Michael DePoli is an American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances in Extreme Championship Wrestling under the ring name Amish Roadkill, where he wore traditional Amish dress and was billed from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, an area with a large Amish population. Roadkill was trained by Taz and Perry Saturn at the 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, "Dastardly" Danny Doring. They were managed by Miss Congeniality until she left ECW in 1999 to join WWE, 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, 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 December 3, 2000, at the Massacre on 34th Street pay-per-view, defeating Tony Mamaluke and Little Guido. They held the titles until ECW declared bankruptcy on April 4, 2001. Doring and Roadkill were the last team to hold the ECW Tag Team Titles. Roadkill made an appearance in 2001 on The Real World: Back to New York, confronting cast member Mike Mizanin's wrestling character The Miz, while in the Amish Roadkill character, about his wrestling antics.
