Jonathan Boyd
Jonathan Barry Boyle (21 October 1944 – 7 August 1999) was an Australian professional wrestler, better known by the ring name "Lord" Jonathan Boyd. Initially Boyd competed both in North American and international promotions as part of the Royal Kangaroos with his cousin Norman Frederick Charles III. Later on Boyd would team up with Luke Williams as the Sheepherders and compete in many North American federations such as the Continental Wrestling Association, Southeast Championship Wrestling, and Southwest Championship Wrestling. Boyd would also act as a manager for Luke and Butch Miller as they competed under the "Sheepherder" name.
Boyle made his professional wrestling debut in 1965, spending several years wrestling for World Championship Wrestling in his native Australia. After several years, he and his cousin, Norman Frederick Charles III, relocated to North America to compete as the Royal Kangaroos, a name inspired by the legendary tag team the Fabulous Kangaroos.
Boyle and Charles worked mainly for Pacific Northwest Wrestling in Oregon, capturing their first NWA Pacific Northwest Tag Team Championship from Kurt and Karl Von Steiger on 11 July 1971. They won the titles three more times in 1971 and 1972. Boyd would also work in the singles ranks capturing the main NWA Pacific Northwest title on 31 July 1971 when he defeated Kurt Von Steiner for the NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship. Boyd lost the title to Dutch Savage only to regain it a month later on 28 November. On 28 December, Savage once again beat Boyd for the title and subsequently managed to keep it away from him.
From July 1972 to October 1973, the Royal Kangaroos worked for Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. In late 1972, they began a lengthy feud with Art Nelson and Johnny Weaver. During their time in the promotion, they held the NWA Brass Knuckles Tag Team Championship.
Throughout 1974, the Royal Kangaroos wrestled for the Atlanta, Georgia-based All-South Wrestling Alliance (ASWA), where they held the ASWA Georgia Tag Team Championship on two occasions.
In February and March 1974, the Royal Kangaroos toured Japan with New Japan Pro-Wrestling as part of its "Big Fight Series". In addition to teaming together, they also wrestled singles matches and teamed with other gaijin, including André the Giant, Eric the Animal, and Les Thornton. Their opponents included the Yamaha Brothers (Kantaro Hoshino and Kotetsu Yamamoto), Seiji Sakaguchi, Osamu Kido, and Antonio Inoki.
In 1975, the Royal Kangaroos returned to Pacific Northwest Wrestling, where they won the NWA Pacific Northwest Tag Team Championship twice more. They left the promotion again in June 1976.
In January 1976, the Royal Kangaroos again toured Japan, this time with All Japan Pro Wrestling as part of its "New Year Giant Series". Their opponents on the tour included Akihisa Takachiho, The Destroyer, Giant Baba, and Jumbo Tsuruta.
