Biography:
Never underestimate Mike Bailey.
On the surface, he seems like a mild-mannered guy with a quaint background. Growing up in French-speaking Quebec, Canada, Mike Bailey fell in love with professional wrestling after watching Kane try to set his opponent on fire during a segment on Monday Night RAW. But it wasn’t the supernatural element that drove him to pursue professional wrestling and martial arts as a profession. It was the countless afternoons and evenings wrestling his older brother on a stack of twin mattresses in their bedroom that ignited his love for the sport. And deep down it was the feeling that all he’d ever be happy doing is wrestling and fighting. He never did pay attention much in school, but he applied himself enough so that he could eventually pursue the physical outlet of fighting, which brought him so much joy.
You see, Mike Bailey wanted to do something he never saw his parents do. His mother was a meek housewife doing the best she could to keep up with rowdy kids. And his father was an intellectual who spent most of his life wheelchair bound. They taught him the strength of a family bond and to exercise the mind as much as the body. But ultimately, he saw professional wrestling as a way for him to leave a mark on the world that no one in his family ever could.
As Mike Bailey aged into the sport, he brought decades of Taekwondo, where he earned a black belt. He loved the power and discipline the martial arts taught him, as well as the edge it gave him as a professional wrestler. Physically, he can do so much more than your typical grappler. Just watch one match with “Speedball” Mike Bailey and you can tell that he’s just built different.
There’s no man as intense as Mike Bailey. It can be off putting to those who don’t know and understand him. But those who love and follow him admire the intensity he brings to his relentlessly persistent pursuit for greatness.
For too long “Speedball” Mike Bailey has been the best kept secret in professional wrestling. With his imminent arrival in the EWA, that all changes very soon. From this point forward, the EWA and professional wrestling will never be the same again because Mike Bailey is destined to change everything.
