Windham is a second-generation wrestler. The son of the late great Blackjack Mulligan, Windham is best known for his time in the National Wrestling Alliance and World Championship Wrestling, where he held titles including the NWA/WCW world title, United States title, the World TV title and the world tag-team titles.
