[edit] Bio
Nick Busick (born June 1, 1954) is a former police officer turned professional wrestler who competed in Georgia All-Star Wrestling and the Global Wrestling Federation, but is best known for his brief stint in the World Wrestling Federation as "Big Bully" Busick. Debuting in July 1991, Busick utilized the gimmick of a vintage bully, complete with cigar and bushy handlebar moustache. In addition to bullying his opponents, Busick (along with his mananger Harvey Wippleman) would antagonize fans at ringside, committing such acts as popping a child's balloon with his cigar. He even harassed ring announcer Mike McGuirk, which eventually lead to a save from opponent Sid Justice in a quick loss for Busick. After having spent weeks primarily squashing enhancement talent, Busick would spend his remaining weeks in the WWF losing to popular talent such as Davey Boy Smith, Kerry Von Erich, and Jimmy Snuka before leaving the company in November 1991.
