Professional wrestling career

Chikara (2012–present)

In March, Archibald Peck's valet, Veronica had begun showing interest in Angelosetti, breaking off the relationship between herself and Peck.[6] Both men started a feud to prove to Veronica who is the toughest. Peck changed his gimmick to Mixed Martial Archie, using MMA during his matches.[7] They fought at "I'll Be a Mummy's Uncle", which Mark won via DQ due to Archie being disqualified for excessive punishment, after refusing to stop ground-and-pounding. After the match Veronica walked out with Mark and started to flirt with him.[8] On June 2 at Chikara's second internet pay-per-view, Chikarasaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur, The Throwbacks defeated the team of Archie/Archibald Peck and Colt Cabana in a match where the man who received the pinfall, must leave Chikara. While the referee was distracted, Mark hit Peck with his helmet and Hatfield pinned him for the win. Following the match, Veronica kissed her new boyfriend Angelosetti, while the dejected Peck walked out of the arena.[9]

In June 24, 2012, Angelosetti entered in the Chikara Young Lions Cup X tournament, defeating Jason Axe, Ryan Rush and Tripp Cassidy in the first round. Angelosetti defeated Anthony Stone on August 17, 2012 and defeated ACH in the finals, winning the Young Lions Cup.[10] On September 14, 2012, The Throwbacks and Matt Classic entered the 2012 King of Trios, losing to Team JWP (Command Bolshoi, Kaori Yoneyama and Tsubasa Kuragaki) in their first round match.[11] After this, Mark started a feud with ACH and Veronica started to filtering with The Mysterious and Handsome Stranger. Mark defeated ACH at Under the Hood in a match for the Young Lions Cup. After the match, Stranger appeared and humiliated Veronica, revealing himself as Archibald Peck. On June 2, 2013, Angelosetti retained the Young Lions Cup against Saturyne at Aniversario: Never Compromise. Following the event, Chikara went on a break (and the Cup was deactivated), which lasted until May 2014. On July 20, Angelosetti and Dasher Hatfield defeated the Pieces of Hate (Jigsaw and The Shard) to win the Chikara Campeonatos de Parejas.[12] In September, Angelosetti and Hatfield teamed up with Chikara Grand Champion Icarus as the Golden Trio for the 2014 King of Trios. The team made it all the way to the finals of the tournament, before losing to the Devastation Corporation (Blaster McMassive, Flex Rumblecrunch and Max Smashmaster).[13] On December 6 at Tomorrow Never Dies, the Throwbacks lost the Campeonatos de Parejas to McMassive and Smashmaster.[14]
