Days at Convention: Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Jim “Hacksaw” Duggan
Marching into the ring with a 2×4 slung over his shoulder for more than two decades, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan defended America’s honor and enjoyed distinction as one of the most recognizable Superstars in the world.
When the New York native joined Mid-South Wrestling in 1982, he began to develop the personality traits that fans love him for today. After battling Butch Reed for the rights to the nickname “Hacksaw,” Duggan began carrying a 2×4 to the ring. The big man’s block of wood became an iconic part of his persona, but its beginnings were practical. With fans being extremely overzealous and often dangerous at the time, Duggan’s mentor, Bruiser Brody, suggested he lug a weapon to the ring to protect himself. “Hacksaw” grabbed a 2×4 and the rest is history. The 2×4 would be firmly in Duggan’s grasp when he joined WWE in 1987.
