wm011 The Bushwackers

Formerly the ultra-violent team of the Sheepherders, Butch and Luke were a pair of evil New Zealanders who helped put barbed wire matches on the map in the US in the 80s. When brought to the WWF though they became the fun loving Bushwackers. They marched, licked, and loved their way into the hearts of children all across the USA, enlightening our generation on exactly what Aussie culture was like. While they were never a particularly successful team (and on his own Luke set the record for the shortest Royal Rumble appearance at the time at 4 seconds), the Bushwackers were popular with the fans and promoted pretty heavily. They were really more of a comedy/special attraction sort of team, which I tried to reflect in their piece. They have a couple special powers to represent their hijinx, although a pretty sad dial otherwise. For your viewing pleasure, watch as Mean Gene Okerlund becomes a Bushwacker.
