Career

Duggan debuted in the WWE in 1987, and won the first Royal Rumble the next year. Despite a heavy push and high-profile feuds with Harley Race, Andre the Giant and Ted DiBiase, Duggan always remained a mid-card wrestler.

When he moved to WCW in 1994, Duggan was again given a push early on, defeating Steve Austin for the United States Title in 35 seconds. But after losing the title to Vader late that year, Duggan was once again relegated to mid-card status.

A "babyface" (good guy) for practically his entire career, Duggan turned heel to join "Team Canada" with Lance Storm in 2000. The gimmick wouldn't last long, however: the WWE bought out WCW shortly after "Team Canada" turned on Duggan (making him a babyface again).

After wrestling the independent circuit for three years, Duggan returned to the WWE in 2005, where he continues to wrestle on the Raw brand.
