Mark Robert Jindrak (born June 26, 1977) is an American professional wrestler, best known for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) under his real name. He is currently signed to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), where he competes under the ring name Marco Corleone. In addition to CMLL, he has also competed for its rival promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), making his AAA debut in March 2009 before he returned to CMLL in December 2011. He has also worked for Mexican promotions Perros del Mal and Lucha Libre USA.
Jindrak trained in the WCW Power Plant under Paul Orndorff. He was promoted to the main WCW roster in June 2000 under the Vince Russo era where he formed a tag team with fellow Power Plant graduate Sean O'Haire. In August 2000, Jindrak and O'Haire helped form The Natural Born Thrillers with Mike Sanders, Shawn Stasiak, Chuck Palumbo, Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli, and Reno. They were briefly "coached" by Kevin Nash. In September 2000, Jindrak won the World Tag Team Championship with O'Haire for the first time, despite being relatively new in the business. The pair would win the World Tag Team Title one more time before splitting in early January 2001 when Jindrak would begin teaming with Stasiak instead. The team was short-lived, as Stasiak went on to pick up the managerial service of Stacy Keibler and Jindrak was taken off television.
