Career Highlights

They also had a manager during this feud to counteract the manager of The Alaskans (George Harris), former CWF wrestler and referee Johnny King..
  • Ron Miller & Larry O’Dea (Larry Davies) held the Austra-Asian tag titles together 5 times after returning from a stint in the US where they held the Florida tag belts 4 times as the “Australians”, Miller also held the Austra-Asian tag title with another Aussie Johnny Gray as well as Andre the Giant, they were the last holders, O’Dea also held it with Bobby Hart (twice), Ed Wisowski & Rick Martel.
  • Individually Miller held the Austra-Asian title 4 times at the expense of Great Mephisto, Ernie Ladd, Killer Karl Krupp & Butcher Brannigan as well as the junior heavyweight title once from Bobby Hart & the brass knucks title 4 times from Mephisto, George Barnes, Bruiser Brody & Bulldog Brower while O’Dea held the brass knucks title once from Cyclone Negro & the TV title 3 times (the TV title was only contested during ’76 so it was pretty much his toy). Miller was a Sgt in the Air Force when he first began wrestling professionally & was billed for several years as Sgt Ronny Miller.
  • In ’78 Bruiser Brody suffered a rare pinfall loss to Miller while challenging for the Austra-Asian title & Miller had two shots at Harley Race’s NWA world title both ending in draws.
