Bobby Duncum, Jr.

Duncum debuted in Extreme Championship Wrestling on February 14, 1997, where he defeated Balls Mahoney. His final ECW match was a loss to Mikey Whipwreck on July 18, 1998.

On the November 16, 1998 episode of WCW Monday Nitro, Duncum made his World Championship Wrestling debut as a fan favorite and defeated Chris Jericho in a World Television Championship match, but was unable to win Jericho's title due to winning via countout. Six days later at World War 3, Duncum made his pay-per-view debut and faced Jericho in a rematch for the title, but lost via pinfall. Duncum continued his feud with Jericho and defeated him twice at house shows and once more on the December 3 episode of Thunder before losing to him on the December 7 episode of Nitro. Duncum then formed a short-lived tag team with Mike Enos.

Duncum became a villain in the beginning of 1999 and joined Curt HennigBarry Windham and Kendall Windham to form a faction called The West Texas Rednecks. Although originally intended to be the villainous rivals of Master P's No Limit Soldiers, a faction of rappers, the Rednecks were instead embraced by the Southern wrestling fans of WCW and were cheered over the Soldiers. While Hennig and Barry would contend for the WCW World Tag Team Championship, Duncum would compete in singles matches on Saturday Night and Thunder, including an unsuccessful attempt at winning the World Television Championship from Booker T on the April 15 episode of Thunder.

On June 13 at The Great American Bash, Duncum and Hennig lost to Konnan and Rey Mysterio, Jr. of the No Limit Soldiers in a tag team match. Less than a month later, the Rednecks lost to the Soldiers once again at Bash at the Beach in an elimination tag team match on July 11. Following the end of their feud with the Soldiers, the Rednecks made their final pay-per-view appearance at Road Wild on August 14, where Duncum, Barry and Hennig lost to The Revolution (Dean MalenkoPerry Saturn and Shane Douglas) in a six-man tag team match.

Twelve days later on Thunder, Duncum made his final televised appearance as he, Barry and Kendall Windham lost to The Filthy Animals (Eddy GuerreroKidman and Rey Mysterio Jr.).

On January 24, 2000, Duncum passed away.
