Big Bully Busick Biography

Big Bully Busick is one of the most popular and richest Professional Wrestler who was born on June 1, 1954 in Steubenville, Ohio, United States.

Busick was an amateur wrestler in high school, and was also an accomplished powerlifter throughout the 1970s. In 1971, he unsuccessfully attempted to break Jim Williams’ bench press record of 635 lb (288 kg). He became a police officer in 1973, at age 19. Growing up in the Steel Town Tri-State area of Pittsburgh, Busick was a fan of Pittsburgh’s Studio Wrestling, and described Bruno Sammartino as his hero. Busick talked Mike Paidousis into giving him a one-week professional wrestling training course. He wrestled his first match for the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) on May 12, 1978, losing to Billy Red Lyons in the Pittsburgh Civic Arena. Over the next two years, Busick had several more matches with the WWWF (renamed WWF in 1979) when they held shows in the Pittsburgh area, usually as a jobber, though he won at least two matches. He never underwent any other formal training, stating he “learned in the ring”.

In the early 1980s, Busick transferred to the Atlanta Police Department. In Atlanta, he began wrestling for Jerry Blackwell and developed the Bully persona, based on Joe Pedicino’s observations of a stereotypical coal miner or steel mill worker. As part of the character, he wore a derby hat and turtleneck sweater, smoked a cigar on the way to the ring, and had a bushy handlebar moustache.
