Luke Williams and Butch Miller started wrestling as The Kiwis for NWA New Zealand (later known as All-Star Pro Wrestling) in 1966, where they achieved a great deal of regional success. After working Australasia and the Eastern Circuit (Singapore, Malaysia, Japan), the duo was booked in North America in "Grand Prix" (Quebec, The Maritimes, Ontario, Vermont), a promotion owned by the Vachon family and Edouard Carpentier, in 1972 by fellow New Zealander Steve Rickard, who was also the booker for NWA Hawaii. In 1973, they were on the Jarry Park Show in Montreal.
Bill Lawson (Eddie O'Reilly), a wharf labourer, loses his job and decides to go out bush to find work to support his wife Elsa (Stella Southern) and daughter Betty. He befriends a well-born Englishman, Kenneth Hillyard (Rawdon Blandford) after rescuing him from two thugs and the two decide to go prospecting together. They have a variety of adventures before stumbling upon a gold deposit. Then while walking along the cliffs one day Bill slips and falls into the river below. Kenneth looks for him but can't find the body and Bill is believed to be dead. Kenneth returns to the city to share the gold with Elsa and Betty. When Kenneth inherits money from an English relative, he proposes to Elsa.
Years later a bush character appears, 'Mad Joe', who is Bill – it turns out Bill survived the fall but lost his memory. He later regains his memory after a hospital operation and tracks down his wife. But once he sees how happy she is with Kenneth, he returns to the bush.

You may know them as The Kiwis, you may know them as The Sheepherders, or you may know them as The Bushwhackers. Once upon a time, Butch and Luke were one of the most feared tag teams in all of professional wrestling. When Butch and Luke made their way to the WWF, they were repackaged as a comedy act, something that a lot of fans believe was a mistake.

Wrestling Bios Presents - The Career of The Bushwhackers
You may know them as The Kiwis, you may know them as The Sheepherders, or you may know them as The Bushwhackers. Once upon a time, Butch and Luke were one of the most feared tag teams in all of professional wrestling. When Butch and Luke made their way to the WWF, they were repackaged as a comedy act, something that a lot of fans believe was a mistake.
Butch Miller and Luke Williams' Hall of Fame career began all the way back in the 60s where the duo, then known as The Kiwis, wrestled for NWA New Zealand. It didn't take long for the tag team to begin travelling to Japan and North America to find work outside of their home country. When Butch and Luke became The Sheepherders, their reputation as one of the most feared and brutal tag teams only got bigger.
Through changes within The Sheepherder's tag team and a reunion of Luke and Butch in the early 80s, the team eventually found their way to Vince McMahon's WWF. Now wrestling as The Bushwhackers, Butch and Luke's gimmicks were totally changed and the Bushwhackers became fan favourites. During their time in the WWF, The Bushwhackers had matches with the likes of Money Inc, The Nasty Boys, The Natural Disasters, The Heavenly Bodies and more. In the end, Butch and Luke both earned inductions into the WWE Hall of Fame.
This mini documentary from Wrestling Bios takes a look at The Career of The Bushwhackers. Topics covered include:
- Butch and Luke working as The Kiwis in New Zealand
- The tag team makes a name for themselves in promotions in North America, including Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling
- The Kiwis become The Sheepherders in Pacific Northwest Wrestling
- Lord Jonathan Boyd replacing Luke in a new iteration of The Sheepherders
- Rip Morgan joining Boyd to create a version of The Sheepherders that did not involve Butch or Luke
- The Fabulous Ones vs The Bushwhackers feud
- The Bushwhackers debut in the WWF and the changing of Luke and Butch's characters
- The Bushwhackers work in the WWF / WWE and their eventual job of helping establish other teams
- Much More!

Luke Williams and Butch Miller started wrestling as The Kiwis for NWA New Zealand (later known as All-Star Pro Wrestling) in 1966, where they achieved a great deal of regional success. After working Australasia and the Eastern Circuit (Singapore, Malaysia, Japan), the duo was booked in North America in "Grand Prix" (Quebec, The Maritimes, Ontario, Vermont), a promotion owned by the Vachon family and Edouard Carpentier, in 1972 by fellow New Zealander Steve Rickard, who was also the booker for NWA Hawaii. In 1973, they were on the Jarry Park Show in Montreal.
Given its heritage and stages that run through Lough Bradan and Killeter forests, the quality of the R5 and Rally2 field is much stronger for the Bushwhacker Rally compared to the LakelandStages a fortnight ago.
