Mikey Whipwreck is a name that is usually associated with ECW. Since 1994 Mikey was a plucky underdog babyface. He won the tag titles with Mick Foley and even won the World title. In 1999 WCW randomly signed him. What followed was a heel Mikey having zero storylines, a few random PPV matches and some ECW reunion weapons matches. The couldn’t decide if they wanted him in the cruiserweight division or the hardcore division. This whole thing stunk because Mikey was very talented but this WCW run didn’t help him as they have him zero wins. A first in Ring Of The Hawk!

The best story from this run is when Mikey met Curt Hennig. Hennig kind of blew him off before Mikey's first match with Kidman. Afterwards, Curt made it a point to go back to Mikey and give him a true handshake and apologized for assuming Mikey was just another bad wrestler. Curt gave Mikey the respect he deserved after that performance.

Damn this actually makes me realize how good ECW wrestlers tend to be, none of them that had short runs in other companies actually did get low scores for their runs and a lot of them can actually wrestle really well. It makes me kinda wish that ECW just had a guy who could take control of the finances because Paul Heyman was really very good at finding talent and developing them in his brand and using the guys properly so they actually made a name for themselves as talented wrestlers. Like just think about it Mikey Whipwreck was 100% an homegrown ECW talent who was actually quite good in the ring, Sabu and Rob Van Dam are also ECW talents who were quite good in the ring. Tajiri got known in the US through ECW because they would actually give Japanese wrestlers more respect than WWE or WCW did.

I heard in a shoot interview that Vincent (Virgil) played politics and buried Mikey behind the scenes by telling Hulk Hogan lots of B.S about Mikey, which is a huge contributor to why Mikey didn't do well in WCW. Yeah, Vincent (Virgil) was pretty low on the card, but he did know people (one of the reasons he was employed for so long) and one of them was Hogan, who had close relations with the WCW bookers.

If Kevin Nash and Scott Hall took Mikey under their wing, they could’ve gotten some great mileage out of him. They could’ve made Mikey their new Syxx, but with a schlubby underdog quality like Mick Foley. And then manipulate him and use him week after week for months until he finally breaks the spell and fights back. But instead we got this. At least his tag team with Tajiri was good. And I think they were tag team champions if I remember correctly.

0:42 And the first WCW match Mikey Whipreck had cost him big. According to management, because Mikey Whipwreck had his match overshadowed Virgil's match at WCW Uncensored (1999), he was made a job guy and forced to lose. According to Mikey Whipwreck in an interview from 5 years ago, he was positioned for either a WCW Cruiserweight Champion run or a WCW World Television Champion run by WCW Slamboree (1999) if his match with Billy Kidman didn't overshadow Virgil's match. It did, so he got buried.

Mikey Whipwreck was the perfect fit for ECW, he didn't look like a wrestler, but he can wrestle good matches. He benefited from Paul Heyman greatly. A lot of the guys in ECW are underappreciated in my opinion as they generally don't fit the bill that WWF/E and WCW wants, that is one of the reasons why I refer to ECW as "The Land of Misfits", guys that Paul Heyman saw as valuable, where other promotions didn't.

Surge was a short lived soda that was a competitor to Mountain Dew. it was actually REALLY GOOD and better than the Dew from the late 90s (cancer battery acid), they had all these crazy commercials to try to appeal to skaters and bikers and extreme sports people, but it never caught on. Dew was always bigger and a lot of people were put off. Coca-Cola still brings it back in short runs every once in awhile but its not the same as the original version i promise you that it was actually really good, i would buy it a lot because i prefer lemon/lime/grapefruit sodas most of the time and this slotted in perfect. my elementary school had a Coca-Cola deal and one of the vending machines had the Surge logo. it was cool, i'd always get one to eat with my chalupa

1997 - 2003. Coca Cola's attempt to "kill" Pepsi's Mountain Dew. Citrus soft drink with extra maltodextrin for "hardcore energy" or some such _radical_ '90s nonsense Didn't work. Mountain Dew won.

The match he had with Villano V isn't even listed on Mikey's official profightdb page, but I found it on KZbin and saw it and was amazed that Mikey actually won. Someone should really add that match to Mikey's profightdb page. Anyway, only reason it wasn't added to this Ring of the Hawk episode is because, for the sake of time, he ignores the smaller C and D list shows and only focuses on the PPVs and the A and B shows (the Villano V fight took place on WCW Worldwide, which was WCW's D show at the time which very few people watched and the Bobby Blaze match took place on WCW Saturday Night, which used to be an A show during the 80's and early 90's, but got demoted to B show status with the introduction of Nitro and got demoted even more to C show status with the introduction of Thunder and by 1999 when Mikey was in WCW, the Saturday Night show was a struggling C show). Anyway, I'm happy Mikey at least won two matches and wasn't completely at zero wins.

I like the fact before he came a wrestler he cameo'd in the crowd on a early episode of Raw. he only really worked in ECW. but could've had that cruiserweight potential if not buried behind the scenes.

Surge was a pre-monster energy drink. Instead of random mushrooms and buffalo semen or whatever alchemy early energy drinks used, it was just caffeine. It was a competitor of Jolt, which was basically Pepsi with 5x the caffeine where Surge was Mountain Dew with 2-3x the caffeine. I think around 100mg/can was the number.

@@pendafen7405 For a while its precursor, Jolt Cola actually was banned from sale within a certain radius of a school, including colleges. This was in the mid 90s,. By the time the "real" energy drinks like monster, red bull and 5-hour energy came out Jolt and surge came back on the shelves, but only in bodegas and dollar stores, their mystique haven worn away. It was mainly abused by college kids to cram, as this was before energy drinks and adderol, and I guess they were too good for speed or blow.

The brand is liquid blue,they do dragons,skulls,all sorts of prints but it’s their double sided all over prints sre their best ones. It’s thanks to seeing Mikey in them I ever even learned they existed,it bothered me for years as to what the exact label name was until recent years.
