"The IceMan" Jason Michaels
"The IceMan" Jason Michaels is an American professional wrestler in various local promotions around North Carolina.

Career
"The IceMan" Jason Michaels began wrestling in high school at the age of fifteen. His wrestling coach, Danny Fritz, happened to be a professional wrestler and told the young Jason Michaels that he had something to build on in pro wrestling if he was interested. As he began growing in amateur wrestling, he became disenchanted with it and began to veer more toward the dramatic world of professional wrestling. The only trouble is, Jason Michaels had a disadvantage in the squared circle. Being only 5'7" tall and 145 lbs, he was dwarfed by almost everyone he ever wrestled. Jason Michaels made his in-ring debut on August 6th 2000 with SCWA (Stokes County Wrestling Alliance). He lost, or did the job, in his first outing against his then partner, "The Phenomenal" Billy J. Later that evening, Michaels was eliminated in a battle royal. He has been quoted saying, "The promoter charged me $35 and I got $9 back at the end of the night. So, basically, I spent $26 bucks to get my ass kicked twice in one night. Good times." After running with SCWA for about a year and establishing the tag-team, The New Breed with Billy J, the company folded, leaving Michaels nowhere to work. This sabbatical gave Michaels time to train some more and hone his in-ring skills. With no promotion looking to take a chance on the diminutive grappler, his career seemed over before it really got started. Seven years after making his debut,on May 9th 2008 Jason Michaels, along with a hodge podge assembly of talent, formed FCW (Freestyle Championship Wrestling) and presented FCW WrestleWar 2008 It was there that Jason met his mentor, George South. The NWA legend was always there for Michaels giving him advice on everything from wrestling politics, booking, and working, to Christ, salvation, and how to be a Christan in the world of professional wrestling. A year would go by before Michaels would lace his boots up again. On February 20th 2009 FCW WrestleWar 2009 came back to Arcadia, North Carolina. No one cared. Seven days later, Michaels had gotten himself booked for a promotion in Lexington, North Carolina called ASWA (All Star Wrestling Alliance) that was owned and operated by Matt Houston and Donald York. This organization is where "The IceMan" began to get noticed. Fans cheered him or booed him with a passion. If "The IceMan" Jason Michaels was wrestling there, money was going to be made. George South was quoted telling Michaels, "When you came out there to watch the rest of the show, you thought Sting showed up or something." He also said of Michaels' New Breed stable, "Will you and the nWo go sit down, you're hogging all the heat!" After a year of working with ASWA, Michaels ran another show in Winston-Salem, North Carolina under the name CFCW (Carolina Freestyle Championship Wrestling) called Full Throttle. This is what Michaels considers to be his best match ever. He was in a triple threat match with Matt Houston, and his mentor, Mr. #1 George South for the CFCW World Championship. "I consider this to be my test." Jason says. "These guys are two of the best I've seen. If I can hang with them, I can hang with anyone." And hang he did, leaving Full Throttle the CFCW Worlds Champion. After a falling out with Matt Houston at a USIWF (United States Independent Wrestling Federation) show, Michaels and Houston parted ways permanently. These days, "The IceMan" Jason Michaels is working with several different organizations, EWA (Empire Wrestling Alliance) out of Elkin, North Carolina, and Southern Wrestling out of Pilot Mountain, North Carolina to name a couple.
