ATTACK! Pro Wrestling, Andrews continued heavy involvement in the creative direction of the organisation, which by this point had become renowned as Britain’s most unique wrestling spectacle.[50][51][52] May saw Andrews reprise his role as Pikachu, as ATTACK! presented the second instalment of their popular video game themed shows, “Press Start Level 2”. Taking on Arthur Klauser-Saxon (Tyler Bate), who was styled as Machoke, Andrews picked up the win to gain the hold of the 24:7 Championship for a second time. As with his first reign, he did not hold the title for long – with T-Bone winning the title almost immediately, styled as Bowser. At the following show, “The Weird And Wonderful World Of ATTACK! Pro Wrestling”, Andrews again regained the title, defeating current holders Sam Bailey and Zack Gibson in a soccer-themed tag team match, alongside Pete Dunne. For a third time, Andrews lost the title almost as quickly as he had won it, with Lana Austin & Nixon Newell striking the same evening to take the belt.[53]

Andrews also made another short trip to the US independents in 2014, travelling with Pete Dunne and Damian Dunne to appear in CHIKARA’s yearly King of Trios tournament as “Team UK” in Easton, Pennsylvania. The team defeated The Bloc Party in the first round, advancing to the quarter finals, where they were then felled by The Devastation Corporation. On the third night of the tournament, Andrews appeared in singles action, defeating Oliver Grimsly.[54] His American trip also included a dark match appearance at DREAMWAVE’s “Good As Gold” event in LaSalle, Illinois.[55] In addition to the USA trip, Andrews also made his debut for Germany’s award-winning Westside Xtreme Wrestling. Appearing on the Mülheim leg of the “wXw Drive Of Champions Tour”, Andrews teamed with Pete Dunne and Chris Brookes, losing out to Big Daddy Walter, Axel Dieter Jr. and Da Mack.[56]

Andrews’ most successful year to-date earned him three nominations at the Fighting Spirit Magazine Reader Awards 2014, where he was shortlisted for “Best UK Wrestler” and “Best UK Tag Team” (with Eddie Dennis), alongside his “UK Match of the Year” nomination for his PCW encounter against Kris Travis. Meanwhile, the online message board UKFF voted Andrews the 3rd best wrestler in the UK, with a series of complimentary comments, including: “Mark's the poster boy of the resurgence British wrestling is seeing at the moment. Talented, likeable, and genuinely cool."[57]

2015: Farewell to the UK independents

After signing a contract with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, it was confirmed that Andrews would be moving stateside and, seemingly, leaving the British independent circuit behind.

It was announced that Andrews’ “home” promotion, ATTACK! Pro Wrestling, would be hosting a farewell show on January 24, 2015. Titled “Mandrews Goes To America”, the show is to be held at Cathays Community Centre in Cardiff, a small venue just minutes from where Andrews grew up. Headlined by the promise of Andrews vs his long-time friend Pete Dunne, tickets for the show sold out in just 12 minutes.[58]

His time at PROGRESS Wrestling also looks set to come to an end, with Andrews scheduled to face off against his partner and fellow tag team champion Eddie Dennis on January 25, with the winner taking both championships and the opportunity to select a new partner.[59]

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2014–present)

Andrews competed in a dark match against DJ Z in a losing effort on September 7, 2014 during a Impact Wrestling taping from Fayetteville, North Carolina.[60] In October 2014 Andrews participated in TNA's British Boot Camp. After making it into the finals of the competition and ultimately winning, he earned himself a Total Nonstop Action contract.[61]

Mark made his Impact Wrestling television debut on the January 23rd, 2015 episode during a brawl that involved Ethan Carter III and Jeremy Borash, where he jumped from the crowd to help Jeremy and Rockstar Spud push away Ethan and his bodyguard Tyrus. Mark made his in-ring debut a week later under his Mandrews nickname, teaming up with Spud to defeat The Bromans (Robbie E and Jessie Godderz).

DEFEND Indy Wrestling

Andrews is the co-founder of “DEFEND Indy Wrestling”, a clothing brand for independent wrestling fans. Inspired by the "DEFEND Pop Punk" message propagated by American band Man Overboard, Andrews created the brand in 2011 with fellow British wrestlers Pete Dunne and Eddie Dennis, producing t-shirts, hoodies and other accessories.[8]

The brand is built on a philosophy of positivity, reflecting the outlook on life and wrestling followed by Andrews, Dunne and Dennis. The DEFEND website states: “Indy wrestling is a massive part of our lives and it’s something that we love, but there’s a lot of negativity surrounding it due of bad attitudes, ignorance and politics. We started this as it is something like minded people can get behind and support to try and make the scene a little more positive.”[62]

Their clothing has been worn by a host of wrestling stars, including AJ Styles,[63] Kevin Owens (Kevin Steen),[64] Ricochet,[65] The Young Bucks,[66] Brian Kendrick,[67] Doug Williams,[68] Kenny Omega[69] and a large number of UK wrestlers such as Kris Travis and Marty Scurll.

Personal life

Outside of Professional Wrestling, Andrews plays in a pop-punk band called 'Junior' where he is a vocalist and bassist.[70] Andrews’ personal music taste is diverse. Whilst being actively involved in pop-punk, he is also known to be a fan of Hanson, and has been to see the band play live three times.

After studying GCSEs and A Levels at Cardiff High School, Andrews attended the University of Glamorgan.[71] In the documentary “Wrestling with Reality”, Andrews admitted that he would regularly miss lectures due to the travelling demands of wrestling; however, he graduated in 2013 with a degree in Creative Technology.

Andrews is expected to marry lover Rhion Williams at some stage in the future, though further details are unknown.
