Now the Bushwackers.  They morphed from an edgy heel team (The Sheepherders, which apparently most of you were to young to remember) to another circus act in the Bollea/Jr acknowledged kiddy show.  They clearly were "over" and made more money than they ever did before.  Yet look at the comments bashing them as basically being an embarrassing cartoon.
What about the Bollea/Jr Circus wasn't embarrassing?   Dusty in polka dots? A great technician such as DiBiasi becoming the "Million Dollar Man?" Red Rooster? Great collegian Rotunda becoming IRS?  Are you going to tell me Bollea's "what you gonna do when the pythons grab you brutha" ending with the idiotic leg drop wasn't an embarrassment compared to men presented as champs such as Thesz, Funk Jr, Bruno, Kiniski, Baclund, etc?  It was all embarrassing - but succesful.  So be it - it sold successfully to a different audience.  Biut the whole thing was an embarrassment. Why pick on the Bushwackers?  They certainly were "over."  They "popped."
