Blackjack Mulligan VS Andre The Giant

The way Barry Darsow tells this story is that Andre grabbed Mulligan and threw him through the glass door with one hand. To give one an idea of Andre's incredible strength, long-time fans know how enormous Mulligan was.

[@kevthegoat8774]

Ric Flair also mentioned seeing André drown both Mulligan and Murdoch in a lake at the same time. Mulligan did say they got into It on a few occasions in this interview, of course Mulligan ain't gonna tell those ones 😂

[@chrischar9428]

I love Blackjack Mulligan. Whenever you watched him in a match, as he walks down the aisle, you say to yourself thank God I don't have to face this guy

[@EXPLISITemcee]

He talked smack about Andre WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY after he died .. ..That is like me talking CRAP about Blackjack in 20 years...

[@StevenSpates]

@@EXPLISITemcee in a real fight, I'm picking blackjack Mulligan. He could throw a punch that could knock him out.

[@StevenSpates]

@@EXPLISITemcee I also have to correct you, he is also stated issues about Andre while he was alive. This goes back 30 years. Blackjack Mulligan was not afraid of Andre.

[@bruceneil8]

i was in florida after a match in palatka florida -stopped at a 7-11 after the match ,dusty was there in his red pickumup truck and black jack was in the store getting a 12 pack ,i stood in line behind him ,the man was massive but seemed like a nice guy ,my gf was outside getting dustys autograph -then they were off to party i guess

[@mikejeff6012]

You took Flair in with Dusty at the Fire ,,, was sooooooo awesome

[@TravisLoneWolfWalsh]

RIP Blackjack

[@EXPLISITemcee]

IF i say he is a prick i still have more guts then him because i didnt wait years and years and years and years and years and years to say it like he did about Andre. He was a true COWARD .. TEXAS is a place of real men and he was not one of them based on what he said here.

[@EXPLISITemcee]

When you talk smack about dead people ... Andre died in 93...that was a scumbag move and you know it ..

[@DawnPossession]

Rest easy Andre the giant my favorite of all time

[@ssdj04]

When I was about 7 wrestling came to the local arena. My mom and dad would take me early to try for autographs. This little Japanese car pulls up and all of a sudden, the biggest man I had ever saw emerged from the driver side, Swede Hanson, then an even bigger man got out of the passenger side, Blackjack Mulligan I was petrified They opened the trunk and he put on his cowboy hat and they grabbed their bags. Never got the autographs scary dudes lol

[@DANIELGARCIA-cq3sj]

Great story it's very detailed too so you know he's not lying

[@Mister75199]

Bingo, Andre was a bully to many who never did anything to him. I hate when people try to change history

[@rodzor]

Don't care who won all I know is I wouldn't want to get in between them two. Blackjack is a much better storyteller than his son Barry 😂

[@EXPLISITemcee]

Barry is more of a man then WackJAck ever was

[@TheLOD2099]

Barry is more introverted than Blk Jack but one of the greatest workers I’ve ever seen.

[@strothermartin5368]

I used to work at the Capitol Centre in Landover MD. I saw Black Jack pick up Andre and body slam him. It was 83 or 84. The crowd could not believe what they saw.

[@PassivePortfolios]

Never heard a bad word about Black Jack Mulligan but several wrestlers said Andre was moody and problematic, depending on whom he was working with and how much booze he had.

[@Jim-Tuner]

Mulligan would tend to "try" tough guys if he drank enough. I believe most of Mulligan's story here. But not the part about how Andre was the only one who wanted to fight.

[@PassivePortfolios]

@@Jim-Tuner Agreed. Several other wrestles who commented on this story said the same thing - it takes two drunks to tangle.

[@starwind7041]

The thing about a fight between drunks is its a good bet that everyone else is drunk also. So we will probably never hear the actual truth. ​@PassivePortfolios

[@PassivePortfolios]

@@starwind7041 Both were a bit drunk but not sloppy drunk. It was a legit fight though and Slater clearly lost.

[@EXPLISITemcee]

Andre died in 93........It took that coward years and years and years and years and years to talk GARBAGE about a dead guy who cant fight back.

[@39Hundred]

Barry Windham is a clone of his dad.

[@EXPLISITemcee]

Barry is a legend unlike his dad..his dad is a clown for the lies and BS and chicken things he needed to say 10 years or more years after Andre died..

[@mr.joedirt8583]

An old wrestling pamphlet had Don Leo vs Andre. It read 6'9" vs 7'4." Don Leo was really 6'6" but he was still big enough so that Andre didn't tower over him like most people.

[@chrischar9428]

​@@username-zj9idexcept andre wasn't ever 7'1

[@pooddescrewch8718]

Andre was never 7’4” either . 7’ at most .

[@metallives529]

@@pooddescrewch8718 Exactly maybe even 6 fit 10 or six foot 11.. Everybody was way shorter than stated heights hogan etc.

[@dhornjr1]

Yeah, Kevin Nash himself said he was at the most 6'10" in his prime. Never 7'0" like they said he was. I'm thinking Andre might have been 7'0" at the most at one time.

[@kmfiz]

From my research Andre’s peak height was around 7’1. WWE adds 2-3 inches to their big men. I remember they had Kane at 7’, Undertaker at 6’10, Big show at 7’2.

[@anthonybranco]

My uncle told me that Andre the Giant would go into his Mississauga restaurant and drink a couple of bottles of Blue Nun wine like it was water.

[@MikeCerrooq1zt]

Im in Virginia Beach. Great storys

[@robertpusateri2345]

I heard Barry Windham was sick. Anyone know if he's better?

[@richardcerniglia8417]

He had a heart attack about a year back. I live close to him in Florida, have not heard anything since.

[@MisterBourgolini]

Bob Windham (AKA Blackjack Mulligan), the first generation wrestler. His son is Barry Windham. His grandsons are Uncle Howdy and the late Bray Wyatt (even though they are sons of Mike Rotunda). Lived to be 73 years old, although I don't believe he was 500 pounds at the time of his death.

[@EXPLISITemcee]

Bray and Howdy and Barry and IRS are men but he wasnt ...... he mocked Andre who died in 93 and grew balls WAYYYYY after... that isnt a real man. Dont ever say BRay is compared to WACKJACK cuz Bray was a real man.

[@tonykrawfdadd8904]

U forgot Kendall Windham

[@Bellthorian]

It seems from all the stories I have heard about Andrea, he would test you and if you took it he would bully you but if you stood up to him, he would leave you alone.

[@kevinbrooks1104]

I kinda wish the interviewer would have asked about Bam Bam Barry Gordy. Because he is gone but not forgotten.

[@TravelHall74]

I remember when old man Harmon owned the United 500 in wildwood Florida I was 11 years old a fuel boy and window washer I met you and later Barry windom Best times of my life you even signed my cowboy hat I felt like o was the luckiest black kid in Sumter County Florida

[@billyjoe6933]

Always a big fan of black jack mulligan

[@Jim-Tuner]

I believe most of the story. But Mulligan wanted that fight as much as Andre. Mulligan had a reputation for "trying" tough guys in wrestling. Especially if he was drunk. On the other side, fighting or standing up to Andre would get Andre's respect.

[@harrykadaras9459]

Don Leo was extremely big and powerful, but Andre could even toss him around

[@brokencigarette3017]

The story I heard was told differently before I heard this. They said Blackjack punched Andre for no reason really during cards. They didn't say that Andre was antagonizing him all night and then challenged him to a fight. So it wasn't like Blackjack was just being a bully. Andre was the bully and picked a fight with a man who stood up for himself.

[@MojoMedicineMan]

Great story great villain 👍

[@robinjohnsonpropheticeagle3733]

Pretty sure Andre would have handled him very easily. Love how people say this kind of thing when the other person is no longer around to speak up

[@MikeHart72]

Andre wasn’t exactly the most nimble of people and Blackjack wasn’t that much smaller

[@EXPLISITemcee]

Thank you Thank you! Finally someone with a brain! To me it took WackJAck Bullygan years and years and years and years and years and years to talk trash(RIP ANdre the Giant 1993)

[@brucesturton8521]

In 72-73 don leo and andre had some great matches in Montreal.

[@johngroves9828]

Loved Black Jack and watched him all the way back to when I was probably eight years old or even younger. I could imagine him and Andre drinking & fighting. One of the old wrestlers said Andre once knocked Mulligan and another big man out in a fight one time. Heard of Jack knocking Ole Anderson out, too. Those old school guys were legit MEN. You know, it may have been Dick Murdoch I was thinking of. That guy strong as an ox, too.

[@EXPLISITemcee]

Yeah he ruined his career the day he mocked Andre like centuries after he died buddy........that made him look like a TExas sissy for doing that. I thought real men didnt diss the dead.. and if he dissed Andre in 93 after he died then fine but WAITING and waiting and waiting made him a big pansy.

[@EXPLISITemcee]

He clearly wasnt legit... dissing dead wrestlers? WTF ? Taking over 10 years to diss someone isnt LEGIT ..it makes you a big big sissy ..you dont diss the dead ...show some respect.. he was a great man and turned into a big big sissy for dissing Andre WAY later .. if he was a real man he would have fought Andre or said fk off WAY earlier bro..

[@NickWixx]

Arrogant : having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities. Andre was the biggest strongest, most dominant and most popular wrestler ever at that time. And he knew it because everyone knew it. That is not arrogance at all.

[@richardSmith-mk1wl]

Wow. I forgot how much him and Barry look alike.

Imagine if you kicked my ass and instead of me giving you props .. i waited until you died.. then i said Buckster is a little girl and i kicked his ass 20 years later...that is what WACKJACK Mulligan did to Andre ...

[@dustyttrain]

Love me some Black Jack but he always felt inferior to Andre

[@lmailloux4343]

Andre could have killed Blacksnack just by standing on his chest lol

[@lmailloux4343]

Blackjack Mulligan was beaten and even thrown out of a window by Andre. In the 1970s Leo Jonathan challenged André on the ring and André broke Jonathan's leg. Leo stops wrestling for months because of that match... and leo was taller than 6'6. Blackjack is in Iron Sheik's team. Unloved and beaten by Andre so now they bash him. I met Andre in quebec in 1972, he was a gentleman except if you were an asshole.
