Another childhood legend gone too soon. I always got a kick out of Orndorff having a career resurgence in WCW after seemingly falling off the face of the Earth after his mid 80s WWF run. Very sad news to hear. Sleep well, sir.

RIP. Another key figure in the first WrestleMania no longer with us. Only fifteen people involved in that show are still with us. RIP Mr. Wonderful.

That doesn't make it any less sad.

RIP to an underrated legend. He did huge business with Hogan and then had a solid run in WCW with an injury that should have ended his career years before it did.

Something else about Orndorff: he had such an obnoxious theme. That’s a lost art for heels today.

Man, RIP. Seems like just yesterday he entered with his banging theme and the most Bitchin’ mustache to ever exist.

RIP.
Now, to come up with a more evocative current talent whose name we can give to the phenomenon of multiple alignment shifts with diminishing returns for each.

So between Piper, Snukka, Ali, Patterson, and now Orndorf that's more than half the people from the WM1 main event who are no longer with us.
(Or am I forgetting anyone important?)

RIP to the man and his amazing moustache and even more amazing entrance song.
Last time I saw him he came out annoyed Hogan (thank you for that), and stole the show.

I remember being sad watching that and like 90% of the live crowd having no idea who he was. His wonderfully obnoxious WCW theme still gets rotation in my playlist to this day. Woefully underrated and doesn't get mentioned anywhere near enough when talking about all-time great heels. RIP Mr. Wonderful.

Paul was certainly one of the greatest heels ever. I remember him and Roddy Piper beating the crap out of some random guy outside the Mid City Gym in NYC. My Italian grandmother loved him; she used to say “I like-a that Mister Wonderful, he’s-a a handsome man!” Rest In Peace, good sir.
