Wild Bill Hickok (actually James Butler Hickok, which doesn't have the same ring) was a gunfighter and sometime lawman. Some credit his shooting of Davis Tutt (1865) as being the first classic gunfight in the history of the west -- even though it actually took place in Springfield Illinois. He was shot in the back while playing cards in 1876; at the time he was holding a hand of aces and eights, known forever after as the "dead man's hand" as a result.
Buffalo Bill Cody (Born William Frederick Cody) was a cavalry soldier and later showman. He was something of a marketing genius.

No. Buffalo Bill or William Cody was a well known buffalo hunter who went on to have a traveling wild west show, with cowboys, real indians, trick horse riders,varying types of shootists, etc.
Wild Bill Hickock was a sheriff or marshall in Deadwood, a town in one of the Dakotas ( South I think ) Best known for his abilities with a gun, shooting his own deputy dead and getting shot in the back of the head while playing poker and holding what is now called a deadman's hand. Aces and eights. ( I think )
