Brett J. Keen (November 7, 1972 – April 9, 2011), better known by the ring name Chip Fairway, was an American professional wrestler. One of the top cruiserweight wrestlers in the Midwestern United States during the mid-to-late 1990s, his in-ring persona as a pro golfer turned wrestler was considered one of the most unusual "gimmicks" on the independent circuit.
Trained by wrestler Les Thatcher, Keen made his wrestling debut in December 1996. He worked for the Heartland Wrestling Association twice winning the HWA Tag Team Championship with Cody Hawk as part of The Surf 'N' Turf Connection. Keen was a close friend of Brian Pillman and regularly performed at the Brian Pillman Memorial Shows. He was an occasional preliminary wrestler for World Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation.
Keen was also a major star in IWA Mid-South where he won the IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Championship two times and the IWA Mid-South Television Championship three times. His long-running rivalry with IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Champion Bull Pain was a prominent storyline in the promotion's history as well as one of the biggest feuds on the Midwestern independent circuit. From 1998 to 2001, Keen was part of The Old School Posse with GQ Masters III, Sean Casey, Shark Boy, and manager Dutch Mantell which antagonized the promotion's hardcore wrestlers for several years.
