The "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer shows his little brother, Brett Wayne Sawyer, how to beat up some jobbers. Brett pats his big brother like he really is a dog.
@honoriochristina6970 Gotta love those furry boots! LOL! Sawyer was great! His fueds with Tommy Rich, Paul Ellering, were some of the greats!! I miss 'Mad Dog'!
i'm a 41 year old mexican,, i remember the mad dog,, my favorite wrestler of all times,thank you for the clip, brought back memories,, there has never been a wrestler like him,, r,i,p,,,,,the mad dog
the problem with the Sawyer's was not only with the bookers but with the fact of the back stage stuff. Rising stars like the Road Warriors had the charisma and the following whereas the Sawyers were decent regional players but on the national stage, not really. They were a throwback and given the political nature of wrestling and the fact that Brett and Buzz were not well liked and headaches for other players, it is understandable that bookers were wary of using them.
@scimitar08 I'd love to see those shoot interviews too! I remember when Billy Jack Haynes shoot interview was up on You Tube. To say he had nothing positive to say about Dusty Rhodes would be an understatement.
@XOtericate i could def c virgil runnels abusing his power and sending these guys packing 2 bill watts. dont understand how brett bcame a jobber in uwf tho. he did very well in georgia. buzz did come back 2 uwf 4 about a week in 87. he was a face w/ dark journey. but at that time uwf was being sold 2 jcp and buzz wasnt part of it. maybe he didnt want 2 work under runnels or runnels didnt want him there. who knows.
@XOtericate a lot of wrestlers have listed dusty as their reason 4 leaving jcp,like rick steamboat,billy jack haynes,etc. anybody who knows wrestling knows that sawyer & slater r money,PERIOD. and they proved it when they went 2 uwf. their track record in georgia/MA speaks 4 itself. and both guys r solid face OR heel! i would love 2 c a dick slater shoot if one exists. would have loved 2 seen a sawyer shoot as well.
@saracen3000 Yea I watched that and remember them now. I really didn't remember the Bushwackers as being them, just that they ran in a circle like fools.What was that 90s? I always saw WCW and Georgia Championship wrestling as a kid and it was back in they day that at least kids still argued about whether it was real or scripted-Predetermined winners/losers.I mean no disrespect because it real,I couldn't do it.But you know,there was that real/fake thing that went on forever.
@scimitar08 Thats a good theory! You hear stories about bookers having inflated egoes and making sure that they get over while certain talent feels neglected and looks for greener pastures in other promotions,
