Is junkyard dog in the Jim croce song bad bad leroy brown the same as the wrestler?

No, the Junkyard Dog mentioned in Jim Croce's song "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" is not the same as the professional wrestler known as the Junkyard Dog. The reference in the song is more about a tough character associated with a junkyard, while the wrestler, whose real name was Sylvester Ritter, became famous for his persona in the Wrestling world during the 1980s. The two share a similar name but exist in different contexts.
