DECATUR – By day, Mark Campbell is just a regular guy, an ADM employee supplying cooking oils to local restaurants. As he puts it, “If you go out and eat anything deep fried in this town, I probably put the oil in that fryer.” From 9 to 5, that job is Campbell’s reality. But at night, all bets are off, and Campbell is more likely to be settling disputes with a power slam than the advice of a company mediator.

Once he steps into the four-sided ring, “Mark Campbell” no longer exists – all that’s left is Truk Thompson, professional wrestling powerhouse.

A fan of pro wrestling, Campbell thirsted for action in the ring from a young age. Now 30 years old, he’s become a respected veteran in the Central Illinois pro wrestling scene, training several times a week in Decatur at Skywalker International Sports Complex under the tutelage of fellow wrestler and training coordinator Guy Smith. Mentally and physically, he’s completely transformed himself from the person who curiously inquired about pro wrestling at a Maroa town fair six years ago.
