• Where can you begin when talking about the career of Barry Windham. His life has exemplified that of a classic wrestler. He first became known to the nationwide audience in 1984 when he teamed up with Mike Rotundo to form the U.S.A. Express. The two won the WWF tag titles on two occasions, first from Dick Murdoch and Adrian Adonis, and then from The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff. Windham was a young, tall and lanky wrestler with excellent quickness for a man his size. Soon after the Express lost the titles for a second time (to Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake) Windham would leave the WWF.
• After a stint in his old Florida stomping grounds, Barry made his way to the NWA (later renamed WCW). He became a solid star here, winning the NWA tag team titles twice (with Lex Luger and Dustin "Goldust" Rhodes), the NWA U.S. title (from Nikita Koloff), the WCW TV title (from Steve Austin) and the NWA world title (from the Great Muta). He also was a long-time member of the Four Horsemen. Along the way, Windham would return briefly to the WWF in 1989. He was known as the Widowmaker, but wouldn't remain there long before re-signing with WCW.
• In the early 1990s, Windham disappeared from the wrestling scene with a knee injury. But in 1996 he re-signed with the WWF. Calling himself The Stalker, he wore camouflage face paint and camouflage pants. The gimmick didn't fly. So when the opportunity came to join Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw as the New Blackjacks, he took it. Although they were a solid team, they were unable to win the WWF tag titles.
• As 1998 rolled around, Windham found himself a top contender in the organization he was all too familiar with, the NWA, which had become affiliated with the WWF. Windham lost an NWA North American title match to Jeff Jarrett, but a short time later he would abandon Bradshaw to join up with Jarrett and the rest of the NWA.
