Bushwhackers actually worked WWF from 1989-1996 so their run was a little longer than two years. They weren't really full time guys after 1992, but still had hats, action figures, posters, etc. I think WWF even promoted their restauarnt too.
But they didn't get to NY until they were in their mid 40's! They worked all over the world for over two decades prior to that, working WWF was just icing on the cake. To act like none of the stuff before mattered is just idiotic on so many levels.
