Mark Woodbridge

Mark Woodbridge (born December 21, 1979) is an American retired professional wrestler and current color commentator for Wrestling is Reddit. His official job title in WiR is Director of Beer and Liquor, being in charge of all 21+/18+ beverages at events.

Character Description
Woodbridge is a lovable redneck who loves shooting the shit, drinking, violence, and screaming like a little girl during big spots. He gets along with play-by-play commentator Allen Paisner extremely well, is usually a technico, and he thinks for himself. He knows the ins and outs of wrestling because he was a wrestler before commentating for WiR.

Early Life
Woodbridge was born and raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Little is known about his life before wrestling, but he has said he had a good childhood.

Professional Wrestling Career
Woodbridge began his pro wrestling career in 2002, mostly working independents around Georgia and the southern United States.

In 2010, he was signed to World Wrestling Xistence (WWX). He won their Television Title on February 1, 2011 and defended it weekly (per the stipulation of the TV Title) until losing on June 1 to Zander Cross. Woodbridge was the 69th Television Champion.

It was in WWX where Woodbridge met John Hall and became good friends. Woodbridge has said they bonded over having similar styles and thoughts on wrestling. Together they arranged and booked a deathmatch tournament for WWX.

A few months after losing the TV Title, Woodbridge decided to retire from wrestling.

WiR Career
Woodbridge was one of the first employees hired by WiR. He made his debut as color commentator on the debut show, and has remained in that position ever since.

Personal Life
Woodbridge has lived in Stone Mountain for his entire life. He married a childhood friend at the age of 24, and divorced 6 years later in 2010.

Woodbridge was a heavy drinker and smoker for most of his life, until 2008 when he quit both cold turkey. He resumed drinking at some point before WiR began in 2014, but remains cigarette-free. He has said he no longer has a drinking problem because he's "got it all figured out."
