Wrestling
has always had its share of so-called "momma's boys."
Jim Cornette is famous for his schtick, as is Crybaby Cannon.
During the GWF's brief run, another of these gimmicks appeared,
in the form of "Crybaby" Buxton.
Now, Francis
didn't call himself Crybaby, and quickly corrected anyone who
did. But it didn't take much for "Mama's Heavyweight Champion"
to throw a temper tantrum in the middle of the ring...
Buxton, like
the rest of the GWF didn't survive for long, and disappeared shortly
thereafter. Francis, under the name Lolly Dude, went on to start
a pizza parlor in Mississippi, and promoted wrestling cards. The
most recent I've seen of him, he was announcing for the World
Wrestling Alliance last year, and was barely recognizable from
his Crybaby days.<
