Robert Miller (wrestler)
Robert Miller was a professional wrestler best known as Butch Miller. He was one half of the tag team variously known as "The Sheepherders" and The Bushwackers.
Career
Robert Miller was born on October 21, 1944 in Auckland, New Zealand. He started wrestling in 1964 in New Zealand and formed the "Kiwi Sheepherders" with Luke Williams in Canada in 1965. They wrestled for Stu Hart's Calgary promotion and won their tag team titles.
In the 1970's, Butch quit the team and went to Australia His biggest success without Luke was when he teamed with Larry O'Day as "The Australians".
He returned to team with Luke as "The Sheepherders" in the United States in the early 1980's and they feuded with Mark and Chris Youngblood, "The Fantastics" (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) and the "Fabulous Ones" (Stan Lane & Steve Keirn).
In late 1988, The Sheepherders were on the verge of winning the NWA United States Tag Team Titles when they quit Jim Crockett Promotions for a better money offer from the World Wrestling Federation. They changed their name to "The Bushwackers" and changed their violent style to a comedic style and were instant hits with the fans.
They had feuds with the Brain Busters, "The Bolsheviks" (Boris Zhukov & Nikolai Volkoff), the Beverly Brothers (Mike Enos & Wayne Bloom) and the Rougeau Brothers (Jacques Jr. & Raymond Rougeau).
They left in late 1995 and opened up a restaurant and wrestled on the independent circuit. They returned to the WWF in 2001 for the gimmick battle royal at WrestleMania X-Seven.
Butch is now retired and living in New Zealand where he is a contributing writer for a wrestling website.
