Alright, so, you wanna know about this Barry Windham fella, huh? Well, let me tell ya, I heard some things. Folks sayin’ he was a wrestler, a real tough guy. Big and strong, you know? Like them fellas you see on TV, but back in the day, things were different, they say.
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you, but from what I gather, this Barry, he was part of somethin’ called the “Four Horsemen.” Sounded fancy, like somethin’ outta a history book. These fellas, they were a team, see? Wrestlin’ together, causin’ a ruckus, and apparently, they were pretty darn good at it. Got themselves into somethin’ called the WWE Hall of Fame, which I reckon is a big deal in the wrestlin’ world.
- He was strong.
- Part of a group called the Four Horsemen.
- Got into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Heard tell he had a brother-in-law, Mike somethin’-or-other. This Mike fella found Barry at his ranch, poor soul. Seems Barry had a heart attack. That’s what they sayin’, anyway. Heart troubles, ain’t nothin’ to mess with, lemme tell ya. Happens to the best of ’em, even them tough wrestler fellas.
Now, this Mike fella, he had some sons too. One of ’em, they named him Windham, after Barry, I guess. Imagine that, namin’ your kid after your brother-in-law. Musta been close, them two. This young Windham, he went on to be a wrestler too, just like his uncle, I suppose. Used some other name, though, somethin’ like Bray Wyatt. And Mike’s other boy, Taylor, he wrestled too, called himself Bo Dallas. Wrestlin’ must run in the family, like blue eyes or bad knees.
There’s also this other fella, Paul Wight. Big fella, they say. Wrestler too, and he does some talkin’ on them wrestlin’ shows. Heard he was named after Barry, ’cause Barry was his daddy’s partner back in the day. Partner in what? Wrestlin’, of course! What else would they be partners in? Bakin’ cookies?
This Barry fella, he went to college on a football scholarship. Troy University, they say. But he didn’t finish, no sir. Dropped out in his last year to wrestle. Guess he figured he could make more money grapplin’ than throwin’ a ball. Can’t say I blame him, money’s money, ain’t it? And I heard he has a sister, too. Everyone’s got a family, even those tough wrestlers.
So, that’s the gist of it, as far as I know. Barry Windham, wrestler, Four Horsemen member, heart attack victim. Family man, college dropout, the whole shebang. Life’s a funny thing, ain’t it? One minute you’re throwin’ folks around in a ring, the next you’re gone. Makes you think, you know? Makes you think.
Folks talking about Barry, it makes me think about times past. It reminds me of when I was young, and life was simpler. Now everything is so fast and complicated. But that’s how it goes, I guess. People come and go, things change, and all we’re left with are memories and stories. And Barry Windham, well, he’s got quite a story, that’s for sure.
Seems like he left his mark on the world, that Barry fella. People still talkin’ about him, rememberin’ him. That’s somethin’, ain’t it? To be remembered. Means you did somethin’ worthwhile, somethin’ that mattered. And in the end, I reckon that’s all any of us can hope for.
So, next time you hear about wrestlin’, or the Four Horsemen, or some fella named Windham, you’ll know a little somethin’ about it. You’ll know about Barry, the tough guy wrestler who went to college, dropped out, and became a legend, sort of. At least, that’s what they sayin’.
