The Journey

Mark Andrews in PROGRESS Wrestling

Since debuting at Chapter Two in 2012, Mark Andrews has grown from skateboard-carrying up-start to one of PROGRESS Wrestling’s defining figures. The Cardiff native pairs fearless aerials with under-dog resilience, forging a bond with crowds whether he’s wrestling in Camden’s Electric Ballroom, Wembley Arena or on PROGRESS’ trans-atlantic tours.

Key achievements

  • Natural Progression Series winner (2013) – the victory that launched him into the title picture.

  • PROGRESS Champion – a blink-and-you-miss-it reign at Chapter Ten that remains a legendary shock moment.

  • PROGRESS Tag Team Champion – inaugural reign with Eddie Dennis as FSU, crowned at Chapter Twelve.

  • Thunderbastard winner (Chapter 43, 2017) – out-lasting seven rivals to earn a guaranteed title shot.

  • Super Strong Style 16 finalist (2016) – four gruelling matches in one weekend, falling only to Tommy End.

  • Lead vocalist of two distinct tandems – the cult-favourite FSU and, more recently, the high-octane Subculture with Flash Morgan Webster, keeping him central to the modern tag division.

Notable PROGRESS matches

  • Ladder Match vs Jimmy Havoc – Chapter 13 (2014): a 25-minute war that epitomised the Havoc era.

  • Thunderbastard triumph – Chapter 43 (2017): sealing victory with a Shooting Star Press.

  • World Title classics vs Pete Dunne – Chapters 46 & 48 (2017): technical excellence and raw emotion.

  • Collision with WALTER – Coast-to-Coast Tour, Livonia (2018): speed versus unstoppable force.

  • Unified World Title challenge vs Cara Noir – Chapter 103 (2020): art-house storytelling meets high-flyer heart.

  • FSU vs The Origin (No DQ Tag Title bout) – Chapter 28 (2016): tables, chairs and riotous brawling.

  • Subculture vs Smokin’ Aces – Chapter 173 (2024): modern tag sprint showcasing Andrews’ veteran savvy.

  • Subculture vs Young Guns – Chapter 176 (2025): latest chapter in an ever-evolving tag legacy.

From dethroning Rampage Brown in under two minutes to sharing rings with today’s elite (Ilja Dragunov, Zack Sabre Jr., Matt Riddle), Andrews continually refreshes his craft. Whether front-flipping off balconies or leading the crowd in pop-punk sing-alongs, he embodies PROGRESS’ do-it-your-way ethos—and, thirteen years on, still feels like the beating heart of every Chapter.
