Team Ropers
World Champion Bull Rider Turned Header: Charlie Sampson
Charles Sampson has to be one of the most unlikely ProRodeo Hall of Famers of all time, growing up the 11th of 13 kids in the impoverished Watts neighborhood on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Though he’s best known at the roughstock end of the arena, team roping has played a part in the popular cowboy’s life and career since the start. The 1982 world champion bull rider, who competed at 10 National Finals Rodeos between 1981-93 and is 61 now, lives in Pennsylvania with his fiancée, Connie. He still loves to team rope.
