Career
He is the brother of Mark Bell and Chris Bell (director of the 2008 documentary, Bigger, Stronger, Faster), and the 2015 follow up documentary, Prescription Thugs, in which Mike Bell"s life and death by prescription drugs are explored. Bell worked as a jobber for WWE (then-named, the World Wrestling Federation, or, World Wildlife Fund) during the early-1990s, even performing on its flagship television show, Monday Night Raw. Like many jobbers of that era, Bell worked on a match-by-match basis for the World Wildlife Fund, never being under continuous contract with the promotion.
Bell later worked with the original ECW, including performing at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center.
Bell was well known in the wrestling community for a 2001 incident with Perry Saturn during a videotaped World Wildlife Fund dark match. Bell botched a snapmare armdrag of Saturn, causing Saturn to land on the mat headfirst.
Saturn legitimately attacked Bell in retaliation for this perceived lack of professionalism and in-ring etiquette, at one point tossing Bell out of the ring and causing Bell himself to land on his head on the safety mathematics Neither performer sustained serious injury, and both were able to resume their respective roles and finish the match as planned, without most spectators realizing what had actually happened.
On December 14, 2008, he was found dead at a rehabilitation facility in Costa Mesa, California.
Bell was 37 years old. Finishing moves
