For just a few weeks in 1984, Buzz Sawyer looked like he had everything. One of the toughest and most believable wrestlers in America had finally arrived in the WWF. Paired with Captain Lou Albano and repackaged as "Bulldog" Buzz Sawyer, he appeared destined for the biggest stage in professional wrestling. Then... he was gone. According to his brother Brett Sawyer, a backstage dispute over money escalated into a physical fight with Vince McMahon himself. Whether every detail of that story is true remains a subject of wrestling lore, but one fact is undeniable: Buzz Sawyer's WWF career ended almost as quickly as it began. In this video, we trace the incredible rise and tragic fall of one of wrestling's most naturally gifted performers—from his legendary feud with Tommy Rich and the brutal Last Battle of Atlanta, to his brief WWF opportunity, championships in World Class and the UWF, his notorious wrestling school, and the personal demons that ultimately claimed his life at just 32 years old.
