10 Biggest Flops In WWE History

10. Barry Windham

In WCW, Barry Windham was the consummate pro. A former world champion, card carrying member of the legendary Four Horsemen, and a phenomenal wrestler to boot, the rugged Texan was every bit a star down South. Sadly, that success just didn't seem to translate to his time in the WWF.

Despite a decent first run as WWF Tag Team Champion with Mike Rotunda in 1985, Windham's return to the company in June 1989 as 'The Widowmaker' was cut short. He left less than six months later, making his exit right before Survivor Series that same year.

Windham would return to the WWF once more in 1996, this time as 'The Stalker'. Dressed in camouflage as a hunter, the awful gimmick was thankfully short-lived. Sadly, it only led into another failed revamp.

1997 saw Windham take on his third WWF persona in The New Blackjacks. Teaming with Justin 'Hawk' Bradshaw, the team were portrayed as the second coming of the original Blackjacks, which consisted of Windham's father, Blackjack Mulligan, and Bradshaw's kayfabe uncle, Blackjack Lanza.

Like most teams labelled as "New" (see The New Rockers, The New Midnight Express, and The New Brood) The New Blackjacks died as quickly as they had been formed. Windham went on to become part of Jim Cornette's NWA invasion but left once that angle also bombed.
