Big Thuggee as Haku seems weird

Yet the Grunge Bros as The Bushwhackers is fine? lol

Who would you use?

Haka Tonga, unfortunately, is the only Samoan type guy, and he’s clearly more Superfly than Headshrinkers. I don’t know what you’d do with them, so Slave Drivers by default I suppose.

Maybe the Mullet Cousins can stand in for the Bushwackers? Seems more appropriate

End of the day, these were my interpretations. They are in no way meant to be like for like or the law for everyone to do the same thing.

Some of them were easy enough, some were pretty simple (Blitz as Hacksaw for instance), some were really tough so I had to think outside of the box.

I would probably have used Nerd Alert in the Bushwhackers role because they would probably be at about the same level as far as their spot on the roster. Also there was brief time when the Bushwhackers were managed by Jamison who was a huge Nerd/Geek/Dweeb so there could be that connection.

I really like this idea by the way, I might give it a try sometimes as well
