When some of the all time greats of the wrestling industry are asked about who was the very best performer they've been in the ring with, many will often make mention of Barry Windham. Unlike a lot of the guys on this list, Barry was never really a wrestler who partook in extreme matches or hardcore violence on a regular basis. Sure, he worked snug and realistic, but he wasn't a Sabu or Abdullah The Butcher who would torture his and his opponent's body. The reason Windham makes this list is quite simply down to how cool his nickname was and how intimidating a moniker it was when you really broke it down. The Widowmaker is a name that in its simplest form says to a wife that her husband isn't coming home tonight. It's little Johnny's birthday party tonight? Sorry, daddy's being put in a bodybag courtesy of Barry Windham. A wedding anniversary? Sorry love, your hubby expired after stepping into the ring with Barry Windham. I've ordered a pizza for Dave but he seems to be running late? Sorry, best eat it yourself for Dave fell victim to Barry Windham. You get the idea. Now quite clearly Barry Windham wasn't ever actually responsible for killing a man in the ring, but in terms of an intimidating nickname The Widowmaker is something infinitely cool and badass, as if it could've been the name of a villain from a Chuck Norris or Clint Eastwood movie. Not only is Windham one of the greatest workers of all time, he forever had a further layer of badass added to his reputation by being handed The Widowmaker as a nickname.
