Mikey Whipwreck Stops All Appearances Due To Medical & Mental Issues

Mikey Whipwreck has plenty of fans who would love to meet him at an event. He will be much harder to see because the ECW legend is no longer appearing in public.

Whipwreck logged onto Twitter where he released a statement saying that all public appearances are stopping from this point on. He attributed this decision to medical and mental reasons. He also wants to spend more time with his family during this time.

I want everyone to know…I’m not stopping all public appearances after this weekend out of anger or bitterness. I could go in to a long drawn out explanation (some people already know the details) but I’ll ‘try’ to keep it somewhat short. Firstly, I have enjoyed being home with my family everyday. I never thought I’d be the type but I hate leaving them even for an overnight trip. I’ve had enough of my kids crying when I pack a bag.

Now for some of the sh—- reasons (all medical/mental)

1. Can’t drive at night anymore

2. Crippling social anxiety

3. I have a hard time hearing and it’s embarrassing, even if it shouldn’t be. If I say “what” to my wife one more time she may strangle me.

4. I’m fat. We all know this and it’s embarrassing, even if it shouldn’t be. Yes, I hear the Butterbean comments at conventions. lol.

5. I get confused easily. It’s happened where I’ll eat around for 20-30 minutes in a store with no recollection of what I was doing or where I was.

6. I stumble over my words quite often and get lost about what I was trying to say or what the topic was.

7. I have pretty intense mood swings. I’m able to mostly keep them in check but sometimes it’s a big challenge.

8. I’m beginning to stutter and stammer a lot. It’s embarrassing, even if it shouldn’t be.

9. I have major migraines practically every day for 6-8 hours. Behind my right eye and it’s getting harder and harder to deal with. It’s worn me down over the years and it sucks. Keep in mind I’ve had 14 concussions (that I remember) & they could very well be playing a huge part in all this. Or they may have nothing to do with it. I’m leaning towards yes, but honestly it’s probably a combination of things.

My wife is a saint and I can’t thank her enough for her love and patience in dealing with me. All things considered, I’m blessed beyond words and thankful for her and the kids.
