10 WWE Tag Teams Vince McMahon Actually Loved

Butch and Luke were not the most technically gifted team to ever grace the ring. The former Sheepherders were known in their territory days for ultra-violent bloody battles. This changed when they signed for the family-friendly WWE. McMahon rebranded the duo as a pair of lovable twits.

The Bushwhackers waved their arms wildly and licked one another. The team would on occasion interact with audience members and were hugely popular with younger fans.

They were also popular with the chairman. This was mostly due to the fact they would lick unsuspecting broadcast colleagues such as Sean Mooney and Gene Okerlund. This was often at the behest of the boss himself. Vince could subsequently be heard hollering with delight from the commentary desk.

The Bushwhackers would remain at the lower end of the card for their entire WWE stay. The team would rarely challenge the champions of the day. They would however still be inducted into the Hall of Fame. This highlighted Vince‘s affection for the New Zealand natives.
