Cobra Commander Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Brett Sawyer and Bart Sawyer? Is there some confused terminator just working through a list of B Sawyers trying to find Buzz because Buzz ripped him off for wrestling training in 1982? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Quote On February 9, 2001, Sawyer was in attendance at the 35th annual Cauliflower Alley Club reunion in Las Vegas with Roddy Piper as one of his bodyguards Wikipedia with a sentence where you wonder if Sawyer was the bodyguard or Roddy Piper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they were later known as the "Texas Cowgirls", which is hilarious cause I don't know anyone who had a more backwoods of Georgia accent than Joyce Grable. They were very much ahead of their time. Also, some of the best heel work you will ever see. RIP Joyce 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefanie Sparkleface Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 8 hours ago, Eivion said: Any specific matches you would suggest? It wasn't Joyce and Wendi Richter, but Joyce and Judy Martin were heels in the Omni Thanksgiving Tag Team Tournament against Steve O and Jerry Roberts (aka Jacques Rougeau) in 1980, and it worked fantastically. Footage exists, but it's really hard to find. Really, Joyce in general was great from the footage we have available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Are you counting man/woman vs man/woman tag matches? id presume Kaufman’s matches in Memphis would be considered, although they were shoots (we have led to believe).
