10 Wrestling Props You Totally Don't Remember
5. The Bushwhackers' Giant Kangaroo
The Bushwhackers, perhaps even more than Kevin Nash, best underscore the difference between the old and new school of professional wrestler.
The new school wrestler, or at least several of them, are interested in establishing an artistic legacy. This explains what has approached a talent exodus from WWE to AEW. The ratio between released:requested release is fairly even at this point, but even then, you can't without being utterly brain-wormed claim that the likes of Miro and 2.0 aren't far happier performing as the best versions of themselves.
The old school wrestler, generally, was more interested in making money. The former five star Sheepherders were probably delighted to do little but swing their arms around like dipsh*ts if it meant they were making New York money. Not that they gave a t*ss, but the act was terrible even through the lens of the undiscerning '90s child
If it were even possible, and this is quite impressive in a warped way, Vince managed to make the antipodean stereotypes even more broad when they returned to the WWF in 1996, where they were seconded to the ring by a giant kangaroo mascot. Decent footage of the mascot doesn't exist - it didn't appear on Raw, and the Superstars Network dump only goes as far as 1995 - but the heavily pixellated atrocity can be found here.
No plushy dolls were ever made because "off-putting morons defined by a stereotype of their country" had already been done by Hulk Hogan.
