it's interesting how butch in particular kept taking several years off from wrestling but never stopped being successful. a key reason why the wwf bushwackers ever happened in the first place. it's too bad that didn't open more eyes to the possibility

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Sheepherder Butch Miller

drat, it’s so sad that it happened after coming over for wrestlecon. I hope he at least he got to see a lot of fans and wrestlers who had great things to say to/about him all weekend.

If his surname rings a bell, it's because he was Big Daddy's brother.

Luke talking about Butch passing:

"Late last night, I lost my friend, brother and tag team partner of over 50 years with the passing of Bob "Butch" Miller. My heart goes out to his wife Helen, his lovely daughters Sharon and Kirsten and all of his grandchildren. From the early-1970s when we were young mates wrestling for John da Silva in New Zealand, my first impression of Bob "The Chest" Miller (as he was called in those days) was that he was a first-class redneck, and what bloody redneck he was! But he was also an all-around good guy and a great friend. By the time we reached our mid-20s, we found ourselves traveling the world together, from New Zealand to Australia to Malaysia, Singapore and Japan, before "invading" the North American territories in Canada and the United States as The Sheepherders. In 1988 we were in our 40s and still at the top of our game when we got a call from the offices in Connecticut with an offer to join the largest and fastest growing wrestling promotion in the world, the WWF/E- The Bushwhackers were born! As The Bushwhackers we appeared in the largest venues in the world, in front the the biggest crowds professional wrestling had ever seen! And we were eventually honored by our fans and peers with our inclusion in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015 and the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2020. We did it all, we saw it all, and we accomplished it all together. This past weekend in Los Angeles, Bob flew in from New Zealand to join me for Wrestlemania weekend and the related festivities, neither of us knowing it would be our last days together and his last days of life. If you were to read the story of my life it would say that I am only child, but it would be wrong. In life I had a brother and his name was Bob Miller. I love you, Bob. Until I see you again, WOOOOAHH YEEEEAAHH!"

Fifty years. Man.

Still one of the greatest independent wrestling stories for my crew was when a booked Sheiky baby was so hammered and high he refused to get out of the car and screamed at the workers and fans outside for a half hour. It's on youtube somewhere from an ontario show like 15-20 years ago but gently caress if I can find it. STILL kicking myself for deciding to work OT and miss a free ride to this....

I do not mean to make light of this thread, but what I enjoy the most going through it is the celebration of people with some of the wildest names you've ever heard. There's genuine loss and remembrance for Bushwhacker Bush and Piss Jug Mike. I love that.

It hurts to lose Iron Sheik, but at least he gets to spend some time away from that jabroni Hulk Hogan. He can't hurt you now.

I think this is the same one where Sheik is smoking what Nash described as the biggest joint he's ever seen and he tells Sheik to maybe be a little more discreet about it and Sheik just tells him to gently caress off.
