Blackjack
Mulligan established himself as one of Jim Crockett's
biggest stars when he captured the United States Heavyweight
Championship from Paul Jones in the historic Greensboro Coliseum
in Greensboro, North Carolina. It was the first of five
title reigns for the big man from Eagle Pass, Texas.
Blackjack
is one of our all-time favorites and in many ways, the
greatest US Champ ever.
Special
thanks to Mark Eastridge for bringing us the two Greensboro
clippings that appear on this page.
