Whoa! Hey! Check it out, mates, as BUSHWACKER LUKE WILLIAMS brings a big ol’ bucket of sardines IN THE ROOM with Brady Hicks, DJ, and Kevin McElvaney for a very special, UNCENSORED WRESTLEMANIA SUNDAY BRUNCH edition of the show. What does Bushwacker Luke think about his more than 40 years in the wrestling business, and what does he think about tonight’s WrestleMania show, as well as his successful runs as a member of both the ultra-violent Sheepherders as well as uber-lovable Bushwackers? Pull up yer listenin’ buds and listen in, buds! WHOA!

On the Transition from Being a Sheepherder to Being a Bushwacker:
It was another thing, mate. We were wanting to get into the WWE for quite some time. Sometimes it’s just the right thing at the right time. They had just gotten rid of the British Bulldogs. We just flew up there and Vince [McMahon] said, “What do you think about being the good guys?” And we were like, “Why not come in as the bad guys and then change us down the line.” But Vince said, “That’s not the way I do things.” Butch jumped up on Vince’s desk, and his nose was six inches to a foot from Vince’s nose, and said to Vince, “If you can make these faces babyfaces, then go ahead.” So Butch says go for it. That was a highlight. So Butch says go for it. That was a highlight. We went up and started doing vignettes every week for a month, and then we came on TBS in Upstate New York  and we were the babyfaces. People were like, “Those guys can’t be those vioent sheepherders.” But we were. We were marching around looking to lick people’s heads and having a good time.

This week, “The Living Legend” himself, Larry Zbyszko steps IN THE ROOM with Brady Hicks, DJ, and Kevin McElvaney to look back at his more than 30 year career in the wrestling business. Check it out as Zbyszko looks back on mentoring under (and turning on) Bruno Sammartino, his war of words with Chris Jericho, the instrumental role he played in WCW’s rise and the New World Order’s emergence, and his thoughts on how to change the business for the better. Plus, the guys offer their WrestleMania thoughts and predictions.

On Keeping Up With The Business:
To be honest, I just don’t find wrestling entertaining the way it is right now. I just don’t watch it. I wish it was better for the new generation, it could be great but they make the guys look like morons. I just don’t watch it because it’s all silly. There’s no suspense. You can see the same crap you saw tonight any night. Boring. They’ve just gotten stale because what they are doing today is the same thing they were doing 15 years ago. I can honestly say for any of these young guys coming up that I can see why they’d rather get involved in that Ultimate Fighting.
