If ever the old adage "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog" applied to a wrestler, it had to be "Superstar" Bill Dundee.  With a height of just 5'5", Dundee wrestled with the heart of a giant and won the fans' respect with his incredible energy and never say die attitude.  

    Dundee started his career overseas, working in Australia for legendary promoter Jim Barnett.  Born in Scotland, Dundee  worked in the circus as a tight rope walker prior to his days as a wrestler.  Dundee's balance and agility would prove to two of his biggest assets in the ring.  After working for Barnett, Dundee began wrestling in the United States.

   Bill Dundee worked in many promotions and territories including Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), Central States Wrestling (CSW), and the American Wrestling Association (AWA).  However the territory where Dundee made himself a legend was in the Championship Wrestling Association (CWA) in Memphis. In the CWA, Dundee became known as "Superstar" Bill Dundee after winning the fans' hearts with his spirited matches and promos.  Early on in his CWA career, Dundee dressed up similarly to Elvis, complete with fancy sunglasses and ring attire.

    Dundee found incredible success in Memphis as both a singles and tag team competitor. Without question, Dundee's most successful tag team partnership was with Jerry "The King" Lawler. The partnership was a difficult one and both men found themselves as enemies just as often as allies.  One such situation occured during a match between Lawler and Dundee when they wrestled for a shot at AWA World Champion Nick Bockwinkel.  During the match, Lawler tried to use a chain to finish Dundee off only to have Dundee grab the chain from Lawler.  Dundee refused to use the chain on the man he thought was his friend only to fall to Lawler after Lawler blasted him with brass knuckles.  The two men then began a lengthy feud in CWA.

Whether he wrestled as a babyface or a heel, Dundee considered himself second to none.  When aspiring manager Jim Cornette tried to sign Dundee to a contract, Dundee refused Cornette's offer because Cornette had tried first with Jerry Lawler and been rebuffed. 

As a babyface, Dundee was always willing to help out his friends.   During a Southern Tag Team Championship match between the teams of Steve Keirn/Terry Taylor and Sweet Brown Sugar/Bobby Eaton, Dundee threw in the towel when Keirn's arm became trapped in the ring rope and his opponents beat his elbow relentlessly with a chair.  After the injury sidelined Keirn, Dundee teamed with Terry Taylor to gain a measure of revenge on Eaton, Sugar, and manager Jimmy Hart.

   During one of their periods as tag team partners, Dundee and Lawler were involved in the famous Tupelo Concession Brawl.  Bill and Jerry were defending the Southern Tag Team Championship against Larry Latham and Wayne Ferris when the action spilled out of the ring.  All four men battled near the concession area, beating each other with whatever was readily available including containers of mustard, mop handles, and even a popcorn machine!

    One of Dundee's most unusual opponents was "Exotic" Adrian Street.  Street attacked Dundee after Dundee won an elimination tag team match in which Street was participating.  Street was joined by the mercenary Apocalypse who saved Street from a Dundee beating.  "The Superstar" teamed up with Terry Taylor to battle Street and Apocalypse but Street's manager Jim Cornette and Street's valet Miss Linda interfered.  Dundee and Taylor won the match but they were destroyed by Apocalypse & Street after the match with Miss Linda & Cornette getting their licks in as well.  Dundee agreed to meet Street, Cornette, and Miss Linda in a handicap match, figuring that he'd rather face them head-on than deal with sneak attacks from outside.

During the mid-80's Dundee and Lawler's tag team partnership broke apart once again and the two men battled in what was their most intense feud ever.  This time things broke down when Dundee was cutting a promo and he said that him and Lawler could beat any team in CWA.  The Fabulous Ones took offense to his comment and Lawler came out to try and calm the situation before it got out of hand.  Unfortunately Dundee took offense and he ended up challenging Lawler to a match for his Southern Championship. and put his foreign sports car up as incentive.  Lawler didn't care about the sports car but wanted a match with Dundee since Dundee had been causing trouble in the Memphis area recently.  Lawler and Dundee went back and forth until opportunity arose and Dundee punched Lawler with a chain, gaining the victory and the pinfall.  Now, Dundee would have his shot at Ric Flair's NWA World Heavyweight Championship and to make sure, he refused to defend the title until after his title shot (the 30 day mandatory title defense wouldn't pass until after the match with Flair).  Lawler did everything he could to secure a title match, even threatening to smash Dundee's sports car with a baseball bat.  However when Lawler got his title match, Dundee was able to slip away with the Southern belt. 

With the Southern Heavyweight Championship secure, Dundee had his match with Flair to look forward to.  Unfortunately for Dundee, his cockiness got the better of him and during a run against babyface Koko Ware, he put his title shot against Flair up against Koko and lost.  Enraged, Dundee would interfere in Ware's match with Flair, costing Ware the match.

As Dundee's career began to wind down, he took a new role as Sir William, the manager/valet for Lord Steven Regal in World Championship Wrestling (WCW).    Dundee continues to wrestle in Memphis and has a son Jamie Crookshanks who is also a wrestler.
