From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Michael Depoli, aka Roadkill "The Angry Amish Warrior", is a professional wrestler who started with Extreme Championship Wrestling. As the nickname implies, his wresting gear is traditional Amish dress and he is billed as being from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, an area of large Amish population.

Career

Roadkill was trained by Taz and Mikey Whipwreck at the ECW House of Hardcore in 1996. Once his training was complete, he joined the ECW roster, and had his first professional match on October 18, 1996 in LuLu Temple in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania against Taz.

In December 1997, Roadkill formed an unlikely tag team with his fellow House of Hardcore graduate, Danny Doring. They were managed by Miss Congeniality until she left ECW in 1999 to join the World Wrestling Federation, and then by Elektra until she turned on them in 2000.

Doring and Roadkill quickly embarked on a two year long feud with Nova and Chris Chetti. This was followed by a series of feuds with the Impact Players (Lance Storm and Justin Credible), Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger, Joey Matthews and Christian York and then Tommy Dreamer and Raven. The team won the ECW World Tag Team Championships on August 26, 2000, at the Massacre on 34th Street pay-per-view, defeating Tony Mamaluke and Little Guido. They held the titles until ECW declared bankruptcy in March 2001, and were permitted to keep the title belts of lieu of fees they were owed.

After leaving ECW, Doring and Roadkill made appearances with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, and wrestled dark matches for World Wrestling Entertainment. Roadkill now wrestles for 3PW.

Roadkill appeared at the WWE promoted ECW reunion show, ECW One Night Stand on June 12, 2005. He is currently receiving try-out matches for the WWE Smackdown! Brand.
