1967

Luke Joseph "Joe" Mark Scarpa Jr. (April 23, 1967 – February 25, 2016) was an American professional wrestler, known by his ring name Mark Young, who competed in the World Wrestling Federation in the 1980s and early 1990s, World Championship Wrestling, and many independent promotions.

He wrestled intermittently for the next few months on house shows, facing opponents such as Barry O and Jimmy Jack Funk.

1989

In February 1989, Scarpa, as Vince Young, would join World Championship Wrestling as part of a wave of fresh talent brought in under the new ownership of the company.

Now given a breakdancing gimmick, Young defeated Trent Knight in his debut on the February 18, 1989, issue of WCW's Saturday Night show.

While well received in his first match, his second encounter was met by a fan during a February 25 match against Joe Cacane who yelled, "This ain't Chip 'n Dales!".

Although he was not defeated in his tenure, Young abruptly left WCW following a March 23 match against Kendall Windham in Harrisonburg, VA after receiving a full-time position with the World Wrestling Federation.

Now a contracted performer with the WWF, Mark Young made his return on June 27, 1989, when he defeated The Brooklyn Brawler in a match that aired on International Wrestling Challenge.

This marked his first victory with his father's company.

He would face "The Duke of Dorchester" Pete Doherty later that month and would defeat him in each encounter.

On television however Young was now firmly established as an enhancement talent, losing to heels like Bad News Brown, Earthquake, Mr. Perfect, Al Perez and Rick Martel.

After a brief departure for an All Japan tour that summer, following a loss to Ron Garvin on September 8, 1990, Scarpa left the company once more.
