The Bushwhackers Comment on Origin of Their Team Name

A recent episode of the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast had WWE Hall of Famers The Bushwhackers, Luke and Butch, as the guests.

One of the topics discussed included the Bushwhackers revealing the origin of their ring name in WWF.

“We were working with the Rock N Roll Express in NWA and they were the hottest baby face tag team. We just had an angle with Lex Luger and Barry Windham, and we get the phone call when Vince rang up and said, ‘oh, you know, come work for me’. So Luke told me. And I, I was very excited. He wasn’t quite so excited because he’s just told we were getting a very good push from the WCW. Finally they had realized what they had and they’re gonna push us pretty big.”
So anyway, we go up there. They, they, they, they bring us up in the air, in the first class, they got a limo waiting for us at the airport, with the chauffer, up to the thing. He’s (Vince) sitting in the office. Once we get escorted into the office and we sat down and he’s, you know, we’d never met him before. He had never met us. So we shook his hands and he says, guys, I tell you what he says. I would love to have you guys on board. But I’m thinking about bringing you guys in as baby faces. So I jumped on his office bench, on my hands and knees, and I went straight over to him and I gave him a YAY! And I said, Vince, take a look at these faces. And we did the old, the old, uh, Sheepherder/Bushwacker look. And I said, if you think you can make money with these two face. I’m in 100%.”

Impact Wrestling Lone Star Stampede Tapings News & Notes

Impact Wrestling recently held their Lone Star Stampede themed Impact! television tapings over this weekend in Dallas, Texas.

PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that Impact drew an attendance of around 500 for each night of their tapings in Dallas with Saturday’s tapings drawing a larger attendance than Friday’s tapings.

In regards to the Good Brothers, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson, Johnson reported that the duo have finished their current commitments with Impact and will be primary working for New Japan Pro Wrestling going forward. Johnson also reported that his sources stated that WWE was interested at one point in signing the team back to the company prior to Vince McMahon’s departure. Talks between the two sides reportedly fizzled out over Gallows and Anderson not holding a good view of the company due to issues over how they were handled and their releases following them signing new contracts to stay in WWE instead of joining AEW in 2019. Another issue reportedly was due to Gallows and Anderson did not want to come back under cheaper monetary deals.

Johnson also reported that former WWE talent Kristal Marshall and former WWE and ECW official Lou D’Angeli reportedly were seen in attendance backstage during the tapings.
