Bobby Edward Duncum (born August 14, 1944) is an American retired professional wrestler and football player. He is best known for his appearances for the World Wide Wrestling Federation, National Wrestling Alliance and American Wrestling Association from the late-1960s to the late-1980s. He is the father of the late professional wrestler Bobby Duncum Jr.
American football career
Duncum was a three-year letterman with the West Texas A&M Buffaloes football team from 1964 to 1966.[1] He was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the thirteenth round (331st overall) of the 1967 NFL/AFL Draft.[2] He appeared in four games with the Cardinals in 1968.
Professional wrestling career
His wrestling persona was that of a heel cowboy and he wrestled some of the top babyface stars of the era such as Bob Backlund and Bruno Sammartino in the WWWF/WWF. In the AWA, along with Nick Bockwinkel, Ray Stevens and Blackjack Lanza, he was a member of famous wrestling stable, managed by Bobby Heenan, known as The Heenan Family.[3] His famous catch phrase during interviews (and written phonetically) was "You unnastan?" ("you understand?"). His final match was on November 16, 1986, in Clarksburg, West Virginia, where he tag teamed with Lord Zoltan to defeat Troy Orndorff and Kurt Kaufman.
