DOA, also known as Leroy "Tiny" Miller, was born on October 14, 1962. Standing 6', 6" and weighing over 500 lbs. at one point, with his tattooed skull and arms, Tiny was already a local legend before he began wrestling in 1995. Miller trained under the guidance of Max Thrasher and began wrestling in West Virginia and Virginia area as "The Widowmaker". He faced stars such as Morgus the Maniac, Thomas "Inch Worm" Rodman (from ECW's blue World order) and WCW TV star Bobby Starr. After taking the moniker DOA, the imposing star began wrestling in Maryland and crossed paths with stars like Yokozuna. In 1999, DOA teamed with Tommy Hawk to win the Mason-Dixon Wrestling Tag Team Championship in Charles Town, West Virginia. He would also hold those title with Switchblade in a "Freebirds" style trio. DOA's last match was on May 20, 2000 as he won a Revolution Rumble on a Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation card in Martinsburg, West Virginia. After the match, fans filled the ring in celebration in a truly memorable moment.
He passed away on June 23, 2000 following complications with knee surgery. His memory lives on with those that knew him and Primal Conflict Wrestling will honor him each year with the annual DOA Memorial Cup Revolution Rumble and as the first inductee into the Hall of Honor.
