10 Wrestlers You Didn't Know Worked For ROH
You certainly won't remember these wrestlers in Ring of Honor
3. Mikey Whipwreck
Though Mikey Whipwreck sort of faded away from the wrestling business after ECW went under, he didn’t disappear from it entirely.
As well as picking up the occasional independent booking, the former ECW World Heavyweight Champion turned his attention to training a bunch of East-Coast-based hopefuls that would go on to become some of the hot young things of the early 2000s indie scene.
Among his top products were The S.A.Ts – Joel & Jose Maximo and the Amazing Red. The trio of high-fliers made their names in Ring of Honor, with Red in particular having a series of absolute belters during the company’s early days.
After taking the whole of 2002 off and entering into semi-retirement (in large part due to various nagging injuries), Whipwreck returned to action a year later for ROH, where he would team with – and against – his students.
No longer the skinny little whipping boy of his mid-90s prime, Mikey was now the elder statesman of the squared circle, the glue holding together the frenetic multi-man matches he found himself in, like the 10 vs. 7 Handicap Scramble Match from ROH’s second-anniversary show.
He only made three stateside Ring of Honor appearances, along with one on a combined ROH/FWA card in London, but it sure was nice to see the Unholy Altar Boy for a minute there.
