Did you know they were once part of a match Dave Meltzer awarded 5 stars?

The Bushwhackers were a memorable tag team that were part of the WWE roster during the late 1980s/early 1990s. Fans would remember them most as the guys who licked peoples faces and swung their arms wildly while they walked. As they are inducted into the 2015 WWE Hall Of Fame, many fans might not know that they had a successful career that spanned 20 years prior. The pair began in their home country of New Zealand and wrestled all over the world in the era of wrestling territories. They amassed dozens of Tag Title reigns and introduced many audiences to the hardcore style long before it would become a trend in the business.
