Blake and Murphy

In August 2014, in WWE's *NXT* system, Wesley Blake abandoned his previous cowboy character and formed a tag team with Buddy Murphy. On the August 14 episode of *NXT*, **Blake and Murphy** were defeated in the first round of a number one contender tag team tournament by Kalisto and Sin Cara, later known as The Lucha Dragons. For the rest of 2014, Blake and Murphy lost multiple matches to teams such as the Lucha Dragons and The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch). Blake and Murphy were once referred to as "Team Thick" in October, but that name was dropped in later episodes. Also in October 2014, Blake and Murphy were involved in a tag-team battle royal to determine the number one contenders to the NXT Tag Team Championship; they were eliminated from the match by The Ascension.

On the January 21, 2015 episode of *NXT*, Blake and Murphy scored their first-ever televised victory by defeating The Vaudevillains. This led to a title match on the January 28, 2015 episode of *NXT* (taped on January 15) where Blake and Murphy defeated The Lucha Dragons to win the NXT Tag Team Championship. At a January 31 *NXT* house show, Blake and Murphy were billed without their first names. This name change translated to television at NXT TakeOver: Rival, where Blake and Murphy defeated The Lucha Dragons in a rematch for the titles. In March, Blake and Murphy began a rivalry with Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady, while attempting to woo their valet Carmella on several occasions. On the May 13 episode of *NXT*, Blake and Murphy distracted Carmella during her match with Alexa Bliss, causing her to lose. At NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable, Blake and Murphy defeated Amore and Cassady to retain the NXT Tag Team Championship after interference from Bliss. Blake and Murphy lost the NXT Tag Team Championship to The Vaudevillains at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn.

Following their championship loss, Blake and Murphy would go on a multi-month losing streak, losing their rematch with The Vaudevillians, while also suffering losses to American Alpha, The Hype Bros, Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady, and The Ascension. On the May 18 episode of *NXT*, after losing to Shinsuke Nakamura and Austin Aries, Alexa walked away from Blake and Murphy, leaving the duo and later being called up to WWE's main roster as part of the 2016 WWE Draft. On the June 1 episode of *NXT*, Murphy would revert to his "Buddy Murphy" ring name in a loss against Tye Dillinger. On the June 15 episode of *NXT*, Blake and Murphy reunited, but after a miscommunication between the two, they were defeated by TM-61. Again, the two attempted to battle The Hype Bros on the July 6, 2016 episode of *NXT*, but were interrupted by the returning Rhyno, leading to Murphy walking out on Blake. A scheduled match between Blake and Murphy on the October 12 episode of *NXT* did not take place as both men were defeated by Samoa Joe. The duo then both ceased to appear regularly on television, effectively ending the team.

Chris Michaels

In July 1991, Michaels worked as a preliminary wrestler in the WWF, jobbing to names such as Sgt. Slaughter, Ric Flair, The Undertaker and Legion of Doom.

Michaels teamed up with Johnny Hotbody and Chris Candido to form a tag team known as "the Suicide Blondes" in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) during the early 1990's. The trio won the ECW Tag Team Championship from Tony Stetson and Larry Winters on April 3, 1993. They were subsequently allowed to pick any two of the three to represent the team, via the Freebird Rule. The Blondes lost the championship to The Super Destroyers (Super Destroyer #1 and Super Destroyer #2), but regained them the same night. At some point in 1993, Chris Candido left ECW and the promotion was forced to vacate the championship.

In the second half of 1994, Michaels worked as a preliminary wrestler for WCW, jobbing to names such as Steve Austin, Big Van Vader and Lord Steven Regal.
Chip Minton

Minton made his World Championship Wrestling debut on the July 10, 1996 episode of *WorldWide*, where he lost to Big Bubba. On the October 20, 1998 episode of *Saturday Night*, he defeated Lenny Lane. On November 22, Minton made his pay-per-view debut at World War 3, where he competed in the eponymous battle royal for a match for the World Heavyweight Championship, but was unsuccessful as Kevin Nash ultimately won the match. Beginning in 1999, Minton continued wrestling sporadically on WCW's lower shows *Saturday Night* and *WorldWide*, as well as on house shows before wrestling his final match on July 9, 1999, where he and Kenny Kaos wrestled to a draw at a house show.

Camacho

On the December 15, 2011 episode of *WWE Superstars*, Camacho came to the ring as the new enforcer of Hunico. Hunico and Camacho first teamed together on the April 26, 2012 episode of *Superstars* where they beat the Usos. Camacho made his pay-per-view debut at Over the Limit, where he was defeated by Ryback in a singles match. Camacho then began appearing on *NXT*; he made his *NXT* debut on the July 4, 2012 episode, first losing to Seth Rollins but emerging victorious later that episode in a six-man tag match while teaming with Hunico and Michael McGillicutty against Rollins, Bo Dallas, and Tyson Kidd. On the next episode of *NXT*, Camacho defeated Kidd in a singles match following a distraction from McGillicutty. On the pre-show of Money in the Bank, he and Hunico lost to the WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston and R-Truth in a non-title match. At *Raw 1000*, Camacho, along with Hunico and four other wrestlers, attempted to ambush Kane to make a statement, but The Undertaker's return resulted in the Brothers of Destruction disposing of all six would-be attackers. With Hunico out injured, Camacho continued to compete on *NXT*; after a $5,000 bounty was promised to anyone who could put Big E Langston "on the shelf"; Camacho attempted to claim the bounty in late-2012 so that he could "get Hunico out of Mexico", but he was squashed by Langston. On April 4, 2013, Camacho reunited with Hunico at the WrestleMania Axxess live event. On the November 6, 2013 episode of *Main Event*, he and Hunico made their first televised tag team match since July 2012, losing to The Usos. He and Hunico then started a feud against The Ascension, defeating them in a non-title match, but were then defeated in an NXT Tag Team Championship match.

Once Hunico started portraying Sin Cara again, Camacho started to wrestle solo on *NXT*. Camacho scored a rare victory over the returning Oliver Grey on the March 13, 2014 television tapings. His last feud in WWE was with Adam Rose on *NXT*, which began when he attacked one of Rose's followers after a match and ended at NXT TakeOver, when Camacho lost to Rose. On June 12, 2014, Camacho was released from his contract.
Buck Quartermain

During early 1995, he had a brief stint in the World Wrestling Federation, and, although having little success against opponents such as Jeff Jarrett and Hunter Hearst Helmsley wrestling on *Monday Night Raw*, he did defeat The Brooklyn Brawler in a dark match at the 1995 Royal Rumble in his hometown of Tampa on January 22, 1995.

He returned to the WWF appearing on *Sunday Night Heat* in January 2000 and on *Jakked* in January 2001.

He also made a one-time appearance on *Monday Night Raw* teaming with Steve Madison to lose to The Big Show in a handicap match in Tampa on August 29, 2005.

On September 1, 2005, he would also appear on *SmackDown* in a tag team match with Antonio Banks in a losing effort against The Shane Twins in a dark match.
Buck Zumhofe

Zumhofe debuted as a light heavyweight competitor in the American Wrestling Association (AWA) in the early and mid-1980's. He feuded primarily with "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal over the AWA World Light Heavyweight Championship during that time. Zumhofe also wrestled in World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) where he teamed with Iceman King Parsons as the Rock 'n' Soul Connection. As a singles wrestler in WCCW, Zumhofe reached the final of the WCCW Television Championship tournament in March 1985, where he lost to Rip Oliver. Zumhofe left WCCW in October 1985.

Returning to the AWA in 1985, he won his second AWA World Light Heavyweight Championship by defeating Steve Regal, but was forced to vacate the title in July 1986. Zumhofe again returned to the AWA in 1990 and won the AWA World Light Heavyweight title for the third time, defeating Jonnie Stewart. He feuded with Stewart over the title until the promotion closed in 1991.

Zumhofe also made sporadic appearances for the World Wrestling Federation as a jobber during the 1980's and 1990's. He was the first wrestler to be put in a bodybag by The Undertaker and was also the wrestler who Triple H faced in his WWF debut.
Chubby Dudley

In late 1992, Dudley joined Extreme Championship Wrestling, where he adopted the ring name **E.Z. Ryder** and formed a tag team known as "The Hell Riders" with H.D. Ryder. On the inaugural episode of *ECW Hardcore TV* (airing April 3, 1993), The Hell Riders unsuccessfully challenged The Super Destroyers for the ECW Tag Team Championship. He left ECW in late 1993.

In mid-1995, he returned to Extreme Championship Wrestling. He was given the gimmick of **Chubby Dudley**, an obese, slobbish member of the Dudley family. Chubby rarely wrestled, but would accompany his storyline half-brothers to ringside, normally while holding a cake or other snack. If the other members of the Dudley family were incapacitated, Chubby would flee from ringside.

At "Massacre on Queens Blvd" on April 13, 1996, D-Von Dudley made his debut, angrily proclaiming that the Dudley's comedic antics were not the way "true Dudleys" should conduct themselves. At Heat Wave on July 13, 1996, D-Von attacked Dances with Dudley, Chubby Dudley and Sign Guy Dudley with a chair and delivered a low blow to Buh Buh Ray before being driven off by Hack Meyers.

Dudley left ECW again in mid-1996.
Bull Dempsey

In June 2013, Dempsey signed a contract with WWE. He was assigned to the WWE Performance Center. Dempsey made his debut in *NXT* on September 12, 2013, where he was defeated by Aiden English. Throughout late 2013, he made sporadic appearances as an enhancement talent. In the late spring to summer, Dempsey returned to *NXT* as a tweener, squashing various low carders and local talents. In August, Dempsey and Mojo Rawley formed an uneasy tag team and participated in the NXT Tag Team Championship tournament, where they were defeated by The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch) in the first round, prompting Dempsey to attack Rawley in the aftermath and establishing himself a heel. On September 11 at the NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way event, Dempsey defeated Rawley in a squash with his new finisher The Diving Headbutt. On the September 25 episode of *NXT*, Bull was victorious in the rematch. Following that, he embarked on a rivalry with Baron Corbin, another dominant wrestler who mostly squashed jobbers. The two competed to see how quickly they could defeat the "local talent", sometimes back-to-back. This eventually led to a match between the two on January 14, 2015, in which Dempsey's undefeated streak was broken by Corbin.

Dempsey competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal Qualification Tournament at WrestleMania 31 Axxess, but lost to Tyler Breeze in the first round. Soon after this, Dempsey's gimmick was tweaked to that of an overweight, out of shape wrestler who eats too much, which also saw him turn face in the process. After several vignettes aired to promote "Bull-Fit", Dempsey debuted his new gimmick on the August 26 episode of *NXT*, where he defeated Elias Samson. On the February 24 episode of *NXT*, he was defeated by Tommaso Ciampa. On the March 23 episode of *NXT*, he and his supposed opponent Danny Burch both were beaten down by Samoa Joe, before they even started the match, this led to a match between Dempsey and Joe on the following weeks episode. Dempsey lost in a quick squash match by disqualification because Joe kept his finisher, the *Coquina Clutch*, on Dempsey prompting NXT General Manager William Regal to try to stop him. Samoa Joe's insubordination would bring NXT Champion Finn Bálor to the ring to "rescue" Dempsey. The following week Dempsey lost to Joe in a squash match, this was Dempsey's final appearance for *NXT*.

On February 5, 2016, Dempsey was released by WWE.
Bunkhouse Buck

Jimmy Golden

In 1994, Buck debuted in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) where he was managed by Col. Robert Parker. He feuded mainly with Dustin Rhodes and then teamed with Dick Slater to win the WCW World Tag Team Titles.

Buck appeared on the July 16, 2010 episode of *WWE SmackDown*, portraying the character of Jack Swagger's father, and Swagger abandoned him to be chokeslammed and tombstoned by Kane. He returned on the September 3, episode of *SmackDown*, reprising his role as Jack Swagger's father, and was again left by Swagger to be attacked by Montel Vontavious Porter.
Blue Meanie

Bluedust

The Blue Boy

The Blue Meanie debuted in 1995 in ECW at the November to Remember event. He was the flunky for Stevie Richards, who was the flunky for Raven. Meanie, Richards, and Nova performed several skits but their most famous was the bWo, a parody of WCW's top heel group, the nWo. Meanie played the role of **Da Blue Guy** in the bWo, lampooning nWo member Scott Hall's nickname "The Bad Guy".

Meanie made his World Wrestling Federation (WWF) debut on the November 29, 1998 episode of *Sunday Night Heat*, interfering in a match between Duane Gill and Christian. He then spent some time as part of Al Snow's J.O.B. Squad. He rose to short prominence as **Bluedust**, paired with Goldust. Bluedust and Goldust were pitted against one another at St. Valentine's Day Massacre: In Your House pay-per-view, a match Goldust eventually won. Bluedust would later be pulled under Goldust's "spell", calling him "mommy" and serving as a manager, all the while bickering with Goldust's other manager, Ryan Shamrock. After Goldust dumped both Meanie and Shamrock, Meanie made little headway in the WWF and left shortly thereafter.

Under the name **Blue Boy**, Meanie returned to ECW in 2000. His gimmick was that of an arrogant stud who would insult the looks and weight of fans and other wrestlers, in an ironic twist.

The Blue Meanie appeared at WWE's ECW One Night Stand pay-per-view on June 12, 2005. He made headlines at the event for being bloodied and deliberately injured by WWE wrestler JBL. A few weeks after the incident, it was announced that he had signed a short-term deal with WWE and reformed the bWo with Stevie Richards and Simon Dean (formerly Nova). On the July 7 episode of *SmackDown*, the bWo drove to ringside in JBL's limousine, then proceeded to spraypaint "bWo" on the hood. This led to a no disqualification match between JBL and Meanie later that evening, which Meanie won after interference from Richards and World Heavyweight Champion Batista. The Mexicools later defeated Meanie, Richards, and Nova in a six-man tag match at The Great American Bash.
Christopher Nowinski

Nowinski had a short-lived alliance with Regal, defeating Spike Dudley in his debut match the following week with Regal in his corner. Nowinski teamed with Regal on the June 24 episode of *Raw*, defeating Bradshaw and Dudley. Nowinski continued to feud with Bradshaw over the next few weeks, with their feud ending on the July 8 episode of *Raw*, where Nowinski teamed with Jackie Gayda in a losing effort against Bradshaw and Trish Stratus, while also trying to warming up Regal from his breakdown after he lost the European Championship to Jeff Hardy. Nowinski feuded with The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and Spike Dudley) through the summer.

Nowinski defeated Tommy Dreamer on the September 9 episode of *Raw*. A week later, Dreamer attacked Nowinski in a classroom. Their feud ended on the October 14 episode of *Raw*, where Nowinski was once again successful in defeating Dreamer. Over the next few weeks, Nowinski claimed victories over Jeff Hardy and Booker T before starting a feud with his former *Tough Enough* trainer, Al Snow. After defeating Snow in two consecutive weeks, Maven began to help Snow against Nowinski. On the November 25 episode of *Raw*, Nowinski went against Maven in a match that ended in a no contest. Nowinski teamed with D'Lo Brown to defeat Snow and Maven on two occasions. Nowinski then continued his feud with Maven into 2003, where Test aligned himself with Maven for a few weeks, successfully defeating Nowinski and Brown on January 13, 2003 episode of *Raw*.

On the March 31 episode of *Raw*, Nowinski was defeated by Scott Steiner. The feud come to an end on the May 12 episode of *Raw*, where Nowinski teamed with La Résistance (Rene Dupree and Sylvain Grenier) in a losing effort against Steiner, Test and Goldust. On the May 26 episode of *Raw*, Nowinski aligned himself with *Thuggin' and Buggin' Enterprises*, an African American wrestling stable consisting of Rodney Mack, Jazz and their manager Theodore Long. At Insurrextion, Nowinski teamed with Mack and Long in a losing effort against The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley and Spike Dudley). At Bad Blood, Nowinski and Mack defeated The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von). Nowinski wrestled his final match with WWE on the June 23 episode of *Raw*, in a losing effort against Maven. Nowinski retired from wrestling soon thereafter.

They then made an appearance as enhancement talents playing two French-Canadian local competitors named **Jean-Paul** and François on the April 30, 2018 episode of *Raw*, losing to The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar).

On February 11, 2019, WWE announced that Parker and Martel had been signed.

Lauren would soon change his name to **Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo** on the May 6 episode of *NXT Level Up*, where he and Donovan defeated Dante Chen and Javier Bernal. Lorenzo and Donovan made their *NXT* television debuts on the April 19 episode, attacking Santos Escobar during a match. The following week on *NXT*, Tony D'Angelo introduced them as his henchmen, establishing themselves as heels in the process. On June 4, at NXT In Your House, The D'Angelo Family defeated Legado del Fantasma and, as per the stipulation, this stable had to join the D'Angelo Family. After Donovan's release, on the August 2 episode of *NXT*, Lorenzo and D'Angelo faced The Creed Brothers for the NXT Tag Team Championships, but were defeated due to Santos Escobar, who turned on D'Angelo.

At NXT Stand and Deliver on April 1, 2023, Lorenzo and D'Angelo failed to win the NXT Tag Team Championships in a triple threat match. At NXT The Great American Bash, Lorenzo and D'Angelo defeated Gallus (Wolfgang and Mark Coffey) to win the NXT Tag Team Championships, marking the first championship in his career.

Bobby Duncum, Jr.

Duncum debuted in Extreme Championship Wrestling on February 14, 1997, where he defeated Balls Mahoney. His final ECW match was a loss to Mikey Whipwreck on July 18, 1998.

On the November 16, 1998 episode of *WCW Monday Nitro*, Duncum made his World Championship Wrestling debut as a fan favorite and defeated Chris Jericho in a World Television Championship match, but was unable to win Jericho's title due to winning via countout. Six days later at World War 3, Duncum made his pay-per-view debut and faced Jericho in a rematch for the title, but lost via pinfall. Duncum continued his feud with Jericho and defeated him twice at house shows and once more on the December 3 episode of *Thunder* before losing to him on the December 7 episode of *Nitro*. Duncum then formed a short-lived tag team with Mike Enos.

Duncum became a villain in the beginning of 1999 and joined Curt Hennig, Barry Windham and Kendall Windham to form a faction called The West Texas Rednecks. Although originally intended to be the villainous rivals of Master P's No Limit Soldiers, a faction of rappers, the Rednecks were instead embraced by the Southern wrestling fans of WCW and were cheered over the Soldiers. While Hennig and Barry would contend for the WCW World Tag Team Championship, Duncum would compete in singles matches on *Saturday Night* and *Thunder*, including an unsuccessful attempt at winning the World Television Championship from Booker T on the April 15 episode of *Thunder*.

On June 13 at The Great American Bash, Duncum and Hennig lost to Konnan and Rey Mysterio, Jr. of the No Limit Soldiers in a tag team match. Less than a month later, the Rednecks lost to the Soldiers once again at Bash at the Beach in an elimination tag team match on July 11. Following the end of their feud with the Soldiers, the Rednecks made their final pay-per-view appearance at Road Wild on August 14, where Duncum, Barry and Hennig lost to The Revolution (Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and Shane Douglas) in a six-man tag team match.

Twelve days later on *Thunder*, Duncum made his final televised appearance as he, Barry and Kendall Windham lost to The Filthy Animals (Eddy Guerrero, Kidman and Rey Mysterio Jr.).

On January 24, 2000, Duncum passed away.
Chris Guy

Guy appeared with World Wrestling Entertainment on the September 27, 2004 episode of *Raw*, having his hair cut by Eugene, who would face Eric Bischoff in a hair versus hair match at the upcoming Taboo Tuesday pay-per-view. Guy also made an appearance on *Velocity* on April 1, 2006, losing to Orlando Jordan.

On the January 8, 2007 episode of *Raw*, Guy portrayed Donald Trump in an intergender match with a Rosie O'Donnell impersonator, dubbed "The Donald vs. Rosie". "Trump" received the win by pinning her after a second turnbuckle "hairbutt". He wrestled once again as Chris Guy on the October 5, 2007 edition of *SmackDown!*, quickly losing to Chuck Palumbo.

In November 2019, Guy was hired by WWE as a coach at their Performance Center. On January 5, 2022, he was released by WWE.
Buddy Rose

Rose wrestled for the WWF in 1982-1983, working main events at Madison Square Garden against Bob Backlund for the WWF World Heavyweight Title. Rose also worked with Pedro Morales, and was managed by the Grand Wizard. Rose returned to the WWF in late 1984, was managed by Bobby Heenan, and then later put under a mask as **The Executioner**, losing to Tito Santana in the opening match of the inaugural WrestleMania.

Rose competed in the AWA from 1986-1987. Rose teamed with Doug Somers, and feuded with the Midnight Rockers over the AWA World Tag Team Titles.

Rose returned to the WWF in 1990. Rose was primarily used as an enhancement talent during this run, losing all of his televised matches to elevate other stars. Rose lost to Kerry Von Erich in Von Erich's WWF television debut on the July 1990 edition of *Saturday Night's Main Event*. Having gained a large amount of weight, Rose turned it into a comical gimmick. When the ring announcer introduced him and listed his weight at 317 pounds, Rose would angrily take the microphone away from the announcer, and claim to weigh "a slim, trim, 217 pounds"; this drew jeers from the crowd. On occasion, he would do one-handed push-ups and kip-ups in the ring, and challenge muscular opponents to a "pose-down." Rose memorably appeared in a faux infomercial for the "Buddy Rose Blow Away Diet," which consisted of pouring powder all over himself and then "blowing away the fat" with a household fan; Rose looked exactly the same, after the blow away.

On April 28, 2009, Rose passed away.

In 2019, Rose was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of their Legacy Wing.

Chad Dick

He made his WWE debut along with his partner, James Dick, on the October 14, 2005 edition of *WWE SmackDown* as one-half of The Dicks. After The Mexicools won their 8-man tag match with Road Warrior Animal and Heidenreich by defeating Paul Burchill and William Regal and MNM, the winners were ambushed by the Dicks, laying out Super Crazy and Psicosis with two of their signature tag team maneuvers. They made their in-ring debut on November 5 on *Velocity*, defeating jobbers and expanding on their gimmick as Chippendale dancers. On the November 25 episode of *SmackDown*, they made their official *SmackDown* debuts, defeating Heidenreich and Road Warrior Animal after blinding Animal with lotion. They ultimately became regulars on *Velocity* before a final appearance on the February 24, 2006 edition of *SmackDown!* where they were defeated by The Boogeyman in a handicap match. Shortly after the taping, they were released.
Bob Orton, Sr.

Orton competed in the American Wrestling Association (AWA) in the 1960's, where he would gain success.

In September 1968, as "Cowboy" Rocky Fitzpatrick, he was number one challenger to WWWF World Heavyweight Champion Bruno Sammartino, losing to Sammartino at Madison Square Garden.

On the August 20, 2007, episode of *WWE Raw*, Hamrick made an appearance as a fake version of Triple H, in which he placed a crown on King Booker's head during a royal ceremony, leading up to Booker's match with Triple H at SummerSlam.
Blair Davenport

On June 24, 2021, a vignette aired promoting Davenport's arrival to WWE's *NXT UK* brand. Davenport would score a winning streak upon her debut over several opponents such as Xia Brookside, Nina Samuels, Emilia McKenzie and many more until she seized an opportunity to challenge Meiko Satomura for the NXT UK Women's Championship. On the January 6, 2022 episode of *NXT UK*, Davenport failed to capture the title from Satomura, marking her first loss in *NXT UK*. On the August 23 episode of *NXT 2.0*, Davenport made her in-ring debut in the brand and collected her first loss over Indi Hartwell, and was then confronted by the NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose and the NXT UK Women’s Champion Meiko Satomura, which set up a triple threat match to unify both the NXT UK Women's Championship and the NXT Women's Championship at the Worlds Collide pay-per-view on September 4. At the event, Davenport was unsuccessful in winning the titles.

On the May 30, 2023 episode of *NXT*, Davenport was revealed to be the attacker that left many of the women's division on the shelf. The following week on the June 6 episode of *NXT*, she defeated Dani Palmer, and later on in the night attacked Roxanne Perez. On December 9 at NXT Deadline, Davenport won the women's Iron Survivor Challenge to earn an NXT Women's Championship match against Lyra Valkyria at NXT New Year's Evil.

Buddy Landel

Landel arrived in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1990 and wrestled Ric Flair in a "Battle of the Nature Boys". He wrestled Flair in a "Gauntlet match" which aired on November 24, 1990. In early 1991, he was under consideration for membership in Alexandra York's The York Foundation.

Landel went to the World Wrestling Federation on December 5, 1995. He continued to use a very similar image to Ric Flair, even using Flair's early 1990's WWF entrance music. He made his *Raw* debut defeating Bob Holly. He also defeated Matt Hardy and Chris Michaels. Landel wrestled Bret Hart in a WWF World Heavyweight Championship match televised on January 13, 1996. Landel suffered a serious injury out of the ring shortly after his debut tearing his right quadriceps, and was out of action for six months as a result. After his injury healed, he worked a few more WWF matches before leaving the company.

On June 22, 2015, Landel passed away.
Bull Pain

In 1985, Pain joined the American Wrestling Association as a jobber.

In 1987, he joined the World Wrestling Federation as a jobber. He worked for the promotion until 1988, appearing regularly on *WWF Superstars* and *WWF Wrestling Challenge*.

In 1995, Ian Rotten was in a feud with his kayfabe brother Axl Rotten in Extreme Championship Wrestling, during which Axl Rotten disappeared. Ian would then had Bull Pain brought in as a replacement, and the two had a brief feud, including Taipei Death Matches and Barbed Wire Baseball Bat Matches. Bull Pain was also wrestling at this time as a regular "enhancement talent" for World Championship Wrestling, wrestling the likes of Jim Duggan, Hak, Van Hammer, Johnny B. Badd, and Bobby Duncum, Jr..

Buddy Roberts

At the tail end of the 1960s, Roberts worked as a preliminary wrestler in the American Wrestling Association (AWA).

Roberts moved to World Class Championship Wrestling in late 1982 as a part of The Fabulous Freebirds (alongside Michael "P.S." Hayes, Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy, and Jimmy "Jam" Garvin) and began a high-profile feud with the Von Erich family. They wrestled David Von Erich, Kerry Von Erich, Mike Von Erich and Kevin Von Erich numerous times in 1986. Roberts also had a long-standing feud with Von Erich ally Chris Adams, which lasted on and off for more than five years.

Roberts' most famous singles angle came in WCCW in 1983, and involved the invention of what the Freebirds referred to as "Freebird Hair Removal Cream". The angle culminated in a hair match between Roberts and Iceman Parsons on June 17. Roberts seemingly won the match via tight-pulling, but the decision was reversed and the match restarted. In the fracas, Roberts' head was lathered in the hair removal cream. At subsequent events, Roberts wore a wig, kept in place by boxing headgear.

In 1984, Roberts and the Freebirds had a short stint in the World Wrestling Federation, mainly competing in six-man tag matches. Here, they were managed by Cyndi Lauper's manager, David Wolff. They left the promotion when WWF officials stated their intention to split the team up. At the AWA's SuperClash in 1985, Roberts helped Hayes and Gordy defeat The Road Warriors for the AWA World Tag Team Championship, but the decision was later reversed.

In 1987, The Freebirds went back to WCCW, where they both split up and reformed. Roberts and Gordy turned on Hayes and teamed with Iceman Parsons to feud with Hayes and the Von Erichs. Gordy eventually left Roberts to rejoin Hayes. The feud ended in late 1988 when Hayes and Gordy left for WCW, and Roberts acted as a manager to the Samoan Swat Team before he retired from wrestling. Roberts also had a short feud with World Class referee David Manning, which included several gimmick matches, such as Roberts wrestling with one arm tied behind his back. Manning, who was touted as an accomplished amateur wrestler by the promotion to compensate for the obvious size difference between the two, won most of the matches on a fluke.

Roberts managed Hayes and Jimmy Garvin in one match against Steve Armstrong and Tracy Smothers in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) on September 5, 1990.

On November 26, 2012, Roberts passed away.

On April 2, 2016, Roberts was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his son, Buddy "Jack" Roberts Jr. as part of The Fabulous Freebirds.

After leaving WCCW, McGraw would go to World Championship Wrestling (WCW). He feuded with The Assassins, teaming mostly with Rufus R. Jones. McGraw and Jones also wrestled in the first Starrcade event, losing to The Assassins.
