Mike Mondo

Raymond Michael "Mike" Brendli (born March 26, 1983) is an American professional wrestler who performs for Ohio Valley Wrestling in development with World Wrestling Entertainment as Mike Mondo, formerly a member of the disbanded Spirit Squad on the RAW brand.

Career
Brendli first became known on the independent circuit as "Livewyre", occasionally competing under a mask as both El Mondo and El Livewyre.

Brendli signed a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) developmental contract in February 2005. He was sent to their "farm territory" Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). First he acted as a manager, then became a full time wrestler and a member of Bolin Services led by Kenny "The King" Bolin.

WWE Raw
Eventually he left Bolin Services and became a member of The Spirit Squad, competing in OVW before debuting on RAW. The Squad would become closely associated with The McMahons and would feud with DX and Ric Flair, as well as hold the World Tag Team Championship as a team. Soon enough, the team split with unlikely differences, and only Kenny stayed on Raw, while Mikey and the others were released. Mikey went to OVW.

Brendli appeared on the January 17th OVW taping along with Nick Nemeth as the Frat Pack and teamed with Mike Kruel in a match against Seth Skyfire, Shawn Spears, and Cody Runnels.
