Rare Appearances

In early 2006, Mark wrestled at the Amarillo, TX based indy-wrestling company West Texas Wrestling Legends (WTWL) ran by his brother Chris. He made several appearances for the company before going back into retirement in July of 2006.

On January 13, 2007 Mark Romero resurfaced in WTWL and made a rare in-ring appearance using the famous Youngblood name. Mark defeated The WTWL Champion Thunder to win the championship. After the match WTWL Superstars "Hobo" Hank, Mike DiBiase, Dice Murdock, nephew "Radical" Ricky Romero III and Mark's brother Chris Romero came down to celebrate the win with the new champion.

Mark Romero later decided to fully retire from the ring and vacated the WTWL Championship. In March of 2007 the former WTWL Champion Thunder went on to recapture the vacated title for the second time after defeating fellow WTWL Superstar "Dancin" Dice Murdock at The WTWL event "Breakin The Rulz" in Amarillo.
