Michael "Mike" Enos (born June 11, 1963) is an American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with the American Wrestling Association, the World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling in the late 1980s and 1990s.
Mike Enos started wrestling in the late 1980s after being trained by Eddie Sharkey signing with the AWA due to trainer Eddie Sharkey’s connections in the federation. Early on Enos worked mainly as a referee but slowly got more and more bookings as a wrestler. Early on he was billed as "The Construction Worker" Mike Enos. That name was soon replaced by “Mean” Mike Enos as he teamed up with fellow rookie Wayne "The Train" Bloom to form The Destruction Crew. The Destruction Crew was managed by Johnny Valiant. In the fall of 1989 the Destruction Crew challenged then AWA World Tag Team champions Ken Patera and Brad Rheingans to a "car lifting" contest. During the challenge the Destruction Crew attacked Patera and Rhenigans and injured them (Storyline) and forced them to vacate the tag team titles.
A tournament was set up to crown new tag team champions. In the tournament, the Destruction Crew would defeat the team of Sgt. Slaughter and Baron von Raschke in the first round and then beat Greg Gagne and Paul Diamond in the finals to win the titles. That victory combined with their devious tactics earned the duo a joint Rookie of the Year award from the readers of Pro Wrestling Illustrated, which is the only time a tag team has won the award.
