□ Personality:
Mike is truly an enigma whether you know him or not. He has a care free spirit, but at the same time if you look deep enough in to his eyes you can tell that there is something haunting. Something that is always looming him over that he can't seem to do anything about.

□ Biography:
Mike followed in his brother�s foot steps and started wrestling at a very young age (13) and he faced the same problems that his brother faced, but even worse. Mike spent five years on the independent scene trying to make a living to some kind of degree before his brother gave him a helping hand. His brother Rick was just called up from working dark matches in The XWL to actually wrestling in televised matches each week and had gotten his brother a try out match with the company.

Mike impressed the XWL brass so much they decided to sign him to a similar contract to that of his brother�s, but just went straight to putting him on Television so that his brother and he could form the XWL�s third tag team. However, in the early days they didn�t tag match, but Mike did shock everyone when he made his Pay per View debut at �Hell Hath No Fury� and defeated Dave Steel with his submission �The Dead Man�s Hand� to win The XWL Hardkore championship!

Mike�s hardkore title reign would go down in the books of the XWL as one of the longest reigns by any champion at the time as Mike held on to the title through a bitter feud with Nero Silveria that lasted for nine months with out losing the championship once! However, all good things must come to an end and Mike�s championship reign ended with a bitter taste in his mouth. A car accident three days before the Pay Per View �November 2 Remember� left Mike with a broken collar bone and he couldn�t get medical clearance to wrestle in the fatal four match between Dave Steel, Nero Silveria, Kurrupt, and himself making the match a triple threat for the now vacated title. Mike however did make an appearance during the match to provide a little extra commentary with Heywood Jablowme and Mike Oxbig.

Kurrupt was the victor of the match taking the title that once belonged to Mike, but Mike tried not to let that get him down as his girlfriend Tyra Burke debut soon after Mike was healed up and medical cleared to return to the ring. The XWL brass gave Mike a chance to declare his rematch for the Hardkore title even though the statue of limitations was up, but Mike turned the chance down, because he had set his eye on a new prize The XWL Dark Championship which was held by Josh Stevens formerly known as La Magra.

The brass gave Mike his chance to challenge for the Dark title, but they didn�t let him have a straight up one on one match. The match was set to be Mike taking on the current champion Josh Stevens and Kaos. The match of course was brutal on all three men and just when one of them thought that they had it won the third man would come in and ruin it. The match went on to probably be the longest and bloodiest non hardcore match in the XWL history. The end of the match finally came when Josh Stevens was thrown to the floor by Kaos and then Kaos being distracted by former XWL Fem - X champion and Diva Julie Peyton. As Kaos was distracted Mike slipped behind him and locked him in to the Dead Man�s Hand submission hold. It didn�t take long before Kaos tapped out and Mike had won the Dark championship!

Mike�s title reign however would be a short lived one as he was defeated by Mark Knox the week after winning the title, but the odd thing about it was that Mike�s own girlfriend Tyra Burke helped Knox defeated him. From the looks of it when it happened it was �looked� like an accident. Tyra had gotten a chair and slid it in to the ring with everyone thinking that it would be for Mike, but before Mike could get a hand on the chair Mark Knox grabbed him and hit his �Guiding Light� pedigree on Mike knocking him out cold and winning the title. Following the match Mike questioned Tyra�s loyalty to him, but she did her best to convince him that it was just an accident. That it wasn�t planned for it to end that way.

To some degree Mike believed her, but at the same time something didn�t just feel right about it. The week after losing the Dark title to Knox things were really rocky between the two of them, but that was mainly because Tyra came up missing and stayed missing till the next show where Mike was set to take on Kurrupt with the winner going on to challenge for the XWL Xtreme championship. Kurrupt won the match, because Mike�s attention was divided with Tyra missing, but he would soon find out where she was�

After Kurrupt picked up win he wasn�t done with Mike for some reason. He picked up a metal bat and was about to start to assault Mike with it. However, he never got a chance to as Tyra came out of nowhere and took the bat away from him. To everyone there that night thought she was coming to her boyfriend�s aid. Tyra however had a different idea about what was going to happen. She took the bat from Kurrupt to stop him from assaulting Mike, but only so she could do it. Tyra assaulted Mike with the bat till he was a bloody mess and then kissed Kurrupt as they stood over the limp bloody body of Mike. Mike had hit the bottle of the barrel now with losing his title two weeks ago now and then losing his girlfriend the week after.

Mike went on a drinking binge to try and numb the pain, but it didn�t seem to help any as he wound up in jail after assaulting a young couple that in his intoxicated state thought was Kurrupt and Tyra and his problems were just starting for him as several XWL former wrestlers started to complain about how reckless Mike had become in the ring with his constant drinking. XWL management of course couldn�t let Mike�s reckless behavior endanger any of the XWL in the ring so they decided that they would drop him down the card a little bit each week in hopes that his position in the company getting lower and lower that it would snap him out of his destructive behavior, but it in fact only added more reason for him to drink more. When that didn�t work they tried the opposite and moved him back up to the top of the XWL which of course lead to more complaints about Mike�s attitude in and out of the ring, but the XWL was doing the best they could come up with trying get Mike to snap out of it without having to force him in to rehab. Mike managed to win the XWL Youngblood championship from one of Mark Knox�s brother, but in his first defense against XWL�s Next Big Thing Reese Benson he lost the title in what is said to be his best match since he started down his destructive path. After the match it was clear that Mike was a ticking time bomb and everyone knew it some will argue to say whether or not Mike did, but he did realize that he was becoming a liability to the XWL in the ring and shocked not only the XWL management team, but also the XWL fans when he asked for and was granted his contract.

Mike decided that if he was going to self destruct he was going to do it by himself instead of taking anyone with him. Mike nearly killed himself a couple of times before friends and family finally got through to him clean himself up. Mike entered rehab and after a few months his was back on track, but the XWL had shut it doors so a chance at a return to the business he loved was out of the question. Instead of trying to find another company to work for he enrolled to LSU after getting his GED. However, his extreme lifestyle in the ring was calling to him to get back in to the ring, but he wanted to finish college and continue to get his life back together. However, he needed to fill his extreme desire somehow and he knew wrestling for LSU wouldn�t allow him to do what he was use to. So Mike embarked on skateboarding he was pretty good at it, but he wasn�t no where close to be a championship level boarder.

Then of course when news of The XWL opening it�s door back up after changing management he knew that he had to get in touch with the new head of operations who was Hunter Davis. Mike stopped his boarding and even left LSU to go back to the XWL to redeem himself in the eyes of his peers. Upon returning to the XWL many of the wrestlers who returned were weary of Mike for good reasons, but Mike showed them that he had his life back under control. Mike�s return tour of the XWL lasted only five months, before his world came down on him again making it difficult to focus on wrestling. However, before then Mike managed to win the Dark Champion by defeating long time friend behind the scenes, but bitter rival on screen in Nero Silveria in a match made by Michael Stevens to determine who was going to become the new champion of the vacant title.

The match was a great match with it being the first and to date the only Fly or Die Match in the history of the wrestling world. After winning the title Mike held on to it for two months before losing it to Barry Blaze as Deadly Games. The match all week had many fans of the XWL believing that it would steal the show, but in the end Mike walked down to the ring and threw the Dark championship down at Blaze�s feet and said that he could just take the title, because his head wasn�t in the right frame of mind at the moment to put on a wrestling match. The reason behind that was, because previous in the night in his brother Rick was seriously injured during his match and he wanted to be at the hospital for his brother and sister in law.

The fans and Blaze both understood where he was coming from at the time, but the next day the XWL was flooded with hate mail, because they all though that Rick�s injury was a work and that the storyline with Mike and Blaze was a punishment for Mike�s previous behavior that he cleaned himself up from and hell a few of the fans even asked for their money back, because they were robbed of the match they wanted to see. However, what they didn�t know was that Rick was actually in reality seriously injured his neck by his opponent botching a move. Mike was once again granted his release from the XWL. A month later the new XWL was bankrupt with losing three of their biggest stars.

After a while Mike found himself wrestling again, but this time it was for The AWA or America Wrestling Alliance with his brother Rick after he recovered from his injuries. Their tenure with the AWA was a short lived one when problems within the company started to come up, but before Rick and Mike left they managed to capture The AWA Legion Tag Titles from Matt B. Wild and a partner that�s names has been lost in history some where. Shortly after they won the titles they departed the company heading to a new upstart promotion in August of 2003 known as East Coast Connection or ECC. Mike got off to the slow start in the company due to Chance Winters pushing Rick hard from the beginning giving him all the high profile matches while he was lucky to get booked once every other week.

However, Mike wasn�t held away from the ECC titles for long as he and Rick captured The ECC Tandem Twins tag championship by defeating Shaolin and Assassin. The two of them would hold on to the titles for a couple of months before they lost them to their long time rivals Revolution S (Josh and Michael Stevens). After the losing the titles Mike was upset that they did, but Rick couldn�t have cared less, because he was already a former Ground Zero Champion and the current World�s Elite champion. He had his share of glory and could careless about getting the titles back. Mike however, only had the glory of the tag titles to his name to date.

Mike didn�t get many chances after losing the tag titles with the exception a shot at the Transcontinental title in a King Of Beasts Match featuring him going against Alex Wilkins, Xavior Spires, and the Transcontinental champion Michael Stevens. The match was a grueling one, but in the end Mike couldn�t capture the title and the winner of the match was Xavior Spires. After that blown chance Mike�s title chances disappeared all together at time as he had several different matches against Alex Wilkins and Hardcore Holmes in contender ship matches for titles, but in all of the matches it seemed like Mike was out of his league. He would end up losing the contender ship matches or squeak out a win, but then go on to lose the title match. Mike was stuck in a series of feuds with Holmes and Wilkins, but they were just driving him closer to the edge of the insanity with toying with his wife Nya Eclipse. Holmes tortured her every chance he got and Wilkins being her ex-lover didn�t help much when Wilkins was always trying to get close to her to try and steal her back away from Mike.

Nya however, remained faithful to Mike and didn�t leave him either. In fact Mike�s and Nya�s bond grew stronger, because shortly after The Young Gunz lost the tag titles to Revolution S she broke the news to Mike that she was pregnant. This of course made both of their lives seem like they were in heaven and Mike finally asked Nya to marry him. However, it seemed like something sinister was working against them as when their original wedding date came around it was cancelled, because of threatening remarks made by Mike�s old girlfriend Tyra Burke who had since married Hardcore Holmes. Mike cancelled the wedding and had his brother Rick and best friend Ryan Singer take Nya somewhere safe till he had a chance to have a talk with his former lover.

From there things only seemed to get worse for the couple, because soon after their first attempt to get married Nya found out from the doctors that she wasn�t carrying her fianc�s child that she was carrying the child of her ex-lover Alex Wilkins. Nya tried so hard to hide that from Mike, but with secrets of that proportion they always have a way of finding their way out and this secret was no different, because Wilkins could see in the way Nya was acting towards Mike that she wasn�t carrying his child like she was saying she was. Wilkins being the bastard that he is continually pointed that out to Mike along with saying that he doesn�t want any thing to do with the baby since Nya had been sleeping with Mike. However, Mike knew deep down Wilkins was lying about that to himself and to everyone else for that matter.

Mike however couldn�t worry about that right at the moment, because he had more important things to worry about like finding out the truth about Nya�s baby. Was it Alex�s or was it his? He had to know the truth before he tried to take Nya down that aisle again. When Mike finally confronted her about the pregnancy she had no choice, but to come clean about it. For the first moment he heard the news he was furious at her for not coming to him sooner about the baby. Many in the ECC and fans watching that for sure that their relationship was over with, but Mike showed why he is considered a knight in shining armor sometimes. With out refusing to accept the child and take care of the child that he helped created in the next moment after finding out the truth Mike got down on one me and asked Nya to marry him again to prove just how much he really loved her no matter who the baby�s father was.

Soon after that the two of them finally managed to get married, but afterwards their relationship became even more rockier. An old enemy of Mike�s debuted in the ECC by the name of Xander Cage and he was gunning to make Mike�s life a living hell and the best way he could do that was by attacking Nya, but not when Mike was around to play on her fears of Mike not truly loving her because of the baby. Cage waited till the right time and that time came while Mike was just coming to after being knocked unconscious by Holmes during a match. He attacked her while she was still pregnant too which even added more fear in to her about what Mike really thought of the pregnancy. Cage was about to strike the down Nya in the stomach with a sledgehammer when a groggy Mike came in to the picture and took the blow to his back. Cage just smirked he might not have ruined Mike�s marriage that day, but there was a chance he finished Mike for good.

However, he couldn�t have been further from the truth. Sure Mike was in pain, but he stood up and carried Nya all the way to the trainers room so she could be looked at. While there Mike refused any medical attention until they were for sure that Nya and the baby were okay. He wanted to make sure that there was no doubt in Nya�s mind that he still loved her like the day that meet and then some along with the baby. After that Mike saw a different side of his wife when she admitted to being bi-sexual and that her former manager and current Announcer for ECC Crystal Madison was at one point her lover. From there things seemed to get better for the couple as every once in a while the three of them would get together and have a threesomes.

However, those threesomes started to turn in to twosomes when Nya started to show the fact that she was pregnant as she became overly obsessed with her looks as she went from a petite Asian high flyer to a short overweight Asian and felt that Mike would be disgusted by the way she would naked no matter how many times Mike would tell her that he loved her no matter how she looked. However, it never seemed to work as Nya always shy away from physical contact leaving Mike to get his love and affection from Crystal. Then on Christmas Day Mike and Crystal were both awaken from their slumber in front of fire place by Nya screaming in pain. Nya had went in to labor and after several hours of pain and straining Nya gave birth to Christopher Robert Young. Christopher might have been Wilkins son by blood, but Mike was more of a dad to him than Wilkins could ever be.

However, not all fairy tales have happy endings though and this was one of those ones that doesn�t. A week after Nya had given birth Mike was away training with his brother Rick for an important match up and Crystal was away on business for the ECC when Wilkins dropped by their home to visit the new mother of his child. After a couple of hours of playing with Nya�s mind Wilkins broke her and turned her against her husband and left with Wilkins to raise their son together. Soon after that she filed for divorce leaving Mike once again a broken down mental wreck. Mike however, did seem to handle it a little more easier than his break up with Tyra, but then again shortly after Nya left him he won the ECC Twizted Championship. It was the lowest title any one could win, but it kept Mike busy, because it was the most defended title of all time in ECC.

However soon after Mike won the title the ECC was bought out by Simon Phoenix and No Limit Wrestling Entertainment. Mike�s title reign was officially over the moment the company was bought out, but unofficially he is still the reigning and undefeated Twizted Champion. Also during the transition from The ECC to NLWE both Mike, his brother, and Teresa all opted out of their contracts and they weren�t the only ones either. Wilkins, Revolution S, and The Shooting Stars just to name a few got out while they could. However, he wasn�t out of work for long as Raven�s Loft Wrestling came a calling him.

Mike of course answered the call for another shot at trying to be the top man in a company, but things were meant to go that way for him, because right away his brother was given all the best chance and for the first three weeks Mike wasn�t booked either. Mike didn�t get his first match up till after RLW I - Corp champion Crisis was fired by Simon Phoenix who once again bought the company Mike was working for, but there was no escaping this time. His first match was against Tyler �Hardcore� Holmes in a tournament to decide who would be the next I - Corp champion. Mike defeated Holmes for the first time in his career and then went on to round number two where he faced Tia Moore.

Mike once again was victorious in the match meaning that he was headed for the tournament finals, but he didn�t know who was going to be facing in the match. On hand it could have been his best friend Randal Palin or Angela Jameson. In the tournament finals it came down to Mike taking on Jameson in a match which was hard fought that saw Mike once again come out on top as the winner and new I - Corp champion. However, it was short lived again, because Phoenix decided Mike wasn�t good enough to be in the NLW and fired him the following week much like how he did Crisis. That same show Rick broke his foot and surprise surprise was also fired. Now Rick and Mike are both once again in The AWA with Mike gunning for the current AWA Heavyweight champion Caleb Cale.

After two months of calling out Cale to get him to give him a shot at the AWA Heavyweight championship Cale finally had no choice, but finally give in and grant my his wish. However, it came at a price for Cale and his �Promise� stable mate Natalie Augustson who was brutally attacked and hospitalize by Mike which was finally was the straw that broke the camels back. The two of them were set to face off for the title at AWA�s second �Super Card� Revenge, but financial problems caused the show never to air on pay per view and shortly after that personal reasons drew Mike away from the AWA, because they had to be dealt with.

Mike was given custody of his six year old daughter by the state of Louisiana after her mother was committed in to a mental hospital. After spending some much needed time with his daughter Patience Mike was was ready to make his return to the AWA in which he did in big fashion! Mike made his return to Showdown where he not only apoligized to Natalie Augustson for what he did to her, but was named the Number one contender to Zeek Williams AWA World Heavyweight championship. The two of them faced off at Dead On Arrival for the title and in what can only be called a match made for the ages Mike defeated Zeek Williams who had assistance from Deacon Riggs and Jackson Jones with a little help from a familiar face...Josh Stevens!

Mike and Zeek are currently slated to face off in a rematch at Lost Souls!
