-WWE Hall of Famer Blackjack Mulligan (a/k/a Robert Windham) is 71 today. He was born on November 26, 1942. Mulligan is the father of pro wrestlers Barry Windham and Kendall Windham, and the grandfather of WWE performers Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas.

She got her start with the GLOW promotion as Tina Ferrari back in 1986, and worked for WWE from 1999 to 2005. She has worked select indy dates since leaving WWE, but I believe it's been a couple of years since she worked.

-WWE Tough Enough season one co-winner Maven Huffman is 37 today. He was born on November 26, 1976. Huffman worked for WWE from 2001 to 2005. He worked as a host for HSN and also appeared on reality television shows after leaving WWE. He entered WWE sponsored rehab after being arrested on doctor shopping charges related to a prescription pill issue. A Dot Net reader spotted him working as a bouncer at a bar earlier this year.

-Former WWE wrestler Brian Lee is 47 today. He was born on November 26, 1966. Lee had a couple of stints in WWE beginning with his brief run as the fake version of The Undertaker. He had a stint in ECW, then returned to WWE for a run in 1997 as a member of the DOA faction. He also worked for TNA as a member of The New Church.
