Michael Bell (March 18, 1971 – December 14, 2008) was an American professional wrestler who worked for World Wrestling Entertainment and Extreme Championship Wrestling as Mike "Mad Dog" Bell.[1]
Bell worked as a jobber for WWE during the late 1990's and appeared on Monday Night Raw.[2] He later worked with ECW and appeared at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center.
Bell was well known amongst the wrestling community after an incident with professional wrestler Perry Saturn during a WWE dark match. During the match, Bell dropped Perry on his head in a mistimed move - and Perry reacted by kicking Bell and then throwing him out of the ring (during which Bell sustained a heavy injury to his neck). Saturn then preceded to throw Bell into a set of metal stairs, further injuring him.
Bell, who had a history with substance abuse, was featured in the documentary "Bigger, Stronger, Faster" along with his two brothers.[2]
Bell was found dead at a rehabilitation facility in Costa Mesa, California.[3]
