Michael Davis (November 2, 1956–December 26, 2001) was an American professional wrestler best known as DJ of the tag team Rock 'n' Roll RPMs with Tommy Lane which lasted several years. The RPM's were one of the most well-known heel tag teams throughout the southern United States in promotions such as World Class. They were known for their bright colored tights and hanging bandanas. The Rock 'n' Roll RPMs were glorified for their finishing move "the Spandex Splits". The move was later outlawed due to extensive neck injuries.
After leaving World Class, Davis and Lane moved on to World Championship Wrestling. Davis later entered the Global Wrestling Federation, where in 1992, he claimed to have returned to Earth with a "Moon Rock" after he made a bungee jump following a "Bungee" match between Chaz Taylor and Steven Dane outside the Dallas Sportatorium.
Davis died on December 25, 2001 from a massive heart attack in Granbury, Texas, at the age of 45.
