WWE Confirms The Bushwackers as Next Hall of Fame Inductees

PWInsider.com was first to report that Butch Miller and Luke Williams of The Bushwackers would be inducted into the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame class.

WWE has now confirmed through its WrestleMania Twitter account that they will indeed be receiving their induction this year.

Per WWE.com:

“Though they never captured the World Tag Team Championship, The Bushwhackers were always on the front line of WWE, ready to stand up in the face of evil. Luke & Butch battled duos like The Natural Disasters, The Beverly Brothers and Well Dunn, forming an alliance with WWE Hall of Famer Howard Finkel to take on the latter team and their manager, Harvey Wippleman. The Bushwhacker eventually marched out of WWE in 1996. They were welcomed back with open arms by the WWE Universe at WrestleMania X-Seven in 2001, where they took part in the hysterical Gimmick Battle Royal.”

“Fourteen years later, Luke & Butch will take their place in history and become WWE Hall of Famers.”

In a recent interview with Stuff.co.nz, Luke discussed how much being inducted means to him:

“All I can say is ‘about bloody time. I’m proud to be a Kiwi going into the Hall of Fame. We’re the first people from Australia or New Zealand to go in.”

“I’m like an ambassador for the country.”

They now join “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Rikishi and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the only confirmed inductees for the 2015 class. Kevin Nash, Ray Stevens and Alundra Blayze are all rumored to be added.
