'''Heath Miller''' (b. 1983) is an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er from Pineville, WV currently signed to Wrestling/{{WWE}} as '''Heath Slater.''' He debuted in 2004 in the Georgia wrestling scene. In 2006, he signed a developmental deal with WWE and was assigned to their short-lived Deep South Wrestling promotion. When [=DSW=] was abandoned in 2007, Miller was sent down to Florida Championship Wrestling. In 2010, he was introduced to WWE audiences as Heath Slater as part of the first class of "rookies" on ''Wrestling/{{WWE NXT}}'', which, of course, led to the debut of Wrestling/TheNexus. After that group broke up, he spent time in Wrestling/WadeBarrett's group the Corre. Presently, he is the leader of [[Wrestling/ThreeMB [=3MB=]]]. Among his in-ring achievements, he is a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/fl/fcw/fcw-s-h.html FCW Southern Heavyweight Champion]], a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/fl/fcw/fcw-fl-h.html FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion]], a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/fl/fcw/fcw-fl-t.html FCW Florida Tag Team Champion]] with [[Wrestling/CurtisAxel Joe Hennig (Michael [=McGillicutty=][=/=]Curtis Axel)]], and a 3x [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-t.html WWE Tag Team Champion]] with Wrestling/JustinGabriel.


As usual, you can find the basics at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heath_Slater The Other Wiki]].

!!! "The One Trope Southern Rock Band":
* BreakupBreakout: Arguable, as he has yet to win a singles title in WWE.
* ButtMonkey: Most of his 2011-2012 run. As of summer 2012, looks like he's finally moving up the ladder.
* {{Cancellation}}: He defeated Scotty Beach for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ga/gcw/gcw-tv.html GCW Television Championship]] on June 6, 2006, which was renamed the GCW Columbus Heavyweight Title since GCW no longer had a TV show.

* TheDarkChick: Within the FiveBadBand structure of the Nexus.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Twice with Justin Gabriel.
* DeepSouth: Tries to imitate a lot of the stereotypes. Problem is, he's from West Virginia, which isn't really "south" at all.
* TheEnforcer: For the Corre
* EvilRedhead: [[Wrestling/JohnCena That]] Chick From Wendy's.
* FieryRedhead
* FinishingMove: Sweetness.
** MusicalThemeNaming: Smash Hit, E Minor
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Justin Gabriel. Well, at least until he proclaimed that their tag team was over.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: On the 1000th episode of Raw, he challenged any Legend to a no DQ, no count out match. Wrestling/{{Lita}} answered the challenge. Although she did hire herself some protection. Enter the [[Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield AP]][[Wrestling/RonSimmons A!]] Heath decided to bail, but was stopped by all the other Legends he'd gone up against, who promptly threw him back in the ring and one Twist of Fate and a Clothesline from Hell later, Lita was victorious.
* IHaveManyNames: He has also used Sebastian Slater and Heath Wallace Miller Esq.
* InformedAbility: We're consistently informed by Michael Cole that he's a talented musician. We have yet to see any evidence of this.
* {{Jerkass}}
* [=PermaStubble=]: Ginger [=PermaStubble=], to boot.
* PowerStable: The Nexus and the Corre
* RedBaron: "The One-man Rock Band." Despite his comparatively low importance, this is mentioned on any occasion he's competing in the ring.
** Recently christened "The One-Man Southern Rock Band".
* RunningGag: He picked up a gimmick during RAW, for the upcoming 1000th episode, by cutting promos, only to have a legend come out and kick his ass or otherwise humiliate him. His only victory was against Wrestling/DoinkTheClown [[note]]Who, according to inside sources, was played by [[Wrestling/SteveLombardi the Brooklyn Brawler.]][[/note]] ...even ''that'' didn't end well, though.
** GenreSavvy: He got savvy enough that he expected to be in a match with a legend as the weeks went by. Was a bit WrongGenreSavvy when he was on ''[=SmackDown!=]'', feeling he was safe, since all his encounters with the legends had been on ''Raw''. Enter [[Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors Road Warrior Animal]].
*** And again he issue another challenge to current superstar. Wrestling/RandyOrton returns.
* TagTeam: [=3MB=]
* TalkShowWithFists: "The Happy Hour," in FCW.
* UnderwearOfPower: He now wears pants.
* VillainTeamUp: With Jinder Mahal and Drew [=McIntyre=] as the 3 Man Band.
* TheVillainSucksSong: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIB8G7NEvms I hate you, Heath Slater!]]
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Slater (who had endured a run of getting embarrassed by several weeks worth of over-the-hill returning legends) finally got a win against Doink the Clown. Then an audio cue hit... '''[[Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage "BANG!!"]]''' Out comes DDP, ostensibly to congratulate Slater on finally winning a match. Instead, Slater eats a Diamond Cutter.
