He is best known for his appearances with the National Wrestling Alliance and, later, World Championship Wrestling. == Profile == *Height: 6'5" (195.6 cm) *Weight: 275lbs (124.7 kg) *Birthday: July 4, 1960 *Hometown: Sweetwater, Texas *Trained By: Blackjack Mulligan *Professional Debut: 1980 *Previous Identities: Blackjack Mulligan Jr., Blackjack Windham, The Dirty Yellow Dog, The Stable Stud, The Stalker, The Widow Maker *Finishing/Signature Move(s): Professional wrestling attacks#Lariat, Suplex#Super-plex, Professional wrestling throws#Bulldog *Managers: James J. Dillon, Ole Anderson, Yasuhiro Kojima, Terry Allen (wrestler), Robert Fuller, Jim Cornette, Lou Albano == Career == Barry was a fan favorite for most of his early and mid career having great success in singles and tag action. He held tag team championships with Mike Rotundo in both the World Wrestling Entertainment and National Wrestling Alliance. After leaving the WWF in 1985, he was outspoken in his criticism of the "Rock and Wrestling" promotion the WWF was employing at the time. He had memorable matches with Nature Boy Ric Flair. He was part of Flair's group Four Horsemen (professional wrestling) on two different occasions (1988 & 1990 to 1991). His biggest feuds were against Flair, Lex Luger, Steve Borden and Virgil Runnels, Jr.. Much of Barry's early career was in the Florida region of the NWA where Gordon Solie (the Walter Cronkite of pro wrestling) was the head announcer. During one of Barry's WCW runs, he feuded with "Stunning" Stone Cold Steve Austin over the Television title. He also feuded with Austin's fellow Dangerous Alliance members Arn Anderson and Larry Zbysko who "broke" his hand by slamming it in a car door. He formed a very successful tag team with Virgil Runnels III around this time too. When Ric Flair returned to WCW in 1993, Flair and Arn Anderson tried to recruit Barry for another Horsemen run, but Barry became "The Lone Wolf" and won the NWA World Title, feuding with Flair and Arn. In his last WCW run, Barry was part of The West Texas Rednecks. They were supposed to be a heel group to feud with rapper Master P's "No Limit Soldiers" but the southern fans of WCW cheered the Rednecks instead so the angle ended early. The group consisted of his brother Kendall Windham, Curt Hennig and Bobby Duncum, Jr. He was originally brought back to WCW by Eric Bischoff who had him turn on Ric Flair. He was loosely associated with Bischoff's nWo for awhile before forming a tag team with Hennig. In 2001, Barry was part of the Xtreme Horsemen in Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling with Steve Corino and Chris Wright (wrestler). They feuded with Dusty & Dustin Rhodes. == Titles and Accomplishments ==
