In early 1997, Mulligan’s son, Barry Windham, and Lanza’s nephew, Justin 'Hawk' Bradshaw, formed The New Blackjacks in the WWF. They were known as Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw, who originally competed as heels, but later as babyfaces.^[3] They competed in a four-way tag team match at WrestleMania 13, which was won by The Headbangers.
