- | Semmler is the son of [[Dusty Rhodes|Dusty Semmler]], and worked as a referee in his father's promotion during high school. Semmler started wrestling professionally in 2006, using (Mark Runnels), wrestling for [[Ohio Valley Wrestling]] (OVW). While situated at OVW, he won various championships, both in tag team and singles competition, including the [[OVW Heavyweight Championship]]. He made his IWE television debut on July 16, 2007, under the ring name Mark Semmler. In December 2007, Semmler captured his first title with the company, the World Tag Team Championship with Hardcore Murnion, and the two held it for six months.

- | Semmler formed a secret alliance with Kyle Johnson during 2008. In the course of a match held on June 29 he turned on Murnion by switching sides to join Johnson, with whom he became World Tag Team champion. The new champions dropped their titles in August, only to win them back a week later. Semmler and Johnson were joined by [[Manu]] shortly afterwards, forming a faction of multi-generation wrestlers, although this alliance was to be short-lived. In January 2009, Semmler and Johnson formed a new alliance, [[The Legacy]], with [[Kevin McAlmond]]. Semmler was moved to the SmackDown brand in April 2010, as part of the [[2010 IWE Draft#Supplemental Draft|Supplemental Draft]], and won the IWE Tag Team Championship with Dax Hoovestall in September of the same year. In August 2011, Semmler won the [[IWE Intercontinental Championship]], his first singles championship in IWE, holding it for over seven months until he lost it at [[IWE WrestleMania 28|WrestleMania 28]]. He won the title back one month later at [[IWE Extreme Rules (2012)|Extreme Rules (2012)]].
