Career

Mikey Whipwreck was trained by Sonny Blaze in 1993. Blaze opted not to charge him, doubting the likelihood of Whipwreck ever succeeding as a wrestler. Once his training was complete, Whipwreck became part of the Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) ring crew, assembling the ring in the ECW Arena. ECW booker Paul Heyman hired him after he watched Whipwreck practice a variety of aerial maneuvers before the show began. The short, lightly-built Whipwreck made a natural underdog who would absorb a great deal of damage in the course of his matches, and his entrance music, Beck's "Loser", predicated his poor win-loss record. He defeated Pitbull #1 for the ECW World Television Championship on May 15, 1994 and held the title until August 13 of that year, although he rarely dominated his opponents, instead winning as a result of luck and outside interference. 1993 is a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar and marked the Beginning of the International Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination (1993-2003). ...

Whipwreck's big break came on August 27, 1994, when Terry Funk missed his plane and, thus, his scheduled tag team match with Cactus Jack (Mick Foley) against Johnny Grunge and the late Rocco Rock, the "Public Enemy." Whipwreck substituted for Funk, and managed to pin Rock, thus gaining the ECW World Tag Team Championship.

On January 5, 1996 Scorpio regained the television title, and two months later, the tag team champions lost their titles to Perry Saturn and John Kronus ("The Eliminators"). Cactus Jack turned on Whipwreck, blaming him for their loss. The imminent departure of Cactus Jack for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) caused the fickle ECW fans to support Whipwreck during this feud. After Whipwreck attacked Cactus Jack during a bout with Shane Douglas, a singles match between the two was scheduled for March, 1996.

Aligning himself with The Sinister Minister, he lost numerous matches before winning the tag team titles for a third time along with Yoshihiro Tajiri (The Unholy Alliance).
