Buddy will also be a great fit for the December Memphis set despite never having worked there in his career. Buddy could do a lot, but he may be the most Memphisian non-Memphis wrestler of all-time.

Very happy for this
One of my dream 3 man factions is Buddy Rose, Rip Rogers and Chick Donovan. To get those other two…

 Weighing in at 237… excuse me, a slim, trim 217 pounds, “Playboy” Buddy Rose leads the charge for the Pacific Northwest-based 4-pack coming this fall! Rose made an undeniable and indelible mark in the Pacific Northwest territory. He was famous for his brutal and intense feuds with the likes of Jimmy Snuka and Roddy Piper, at one point setting the latter’s kilt on fire. Rose was a formidable opponent whose in-ring skill was matched only by his arrogance, whether in tag action, going it along, or heading his own “Army”. A true legend of the region, Rose also had famous stints in the Minneapolis area and the Northeast. Other Legends alum he’s shared the squared circle with include Harley Race, The Sheepherders, and Curt Hennig. Add Buddy Rose to your Legends fed when the Pacific Northwest themed 4-pack goes on pre-order on September 10th! Just curious since I know Rose mostly from AWA. Was he much lighter in his PNW days or is 237lbs a mis-print? AWA always announced 271lbs and he corrected to 217lbs |

Rose had an escalating weight problem that really hampered his career and ended up being the butt of the joke in his infamous time in WWF with the "Blowaway Diet" stuff. |

Great news about Playboy Buddy Rose . Sadly I only saw him later in his career with his Blowaway diet gimmick
Most famously in my feds formed tag team The Hotdogs with King Kong Bundy . Created by a post on here someone asked which wrestler would you miss wrestling , to get a hotdog . Playboy and Bundy were top contenders . After a while they split and feuded . Playboy lefty LWF to WCW but recently returned to LWF with Melina as his valet .
