Mike Hallick is a former professional wrestler best known for his stint in the World Wrestling Federation as The Mantaur.
The Mantaur gimmick involved Hallick dressing as a bull. Mantaur's arsenal included charging, mauling and mooing at opponents. His finisher was The Stampede, an avalanche. The Mantaur was managed by Jim Cornette.
Mantaur made his WWF TV debut in January 1995. He wrestled in his only pay-per-view match at the 1995 Royal Rumble and lasted almost 10 minutes in the Royal Rumble match before being eliminated by Lex Luger. His last appearance on WWE TV was the July 1995 In Your House event from Nashville in which he was a lumberjack for the Kevin Nash vs. Psycho Sid world title match.
During his brief stint in the promotion he wrestled such superstars as Duke Droese, Razor Ramon, Bret Hart, Man Mountain Rock and Bob Holly, losing to most.
Hallick would later work in the USWA and WWF as Tank, a member of The Truth Commission. He also wrestled as Bruiser Mastino during his late 1995 stint in ECW, and Terminator Mastino.
