I met Luke back in November. He was wrestling at a high school about an hour away from me for their annual show. He said from a money standpoint he liked being a Bushwhacker better, but when you talk about actual performing, he said he enjoyed being a Sheepherder better. I really want to see some of their Sheepherder matches.
@DJCandyManMike ...their sheepherder matches are all over youtube. They're both poor wrestlers so their sheephearder matches aren't much better than their bushwacker days, but they were a whole lot bloodier. They had some pretty decent matches with the fantastics. check 'em out.
Jesse Ventura said the same thing during their Wrestlemania 5 match. "Referee's rapidly losing control of this one." "That happens every time the Bushwhackers... wrestle, if you can call it wrestling." "I call it wrestling." "I call it more like street fighting. I have yet to see these guys use a wrestling hold."
@DJCandyManMike ...lol, yeah they were two of the worst wrestlers ever. All personality. In the WWF it didnt matter how bad they were, considering wrestling skill wasnt of importance, especially during the cartoon era, but when they wrestled in the NWA and mid-south, they covered up their lack of skill with blood and garbage wrestling. They are two great characters, tho. A lot of personality, which is a more important attribute in order to "make it"
Jerry Lawler is in agreement there. He said in his book that you could take the greatest wrestler there's ever been, but if he has no charisma, he'll make less money than the guy who's a horrible wrestler, but is oozing charisma. Dusty Rhodes, according to Jerry Lawler, is probably the best example of how far charisma will take you in pro wrestling.
@DJCandyManMike yep...hardcore wrestling fans that want to see great matches are the minority. Interest, PPV sales, tickets, merchandise, etc. are largely casual fans --- teenagers, kids and the parents that they drag along, who are interested through hype and the superficial....
Lot of Bushwhackers fans here but for my money they will always be the Sheepherders. Forget the goofy grins,bring back the NZ flag and start tearing up people like they used to do.
Man I remember these guys I beena fan of these lol whoever has WWE RAW VS SMACKDOWN you can download some people and these 2 are included in the pack of wrestlers you can download :]
They are retired. I don't know where Butch lives but Luke lives in Puerto Rico. I read that online. These guys have been wrestling for a long time now. When Butch had his run in with the Sars Disease, he was forced to retire. Luke wresltes now and then but he's not very active. Butch was comissioner of a New Zealand based wrestling company, last I have heard.
lmfao i cant beleive i took these guys serious as a kid.. Im 30 now and all i can do is lmfao. cousin luke's having a seizure + parkinsons diseas and the guy with the mic skills looks like 1 of the 3 stooges poked em in the eye while his voice sounds like he sat on a thumb tack!
You're upset because MMA is taking over the fighting world...the only true full combat sport...wrestling is thematic and nostalgic, but MMA is pure and intense...
agreed. they can't tell the difference between us aussies, you kiwis and even the poms. which is fucking weird, considering how many accents they have in one country
The way you guys say certain words like respect(rispict), test(tist), six(sux) should be easy for others to distinguish. Besides that, Aussie accent is totally different.
Little known fact: Peter Jackson used every known New Zealander as extras for his battle scenes in the LOTR movies, including the Bushwackers themselves as Orcs! You can spot Luke and Butch in the scene where two of the Orcs are licking Merry and Pippin's faces, wave their arms up and down, and use their battering ram maneuver to try to open Helm's Deep.
These guys were turned from one of the most vicious tag teams of all times to this absolute joke you see on here when they got to the WWF. Of all the b.s. repackaging of wrestlers McMahon ever did, this was one of the worst.
Yeah, they were vicious early on but you can't stay that way forever. It's prolly hard to be 40 something on, having done that gig going on 20 years and have some new young punk always challenging how bad you are after calling wrestling fake. :P McMahon was probably a godsend from that shit.
ahhh I was so proud to be a New Zealander when these two would come to the ring:)...Cousin Butch almost died but has recovered and is now back here in NZ and Cousin Luke is working as a booker with Carlitos Dad I think...The Bushwhackers will forever be one GREAT old school Tag Team
These guys were one of the best wrestling tag teams of all times. Their self-sacrifing and honorable volunteerism for various charities were indeed impressive. I still have my autographed color promo photo of Cousin Butch and Cousin Luke. I truly admire these Kiwis. I last I heard about them, they have returned to New Zealand. What a beautiful country.
Ahahaha New Zealand represent!
