Mikey Whipwreck has undergone a shocking transformation from lovable underdog into a raving, paranoid, violent schizophrenic. Advised by the mysterious Sinister Minister, Mikey is in fact the first person to ever attain the ECW Triple Crown. Every belt attainable in Extreme Championship Wrestling has found itself wrapped around Mikey's waist.

After wrestling only a few scant weeks, Mikey found himself to be the ECW World Television Champion by way of a fluke victory. Begging ECW to take back the belt, Mikey instead found himself taking beating after beating, still ending up the victor against the most heinous and ferocious of opponents! When he finally lost the Championship, he was sure the worst was over.

However, when Cactus Jack, Mick Foley, needed a partner to challenge The Public Enemy for the ECW World Tag Team Championship, he dragged an unwilling Whipwreck to the ring against The Hoodies. Although Mikey first ran in fear, he returned to rescue Foley from a brutal double-team and win the World Championships, the first of a pair of World Tag Team Championships they would go on to attain.

Cactus Jack said it best about Mikey's ring skills, "It wasn't just luck, it was a man holding on for dear life itself!" Taken under the Hardcore Legend's wing, Mikey learned valuable skills about defending himself in the cold world that is professional wrestling, lessons he would go on to use when he accomplished the greatest upset of all, winning the ECW World Heavyweight Championship from The Sandman.

Now Mikey was the hunted underdog. Everyone was gunning for him. But a more confident Whipwreck went on to gain victory after victory over such impressive competitors as Steve Austin and Rey Mysterio, Jr. The victory over Austin was a Stone Cold Stunner that was accomplished in less than five minutes!

When Mikey finally lost the World Championship, he had already gained the greatest victory of all: the knowledge that he wasn't a fluke. It wasn't luck that brought him his success, it was his heart.

That heart which once endeared him to the ECW fans has grown dark and erratic in recent months, as Mikey's mild mannered look has been replaced with his new fiery red visage. Paranoid over conspiracies only he truly understands, Mikey trusts only The Sinister Minister and his tag team partner Yoshihiro Tajiri while at the same time becoming obsessed with fire.

This obsession has led to Mikey's mastering of the element, throwing fire with ease. An act so disturbing it is only outmatched by the cackling that has become the calling card of both Mikey and The Sinister Minister.

Whether it is that obsession, the presence Minister or the immediate melding of his talents with partner Yoshihiro Tajiri, Mikey Whipwreck's descent into madness has served to make him a more dangerous opponent for anyone who face him.

With his recent victory in the ECW World Tag Team championship tournament with Tajiri, it is only a matter of time before Mikey is in contention for another championship here in Extreme Championship Wrestling.
