At 63 years old, Big Bully Busick has this physical status:
Busick was an amateur wrestler in high school, and was also an accomplished powerlifter throughout the 1970s. In 1971, he unsuccessfully attempted to break Jim Williams' bench press record of 635 lb (288 kg). He became a police officer in 1973, at age 19. Growing up in the Steel Town Tri-State area of Pittsburgh, Busick was a fan of Pittsburgh's Studio Wrestling, and described Bruno Sammartino as his hero. Busick talked Mike Paidousis into giving him a one-week professional wrestling training course. He wrestled his first match for the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) on May 12, 1978, losing to Billy Red Lyons in the Pittsburgh Civic Arena. Over the next two years, Busick had several more matches with the WWWF (renamed WWF in 1979) when they held shows in the Pittsburgh area, usually as a jobber, though he won at least two matches. He never underwent any other formal training, stating he "learned in the ring". He left WWF in 1981.
In the early 1980s, Busick transferred to the Atlanta Police Department. In Atlanta, he began wrestling for Jerry Blackwell and developed the Bully persona, based on Joe Pedicino's observations of a stereotypical coal miner or steel mill worker. As part of the character, he wore a derby hat and turtleneck sweater, smoked a cigar on the way to the ring, and had a bushy handlebar moustache.
In early 1991, Busick worked for Global Wrestling Federation in Texas. Occasionally he teamed with Bad News Brown.
In July 1991, Busick debuted in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), where he continued to utilize the Bully gimmick. In addition to bullying his opponents, Busick (along with his manager Harvey Wippleman) antagonized fans at ringside, committing such acts as popping a child's balloon with his cigar. He even harassed ring announcer Mike McGuirk, which eventually led to a save from opponent Sid Justice in a quick loss for Busick. After having spent weeks primarily squashing enhancement talent including a wins over Koko B. Ware and Jim Powers, Busick entered into a small feud with the Brooklyn Brawler after the Brawler challenged Busick to match to see who was the real bully of the WWF. The Brawler defeated the Bully by countout. A rematch one week later saw the Brawler fail to dominate the Bully with Wippleman grabbing the Brawler's leg leading to a controversial win for the Bully. Busick spent the remainder of his time in the WWF wrestling against Bret Hart, The British Bulldog, Kerry Von Erich, Greg Valentine, and Jimmy Snuka, before leaving the company in November 1991. Originally, Busick was supposed to be making his pay-per-view debut at Survivor Series (1991) with Col. Mustafa, The Berzerker, and The Skinner but was replaced by Hercules.
After WWF, he worked in the independent circuit until retiring in 1995.
He returned to wrestling in 2011 participating in independent shows. His last match was a victory over Josef von Schmidt for Five Star Wrestling in Weirton, West Virginia on April 19, 2013.
