Congratulations to both BARRY WINDHAM & MIKE ROTUNDO on your Hall of Fame induction. You truly deserve it both.
I see what you did. 🤭
So happy for these guys. They really deserve it. RIP Bray.
Barry Windham is one of my All time favorites. He is so effortless and smooth in the ring. Amazing performer. Barry you'll never know this but decades ago in a wrestling magazine you mentioned the importance of breathing control while being active and I never forgot it. Thank you for the years of entertainment. You are one of the best to ever do it.
My earliest memories of wrestling was watching Barry and Mike. I’m so glad they are getting in the Hall of Fame.
I was too young to see these guys wrestling, but the fact that this is Bray Wyatts family makes me so much more interested in hearing their stories.
Two of the best in ring workers ever!
Growing up in West Palm Beach, Barry Windham's been my absolute favorite for my lifetime. His & Mike's work vs Dick Murdoch & Adrian Adonis is where their WWF magic started.
They were amazing in CWF.
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 YES they were. I still remember being in the WPB Auditorium watching Mike beat Ron Bass for the Florida title in '86. It was the 2nd time I ever saw a CWF camera crew there.
The leaky teepee was my second home in the 70's and 80's Mike and Barrys runs as the US tag champs were my favorite runs
I had the pleasure of seeing them live
It still feels like yday we lost Bray. Beautiful interview Pete.
thanks man
Mike Rotunda/Barry Windham
❤🎉😮😊😂
So happy for them and the entire family. After such a dark year for them, it will undoubtedly be nice for them to have this experience.
Great interview. I really enjoyed watching Mike talk about his boys. RIP Bray
It’s good to see Barry Windham Congratulations to both of them
When I was a young man I remember Barry's dad,Black Jack Mulligan here in Indianapolis. He was so much bigger the the rest . Only the Big Cat Ernie Ladd was as big. He tagged team against Dick the Busier and they are some of the best matches I can remember. I'm 65 and my older sister and younger brother would go with our uncle Donny and great grandpa Jones. Great times
I liked these guys as a kid watching WWF, as an teenager I liked them in the WCW…Barry in the Horsemen and Mike in the Varsity Club.
This is one of the best wrestling interviews that I have seen in a very long time. Too see Barry after all his health issues. Mike after losing Bray. These two together. It's just so good to see them and the connection that they have. Great interview.
Barry looks just like his dad now Black jack!
Omg i immediately thought the same thing. Put a black mustache on that face and they’re identical!
now i get it why uncle howdy was introduced to us just by looking at Barry now ~
Barry was and has remained one of my favorites ever, and I discovered him late, in 1992. He was just so good. And I always enjoyed Rotunda's work. I was somewhat disappointed when he couldn't make a scheduled autograph signing, even though he was a heel. They replaced him with Tatanka who was cool as well, but I was looking forward to seeing Mike, especially because of his history in the US Express.
I did check the results and Mike and Barry were on the show when Dr. D smacked that jabroni. Whether or not they were in the vicinity is another matter, but they were on the show.
These 2 legends definitely deserve it! Both amazing workers. Great interview keep on 💎💎
Barry and Mike are two of the best to ever lace them up. Prototype wrestlers.
Thank you for this ! It was such a treat
They both r incredible workers
Two of my favorite guys. Awesome.
2 of my very faves from CWF Congrats you guys deserve it
It's so great to see Mike so full of energy, great interview thank you! 👍🏻
As a young kid I was at the house show in the 80s in Philly where Windham and Rotunda lost the tag titles to the Dream team...back then Vince would change titles at house shows so fans would believe anything could happen and all the houses had local cable broadcasts of the show so Vince could replay the footage on WWF tv... That's never something that would happen years after as Vince eventually wanted top production for everything he puts on tv and the game changed as house shows are supplemental profit now and tv is everything. Back then it was all about the live gate
Nice touch at the end Peter, class act.
Great to see the U.S. Express born in the USA getting in the hall
I really enjoyed this
Grew up watching Florida Championship Wrestling every Saturday at noon. Barry was one of the best I've ever seen. Mike was also one of the best to ever work a match. You could put him in with anyone and the match would be great.
I love Rotunda and Whindham ,and they deserve what every bit of respect they are receiving.but please I know Barry would agree with me when I say the midnight express should be in the hall of fame
Congrats to them both
Love these guys. And so glad Barry is looking good after his health scare
Congratulations to Barry and Mike on their long overdue WWE Hall of Fame induction as a team. Barry Windham in my opinion is one of the 10 best wrestlers of all time. He was also one of the most underappreciated. I don't know what the booking committee was thinking not making Barry Windham the NWA world champion , but yet they made Ronnie Garvin the NWA world champion. And he was one of the worst world champions ever. Barry's heel turn on Lex Luger was the most shocking and my favorite one of all time and even though Barry was the U.S champion once, his title reign was so dominant, plus he was a horseman his U.S title reign was my favorite of all time. And it must be stated that Mike was one half of 2 Hall of Fame tag teams in the WWE, the other one was with Ted DiBiase.
Barry is one of my favorite as well. Barry would have been but he jumped ship in ‘88 or ‘89 to WWF. He had a brief run in WWF but ended up quitting. I think Barry was flaky and thought to be unreliable. Vince always gave him stupid gimmicks in WWF, I would have loved to have seen a Barry Windham vs Undertaker feud or Bret Hart vs Barry Windham feud.
@@Provos7777 Barry went to the WWF in 1989 shortly after losing the U.S title at the Chi town heat pay per view and had a brief and forgetful run in the WWF because for some bizarre reason, the booking committee didn't bring him in as Barry Windham but as " The Widowmaker" so I don't blame Barry for quitting and going back to WCW in 1990 to rejoin the 4 horseman.
Always enjoyed them in wrestling scene
Barry Windham was there that night of the Schultz slap. John Stossel mentioned how the card was running late, so Vince told Barry to make his match against Mr. Fuji quick. Barry beat Mr. Fuji via a bulldog in less than a half-minute.
Thanks for this Pete.
Well deserved!! I would love to see Demolition go in next!!!
Respect!!!
awesome
Congrulations guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was a fan of Michael Wall Street in WCW.
Watched them at Eddie Graham sports complex in the 80s
Thanx Pete, this TRULY TRULY was a treat! I ALWAYS LOVED the U.S. EXPRESS, & just everything else that Barry, & Mike did in the Business!! They're both TRUE, AMAZING Gentleman, & incredibly talented in ring performers, & it's GREAT to see them getting their due!! I think The way that You brought up Bray, & Bo was VERY VERY classie, & tastefully done! CONGRATULATIONS BARRY & MIKE!!🇺🇸🚄
Time for a comeback
Titus did a tribute to big boss man
They would have been the Rock N Roll Express of the WWF had they stayed together longer.
Are these the infamous glasses/frames from the pods? they're dope.
thanks man yes!
Nice one Pete!
Emergency pod, or is this the Friday something?
Mike Rotunda Barry Windham
US Express ❤🎉
Mike looks like he’s got him a big ole chaw in.lol I mean chewing tobacco. It’s still hard for me to believe Windham Rotunda aka Bray Wyatt is not with us anymore. That really is very sad to me. I just feel for the entire family.🙏🏻 In my humble opinion. The original Bray Wyatt that came out of NXT. The cult leader type gimmick. It was a thing to be hold. I felt Bray was getting back to that. And, he would have had a long tenure in the business. I don’t know about other fans. But, just based on what Bray originally accomplished and the success he had. He was/is one of the greatest of all times. Rest in peace Bray
Back to the good old days. Those two were I'n the top ten. The varsity club was awesome. The horsemen with Windham great wrestling. Not so much anymore
IRS should be inducted too
Iceman King Parsons should be in the Hall of fame
You guys is originable,I peeped the shit and I seen you too guys since I was 7 years old ,I'm 48 years old and I think alot of you wrestlers from that are or any era should appreciate everything that most of our black community shows alot of respect for wrestling but it seems that you big companies is afraid of real people, I'm talking honestly
Talented guys ❤❤❤ BW have mercy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They got in because of Bray's death.
i will always remember mike as the IRS eventho he was a heel i liked him didn't really like the finishing move the write off tho
Barely recognized not sweaty IRS.
Mike was a good guy up until Kevin Sullivan took him under his wing. That was awesome, and then they developed the Varsity Club. That was my favorite part of Mike’s career.
The VARSITY CLUB!
No disrespect but we all know that the only reason the U.S. Express is entering the HOF is because of Bray Wyatt's death..
I wonder if Mike Rotunda will mention all the tax cheats lol.
I hope you guy's are healthy and doing good.
RIP Bray Wyatt!! The only part of wwe i enjoyed.
The true Real Americans! not the blow heart Nogan.. for snowflakes the song. I'm A Real American was there theme song first!!!
I hated when Berry left the WWF! Never liked Spivey!
It was the WWF not wwe use the right name for time World Wrestling Federation!!!! Not Worst Wrestling Ever...
Rumor has it that the Express goes on next to last, then HHH unleashes the surprise that Bray is the main event, and Mike gets to induct his son.
I luv Barry Windham....guy could work his ass off! My only issue with this is that the US Express with this combo didn't last a year in WWE but Demolition was the longest reigning tag champs until WWE decided to go with the bullshit equity, diversity and inclusion nonsense and made The New Day the longest champs. Demolition deserved to be in HOF years ago and that's how you know it a bullshit thing. Any time elites do the picking and choosing it's never a good thing.
Congratulations to both BARRY WINDHAM & MIKE ROTUNDO on your Hall of Fame induction. You truly deserve it both.
