This is my tribute page to one of the best tag teams in the history of professional wrestling. I'm talking about Crazy Luke Williams and Butch Miller. You may remember them as the Sheepherders feuding in Portland against "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and Rick Martel, or against the fantastics in Bill Watt's UWF, or you may know them simply as Luke & Butch ,the Bushwhackers.

These guys were hardcore before there was hardcore. I remember watching them take on the Fantastics in a Barbed wire cage match. It turned out to be quite a bloodbath. They could get as mean and nasty as the best of them. I remember them saying that they were going to flush all us bloody yanks down the toilet, because that's where they belong. I would like to see them resurface as heels again. They were great heels.
I guess until then all I can say is.....
WHOOAAA!!! YEAHHHH!!!!
