Outlook - Mikey Whipwreck is one of the many stars that Paul Heyman's ECW created who have been able to make a career of that legacy. An undersized ringboy who bumped well, he was given a golden spot as the ultimate underdog within a year of starting with ECW, he was already past his peak of success...kind of. Whipwreck briefly went on to WCW and returned to ECW rejuvenated and he put fourth a strong effort in the company's dying days. Afterwards he's become notable as the trainer of some of some favorites on the East Coast indies: Amazing Red, the SATs, Brian XL and others. Though his students are innovative and exciting, they are lacking in various areas. Their success has brought him back into the wrestling scene again and a broken down Mikey Whipwreck is still hanging tough.
