A Blue Bombers fan dressed like former WWE wrestler Randy 'Macho Man' Savage showed up at the Banjo Bowl tailgate party outside IG Field in Winnipeg on Saturday. The annual matchup between the Bombers and Saskatchewan Roughriders, held on the weekend after the Labour Day Classic, is beloved by Canadian Football League fans in both provinces. Adria Mielke said she came to the Banjo Bowl to "watch the Bombers kick some Rider butt." Stephanie Cram/CBCSome Roughriders fans were jeered as they walked through the crowd dressed as the "Rider Hillbillies," inspired by the hit 1960s TV sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies. It was the Rider Hillbillies' fourth Banjo Bowl, and despite the boos, the group said they keep coming to Winnipeg because Blue Bombers fans are great.
