[edit] Career

Mark Sloan started training to become a wrestler in 1990, and made his debut 5 years later on September 19, 1995.

In 1999, whilst working at Ross Records, Mark Sloan founded the Fratton Wrestling Alliance, the company which would go on to become the Frontier Wrestling Alliance of today. Sloan was the first ever holder of its FWA British Heavyweight Championship, defeating Paul Glory in a tournament on July 11, 1999, before losing the title to Alex Shane on February 27, 2000.

Sloan has also held the FWA All England Championship before, defeating former tag team partner Paul Travell on September 1, 2001 before losing the title to Zebra Kid a few months later.

Sloan would become the head trainer of FWA's main training school. While in the FWA Academy which is located in Sloan's hometown of Portsmouth, Sloan would trained many future FWA wrestlers, such as James Tighe, Luke Horner, The Enigma, Raj Ghosh, Andy Boy Simmonz and Paul Burchill (who would go on to wrestle in World Wrestling Entertainment).

Sloan would go on to lead the EntouRAGE, a faction consisting of FWA Academy students working as heels during FWA main shows while acting as babyfaces during FWA:A shows. The EntouRAGE has consisted of Sloan, Ollie Burns, Alan Gallagher, Graham Hughes, Matt Campbell, Tyrone Johnson, Ant Lacayo and Wade Fitzgerald. While part of the EntouRAGE Sloan and Burns would often work as a tag team and soon became the first holders of FWA:A's tag team titles after defeating Dan James and Harry Mills in a tournament final to become first ever champions on November 25, 2005.

They would hold the tag titles for a year before losing them to Joel Redman and then FWA:A Champion LT Summers in a Round Robin tournament, just weeks before the training facilities eventual closed in early 2007.

Currently, Sloan wrestles alongside Wade Fitzgerald as the tag team BritRAGE, as well as making singles appearances for IPW:UK.
