Barry Windham's heel turn

Great heel turn by a hugely underrated wrestler. Barry Windham should have been one of the biggest stars in the business.

And it reminds me that today's heel turns are way too gradual and predictable. They lack drama compared to the way they were often done back then.

Great heel turn, they did a fantastic job of building to it.

The Luger vs. Windham/Horsemen feud was gold as well. Definitely underrated in terms of wrestling angles.

Was I the only one that thought that Luger was solid with the Horsemen and after getting kicked out by the horsemen? I thought he was dope before he came to WWE. I remember him having a dope US title reign too as a heel. But, yea Windham is mad underrated and one of the best workers for his time. at the E wasting Windham trying to have him be "Widow Maker" and "The Stalker"

Luger was great during his NWA run. He started getting lazy when he went to the E because that was acceptable there, but he gets an unfair amount of hate on the Internet IMO. He's always been one of my favorites.

The best incarnation of the Horsemen; other than the original incarnation

If Barry could've kept his mid to late 80's level he could have been the GOAT in ring worker. So much potential

It's a shame how he's pretty much been forgotten. He had a really hard fall off in the 90s, but in the 80s he was the man.

Why didn't Barry just stay home? Why'd he go to New York?

Goddamn, ya'll hear Flair's promo? Put over all the major faces: Sting, Road Warriors, and Lex Luger. Then, he gave shine to the US belt for Barry and the Horsemen without diminishing the importance of the World Title.

That's called Promo 101.

Who is watching NFL live right now? They just played Luger's WCW theme as highlight music for Jason Cambell. I remembered when he racked Hogan to win the WCW title in 97 But, then dropped it in like less than a week back to Hogan

Politics..........Late 80's/Early 90's Everyone except the man in charge knew Barry Windham should've been the #1 guy

.........but Luger had the body, Sting had the charisma, Windham fell by the waist side and just said fukk it and winged it for the rest of his career
