Barry Windham
Barry Windham was once a true great of pro wrestling. Some of the highlights of Barry's career would include some tremendous battles with Ric Flair for the world title in the early 80's, in addition to being an esteemed member of the 4 Horseman later on in his stint in WCW.
As far as I know, Windham gained the most fame and financial incentive while in the WWF as part of the U.S Express with Mike Rotundo. The U.S Express was manager by "Captain" Lou Albano. They defeated The Iron Sheik and Volkoff for the WWF Tag Team Titles and they lost them to the Dream Team, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and Brutus Beefcake.
My most fond memories of Windham have to include his stink in the WWF the second time around, as The Windowmaker. This only lasted a few months, and have no knowledge of why. The low light of Barry's career, at least of the surface, was his reincarnation into The Stalker character, in the WWF's worst period in recent history, 1995.
Eventfully the WWF refereed to him as "The Stalker" Barry Windham, probably because it was so dam obvious who it was, and fans were really smartening up at that time. Next move was as one half of a newly packaged tag team, The New Blackjacks, which actually weren't bad, but they weren't great either. Windham teamed with Justin Bradshaw (now know as just Bradshaw), for a few months, before his next move.
Then, a few months later, Barry returned to WCW to once again become a member of the 4 Horseman, until he split with the group.
