The Sheepherders

A team I'm looking forward to see reevaluated, since their run as the Bushwhackers and the fact that they worked a lot of territories that were not as prominent in footage in prior years has likely caused some people to write them off as a good tag team.

I always found this team fascinating due to their longevity. They will definitely get an A± in that category at the very least. The amount of territories this team worked ( Boyd included) is quite impressive as well.

What's the earliest footage we have of them as a team?

It might be these clips fro IWE Japan:

 

Rusher Kimura/Great Kusatsu vs. Luke Williams/Nick Carter[butch Miller]--9/16/74

Kimura/Kusatsu/Teranishi vs. Williams/Carter/Baron Von Raschke (10/7/74)

 

They're just clips though.

Bix made a fantastic 10 disc comp of them many years ago which I imagine would be worth getting hold of for the purposes of this.

Is there a distinction here? There were pretty much two separate Sheepherder teams by the mid-80s as Butch & Luke stuck together and Jonathan Boyd took on Rip Morgan as his partner.

Underrated brawlers. I'm talking about Butch & Luke. Plus people forgot that when they got into the WWF, they were already past 40 and reinvented themselves pretty efficiently. Yeah, love me some Bushwhackers too actually.

Not seen enough of the other formula, and Rip Morgan kinda sucked anyway.
