Elix Skipper (born December 15, 1967) is an American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling, where he was a one-time Cruiserweight Champion and a one-time Cruiserweight Tag Team Champion, and with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, where he was a four-time NWA World Tag Team Champion.
Before becoming a wrestler, Skipper participated in kickboxing. Upon deciding to become a wrestler, he resigned from his job as a store manager of McDonald's in Long Island and traveled to Atlanta, Georgia to audition at the WCW Power Plant, the professional wrestling school operated by World Championship Wrestling.
Upon being accepted by the Power Plant, Skipper began his training, debuting in 1999 at an independent show. After training for eight months, Skipper made his television debut on an episode of Saturday Night. Seven months later, Skipper began wrestling on Thunder and Nitro under the ring name Skip Over, facing members of the cruiserweight division and fellow Power Plant graduates.
