Members: Cletus the Lumberjack & Big Jim
Entrance Theme: Where Did You Sleep Last Night? by Leadbelly
Fighting Style: Dirty
Gimmick: Cletus & Big Jim are tough customers; just ask their former rivals, The Privateers. In a four month war that raged across the Maritimes and Central Canada, it looked as though the dashing team of Bill Davidson & John Blake had the demented lumbermens' number. That was until one hot night in August 2011, the burly loggers wrought their vengeance on the Privateers’ manager, “English Rose” Charlotte Taylor. In an attack so heinous it resulted in the immediate dismissal of the woodsmen, Cletus & Big Jim definitively closed their feud and proved that nothing is beyond, or beneath, them. During their brief stay in GHW they were named the most dangerous tag team in the company, and though the tag titles eluded them, they cut a swath through the meager competition.
Entrance
The dulcet pickings of Leadbelly’s old guitar announce the arrival of the opposition. The Logging Crew stride out into view. Cletus is decked in is trademark black watch cap, Mackinaw jacket, and carrying his double-bitted axe. He's sporting a shit-eating grin and singing along with Mr. Ledbetter, and followed by Big Jim wrapped in animal skins and logging chains. He strokes his moose skins suggestively and is eerily fascinated by his pulp hook. After a moment of arguing with the foul-mouthed fans surrounding them, they begin their walk to the ring. Paying no more attention to the decidedly mixed reaction from the crowd, the loggers make their way into the squared circle and step between the strands. Big Jim eyes his opponents vengefully, as he sheds the moose skin, while Cletus tugs on the ropes a few times, slaps his upper arms and gets ready to start things off.
