BLACKJACK'S GAMBLE: Blackjack Mulligan | Wrestling True Crime Documentary

[@SomeDumbKid1]

This story has everything, pro wrestling, counterfeiting, tax code changes, glam metal bands, the secret service...

[@lilsunny7399]

See its nice to hear about someone going wrong but making it right, as interesting as "this guy did crime and never stopped" or "this guy did crime and died" stories are. A happy ending is always better.

[@woobgamer5210]

It is nice to see a WTC episode where the ending was actually a happy one, while the last two was 'he was physically fricked due to drugs and nearly murdered someone' and 'her drinking problem caused a crash that killed someone while already a constant nuisance to the police'

When your wrestling KZbin and your true crime KZbin have a child😂

[@justiningram6640]

Literally said that out loud before I looked at comments hahahaaaa!!!!!

[@Moose6340]

I remember watching Blackjack Mulligan in Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling (Jim Crockett) in the late '70s. Dude was a baaaad man. He had some legendary matches with Chief Wahoo.

[@jodyvanliew2514]

Mike Rotundo was Black Jack Mulligan's son in law . Not his stepson .

[@RickRobinCagnaan]

Irwin R. Schyster, right? Mr. IRS?

[@darthnowlan]

Yes.

[@tdizzle7812]

V.K. Wallstreet from the York Foundation

[@CatsClaw44]

​@tdizzle7812 Actually he was Michael Wallstreet with Alexandra York. He became VK Wallstreet when he returned in the mid to late 90s.

[@RyanParreno]

When your old running buddies are Dick Murdoch and Jimmy Snuka and you're the one famous for jail time...LOL

[@goalie5733]

I’m really enjoying this series. And I know from wcw at least there’s plenty of stories of “got arrested but let go without charges” of all sorts of shenanigans- some serious and some light hearted. Depending how far the boys want to with this series, there’s a some serious legs here.

[@jacobroes6006]

As a Floridian who has been to jail a good few times, going to Florida on vacation and leaving on probation is a very popular saying in the hole

[@woobgamer5210]

Seeing all the crazy crimes committed in Florida like 'stealing burger king grease' and 'jizzed in someones burger' and the chronicles of penis man...

[@PlatinumRoseLady]

Fascinating series. Barry Windham was my first wrestling crush.

[@darkkiss7247]

Mine too 😊

[@tonystone1016]

Damn! Muligan was a mountain of a man. 6'7" 300+ pounds. I always enjoyed Barry Wyndham (his son) rasslin career too.

[@Captain_Pudding]

These series are really nice, especially since WWE has all but given up on original content since selling to Peacock.

[@TaosLB]

@captain_pudding well wtf is the Evil series?

[@Captain_Pudding]

@@TaosLB The one thing they didn't cancel this year.

[@Mxyz]

There's been season 1 and 2 of the ruthless agression series, stone colds podcast, plus a bunch of others. They still put up original content lol

[@TaosLB]

@@Mxyz right on!!

[@fortunax22]

Lol WWE ain’t doing a series like this regardless

[@violetboyle2864]

This is such a fascinating story, really enjoyed this video

[@nyarlolhotep514]

Wait... The tax thing write-off thing. Is the I.R.S. gimmick a rib on the Rotunda/Mulligan wresting family? I wouldn't put it past Vince.

[@imarriedabrkfsttaco3737]

Lol! Inspiration's where you find it. Seems like a slam dunk of an angle that fell into VM's lap due to an IRL situation.

[@Justin_North]

"Called a friend who then called the authorities" well obviously he didn't call that good of a friend.

[@ajourneysaved4311]

This just makes the irs gimmick more personal.

[@moopert86]

Heard mention of this multiple times on Jim Cornette's show, nice to get the whole story. Great vid

[@mrdethbuzzard4885]

Mike Rotunda (or Rotundo) is Blackjack Mulligan's son in-law, not stepson.

[@mringram]

Yep!!!!

[@lambdalambdalambdaa]

I don't even understand how he f*cked that up considering immediately after he said maternal grandsons knowing they're IRS' children

[@travismiller4320]

I believe he’s married to Blackjack’s daughter Stephanie Windham, someone should have caught that.

[@jamminmusicman]

Awesome video 💯 I enjoy this series and hearing the story of how Blackjack Mulligan and his son Kendell Windham went to jail would make a great movie 🎬📽️🎟️ Keep making more videos in the series !!!

[@earlhannaway3188]

He was one of the nicest guys in the wrestling business. He was also one of the toughest in and out of the ring . If u showed him respect he would respect u back. He was always a gentle giant to me love him as a person. I know he regret his mistake RIP Blackjack was great knowing u put a good word to the big man for me!

[@VinnieDangerous]

Wrestling has some of the craziest stories

[@thomasfriday1]

I used to work with a young lady whose Grandmother was a former Playboy playmate. She told me that her Grandmother used to "date" two wrestlers back in the day. Who were they you ask...Barry & Kendal Windham.

[@tonystone1016]

Lucky lady!

[@mrbrooklynny]

Make this an every Sunday thing please. I'll even help find content for this segment.

[@raiderdanCA]

I really miss my favorite rasler' BLACKJACK MULLIGAN. He was one of the greats of all time, and I watched hundreds of his matches on TV and in person ... I remember while in college and watching him pin another "bad guy" in the 15th row of the Cumberland County Coliseum in Fayetteville, NC --- he blew the doors off the place and was wildly cheered. He carved his own unique niche in the Wrestling World and he was my Hero ! As he used to say, "BELIEVE WHAT I SAYYYY !"

[@duozero00]

loving these True Crime stories

[@ArcherSuh4721]

Compared to the crimes committed by other wrestlers, this was so mild it's almost cute...

[@jvstice56]

Blackjack did the best thing: admit he screwed up and made amends. I want to hear more about these types of stories over ones like Tammy Sytch. Granted with her, I hope the judge throws the book at her since at this point, prisons is her best, and arguably only, real option left.

[@MyNameIsUnavailable]

Rotunda had an IRS gimmick. You know DAMN WELL he has his financial affairs are in order. 🤣

[@DzHarryNuttz]

BlackJack looks like a bigger Don Frye

[@joeywrestling9536]

This series is incredible! Really hope you keep it up. Thank you for the great content, mates!

[@joeshippers7296]

We need more of these

[@two2erisfans]

Kevin Sullivan's Army of Darkness got into Mulligan and Kendell soul.

[@darthzoprina3630]

Keep this series going! I’m loving it!

[@pamelavyse]

Really excellent job! Very interesting!

[@tedfio1tedfio1]

I worked out at Gold's Gym and drank with Windham (Bray) in his hometown Brooksville. A good young man, may he RIP.

[@CristianLL]

Great video ♥️ You should make a video on the history of Sunday night heat, Velocity, and the new Superstars and Main Event. Would be nice to see the rise and fall lol 😂

[@Maplestmovies]

If Rip Wheeler was a real person it'd be Blackjack Mulligan

[@SICresinwrks]

Love this new series

[@mringram]

Great series

[@andrewrobles8814]

As much of this as possible please

[@Nbflowers1989]

I'm enjoying this new series!

[@Look_Dad_Old_Tunes]

I'd never heard of this one. Thank you.

[@IceSkreamNG]

love these type of videos!!!

[@maxb4210]

The background music is perfect

[@jerranspearman3369]

good video

[@nickfromohio6032]

Kind of nuts how you can make all the right moves up to any point and a change in laws or circumstances outside of your control turns your whole life around.

[@dewayne739]

Good morning doc

[@Meatball2022]

He worked for Eddy Mansfield? Isn’t that the guy that busted the pro wrestling secrets on 20/20?

[@MyNameIsUnavailable]

Eddy wasnt the first Eddy wont be the last

[@geraldcooper284]

This gets a like 30 seconds in! Never heard anything about this!

[@lilpoetat]

thanks!

[@JackieAprileJr]

Damn! Two real men taking responsibility for their acts. Don't see that much anymore

[@pharoah418]

So Reagan was technically to blame for all of this. Can't say I'm surprised.

[@nothingislogical]

IRS would be Blackjack Mulligan's son-in-law, not stepson. Stepson would mean that Blackjack married IRS's mom. IRS married Blackjack's daughter and they gave birth to Bray and Bo.

[@ts.elliot5870]

I had such a crush on Barry Windham. God he was so hunky!

[@ahmeddar3578]

Fair play! Good men.

[@danharrell2024]

Mike Rotunda is Blackjack’s son-in-law not his step son.

[@harveymcelroy9332]

No Mike Rotonda was Mulligans son -in law

[@1980bwc]

Mike Rotunda, isnt Mulligan's step son. He's his son-in-law.

[@MstrCorrin]

So now when they say Bray is 'good with money' and doesnt have to wrestle if he doesnt want to ever again... I joke I joke.

[@Chadster43713]

Blackjack was inducted into the WWE HOF in 2008...not 2006.

[@DwayneHall-gt9tf]

I know a lot of your story is True, And a lot is not True. I was there.

[@1980bwc]

Rotunda wasnt his stepson. He was his son-in-law.

[@blitzerblazinoah6838]

The Federal Reverse didn't like the competition from Blackjack Mulligan.

[@donjohnson1498]

Tough break for Jack and that toothpick Kendall. But it cost wrestling fans, because Barry was priming for a run with Hogan.

[@leemcglinchey21]

It’s such a tragic story. She was a beautiful woman with the world at her feet. But she could get that devil off her back. Fair play to WWE for everything they’ve done for her. We only ever hear the bad stories from them.

[@pandavelli8176]

Who Blackjack Mulligan?! I don’t know if I’d call him a beautiful woman…

[@italion9101]

Could be both😮

[@philiptamer8995]

Wouldn't that have been the FBI instead of the secret service ?

[@philfredericks5198]

Mike rotundo is his son in law

[@tombergen8337]

Mike Rotunda is BlackJack's Son in Law

[@darilcaldwell31]

Mike rotunda is black Jack mulligan son in law not step son

[@tdluv420]

Wouldn't Mike Rotunda be his son in law?

[@bradbarley6639]

Jack would pick a fight with just about anyone including Andre the Giant... And he got his ass handed to him by Andre as well...

[@richardjennings9904]

imet blackjack in1973 at the conway sc new gy he an ric flair were tag teaming black jack was huge biggest hands i ever saw they lost to swede hanson an some russian

[@duvipearson6251]

Holy shit Brey is related to Windham wtf

[@kevinbrooks1104]

I like black jack rip

[@georgenicholson6080]

Rotundo was Blackjacks son in law not step som

[@bravojohnson5050]

Stepson mike rotunda? U mean son in law

[@dizzy1369]

His "friend" was a 🐀

[@OhSoNasty]

@Connor, the android sent by CyberLife sounds like you're one too

[@kevinjustice7694]

Raised in Florida

[@MyNameIsUnavailable]

Son In Law

[@Bay_Area_Landlord510]

Son in law you mean?

[@jeanpaulsinatra]

As with most stories, the real villain was Ronald Reagan

[@Saluteme10288]

All I heard was rat rat rat rat rat!

[@stephencullity4786]

He was probably a republican 2

[@pandavelli8176]

Yeah he seems like he had a lot of common sense

[@PunkSlapper123]

Kendall wasn't a great worker in the ring. He sucked. Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda were excellent. Blackjack Mulligan was decent in the ring but nothing special.

[@johntoes7542]

Check your "facts" . Rotundo is his son in law, NOT his step son
