William Cruikshanks/Bill Dundee: By the Numbers

Posted: Sep 15th 2026 By: Oklafan Staff

Oklafan recently acknowledged the death of pro wrestler William Cruikshanks, who competed as Bill Dundee and Sir William, amongst other names. During his career, he would legally change his name to Bill Dundee. Below is a complete retrospective of his career as far as Oklafan is able to document. We have included a listing of all the Oklahoma matches William is known to have competed in, a win/loss record, a breakdown of singles and tag team matches and a year-by-year documentation of the number of matches he had in Oklahoma.

We hope that this record serves as a small reminder of the legacy that William left behind.
