The Rootin, Tootin Buckaroos

They have been billed as being from Arizona, but whether they actually came from there or wrestled there under  other names is like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg, by virtue of the fact no one knows.

The relative facts of  the matter  have the Buckaroos,  known as Tex Tootin and Rex Rootin, emerging in Ohio in 2007. One may keep up with their exploits at http://www.mcwpro.com who're they are presently active. They are distinct, wearing cowboy outfits and mass with gunfighter mustaches kluged to the faces. For a while they had a manager wearing a mask as well, with pigtails sticking out from the hood, named Side Saddle Sally. Since 2010, she has evidently been sent back to the ranch.

In their interviews they use every western cliche in the book from old Marty Robbing songs to Once upon A Time In The West.  They come into the ring to rollicking country music and use a straddle on the ropes as if riding mechanical bulls to introduce themselves to the audience. They finish off opponents with either bulldog headlocks or a lariat clothesline,  which is of scours what all cowboy wrestlers, good or bad, like to use.

As a tag team, they have pulled ups some wins, but as singles, they tend to come out on the losing side of things. Normally, they are jeered by the crowd, but when pitted against other villains, they are sometimes cheered. One case, again at an MCW card, had Rex Rootin facing Jebediah, who remains easily one of the top heels in the promotion. The fans went for the cowboy, but he still ended up beaten.

As of now, the Rootin, Tootin Buckaroos continue to appear throughout the Ohio/Michigan area and are assumed to be the prime candidates to win an upcoming MCW Tag Team Tournament to be held in the spring of 2011.  Time will tell on this one.

There is a My Space page devoted to the Rootin, Tootin Buckaroos and also a Face Book Fan Page.

If they didn't really come from Arizona, all I can say is...they should have!
