Other aliases: Lord Humungous, Punisher, Sam McGraw, Sunset Sam McGraw, Recon, Mr. Buchanan, B-2 / B², Buchanan Career highlights: AJPW All Asia Tag Team Champion (w/Rico Constantino), GCW Tag Team Champion (3), MCW North American Heavyweight Champion, NCW United States Champion, NCW Tag Team Champion (w/Pez Whatley), OVW Southern Tag Team Champion (w/Mr. Black), PWA Heavyweight Champion (2), USWA Tag Team Champion (3) (w/The Interrogator), WWE World Tag Team Champion (w/The Goodfather) Trained by: James Hammonds The first major wrestling organization that Buchanan competed for was the United States Wrestling Association (USWA), where he was known as Recon of the Truth Commission. With his partner The Interrogator, Buchanan won the USWA Tag Team Championships. The entire Truth Commission faction was brought in to the World Wrestling Federation in 1997 but did not remain in the company for long. The Truth Commission disbanded in 1998, but Buchanan and Sniper of the Truth Commission stayed together as the short-lived tag team, Armageddon. After that team disappeared from TV, Buchanan remained under WWF contract, and was sent to their "developmental territory" Ohio Valley Wrestling to improve his skills. While there, Buchanan and partner Mr. Black captured the OVW Southern Tag Team Championships. Buchanan returned to the WWF in 2000, now under the name Bull Buchanan and acting as a tag team partner for the Big Boss Man. Buchanan briefly struck out on his own after that alliance ended, but it was not long before he joined the Right to Censor faction, led by Steven Richards. As part of this group, Buchanan won the WWF World Tag Team Championships with The Goodfather. After Right to Censor was disbanded in mid-2001, Buchanan was once again sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling. In 2002 he returned to the WWF after wrestling several matches with seemingly no character or purpose, Buchanan was teamed with John Cena as an enforcer character and began using the name B-2 (also written as B², pronounced "B-Squared"). This pairing did not last long. As Cena's popularity rose, Buchanan was released by the company in January 2003. Since that time, Buchanan has been wrestling for All Japan Pro Wrestling, where he is known simply as Buchanan teaming with Taka Michinoku, D'Lo Brown, and Taiy? Kea in the Roughly Obsess & Destroy stable. On September 17, 2006, Buchanan betrayed RO&D and joined the Voodoo Murderers. |
