Career

Mike Knox first appeared on ECW as the (storyline) boyfriend of diva Kelly Kelly. He often prevented Kelly from participating in striptease segments during the show.

During this time, Knox feuded with Test and CM Punk. Although he won several matches, he was a virtual unknown to the main talent rosters on Raw and SmackDown!. This was evidenced by his quick elimination at the 2006 Survivor Series.¹ After pinning Knox, popular wrestler Shawn Michaels turned to his team and asked who Knox was.

On April 7, 2008, a family living in Knox's former residence found anabolic steroids stashed away in the attic. While Knox has denied that the steroids belong to him, police are currently investigating the situation.² Knox continues to wrestle on ECW.
