Mikey Whiplash
Mikey Whiplash is the ring name of British professional wrestler Michael John Gilbert, born July 16, 1980, in Stoke-on-Trent, England. He is 6 ft 2 in tall and around 205 lb, and he lives in Glasgow, Scotland. He started wrestling in 2000 after training with Chris Curtis.
As Mikey Whiplash, he became a well-known figure on the UK independent scene. He owned and ran two Glasgow promotions, Fierce Females and the Source Wrestling School, but stepped back from Fierce Females after abuse allegations linked to the Speaking Out movement and messages sent to a young trainee.

In 2009 he won the World Heavy Middleweight Championship by defeating Thomas La Ruffa. He also won the European Heavyweight Championship in All Star Wrestling by beating Rampage Brown, though he lost it the same day to James Mason on October 2, 2010.
Whiplash had a long run with Insane Championship Wrestling, where he held the ICW Heavyweight Championship and the Zero-G Championship. He has faced many notable wrestlers, including Drew Galloway, Grado, Andy Wild, Wolfgang, Jack Jester, Joe Hendry, Angélico, Jordan Devlin, Jimmy Havoc, Sabu, Stevie Boy, Joe Coffey and Zack Sabre Jr.
