The 73-year-old began his career as a football player before making the switch to wrestling in the ‘60s and got his first major break into the sport with the World Wide Wrestling Federation, which is where he got his Blackjack Mulligan name.
Windham moved to WWE, then WWF, in 1982 and was involved in numerous feuds, most notably with Andre The Giant, while forming partnerships with his son Barry Windham, Dusty Rhodes and Dick Murdoch. Trophies followed Windham into WWF too, with the wrestler lifting the WWF Tag Team Championship with Blackjack Lanza in 1975. Windham’s contribution to WWE was recognized in 2006, which is when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
