Description

John Michael Watson (born June 4, 1973), better known by his ring name Mikey Whipwreck, is an American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his career with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), where he became the first ECW Triple Crown Champion. He is also known for innovating the notable three-quarter facelock jawbreaker, which he called Whipper-Snapper and was later used by Stone Cold Steve Austin, who popularized the move by the name Stone Cold Stunner. Whipwreck is a former world champion, winning the ECW World Heavyweight Championship once. He also became a two-time World Television Champion and a three-time World Tag Team Champion in ECW.

Watson began his professional wrestling career in ECW in 1994 and received the push of an underdog, who quickly captured the Television Championship, his first title in the company. He would later form an on-and-off partnership with Cactus Jack, with whom he held the World Tag Team Championship twice between 1994 and 1996. A year later, Whipwreck captured the World Heavyweight Championship at age 22 and became the youngest ECW World Heavyweight Champion. He would compete as a mid-carder in the company before leaving in 1998 but returned to the company in late 1999 after a short stint with World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Shortly after his return, Whipwreck aligned with The Sinister Minister and formed a tag team with Yoshihiro Tajiri called The Unholy Alliance and won his third World Tag Team Championship with Tajiri. The team existed until ECW's closure in 2001.
