Michael Howell (born December 9, 1968) is an American professional wrestler best known by his ring name Mike Maverick and Jack Dupp.
[citation needed] The pair also began wrestling in the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA), which was founded by The Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff).
[citation needed] SCW would mark the end of the Serial Thrillaz, as Helms vacated both titles before moving on to NWA Worldwide.
[citation needed] It was during this period that Happer, along with Maverick and Cham Pain, sent a tape to Extreme Championship Wrestling which introduced themselves as "a family of rednecks from Lizard Lick, North Carolina, named 'The Dupps'".
[7] On October 29, 1999, The Dupps wrestled David "Kid" Cash and Super Nova at the Packard Music Hall in Warren, Ohio.
[8] The trio eventually forfeited the SCW tag team belts, and Happer the heavyweight title, and left for ECW a month later.
[20][21] The Dupps also faced teams such as Spellbinder and Bulldog Raines, Alan Steel and Blade Boudreaux, and Joey Abs and Lance Cade.
They briefly regained the tag titles from Spanky and Shooter Schultz, the latter taking the place of The American Dragon, in Corinth, Mississippi, on January 13, 2001.
[10][22] After the breakup of the Dupps, Maverick changed his name to Mike Hard in Ohio Valley Wrestling which was a WWF developmental territory.
