Career
Sloan is best known for his work with the Frontier Wrestling Alliance due to founding the promotion and being head trainer in the company"s training academy, FWA Academy. 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 now defunct 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 would become the head trainer of FWA"s main training school. 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.
Mark Sloan closed the FWA:A shortly afterwards, as he was unhappy at the poor attitude of new students as well as students leaving FWA:A after a few weeks/months and telling wrestling promoters that they had been trained by him in order to get work.
He continues to train a small group of no more than 8 students who he feels are sufficiently dedicated to forging a career in professional wrestling. Currently, Sloan wrestles alongside Wade Fitzgerald as the tag team BritRAGE, as well as making singles appearances for IPW:United Kingdom. Additionally, he sells wrestling/Mobile Marketing Association merchandise, fitness supplements and print services under the business name A-Merchandise. He also promoted Pro Wrestling Noah"s debut in the United Kingdom at the Coventry Skydome, European Navigation 2008, in June 2008 and 4 shows of Dragon Gate in 2009 & 2010.
Sloan also ran two hugely successful Pro Wrestling NOAH shows on May 13/May 14 in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire and Wolverhampton which included two GHC Heavyweight Championship title defences.
