Professional wrestling career

Early career

Marshall was trained at the Monster Factory before making his debut in 2004.

Ring of Honor (2012-2016;2017-present)

After sporadic appearances for Ring of Honor, Marshall gained an ROH contract by defeating Matt Taven, Antonio Thomas, and Vinny Marseglia in a Four Corner Survival Match at Boiling Point 2012.[2] Marshall was often paired with R.D. Evans as his manager or tag team partner as a comedy duo known as Marshall Law. Marshall made his last regular appearance for ROH in 2016, teaming with Punisher Martinez to defeat Leon St. Giovanni and Shaheem Ali in a dark match.

Marshall returned to ROH at the July 29 TV tapings joining Ian Riccaboni and Colt Cabana on commentary during a match between Shane Taylor and Josh Woods. After the bout, Taylor attacked Woods at the behest of Marshall, who was revealed to be paying Taylor to do so.[3] At the August 26 TV tapings which aired in syndication over the weekend of September 23-24, Woods obtained his revenge by defeating Marshall in a regular match via submission to an ankle bar.[4] Marshall reappeared at the February 10, 2018 TV tapings, which broadcast on the weekend of March 10, at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia, participating in a Battle Royal qualifier for an opportunity at the ROH World Television Championship, during which he would accidentally strike Taylor, by whom he would then be promptly eliminated.[5]

WWE appearances (2013-2017)

Marshall made his NXT debut (though not signed to a contract) on September 18, 2013 under the name Michael Q. Laurie, a play on his birth name, losing to Aiden English.[6] On January 30, 2014, Marshall returned using his real name, teaming with John Icarino and losing to The Ascension.[7] Marshall made another NXT appearance in 2016, losing to Baron Corbin in just over a minute.[8] His last appearance came on March 29, 2017, going under the name Mike Marshall and teaming with Jonathan Ortagun to lose against the team of Otis Dozovic and Tucker Knight.[9]
