Mikey Whipwreck
Mikey Whipwreck, born John Michael Watson on June 4, 1973, in Buffalo, New York, is a retired American professional wrestler best known for his work in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). He became ECW’s youngest World Heavyweight Champion and is a member of ECW’s Triple Crown era. He also held the World Television Championship twice and the World Tag Team Championship three times.
Watson started in ECW in 1994 as an underdog, quickly winning the World Television Championship and earning a fan-favorite push. He teamed with Cactus Jack (Mick Foley) to win the World Tag Team Championship twice in the mid-1990s. In 1995, at age 22, he won the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, becoming the youngest ever to hold the title. He later formed The Unholy Alliance with Tajiri and captured another World Tag Team Championship. ECW closed in 2001.
After a brief stint in WCW in 1999, he returned to ECW and continued wrestling in various storylines until ECW folded. He then wrestled in other promotions (ROH, TNA) and took part in ECW reunion shows in 2005–2006. He has also worked as a wrestling agent. In 2015, Mikey Whipwreck became a playable character in WWE 2K16.
