The iconic tag team of Mike Rotunda and Barry Windham, better known as The U.S. Express, is slated for induction into the prestigious WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2024. This announcement has sent waves of excitement through the wrestling community, as the duo is celebrated for revolutionizing tag team wrestling in the 1980s.
Entering the ring to the rousing anthem “Born in The U.S.A.” by Bruce Springsteen, The U.S. Express became synonymous with high-energy performances and patriotic fervor. Their legacy includes two reigns as World Tag Team Champions, during which they faced off against legendary teams like Nikolai Volkoff & The Iron Sheik and The Dream Team of Greg “The Hammer” Valentine & Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake.
The U.S. Express’s impact extends beyond their own careers, with deep family ties in the industry. Windham’s father, Blackjack Mulligan, is a WWE Hall of Famer, and Windham himself was previously inducted as a member of The Four Horsemen. Rotunda’s sons, Windham (Bray Wyatt) and Taylor (Bo Dallas), have also made their mark in WWE, continuing the family’s wrestling legacy.
Their induction is a testament to their influence on the sport and their role in paving the way for future generations of tag teams. The U.S. Express will be officially honored during the WrestleMania 40 weekend, with the ceremony taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
Fans and peers alike are looking forward to celebrating the storied careers of these two wrestlers who have left an indelible mark on WWE history. The U.S. Express’s journey to the Hall of Fame is a reminder of the enduring power of tag team wrestling and the unforgettable moments it can create.
