Biography

    • Deceased New Zealander professional wrestler known for his work as a member of the tag team the Sheepherders in Mid-South Wrestling, Championship Wrestling from Florida and other promotions and as the Bushwhackers in WWE. Debuted in his native New Zealand in 1964 and formed the team with Luke Williams (Brian Wickens) in 1965. They would compete all over the world, including for Stampede Wrestling, WWC (World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico), All Japan Pro Wrestling, Continental Wrestling Association (Memphis), numerous NWA territories, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and others. After years of working as violent foreign heels with one bloody brawl after another, they arrived in WWE in late 1988 as the Bushwhackers, working face for the first time in their careers. They would compete for WWE into 1996 before going to the independents, eventually splitting in 2001, with Miller retiring that same year. Among their in-ring achievements, they were 2x Stampede Wrestling International Tag Team Champions, 3X NWA PNW (Pacific Northwest) Tag Team Champions, 1x NWA Florida Tag Team Champions, 2x WWC World Tag Team Champions, 2x UWF World Tag Team Champions and were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015.
