A former WWE star and one of the last remaining WCW mainstays still active in the ring seems to be hoping on a comeback to the a US wrestling company. Although Mark Jindrak isn’t a household name in wrestling, he is very well known among diehards.
The now-47-year-old made his in-ring debut way back in October 1999, losing to Chuck Palumbo on WCW Saturday Night, before becoming a mainstay on in the company as part of the Natural Born Thriller tag team.
He won championship gold alongside the late Sean O’Haire on several occasions, before making his final appearance for the company in a quick defeat against the legendary Goldberg on WCW Thunder in December 2000.

It would be another seven months before he’d debut on television in WWE, as part of a 20-man tag team battle as part of Team WCW, alongside Chris Kanyon, Chuck Palumbo, Sean O’Haire and Shawn Stasiak.
He then became a WWE regular until June 2005, being released shortly after a losing a series of non-televised matches to the likes of Rene Dupree, Matt Morgan and Carlito.
And while most had thought Jindrak had sailed off into the sunset, he had actually been forging a stellar career for himself across the world, mainly featuring in Mexico for top promotions AAA, CMLL and Robles.

Having held gold as Marco Corleone – including the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship for a whopping 442 days – it appears as though Jindrak is looking to return to the United States having posted a selfie on social media which has taken many by surprise.
A leaner and heavily muscled Jindrak posted a topless image with the caption: “Mark ‘Benjamin Button’ Jindrak . I’ve been watching Heels on Netflix and I’m inspired to try and wrestle back in USA again.” He also tagged both WWE and AEW in the post.

The image has got fans reminiscing, and begging for his return, as one wrote: “Legend! Jindrak & O’Haire was that tag team to look out for back when I started watching! Shame he’s not still with us!”
And a second wrote: “Remember your WCW days, hell, I had no access to WWF Program back in the day, man, it was fun to watch you guys break into the business.”
A third added: “Brother you’re in better shape than ever. Go get em pal.”
Others also tagged in WWE, TNA and All Elite Wrestling calling for either company to give him a chance. Time will tell, but it appears as though Jindrak could be back in a major company soon enough.
