WCW career
After a career as a karate tournament competitor, Miller was brought into WCW by Eric Bischoff. Miller was a karate instructor and was teaching Bischoff's son, when Bischoff asked him to become a wrestler.
He started out as Glacier's tag team partner in his feud with Mortis and Wrath. He soon left Glacier and became a heel with Sonny Onoo as his manager. He was most often a heel but he had turned face and was the WCW Commissioner in 2000. He began the storyline as a heel but eventually turned face due to the high fan reaction he was getting whenever he entered an arena. He was feuding with Ric Flair's Magnificent Seven group when WCW was purchased by Vince McMahon.
He appeared in some World Wrestling Allstars shows before going to the WWF.
WWF/WWE career
He served as a wrestler and an announcer for Velocity before he was released from the WWE on February 10, 2004.
