Bobby Edward Duncum Sr. (born August 14, 1944) is an American former professional wrestler from the late 1960s to late 1980s, performing for the World Wide Wrestling Federation, National Wrestling Alliance and American Wrestling Association. He is the father of the late wrestler Bobby Duncum Jr.. His son died of an accidental overdose in January 2000.
His wrestling persona was that of a heel cowboy and he wrestled some of the top babyface stars of the era such as Bob Backlund and Bruno Sammartino. In the AWA, along with Nick Bockwinkel, Ray Stevens and Blackjack Lanza, he was a member of famous wrestling stable, managed by Bobby Heenan, known as The Heenan Family. His famous catch phrase during interviews (and written phonetically) was "You unnastan?" ("you understand?").
