Barry Windham 1989 WWF run

By Scott Keith on 10 January 2016

Scott,

Looking back and watching Barry Windham as "The Widowmaker" gimmick during his brief 1989 run in WWF and during several of his matches, the announcers are alluding to the fact that he could be a big threat to Hulk Hogan and the world title.

Had Windham of stayed, was he being groomed for a run against Hogan at some point?

​Definitely not. If Windham had given a shit at that point it might have made for a good house show run as a quick thing, but he definitely did not. ​
