Barry Windham was totally wasted in WWF as The Widowmaker. Nothing wrong with the gimmick, but he simply didn't get any push whatsoever. He was a very good technical wrestler, and had sufficient mic skills. Could have been used a good heel to go up against Hogan, but I think he deserved an IC title run instead of Honkeytonk Man. That Honkey reign was absurd. Vince buried ten tons of talent so that dipshit could have an almost two year reign? Gimme a **** break.
Terry Taylor squandered as the Red Rooster. I actually felt sorry for him. He had recently had a run in UWF in a Flair like role(and the skills to back it up), gets buried by NWA during the NWA/UWF merger, then Vince makes a mockery out of him.
Did you ever see
Windham's 1996-1998 stint in the WWF. As
The Stalker and then in the
New Blackjacks with
Bradshaw? I didn't mind the New Blackjacks but The Stalker was awful, really really bad.
As for
Terry Taylor and his
Red Rooster gimmick I always here the story of how he was originally meant to have the
Mr. Perfect gimmick, do you think he could of pulled it off?
