I received the Mattel Legends Bushwackers today from a member on here, and it got me thinking..........Are Luke and Butch the most successful jobbers of all time? I really didn't care for them growing up. I hated when would lick fans' foreheads. What was their deal? I'm pretty sure they never held the WWE tag titles. But I could be wrong. Did they ever hold any belts or have any success in any other company or territory? NWA or WCW?

I never saw them as jobbers but more of a comedy act, jobbers back then didn't have a WWF marketing behind them.

Nothing in WWE, but they did have some NWA title reigns. Lombardi is the best Jobber in my book

They were over as hell but never did a damn thing.
I actually got into an argument with my history teacher back in high school once about whether or not they ever held the tag titles.
Spoiler alert...they didn't.

Even as a "comedy" act, I think they actually had a better PPV win-loss record than the Rockers!
Check them out as the Sheepherders before they came to WWF. A far cry from their Bushwhacker gimmick

as the Sheepherders these two were some of the most over heels ever.Bloodthirsty maniacs.there was also another team to hold the name Sheepherders...... then as the Bushwhackers?insaneley over.and yeah I think their record on PPV is better than the Rockers who were also glorified jobbers. heres the very accurate wiki page on them.a VERY storied history indeed..... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_BushwhackersVinnie of course turned them into a comedy act....which Im sure had many a tongue wagging at the time.

The Fantastics in the Crockett Cup (forget what year) which is crazy as hell cause the Fantastics were a glorified jobber team as well. I hated the nwa promos 'There are tag teams.....and then there are...THHHHHAAAA FFFANNNNTTTAAASSSTTTIIIICCCCSSS"
