[@OrbyEvil]

Great work as usual, James. Barry Windham was one of my favorites as a kid. Such a solid worker.

[@1massboy]

Thoughts and prayer to Barry and his family. Hoping he make a full recovery from the heart attack.

[@michaelrood2751]

James actually takes the time to do proper research, even though he isn’t old enough to remember these guys’ careers. Unlike other interviewers who go “ummm any memories of Don Muraco?”

[@charliewise1971]

Is he English?

[@jeffdecker627]

Sounds like a Hannibal reference

[@bladestormviking]

My GOAT. 1st time I saw him I was 4 in 1980. I remember him & Scott McGhee winning the FL Tag Team Title vs The Assassins and crying my eyes out when Jake Roberts collected on a bounty. There was nothing Barry couldn't do. Greetings from West Palm Beach

[@billyrouse4813]

West Palm Beach! I grew up in that area. I was at the last two WWF shows at the West Palm Beach Auditorium.

[@scopewrestling]

@@billyrouse4813 Wasn't one of those the show when Rocky Maivia debuted his black boots vs Rockabilly? I think Hit Man vs Shamrock was the main event.

[@martezberry3164]

I was there for his first wwf match and has been a giant fan since 1984, thats my Guy

[@toma.4808]

The legendary Barry Windham! This man can wrestle! Definitely one of my alltime favorite wrestlers

[@rustykuntz94]

Barry’s 1990-93 WCW work is very underrated. He turned a few times but the one where him and Dustin had the tag team break up & Windham turned Heel at the Clash in late 92 was some great stuff.

[@johnsawh8459]

I watched Barry Windham in CWF when he was been trained, he was a natural from the very start

[@ericpage2442]

Barry Windham vs Ric Flair were some GREAT WRESTLING matches. Loved Watching them work together

[@serristori]

Barry's one hour draws with Flair in 1987 were jawdropping. Then turning heel, joining the Horsemen, with his US title, there was nothing better.

[@raymondtipton7243]

Don't know

[@raymondtipton7243]

2 or 3 one hour draws n 1987

[@stephengrahn9361]

Barry looks just like Blackjack now wow crazy

[@greatesttoysevermade3693]

BW, along with Bobby Eaton, the two best wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots!

[@delmorva9877]

Barry definitely earned his spot. The original and version with Barry r my favorites

[@pivotpointfilms]

Nice. Can’t wait to get to this interview. One of the best. Amazing how a Big Guy can flow n move like BW

[@michaelvaughn8864]

Another excellent interview, sir👍 My compliments. I was a big Barry Windham fan as a teen back in the 80s during my high school years. My only regret with him is not seeing him have a longer run with his brother-in-law, Mike Rotundo, as WWF Tag Team Champs The U.S. Express under the late Capt. Lou Albano😑

[@johnsawh8459]

Blackjack beat up Ole and Gene Anderson in NC when he taught they were being too rough on Barry, not a man to be messing around with

[@johnsawh8459]

Wow, Barry started to train from the age of 6, by his dad Blackjack Robert Windham Mulligan, Dick Murdoch was one of his main influences in the ring

[@georgetucker5610]

Great to see Barry doing well .

[@marcusbrothers5221]

When I was a kid we used to call Barry "Babyface" Whindam because of his young face and chubby cheeks. Now he looks like Santa... but so do I

[@conservativelifeonmars5312]

i am so happy to barry windham. Its a pleasure....

[@FranBushardt]

I would Not have guessed that that was Barry, the looks of some People Never Change, but I did Not Recognize him! Great Ring Worker Face or Heel and the same on the Mic! Great Candid Interview!!

[@tylowe78]

Man I liked watching Barry wrestle. I always remember that time he turned on Luger and joined the Horseman. He held up those 4 fingers and JJ Dillon was walking out behind him. That was so iconic.

[@markcafebrown2883]

James, it’s 11-09-23. This is the last interview I watched and now have watched everyone of your podcasts, Dutch Mantel’s podcast, and The Franchises. I listen to 1 every night and 1 while working out every day 6 days a week. I love you podcasts and Dutches

[@gregorykrug8034]

I was at the Windham-Luger match in person. I was pissed off that Flair went off to join the circus. One thing about Flair "always having the same match" is that I think that his style was ideal for a traveling championship (which his NWA belt was for many years). The idea of Flair having the same match week after week on television was the problem.

[@JamesBuddell-fn6bz]

The concept of the traveling champion was to retain the title and also put the local baby face from that territory over. He had to make the local top guy look better than him. It gives legitimacy to that territory and it also sells tickets for the return match when he comes back. Flair would get dominated but would always pullout the win, out of his ass, at the end. Nobody played that role better than Ric Flair. He was the ultimate traveling champion.

[@gregorykrug8034]

@@JamesBuddell-fn6bz I agree, Flair was a perfect traveling champion, but before KZbin and the deaths of the territories, locals may not have seen Flair wrestle that often, so his spot where he flips over the turnbuckle and runs the apron before getting caught on the neighborsing top rope would have seemed fresh. His flop spot may have actually surprised fans in 1980, but it became a bigger surprise when he did not do it on TBS.

[@billyrouse4813]

I was actually in the crowd for Barry Windham's debut in the original MLW. He debuted at MLW WarGames 2003, The Extreme Horsemen VS The Funkin' Army.

[@j2times2006]

Seems like a cool dude

[@jasonadair9849]

That was awesome at the end no I don't have anything to plug. That's pretty rare now days. Really cool interview.

[@michaelpalermo4047]

BEST VERSION OF THE HORSEMEN was with Barry ...😎❤️❤️😎

[@davemcmichael602]

Anybody have an update on Barry's health?

[@mox19380]

Barry is the absolutely on of my favorite in ring worker. so smooth, strong, and quick. my favorite bump was the one he'd take over the top rope to the floor into the rail. looked real, was phsyically incredible to watch for a man his size and definitely was part of the best four horseman lineup. Wish you'd gotten more time to talk to him. billy jack haynes (not super reliable) tells a story of how a young BW shat in his hat and Billy Jack got permission from Black Jack to fight BW. I'd love to hear BW give his story for the record the only match i know of that windham and spivey were in together was the 92 starrcade battle royal to finish the battlebowl lethal lottery. but maybe they faced off in some house shows LOVE that barry didn't want to plug anything at the end. very on brand

[@CertifiedHuSTLer]

Love your channel!!!!

[@johnsawh8459]

Kevin Sullivan stomping his stomach hurts like hell

[@alkannahcartwright4984]

Windham in his prime was scary

[@Millwall77]

Is anyone hasnt heard already, Barry is at home recovering 👊

[@DavidMccallister65]

What about when him and Dustin would come out to Lagrange from ZZ Top? 😎🤘

[@mikejohnson9876]

The real “ uncle howdy”

[@michaelmadden8269]

I think that was Kendall making an accidental appearance at 1:01:05

[@josephmiller9424]

I always thought black jack mulligan and Stan Hansen would've been even better then the black jacks but did they ever team up

[@brianlogan4243]

they teamed up 1x and defeated Inoki and string kobayashi in 1977

VERY GREAT BARRY WINDHAM FULL SHOOT INTERVIEW !!!!

[@Darren-su2gm]

Its too bad barry didn't go back to WCW in the mid 1990's he could've been a Babyface for WCW verses the NWO or been a tag team partner with Lex Luger.That wouldve been great or reformed the four horsemen with Ric,Tully and Arn before Arn retired.

[@thewhitepanther6052]

Quick question: Was Barry Windham a member of the nwo? Because im pretty sure he was tag team champs in early 1999 with Curt Hennig so i assumed he was in the nwo also?

[@charlesbean7396]

No He was a part of the West Texas Rednecks. Curt sang the song Rap is crap

[@thewhitepanther6052]

@@charlesbean7396 that was mid 1999 im talking january/feb 1999

[@charlesbean7396]

@@thewhitepanther6052 He was never in the Nwo

[@30907bng]

Loosely associated.

[@billyrouse4813]

He was loosely associated with them, but the Hennig tag team was after that.

[@guru77771]

Thanks!

[@behindtheseeyesiseewhatyou8953]

Barry I have a friend who is your biggest fan.. literally man. I’d love for you to give him a shout out… he’s a great guy and beat stage 4 stomach cancer, not he has spinal surgery!

[@drewwhelpley9340]

JAMES, I have a suggestion for the future. Your questions are always great, well researched and insightful, but I would love to hear guys be given an opportunity to talk about something they never get asked about...I know some of these guys need some more prompting than others or it goes off the rails, so I'm sure you know best. Just a suggestion. Great preparation and great job working around what these guys want to talk about and keeping it moving. Great job, bro.

[@marcusbrothers5221]

Kevin Sullivan said Ron Slinker criticized Black Jack's booking loud enough to be invited into the basement. Sullivan said Slinker knew he was gonna be hurt bad but had to save face and fight Bkack Jack

[@Daoloth]

I think Widow Maker was supposed to fit BlackJack as like the Cowboy who leaves pushing up Daisies hehe. If gave Larry some Scratch Off Tickets he would not have sandbagged. The Sid story is good. Road Warriors were the big draw if making 750K not Flair hehe. The Andre story when getting pulled over on way to BAr is great. Him having to run out of Puerto Rico to Car is funny. I liked Stan was not into Midnight Express until he joined. I guess Bobby Eaton was ready for those Dog Collar matches or into Woman when had that gimmick. Ole don't seem popular or well liked but did laugh pretty well when ShockMaster fell or tripped. I barely remember his Bro or the team. I see him in Four Horsemen with Luger over Ole. Crownette Drinking a Beer ;).

[@briankregg6329]

Widowmaker?? Moneymaker!!

[@livingdeadgirl8074]

The child in me has to ask, was Barry the Yellow Dog or was it someone else. Lol.

[@SethHolmes]

Pretty sure Bobby's dog collars were choke chains that he used a in-ring gimmicks that then got tossed out of the ring. I caught one at New York Knockout.

[@Brian-jk6zw]

God bless Barry Windham! To everyone listening know Jesus saves but u have to come to Him! He's waiting for u

This ain't got nothing to do with jesus.....this is a wrestling shoot!

Same exact outfit as his interview w Shane Douglas

[@AllCelebzNElitenNeckMaskz]

thats not Barry 100% clone

[@AllCelebzNElitenNeckMaskz]

Saytannec clowns

[@John-qu9zd]

Barry doesn't seem to be too good as an interview. Too much alcohol and drugs over the years has fried his brain unlike a person like Shane Douglas who isn't fried at all.

[@30907bng]

Barry wasn't a drug guy if you will , I think his shoot interviews a great.

[@michaelrood2751]

Ummm I don’t get that at all

[@Jacobblanton-uc2ke]

You don't know shit. Barry never did drugs. He would drink with the guys after shows. But he was never a drunk. Get your facts straight
