Mike Hettinga (born July 17 1978) is an American professional wrestler better known by his ring name, Mike Knox. He is currently under contract to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and wrestling for the Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) brand.
Career
Early career
Knox was trained by "Navajo Warrior" Steve Islas, and first debuted in Impact Zone Wrestling in 1998. He quickly became a featured part of independent wrestling shows in Arizona, Utah, and California, including a notable stint in Ultimate Pro Wrestling.
World Wrestling Entertainment
Knox was signed to a WWE developmental deal in 2005, and made a handful of appearances on WWE shows, including one appearance as a masked "jihadist" for Muhammad Hassan.
When the Extreme Championship Wrestling brand was launched in June of 2006, Knox was placed on their roster. He debuted on the June 20 episode of ECW on Sci Fi by interfering in Kelly Kelly's striptease segment, coming from the backstage area and covering her with a towel before escorting her off stage. It was later revealed that that Kelly was Knox's (kayfabe) girlfriend, as well as an exhibitionist, and he informed her that he did not appreciate her stripping in front of anyone but him. For his in-ring debut, a win over Danny Doring, Kelly accompanied him to the ringside acting as a valet. He later formed a short-lived tag team with Test before starting a feud with CM Punk, after growing jealous of Kelly Kelly's admiration towards CM Punk. CM Punk has so far won every match in the feud, including a match which decided a spot in December to Dismember's Elimination Chamber match.
