The Desperados (professional wrestling)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Desperados were an American professional wrestling team consisting of Dutch Mantell, Black Bart, and Deadeye Dick. They wrestled briefly in World Championship Wrestling in 1991.

The Desperados were packaged with the gimmick of being three bumbling cowboys looking to meet up with Stan Hansen to go to WCW and become a team. Over the course of a few months, they were promoted through a series of vignettes by which they would be beaten up in saloons, searching ghost towns, and riding horses. Hansen reportedly wanted no part of the storyline and left for Japan, never to return to wrestle in North America. Without Hansen, the group were pushed into service as jobbers and were dissolved as a stable before the end of the year.
