17 Wrestlers You Didn’t Know Worked In WWE-3

3. Buzz Sawyer

One of the biggest stars made by the rise of cable television in the early ’80s, “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer transformed from a clean-cut amateur wrestler who happened to be nicknamed “Buzzsaw” to the wildest, craziest wrestler in the United States. As the long-term rival of Tommy Rich, the top star on the Georgia Championship Wrestling show that became a nationwide smash on cable, he became famous for his powerhouse style that melded amateur wrestling with vicious brawling and the nastiest-looking powerslam in the business. In 1984, with the WWF expanding, he was one of the wrestlers they picked up to head into the Summer, which was when they started invading new cities. Whether he’d have had an impact is unknown, as he lasted just a few weeks as “Bulldog” Buzz Sawyer. It’s safe to say that he probably just didn’t fit in with the style of wrestling the WWF was transitioning into at the time.
