Robert Windham was an essential person in the world of pro-wrestling and his passing is terrible to see. He was by no means the most well known WWE star, but he was a legend in the business that should be remembered. He has one heck of a family tree as well, as you can see from WWE’s post regarding him. The fact that one man was able to be connected to so much is incredible.
Starting off his career in the AWA as “Big” Bob Windham, Mulligan soon joined up with Blackjack Lanza to form The Blackjacks in WWE. The duo won tandem titles across the country, including a reign as WWE’s World Tag Team Champions in 1975, and made their mark as one of the most iconic duos of the 1970s. In 2006, the pair was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by their manager, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan.
Mulligan’s career winded down in the late ’80s, but his legacy continued on as his sons, Kendall Windham and WWE Hall of Famer Barry Windham, entered the ring. Today, his hard-hitting style can be seen in his grandsons, Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt, the boys of Mulligan’s son-in-law, Mike Rotunda.
WWE extends its sincerest condolences to Windham’s family, friends and colleagues.”

On top of it all, he was a hero to the US military, football star, and so much more before he ever even stepped into a WWE ring. To then go on to become a notable wrestler is amazing. He truly lived a big life and will be missed.
