It was so nice they did it twice!

Once, Barry Windham was...you guessed it...suspended, and the Yellow Dog graciously offered to pick up all of his contracts and appearances.

As usual, no one was fooled by the Yellow Dog, and Whindam would eventually be unmasked and return to using his regular name. The gimmick wasn't wildly popular since it was so close to the same time as Midnight Rider.

Then, several years later, the NWA went to the same well with Brian Pillman, who lost a loser leaves town match to Whindam. Pillman would go on to frustrate his heel opponents by using numerous other wrestlers under the Yellow Dog mask, such as Tom Z-man Zenk.
