Just a Playboy-Superstars Profile#121

"Playboy" Buddy Rose

Real name: Paul E. Perschmann

Hometown: Las Vegas, NV

Membership: The Heenan Family, Beach Boys

A.K.A.: The Executioner 

Finisher: DDT

Background: From brief hero, to crook, to fad diet salesman. What a trip, eh?


Buddy trained alongside the future Sgt. Slaughter but found crime more profitable. In the West, he had established himself as a bold figure, robbing and romancing the ladies with equal passion. By the time he got on McMahon's radar, he had let himself go somewhat.

He tried going as the "Playboy" but that didn't exactly set any records. Bobby Heenan slapped a mask on him and called him the Executioner but he was thoroughly trounced by Tito Santana. 

After that the Brain had Buddy demoted, finally using him to sell a useless weight loss power in the 90s.
