Things could have changed, but Mike didn't use drugs or drink alcohol. I remember countless times offering Mike a beer at hotel bars after shows and he always refused, until he finally told me one time he didn't drink. He was also never present at the many drug fueled parties I attended with other ECW guys. He was a really bright and sensitive guy, and if you never watched wrestling you would be amazed the high spots he could pull off being such a big guy. I remember being at a show in Buffalo at the Burt Flickenger Center when everyone found out that Mike took a contract from WCW and wasn't coming back, but still had the ECW belt. I was pretty pissed off at him at the time but I look back now and realize Paul Heyman had bounced checks and flat out not paid guys, and you couldn't blame Mike for doing what was best for his family. RIP Mike you will be missed.
