Just Mike is a retired Australian backyard wrestler performing in X-treme Championship Wrestling. Just Mike was formerly one half of the xCw Tag Team Champions with his tag team partner and protege Simply Scott and is known as the mastermind behind all of the xCw DVD releases, video package/hype videos, and other merchandising with his companies Just Mike Designs/Just Films. In character, Just Mike is a Pro-Canadian and a scheming heel with a style focused on technicality, chance and underhanded tactics.
He started his career joining forces with Tazer as his lackey and tag team partner. His first feud was against Kola Bear, which would begin a 10-0 winning streak for Just Mike, defeating the likes of Owner Dugay, Blade Shaw, Junior Referee Daniel Bonner, Vorny 2 Horny and O Factor. xWa formed soon after his arrival. His rivalry with Jnr Ref led to his first loss. These were the first cracks to appear as xWa split up, and Just Mike went out on his own. He briefly feuded with Lance Lightning, then Tazer. At Halloween Horror he formed Team Canada with his new protege Simply Scott. They started a heated feud with not only Vorny 2 Horny, assaulting him after his match with Just Mike, but also Defuzer - Simply Scott's cousin. At the following show they beat V2H and Chris 'The Horseman' Rowe for the xCw Tag Team Championship, giving Just Mike his first taste of championship gold in his career. His bitter feud with Defuzer culminated in a huge match up at xCw One Night Only, which was voted by peers as the best match of the years from 2005-2009. The feud fizzled out shortly after, before Just Mike began a feud with Nik Arial. During this time Just Mike also joined with Tazer in invading a local backyard wrestling competitor, Inner City Wrestling Syndicate. Just Mike would then try defend the Tag Team titles basically on his own against The Heartbreakers at Christmas Kaos V, with Jnr Ref as a surprise partner picked by Owner Chris Rowe. Just Mike lost the tag titles and beat down his old nemesis Jnr Ref. Just Mike would then challenge The Horseman in his last ever match for xCw for later in the show, and in a moment of glory for Just Mike, he made Chris Rowe tap out to the Final Word. One of Just Mike's last xCw related appearances was to induct his tag team partner Simply Scott into the xCw Hall of Fame.
