3Bruce Alan Woyan (June 14, 1959 – February 7, 1992) was an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er from St. Petersburg, UsefulNotes/{{Florida}} as "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer. He was, as should be evident, known for his crazy antics. He primarily competed for various Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance territories in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Alabama) but also in the Pacific Northwest promotion in UsefulNotes/{{Portland}} and in UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}}, as well as for World Class Championship Wrestling in Dallas, the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico, for Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling, Wrestling/{{WWE}} and for Wrestling/{{WCW}}. Among his in-ring achievements, he was a [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/tx/wccw/am-tv.html World Class Television Champion]], an [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/al/secw/se-tv.html#80 NWA Southeastern Television Champion]] and an [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/nwa/others/nat-h.html NWA National Heavyweight Champion]]. He died of a drug overdose on February 7, 1992 at the age of 32.

6* {{Animal Motif|s}}
7* ArchEnemy: '''TOMMY RICH''', for starters. They had an epic, bloody feud in Georgia. Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors, after Buzz left the Legion of Doom.
8* AxCrazy: Known for being a loose cannon in the ring who was prone to snapping, and who might randomly decide he'd rather hurt his opponent than win the match.
9* BaldOfEvil: He was bald on top, and he was not a nice guy in any sense of the word.
10* BashBrothers: With his brother Brett, Matt Borne, Wrestling/KevinSullivan
11* BeardOfEvil: Grew a patchy but full beard.
12* ChainedByFashion: Sometimes wore a chain around his neck like a leash to go with his Mad Dog/Bulldog gimmick.
13* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When he began wrestling he was a clean cut, slender babyface with a full head of curly hair.
14* FinishingMove: Powerslam, Flying Splash
15* HardHead: While attending Dixie Hollins High School, where he was on the wrestling team, he would hammer nails with his forehead at half time during the football games.
16* LaughingMad: Oh gosh, just watch [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di78fuSrokY this clip]]. It's the same one used for NoodleIncident on Sullivan's page. Buzz starts ranting about muscleheads and truck drivers before he completely loses track of whatever point he was trying to make and goes back to laughing.
17* JustForFun/OneMarioLimit: WWE renamed him "Bulldog" Buzz Sawyer because Mad Dog Vachon was in the promotion at the time.
