[4.0] "Its cute that he went for the "old timey carny grappler" look. I like the gimmick in theory. I forever appreciate that he used the STUMP PULLER! But he was kinda small, killed the gimmick in execution. You can't be a bully in the WWF and not be any taller than Jim Powers. Because of the gimmick, look and size - he painted himself into a career corner and went NOWHERE. All charm, no actual substance or true worth."

"I liked this guy as a kid, his gimmick captured me and he looked powerful in the ring. Would have liked to see more of him in the WWF at the time when I discovered wrestling."

Beat some jobbers, then when they clued in that the gimmick sucked, they put him in there with Sid Justice who crushed him in mere seconds and Busick left the company just before Survivor Series. He was replaced by Hercules on his team."

[8.0] "I can't say much about this guy except that he was built for the gimmick. An excellent gimmick, and a good worker who was never given his true potential."

[7.0] "aw come on! The Big Bully wasn't so Bad ! He was just a lil old timey - whats wrong with that? Do people even realize they are trying to do this exact same gimmick today with the Vaudevillians? They just don't have the size as Big Bully. Some people look back at these silly gimmicks and think it was the worst of wrestling, but I enjoyed them - it was obviously done for some humor, but it made the show colorful. The guy still looked pretty tough and I doubt any would test the guy, even with his silly gimmick. Don't hate on Bully Busick or he'll PULL YOUR STUMP!"

[3.0] "Big Bully Busick and the ol Stump Puller. Lol. It was a unique gimmick during an era in WWE when everyone was a clown, or a race car driver, a plumber, a hockey goon. He did make it onto WWE programming but lost footing in short order due to having very little depth, and a very small platform with which to try to promote his character a lot. He was a barrel chested, throwback to the 50s style of circus strongman wrestlers in look. The gimmick was supposed to a cartoony 1920s newspaper comics "Bully". As Bluto is to Popeye."
