- THE WINDHAMS | Wrestling's Greatest Families (Episode 5)
A lot is made of how successful the major families in wrestling have been over the generations. And sure, when you think of names like the Hart’s, the Anoa’i’s, or the McMahon’s, it’s certainly hard to deny this is the case. That said, there is one wrestling dynasty which has been able to build up a name for itself more quietly throughout both the 20th and 21st centuries. And the fact that it’s gone so relatively under the radar is eve more impressive when you consider the fact that, amongst its lineage, it boasts multiple World Champions, Hall of Famers, and arguably the most talked about figure in WWE today. Who are we talking about? Why the Windham family of course. So, with that said then, join us today as we take a deep dive into their entire family history as we go all the way from Blackjack to Bray in The Windham’s: Wrestling's Greatest Families Episode 5.

The Windham/Rotunda family are honestly under appreciated as one of wrestling greatest families. Good video.
Texans are the foundation of the wrestling world
Yes them and the Rhodes family both
Yes, each area of the world just has that one or two families. These are two of the best, right here. 🙏
RIP Bray Wyatt.. will be remembered forever.
Bray’s return was awesome! Totally glad he was brought back yesterday. I never knew The Windhams had so much history in WWE! Let Him In. ⭕️🐇

Yeah he does have the whole world in his hands.
A video on The Windham Family a day after Bray makes his return to the WWE? HECK YEAH!!!!
Enjoy bro🤘🏻💪🏻🐇⭕️
LET THEM IN!!!!!!
Love it and thank you for posting.
Hell no
Bray needs to be more like blackjack lanza
RIP Bray 😢Fly high and thanks for the memories. I'm so glad that I got to meet you and have a photo made with you and your autograph. You have a heart of gold.Gonna miss you.
Rest In Peace, condolences to the Rotunda Family...
Seriously though Barry Windhams betrayel towards Lex Lugar and then joining the Four Horseman is one of the biggest and best heel turns in the history of wrestling....i actually remember watching it happen in disbelief
Absolutely 💯 I can remember watching too in disbelief jaw dropped
@Patrick Adams, 100% agree!!! Barry Windham's heel turn was 10× better than Hulk Hogan's. A better heel turn would be a possible Magnum T.A heel turn on Dusty Rhodes.
Incredible family. Let HIM do whatever he wants. Welcome back, Windham.
Bo Dallas was and is still, so underrated
No lies Bray Wyatts return was one of the best of all time...can't wait to see where this ride is heading to 👌🏻👌🏻... awesome video man 🔥
Agreed bro, goosebumps moment, the crowd was louder than they have been in years, appreciate the support as always man, hope you enjoy the vid 🤘🏻💪🏻🐇⭕️
It will lead to a bunch of boring matches where he gets gassed after six minutes
@@WRESTLEWITHANDY did Bray Wyatt's WWE return have more pop and ratings viewing than CM Punk's AEW debut???
''One of the best of all time..
''Bray Wyatts return was one of the best of all time''. LMFAO. How many years have you been watching wrestling? Serious question.
@@williamgregg6339 no need to be condescending, rewatch it and the crowd reaction was easily one of the best in modern times at least
The Windham family is criminally underappreciated. They deserve just as much recognition as the Anoi and Rhodes families. Black Jack would be proud if he saw how successful his grandson Bray has become.
It's unveliabable that IRS is related to Blackjack Lanza..
@@Nostalgicguy2242 he's not. JBL is lanza nephew
@@Nostalgicguy2242 as stated in the video IRS is his brother n law
@@chriswoodward1589 If you remember for a time he came out as black jack Bradshaw
His grandfather is watching from above...don't worry.
Not only did Bray come back, which is awesome, reportedly Bo is coming back too. Would love to see if he’s part of Brays stable
If David von eric never died the von eric family would be one of the best families in wrestling history
David was the best of the bunch. he might not have had the roid body like kerry but he was best on the mike and could go in the ring(second was kevin) the rest stunk lol
I remember Black Jack Mulligan from the Crockett production days. I also remember him getting knocked out by Rufus R "Freight Train" Jones in Norfolk.
Just when you think the wrestling weekend couldn’t get better… in comes Andy for one last treat!!
Appreciate you bro, hope you enjoyed the vid🤘🏻🤘🏻
Don't forget Barry's son, Jesse Windham.
I would have loved to see
Barry Windham
vs.
Magnum T.A
I loved IRS’ tax cheats speech prior to matches in the early 90s lol
RIP Windham Rotunda, Bray Wyatt. Gone way too soon, tragic.
Rest in peace and God bless Bray Wyatt you will be forever missed by everyone.
Hart Family, Windham Family, Mavia/Anoa'i Family, Mysterio Family, Vachon Family, DiBiase Family, Guerrero Family, Orton Family, Von Erich Family all got three plus generations in their families.
I must be getting old because I remember watching everyone of these family members wrestle
I really hope that Bray will be given a much better booking run than in his last two incarnations. The fact that he was practically wasted due to Vinnie Mac not getting the gimmick is simply criminal!
Man I liked Bo Dallas' reign as NXT champion, his reign was very underrated and never talked about, which is ashame I remember being a kid and loved the way how he won the NXT championship against Big E. Bo is very underrated even in NXT
For sure man, always been a huge fan of him 🤘🏻
Remember watching his grandfather, uncles and of course their father. It’s good to see him back.
RIP Windham Rotuna
Man I’m so ready for the Von Erich’s edition of these family videos
The Von Erich's family legacy vs. the Armstrong family legacy. Which had more impact on the business???
@@Mr.Majestic77 armstrong imo i always thought the von erichs were overrated
Nah. Much too sad and tragic.
If Barry Windham had the drive to continue wrestling, he would be considered an all-time great
6:08 he was only pushed for the IC title, but he backed out in October 89 because of Blackjack and Kendall were arrested for counterfeiting.
When keeping kayfabe goes too far.
@@thegame7134 but really unexpected, The Widowmaker( Barry Windham) had the look to be pushed huge
My prediction for the Wyatt family:
The Cult Leader: Bray Wyatt
The Fiend: Bray Wyatt
Abby the Witch: Liv Morgan
Ramblin’ Rabbit: Bo Dallas
Huskus the Pig: Joe Gacy
Mercy the Buzzard: Dexter Lumis
But you can’t help but think about it too. Alexa Bliss in there? Karrion Kross in there? If so, what about Scarlett Bordeaux? If Dexter Lumis is there, then what about Indi Hartwell, Candice LeRae or Johnny Gargano?
Your so wrong 😂 this is not even close
abby is definitely nikki cross
Windhams... Greatest?
The Harts would like a word with you.
Great video, Andy! What a return from Bray Wyatt last night! I honestly think that was the best and most creative return of all time. And what a pop he got! It was just so good, man. It's cool to have learned more about the Windham family, so thanks, Andy.
Agreed bro, one of the best moments we’ve seen in years, loudest pop aswell, appreciate the support man, hope your enjoy the video🤘🏻💪🏻🐇⭕️
@@WRESTLEWITHANDY Agreed! And yeah, I will defintiely enjoy this one! I love your videos, man. Keep uo the great work!
I love how these wrestling families are still going strong.
Good choice of a video, considering last night's NO SPOILER moment!
🐇⭕️
I gotta admit I just realized how truly impressive your videos are just how good you are at getting the information and the times and dates then putting it in action and turning it into a story very impressive best job
I really like this series. You should do one on the Orton Family, Guerrero family, and the Colon family.
I didn't know Bo Dallas had to retire because of an injury that really sucks
This man is back the goat is back won both world title more on the way
Bray Wyatt returns to WWE was 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
One of the greatest moments I’ve seen in years
@@WRESTLEWITHANDY Now can you do Ronda Rousey ?
Barry was a ridiculous talent in the mid-80's. Dude could be a face or heel equally well and have a credible match with ANYONE.
The timing is exquisite 🔥
Mike Rotunda was an ace wrestler. Incredibly skilled technician who was deceptively fast and agile. He had a couple really good runs in the NWA/WCW and then WWF, but as good as they were he was always just not pushed quite enough. With the Varsity Club they could have done a little more and with IRS, despite the incredible success of Money Inc. (even after all these years later with DiBiase), one feels IRS should have had at least one Inter-Continental Title run (yes, IRS did have the title for like five minutes in 1994 after beating Razor Ramon before the match was voided and re-started). Or another tag-team run with Bam Bam Bigelow. Oh, and who can forget the almost tag-team to be "Death and Taxes" with IRS and the Undertaker.
So basically Bray Wyatt is the brother-in-law of Liv Morgan?!
You’re late
How so?
@@jayy7307 he probably thinks that cause shes dating bo dallas
Fantasy booking:
A Firefly Fun House Match between Bray and Cody. Show their previous failed gimmicks, maybe have cameos from Bo and Dustin as Goldust. Middle portion looking like an old school mid south wrestling brawl, "but what happened when they reached the big leagues?" Cody is in polka dots freaking out, Bray is in the dress shirt and suspenders.
"Maybe our fight is with a greater foe"
Cue up McMahon family sizzle reel, have Cody and Bray shake hands, pummel the Vince puppet and walk out as a tag team that can still occasionally work main event singles
It could work as a long promo.
Rest In Peace Bray Wyatt Thank You for all The memories
Please do von erichs
Wow I never knew the Rotunda family was prominent in wrestling, I just thought Bo Dollas was the only family Bray had in wrestling
Mike Rotunda and Rick Steiner as the varsity club in my mind ranks only below the Road Warriors, Rock N Roll express, Midnight express, and Steiner Brothers in tag team greats.
Hart Foundation? British Bulldogs? Demolition?
This was legitimately the first and only wrestling based YT video I've ever watched from beginning to end in one sitting. My favourite wrestling family and Bray Wyatt is my favourite wrestler. You were right about the last part we did get a brand new incarnation of the character. Glad they're taking it slow this time unlike The Fiend.
This was so true. This comment made me so sad to see now
IRS is my favorite from the Windham/Rotunda family.
Don't forget about Kendall Windham (Barry's younger brother). Nevermind. He was also mentioned lol. Also, there is the third generation family member in the Pro Wrestling business, Jesse Windham (Barry's son and cousin of Bray Wyatt & Bo Dallas). There were a lot of "unfortunates" for the Windham family in the WWE. They come into the WWE, with a lot of potential, only to fade out of the promotion.
Next up should be a bio on the Armstrong family.
The WCW was good to them Barry and Kendall both tagged on and off with Bobby Duncun Jr. as well as Curt Hennig and the four of them eventually tagged with Virgil/Vincent/Curley Bill as the West Texas Rednecks
i guess Jesse has hit a few superplexes for the win
I Really Think They Should Have a Video about The Orton Family Randy Orion Cowboy Bob Orto. Bob Orton Sr Barry O Family and The Guerrero Eddie Guerrero Chavo Guerrero Jr & Sr Vickie Guerrero
Don't forget Dom Guerrero lol
Seems like Bray Wyatt is this generations Mick Foley. So many awesome characters and the fans would welcome them like Mick was with Mankind, Cactus Jack, Mick Foley, and Dude Love
I never knew The Windams are a Wrestling family. Thanks for the new video, Andy 🔥🤩🥰
Yeah, a lot of greats in one family. Appreciate you, hope you enjoy the video 🤘🏻💪🏻🐇⭕️
@@WRESTLEWITHANDY Thanks you too 🐇⭕
I was watching this Yesterday only for Bray to say at Crown Jewel 'I'm from a wrestling family' - I knew about his dad but not the full extent. Fun coincidence.
Bo Dallas has always deserved better!! I really fucking hope ge is given the opportunity to rectify his career and join Bray in success.
I love bray and Bo , Bray is great and Bo needs to get back to WWE I love them
I was a Barry Windham/ Dustin Rhodes fan for years and never knew what really happened between them. Tag Teams dont always stay together.
Love these episodes highlighting wrestling families.
Cool video . I was a kid watching the blackjacks . This definitely bought back some good memories .
Your channel is full of spectacular wrestling content
Keep it up manh🤗
Appreciate your support bro 🤘🏻⭕️🐇💪🏻
Whaaattt I didn’t even know Liv Morgan and Bo Dallas were dating, I didn’t even know Bo Dallas had to retire due to neck injuries
I look forward to your uploads! Thank you and much appreciated
Appreciate the support Amelia, hope your enjoy todays video 🐇⭕️🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great video, thanks!!
Appreciate the support man, hope you enjoy the vid 🐇⭕️💪🏻🤘🏻
That picture of Bray was taken for College of the Sequoias in Visalia, Ca. I played on the same team for a year, pretty cool how far he came is an understatement.
IT'S WRESTLE WITH ANDY AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!
SO...
FEED YOUR MIND
&
LET HIM IN...
🐇⭕️ let him in
I was there live and it was just so electric and magical and I’m sooo happy bray was back
Awesome man, your were a part of history, that had to be one of the greatest returns in wrestling history 🤘🏻
I remember when the Wyatts faced down the SHIELD in the middle of the ring. Place went ape shit
That family has a Cowboy, a Horsemen, an Accountant, a Boliever, and a horror movie villain.
Rest in Peace, Bray Wyatt. You shall be missed.
Rest in paradise Bray Wyatt 😢🙏
I'm so happy that Bray Wyatt is back in WWE I can't wait to see what he does next especially since Triple H is in-charge of Creative and Vince McMahon is retired this is going to be so awesome Can't wait.
you are the goat of wresting content, please never stop✊🏽!
appreciate the support bro, plenty more vids coming your way 👊🏻🤘🏻💪🏻
I learn something new everyday 😳
Where is the king Jerry Lawler and vince mcmahon story???.
Great job 👍 keep it coming 🙂. Love the video.
Barry Windham was with Horsemen before he went back to the WWF doing the Widowmaker gimmick
Always been a loyal fan of the Windhams for many many years....
You can definitely see the resemblance with Bo and Bray to their uncles and grandfather.
The return was sick andy
With Bray's return and Triple H as the head of creative, there's a high probability that Bray will be among the most popular draws in the WWE. If Pauls Levesque and Heyman are smart, and they are (given both track records), they will keep Bray away from the title scene as him being a champion isn't what made Bray nor the Fiend popular. Have Roman be the champion and Final Boss until the time is right to pull the trigger. As it stands right now, people are slowly turning on the Bloodline story, which is good as the seeds of dissention have been planted.
Something akin to a current day Undertaker/Mankind? Don't need the belt to be over.
@@rayvenkman2087 Exactly.
Such a shame we never got to see what was next from that beautifully twisted mind rip
Bo Dallas has story to finnish now
The Hart family is still the GOAT
R.I.P Bray
I think some of these talents were let go just to bring them back as an absence would increase interest in them and allow for creative, especially under HHH to have something better for them on a return. Bray should be a top star for years to come.
It seems to have worked out well for Bray in this case.
I still can’t believe that Bray Wyatt is Back in WWE
Let Him In ⭕️🐇
One of the best return in WWE History 🤘🏻🐇⭕️
Isn't it the Rotunda family and not the Windhams?
Windham-Rotunda would be more accurate but it's a bit too much longfor the title, also sad that there was no mention of the varsity club Rotunda was a big part of (even being nwa mid atlantic world tag champs with steve williams whom he also won the world's strongest tag determination league in 2000 with) but the subject being the windham could the reason you didn't talk to much about irs
Thank you for the reminder all of the Windham Family Wrestlers. I watched all them threw the years and did not relate them. This is awesome 👍👍😎
Bray wyatt was the guy who got me back into watching wrestling in 2014.
Great video as always.
@wrestle with Andy ...
He was a Horseman first then WWF window maker 👍🏼👍🏼
They are all so handsome.
Had the biggest crush on Blackjack Mulligan and on I.R.S.
Bo Dallas is a hell of a good looking guy and Bray Wyatt is adorable.
My mom had a thing for Barry Windham.
Bray can definitely pull off a 3rd character like Foley did in the 90s
These are all excellent videos. Thank you. It's a good way to learn about the history of Professional Wrestlers and rasslin lol
Bray & Bo should be a great team Vince dropped the ball... Also, Jojo was originally the side chick while Windham was cheating on his wife.
All I know is that bray and Dallas are real life brothers. I didn't know the blackjacks and a few were related. But now I know. After bray Wyatt's return? That's an icing to the cake
Why aren't both Mike Rotunda and Barry Windham in the WWE HOF as singles?
Thanks for the great video. As a kid, IRS was my favourite villain. Loved, how he got (cheap) heat and made the audience hate him. Also liked him as Captain Mike Rotunda (and back then I didn't even know that the two guys are the same).
