On the first ever wrestling album this song was indeed Windham and Rotundo's and then Hulk used it after. I remember Piper one time in Piper's pit said (when Orndorff and Hogan fought over the song) he has the album and he knows who the song really belongs to. ( a little shot at them both i guess)
This is rare for 2 reasons...1) They are coming out to "Real American" and not "Born In The USA" because it was penned for them on "The Wrestling Album" in 1985. 2) This was the last televised match to show Windham and Rotundo as a team; when Windham left for NWA Florida, Rotundo teamed w/Danny Spivey and went back to using "Born In The USA"...of course we all know who wound up using "Real American".
@Bryaniswwe what kind of wrestling fan are you? How can you not know the prowess and ability, the perseverance and raw unmitigated skill that is Mr. X?
@TheFreakandNitro The kind of wrestling fan who started watching wrestling when all the good started to fade, I started watching the WWF in 2002 w/Wrestlemania X8 being my first night of watching wrestling.
FYI Windham got sick of the travel schedule and lack of days off. He thought he and Mike were leaving together to work in Japan. Barry keft Mike returned. Vince tried to replace Barry with Danny Spivey hoping no one would notice.
Mr X was none other then bad guy ref Dangerous Danny Davis.

This actually works better with Windham and Rotundo than it did Hogan. I love the pop they get as well.

I always found it weird how Windham and Rotundo wrestled this one match after losing the titles and then Windham was never seen or heard from again
