Mike Alfonso was born on January 24, 1965 in Tampa, Florida.
Mike grew up in Florida being a big fan of the CWF promotion. He was a big fan
of Terry Funk and Jack Brisco while growing up. He played high school football
but when he went to the University of South Florida he ended up getting into
construction work because the college did not have a football team. Both Mike
and his cousin Horace decided to get into the wrestling business on December 25,
1987 and began to be trained by Steve Keirn after seeing an advertisement for
his wrestling. Mike Alfonso made his debut as Mike Awesome for the PWF promotion
on February 26, 1989 teaming with Wayne Sawyer losing to the Star Riders. Mike
Awesome and Steve Keirn together traveled to Memphis to wrestle for Jerry
Lawler's CWA promotion. He challenged Jerry Lawler for the promotions main title
but never came away with the belt.
Mike was then contacted by FMW to go to Japan after Al Greene who was originally
was suppose to be The Gladiator decided to go to WCW instead. Mike accepted the
offer and made his debut for FMW on September 20, 1990. Onita loved The
Gladiator and how impressive Mike was and decided to bring him in multiple times
for 1991 and became one of the top heels of the promotion. He originally joined
Mr. Pogo and Victor Quinones' Puerto Rican Army to feud with Atsushi Onita and
the rest of FMW team in many main event barbed wire streets that went all over
the building. After Mr. Pogo left FMW in 1991 then The Gladiator would soon join
up with the next brand new top heel stable in The Sheik Army that consisted of
The Sheik, The Gladiator, Tiger Jeet Singh, Tiger Jeet Singh, Jr. (Tiger Ali
Singh), Horace Boulder, Big Titan and Damian. The Gladiator made his Kawasaki
Stadium debut on September 23, 1991 teaming with Big Titan to defeat Ricky Fuji
and Sambo Asako after Titan knocked out Ricky Fuji.
While going from city to city in Japan on the heel bus Damian would bring in
many tapes of Lucha Libre matches to watch on the bus while traveling. Mike
would see many of the spectacular moves that the Lucha stars were doing and felt
he even at 6'6 could do those same moves using the top rope. The Gladiator began
to adapt new moves that set him apart from any other big man in the business for
the next 8 years as he was one of the few big men that could come off from the
top turnbuckle. After Atsushi Onita defeated The Sheik on January 18, 1993 for
The Sheik's old United States Heavyweight Championship title The Sheik and Sabu
turned babyface and began teaming with Atsushi Onita. The Gladiator, Big Titan,
and Horace Boulder did not stay with The Sheik after that and the three formed a
group with Ricky Fuji, Dr. Luther, and Hannibal Lector called "Team
Canada".
Team Canada remained the top heel stable for most of 1993 as The Gladiator would
team with Big Titan and Ricky Fuji to defeat Tarzan Goto, Katsuji Ueda, and The
Great Punk on May 5, 1993 at Kawasaki Stadium in a Barbed wire Street Fight
after Ricky would pin Punk. Mr. Pogo would eventually return to FMW in 1993 and
take over leadership of the group. The Gladiator and Big Titan would suffer
their first loss at a Stadium show on August 22, 1993 at the Osaka Hyago
Nishnomiya Stadium after Mr. Gannosuke and Sambo Asako would defeat them after
Gannosuke would score the upset pinfall over The Gladiator. Mike would become
very good friends with Sabu while touring with him in FMW and after Sabu would
begin working for the ECW promotion in the Fall of 1993 between FMW tours he
would help get Mike booked for some shows. Mike Awesome made his debut for ECW
at the ECW Arena on December 26, 1993 for the Holiday Hell '93 show where he
defeated Randy Starr. He would also make a big impact for the February 5, 1994
ECW Arena show called "The Night the Line was Crossed" after facing
J.T. Smith. Awesome would end up doing a suicide dive over the top rope sending
the back of J.T. Smith's neck into the guard rail in a gruesome spot. Mike would
ended up being quickly rolled up by Smith afterwards, but Mike would not be done
attacking J.T. after the match and setting him up for an Awesome Splash that
would end up breaking the top rope during the dive.
Mike would continue touring for FMW through 1994 and would
team with Ricky Fuji and The Big Titan on May 5, 1994 at Kawasaki Stadium
against WAR's team of Hiromichi Fuyuki, Jado, and Gedo. A miscommunication
between The Gladiator and Big Titan during the match would see a shoving match
between the two with Ricky trying to play peacemaker. The Gladiator would have
none of it and end up pinning Gedo before walking away from his team mates. The
Gladiator would end up leaving Team Canada along with Mr. Pogo to form a new
heel group along with Goro Tsurumi, Hisakatsu Oya, and Hideki Hosaka. The group
would eventually become known as W*ING after Mitsuhiro Matsunaga and Yukihiro
Kanemura would join the group. The W*ING group would continue to feud with
Atsushi Onita and FMW until Atsushi Onita's Retirement on May 5, 1995 at
Kawasaki Stadium. Mike would end teaming with Horace Boulder to lose to
Katsutoshi Niiyama and Masato Tanaka after Niiyama would pin Boulder in a match
that would see all four men all over the stadium in front of over 58,000 fans.
Later in the show, Mr. Pogo would separate himself from the W*ING group and with
The Gladiator, Horace Boulder, Ricky Fuji, and Hisakatsu Oya form the
"Lethal Weapon" group.
After Onita's retirement, the FMW promotion would no longer focus on Death
Matches and with Hayabusa as the new ace of the promotion would focus on
wrestling ability. Since Mr. Pogo who had always been the number one heel during
his time in FMW could not be that type of wrestler that would fit Hayabusa's
style it was decided that The Gladiator would become the number one heel in the
promotion after almost five years with the company. Hayabusa and The Gladiator
had planned out many of their matches while Hayabusa stayed at Mike's house in
Tampa earlier in the year knowing they would be the two top guys after Onita's
retirement. Awesome and Hayabusa ended bringing out the very best in each others
matches as they would both battle for the FMW Brass Knuckles Title in the FMW
Grand Slam Tournament. The Gladiator would end up winning the Grand Slam
Tournament for the FMW Brass Knuckles Title against Hayabusa in the finals on
September 26, 1995. The Gladiator was now finally held a promotions top title
for the first time in his career. But due to his highflying style for a man his
size, he would end up suffering knee problems and be needed to taken some time
off. The Gladiator's partner Hisakatsu Oya would end up defending The
Gladiator's title on February 23, 1996 but would end up losing it for him as
Super Leather was now the FMW Brass Knuckles Champion. The Gladiator would have
his shot to win back his title on March 15, 1996 at the Sapporo Nakajima Sports
Center but the knee injury would still be too much to overcome as Super Leather
would focus on it the entire match and successfully defend his title. The
Gladiator would team up with Horace Boulder and Hisakatsu Oya to face the team
of Super Leather and The Headhunters for the newly created FMW 6 Man Street
Fight Tag Team Titles on May 5, 1996 at Kawasaki City that would see Super
Leather scoring the pinfall over Horace Boulder for the titles.
The Gladiator would end up coming back strong at the end of the month and
defeating Super Leather on May 27, 1996 at the Fukouka Hakata Star Lanes for the
FMW Brass Knuckles Title by defeating Super Leather with a Kamikaze Awesome
Bomb. The Gladiator and Horace Boulder would end up leaving Lethal Weapon after
attacking Ricky Fuji in a tag team match with him. Later that month he would
join up with Terry Funk and his new Funk Masters of Wrestling stable that
consisted of mostly foreigners. He would team up with Terry Funk to defeat the
team of Hayabusa and Masato Tanaka on September 24, 1996 after The Gladiator
would pin Masato Tanaka with an Awesome Bomb.
The Gladiator would then put up his Brass Knuckles Title on the line for W*ING
Kanemura's newly formed Independent Heavyweight Title on December 11, 1996 with
the winner becoming the first ever FMW Double Titles Champion. The Gladiator
would end up finishing Kanemura off with an Awesome Bomb and walking out of the
show the holder of the top two titles in FMW. Atsushi Onita would end up coming
out of retirement on the show that would eventually set up The Gladiator teaming
with Terry Funk and Cactus Jack against Onita, W*ING Kanemura, and Masato Tanaka
on April 29, 1997 at the Yokohama Arena with Kanemura getting some revenge on
The Gladiator by pinning him on the show.
Although having already defended both his titles against him earlier in the
year, Masato Tanaka would earn another shot at The Gladiator's Double Titles on
September 28, 1997 at Kawasaki Stadium. It would turn out to be the best Stadium
match of The Gladiator's FMW career as he would end up being picked up and
Awesome Bomb'd himself by Tanaka outside the ring through a table. Tanaka would
then finish The Gladiator off with a Tornado DDT to finally defeat The Gladiator
and walk away with The Gladiator's Double Titles pretty much ending The
Gladiator's two year run as a top guy in the company. The Funk Masters of
Wrestling would soon come to an end and The Gladiator would join up with Atsushi
Onita's newly formed heel group ZEN. Although The Gladiator was no longer a
focal man in a group like he had been like for so many other groups, and not
only that but the group would turn face just three months after its creation of
being the top heel group in the promotion.
He would enter into an eight man single elimination tournament for the FMW
Double Titles and would reach the finals after defeating Hisakatsu Oya and
Yukihiro Kanemura but would end up losing to Hayabusa in the finals of the
tournament on March 17, 1998.
The Gladiator's last big show FMW match would take place on April 30, 1998 at
the Yokohama Bunka Gym teaming with Tetsuhiro Kuroda against the top heel group
members of Super Leather and Horace Boulder with Boulder getting the victory
over Kuroda on the show. He would then make his Tokyo Dome debut teaming up with
fellow ZEN partners Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Hideki Hosaka against Akira Taue, Takao
Omori, and Masao Inoue on May 1, 1998 with Taue getting the pinfall victory over
Hosaka. ZEN would end up disbanding later that week and The Gladiator would
proclaim himself a free agent. He would wrestle singles matches against the
likes of Yukihiro Kanemura, Jado, Ricky Fuji, and Super Leather. He would begin
to be used in FMW's new talent exchange with ECW. He would wrestle in between
tours of FMW for ECW but this time outside of just the ECW Arena and actually
have a set feud with Masato Tanaka.
Mike Awesome would make his American Pay Per View debut on August 2, 1998
against Masato Tanaka for the Heatwave '98 show in Dayton, Ohio. They would end
up using many of the spots they had used the year prior for their Kawasaki
Stadium match including Tanaka throwing Awesome outside over the top rope
through the table before defeating Awesome in the best match of a very good
show.
Although his stock in America had just gone up, he was about to suffer a huge
blow to his career. He ended up wrestling his last FMW match on August 26, 1998
defeating Super Leather but injuring his knee seriously. He would take off the
rest of the tour and return to America. He would still try and tough it out for
his booked ECW Arena match on September 19, 1998 against Balls Mahoney but his
knee would go out once again and Awesome could no longer go anymore. He would
tell Balls to pin him right away and Awesome now had no choice but to get
reconstructive surgery and would be out for the next year.
During the year off, Awesome would decide not to return to FMW feeling it was a
much different company now with Kodo Fuyuki in charge than the promotion he had
originally believe he would stay loyal to in Atsushi Onita's FMW. The Gladiator
would return Japan but this time for the All Japan in August 1999 and would face
off against Kenta Kobashi on September 4, 1999 at Budokan Hall with Kobashi
getting the win in one of Mike's favorite matches of his career.
Mike would not stay in All Japan long as he would eventually get persuaded by
ECW owner Paul Heyman to return to ECW and would be promised the ECW Heavyweight
Title and about the same money he was making during his last run with FMW while
getting to stay in America.
Mike Awesome would end up appearing at ECW's Anarchy Rulz '99 show in Villa
Park, Illnois and making himself apart of a Taz vs. Masato Tanaka match for the
ECW Heavyweight Title on September 19, 1999. Taz would call out for Awesome to
be apart of the match with Awesome accepting. Both Awesome and Tanaka together
would make short work of Taz and eliminate him from the match. Awesome and
Tanaka would then end up having a similar match as the year before in ECW but
this time Mike Awesome getting the victory over Tanaka and becoming the ECW
Heavyweight Champion.
Mike Awesome would go on to defend the title against the likes of New Jack, Too
Cold Scorpio, Vic Grimes, Tracy Smothers, and Justin Credible before knocked off
by Tanaka would get another shot and take away his title on December 17, 1999 in
Nashville. Awesome would come back a week later on December 23, 1999 in White
Plains, New York and defeat Tanaka with a sit out Awesome Bomb off the top
turnbuckle to recapture the ECW title. Awesome would go on to team with Raven to
win the ECW Tag Team Titles from Masato Tanaka and Tommy Dreamer on March 4,
2000 at the ECW Arena. They would end up losing them a week later on March 12,
2000 in Danbury, CT. at the Living Dangerously 2000 show in a 3 Way Dance with
Tanaka pinning Awesome to eliminate his team before the team of Justin Credible
and Lance Storm would win the tag titles after Storm pinned Dreamer.
Mike would only end up making it a month later with the company before getting
frustrated that the money he was promised by Heyman was not coming through and
looked for a deal from WCW that he ended up getting. Awesome was actually
scheduled through ECW to return to FMW as Masato Tanaka's partner as a member of
ECW Japan against the team of H and Mr. Gannosuke on May 5, 2000 at the Komazawa
Olympic Gym but after Awesome would leave ECW for WCW that match would never
take place. Awesome would return to WCW for the first time in ten years after
doing TV taping matches in Atlanta back in 1990 as The Pro. He would attack
Kevin Nash in his first appearance on April 10, 2000 while still ECW Champion.
He would be forced by WCW to return to ECW one last time on April 13, 2000 in
Indianapolis with police security protecting him before losing the ECW title
quickly for the last time to the WWF's Tazz before quickly getting up and
walking out through the crowd. He would manage to defeat Masato Tanaka once
again on November 2, 1999 in Buffalo after delivering a sit out Awesome Bomb
through the table on Tanaka
Mike Awesome would make his WCW Pay Per View debut in Chicago, Illinois for the
Spring Stampede 2000 show on April 16, 2000 originally scheduled to face the
late Bam Bam Bigelow, the match would eventually turn into Awesome facing Ernest
Miller and scoring the pinfall victory. He would end up defeating Hulk Hogan on
a Nitro in one of the biggest victories of his career. Awesome would then end
being given back to back horrible gimmicks shortly after as he would become The
Fat Chick Thrilla and then That 70's Guy. Both gimmicks would be dropped soon
enough. He would enter in a one night tournament for the WCW United States title
on July 18, 2000 where he would defeat Kanyon and The Great Muta before losing
to Lance Storm in the finals. Awesome would eventually join Lance Storm's Team
Canada as it was the second time Awesome had been apart of a Team Canada in his
career. He would stay with WCW until it would be bought out by WWF in March
2001. He would make his WWF debut in June 2001 winning the WWF Hardcore Title at
Madison Square Garden in New York from Rhyno. He would make his WWF Pay Per View
debut teaming up with Lance Storm to lose to Edge and Christian at the Invasion
Pay Per View on July 22, 2001 in Cleveland, Ohio.
Awesome like many of the former WCW wrestlers would not get off on the right
foot in WWF. WWF did not allow his type of style to be shown and he was quickly
demoted to the syndicated show Jakked. He would end up suffering another knee
injury that would require surgery in October 2001. He would make his return to
WWF but in a losing role on the show Velocity where he would lose to the likes
of Yoshihiro Tajiri and Shoichi Funaki before being released in the Fall of 2002
by WWF.
He would return to All Japan for the first time in over three years for the All
Japan Real World Tournament as Mike Awesome in November 2002 teaming with PJ
Friedman although the team would only manage two points and finish in second to
last place.
He would return in January 2003 as The Gladiator
in All Japan and would get a shot at the All Japan Triple Crown on January 13,
2003 at the Osaka Prefectural Gym losing to the Great Muta after being hit with
a a Moonsault. He would then enter into the All Japan Championship Carnival that
would only be a single elimination tournament. He would end up losing to the
late John Tenta on March 22, 2003 in the first round. He would form a group with
The Giant Kimala, Jimmy Yang, and the late Gigantes. He would also compete for
local promotion MLW and would face Masato Tanaka once again on May 9, 2003 in
Orlando. He would end up wrestling his last match in All Japan on June 13, 2003
at the Aichi Prefectural Gym teaming with Gigantis and Jimmy Yang to defeat
Keiji Muto, Arashi, and Tomoaki Honma after Gigantis would pin Honma. A week
later he would win the MLW Heavyweight Champion defeating All Japan's Satoshi
Kojima on June 20, 2003 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida before losing it later in
the night to Steve Corino.
He would participate for HUSTLE-2 on March 7, 2004 at the Yokohama Arena teaming
up with Sabu and Justin Credible as a group of former ECW Heavyweight Champions
against a group of former FMW Heavyweight Champions in Masato Tanaka, Kintaro
Kanemura, and Tetsuhiro Kuroda with the former FMW team getting the win after
Tanaka would nail the rolling elbow on Credible for the win. He would then
return for HUSTLE-3 on May 8, 2004 at the Yokohama Arena teaming with Kintaro
Kanemura and Sabu against Masato Tanaka, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, and Tomoaki Honma in
a Weapons Death Match and would get the victory after delivering a Kamikaze
Awesome Bomb to Honma for the win.
The Gladiator would make his debut for Pro Wrestling NOAH on November 13, 2004
teaming with Scorpio defeating the team of Takeshi Rikio and Mohammed Yone after
Scorpio would pin Yone. The Gladiator would get his big rematch against Kenta
Kobashi for the GHC Heavyweight Championship on December 4, 2004 at the Yokohama
Bunka Gym. The match would be given over 28 minutes, but the match would also
prove that Awesome's knees just could not hold up anymore and the match would
come nowhere close to a quality of match the two had five years earlier but with
the same result as Kobashi would end putting away The Gladiator to defend the
GHC title with a moonsault. The Gladiator would wrestle in his last NOAH matchon
March 5, 2005 at Budokan Hall teaming with Bison Smith and Ace Steel defeating
Akira Taue, Yoshinari Ogawara, and Go Shiosaki with Steel pinning Shiosaki. It
would not only be his last match in NOAH but also Japan as well as the last time
as The Gladiator.
He would then be asked to take part in WWE's ECW One Night Stand and take on his
most famous opponent Masato Tanaka on June 12, 2005 in Manhattan, New York for
the ECW One Night Stand Pay Per View in what turn out to be his last match
against Tanaka as well as his last televised match. Mike Awesome and Masato
Tanaka would once again end up having the best match on a very good show as
Awesome would eventually put away Tanaka throwing him over the top rope once
again through the table and then diving over the top rope to the outside on
Tanaka. Awesome would injure his knee on the dive and the match would be forced
to end with Awesome getting the pin over Tanaka outside the ring. It would be
Mike Awesome's final shining moment of his pro wrestling career with the crowd
going crazy one last time for his moves.
Mike Awesome would announce in 2006 that he was retiring from pro wrestling and
would be selling real estate and spend time with his family in Florida. He would
turn down an offer to appear again at WWE's ECW One Night Stand in June 2006 due
to his knee not being able in the condition to have a match with. Mike Alfonso
would be found dead on February 17, 2007 at his Tampa home after committing
suicide by hanging himself. He was 42.
