DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The life & times of Blackjack Mulligan

On this edition of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, I travel back to 2016 for Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter biography of Blackjack Mulligan.

Mulligan was a big, tough cowboy heel and babyface who also booked around the country. He was a top star in the AWA, Jim Crockett Promotions, WWF, Florida, and more.

He was also quite the out of the ring character who had street fights with Andre The Giant, Ole Anderson, and Dick Murdoch; got sent to prison for a couple of years; and was the father of Barry Windham, father-in-law to Mike Rotundo, and the grandfather of Bo Dallas and the late Bray Wyatt.

Join me as I look at the life and times of Blackjack Mulligan.
