After months of fierce competition, the "Greatest United States Champion of All Time" tournament comes to an end on Canadian Bulldog's World website.

Rickard's fantasy tournament has been underway since the early summer, but finally comes to a head on Thanksgiving weekend as Wahoo McDaniel and Blackjack Mulligan meet in the tournament finals.

The two had a history for Jim Crockett Promotions going back to the summer of 1975 when Mulligan came into the territory for a brief stint that included Indian strap matches between the two. Mulligan soon left for the WWWF where he and Blackjack Lanza formed the Hall of Fame tag team of the Blackjacks. When then U.S. champion Johnny Valentine's career was ended in the October 1975 Wilmington plane crash, booker George Scott brought Mulligan back to take his spot as the top heel in the territory. Mulligan took the U.S. title from Paul Jones in March of 1976 and began a series of runs as the U.S. champion, occasionally defending against Wahoo during those years.

So who ya got? It's two of Mid-Atlantic Wrestling's most legendary competitors facing off to determine the greatest U.S. champion of all time!
