Daily double today, Cagesiders!
What you loved:
- New Zealand Sheepherders - Before the WWF, they were bad-ass violent dudes when it wasn't really in vogue to be like that. They were hated by the crowd, proud of where they came from, and didn't care what you thought of them.
- Funny - As the Bushwhackers, comedy became their thing, most of us remember them as kids and they were just funny guys.
- Marching - Moving there arms up and down as they walked to and from the ring. You know you all did it, don't lie! I bet you're doing it right now!
- Royal Rumble Elimination - One of them (does it matter?) got sent packing by Earthquake in a hurry. He just kept on marching like nothing happened...
Favorite comment belongs to SJM1912 - "They put 100% into the gimmick and worked a style that at its time was so different. Bushwhackers a comedy team. Sheepherders a hardcore tag team before it was vogue to have that style."

What you loathed:
- Bushwhackers - If you compare their pre-WWF antics to the Bushwhackers it's like night and day. One Cagesider used the term "nerfed", yes they got soften a lot. You guys hated the licking, the shouting, their faces, and that they were pretty much jobbers.
- In-Ring - Not the most technical wrestlers, pretty bad in the ring, more of a brawler style. Saw it once, won't have to see it again.
- Forgotten - Some of you either don't remember them (going by the low response, I'd say a lot actually), or didn't see enough to actually critique them. Eventually in this series we will get to lesser known wrestlers, so I guess this will happen from time to time.
Favorite comment is an uplifting one from Rex - "I’ve had to go back and watch a bunch of their matches for OTTR and they make me want to slit my wrists."
Okay then, onto the poll! With 94 votes, the Bushwhackers' average score is 2.9. Not great, but not terrible either. I voted a 5, and am proud of it!
Until tomorrow!
