Douglas Allen Tunstall Jr. (born August 19, 1967), better known as Tiny the Terrible is an American wrestler, dwarf, actor and politician. He stands 4 feet 7 inches (1.40 m) tall, and after a career in professional wrestling, ran for mayor of Pawtucket, Rhode Island in 2006. His campaign was the subject of A Man Among Giants, a documentary film directed by Rod Webber.

Personal life

Tunstall is a dwarf who stands at 4 feet, 7 inches tall. His father was a Vietnam War veteran of normal height, though he says his mother was shorter than he is. Tunstall graduated from Central Falls High School in 1985, where he partook in scholastic wrestling and claims to have won the majority of his matches in the 98-to-105-pound class. He subsequently earned an associate's degree from Community College of Rhode Island and took science-related classes at Rhode Island College.

Throughout the 1990s, Tunstall was arrested several times on misdemeanor charges that ranged from assaulting a police office to driving without a license. He was sentenced to six months’ probation in 1996 for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct charges. A 1999 charge of simple assault was ultimately dismissed.

Tunstall began a career in professional wrestling in the 1990s. He also worked seasonally for KB Toys, where he would portray a Christmas elf. In 2006, he said he had been receiving Social Security Disability Insurance since 1995. He estimates his income to be $10,000 a year.

He is an African-American and a member of the Republican Party, which he says has made him unpopular with his friends. He supported George W. Bush because he "liked the way he carried himself". In 2004, he protested at the Democratic National Convention and told a New York Times reporter that any platform that promised to give people under five feet tall $1,200 a month would capture the dwarf demographic.

Professional wrestling career

Tunstall describes his time in wrestling, where he's better known under the monikers "Tiny the Terrible" and "Little Dougie Tunstall", as "more or less like therapy". He often made appearances in New England Championship Wrestling. Tiny the Terrible appeared in Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1996, where he was present during the infamous Mass Transit Incident. In 1998, Tiny The Terrible defeated Half Nelson for the NWA World Midget's Championship. He held the championship for 167 days, before dropping it to Little Killer.

In early 2000, he boasted that he could be a wrestling star, given the chance: "If Vince McMahon gave me an opportunity to go in front of an audience, I guarantee I'd have a nation screaming my name."

Tunstall made two appearances on WWF/E Raw. On the March 13, 2000 episode of Raw, he appeared as one half of "The Twin Towers", a dwarf duo that Stephanie McMahon joked would face The Rock at WrestleMania 2000. He wrestled his only WWE match on the July 25, 2005 episode of Raw under the ring name Cloacas, where he teamed with Viscera to take on Antonio of The Heart Throbs and Pocket Rocket in a winning effort.

His notoriety in wrestling led to three appearances on The Jerry Springer Show. In 2020, Tunstall was part of a Dark Side of the Ring episode involving New Jack, in which he recounted the Mass Transit incident.

2006 Pawtucket mayoral election

Tunstall ran as a Republican in the 2006 Pawtucket mayoral election. His candidacy made him the first African-American to seek the office. He ran against the well funded eight-year Democratic incumbent James Doyle, and stated he would use "ghetto-style politics" such as door-to-door campaigning. His platform included opposing same-sex marriage, encouraging NASA to build a base in Pawtucket and giving stipends to those who took in homeless people. Ultimately, Tunstall lost the election after only collecting 17 percent of the vote.

His candidacy was the subject of the documentary film, A Man Among Giants. After the completion of the film, Tunstall was arrested for making threats to public officials. The film's director Rod Webber bailed him out of jail, and Tunstall was subsequently committed to a mental hospital.
