I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

His Piledriver always looked like death

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. I feel like there was legitimately a period where most fans at any given show had no clue who 90% of pre-Austin wrestlers were, which for some reason or another ended around 2016. Compare the pops Jake the Snake got in his WWE return vs his AEW debut, for instance. Perhaps the WWE network changed that? Or perhaps it's a matter of tickets no longer really being bought by the casual market.

Being in the main event of the first ever WM is one hell of a legacy to leave, amongst everything else. RIP

Here's a morbid thought, Hogan's WrestleMania 1-6 opponents are dead.

Virgil with a couple of posts on IG talking about how Mr.#1derful was his first WWF opponent and how Paul always helped out in all ways.

I know some people who went to the Big Event in Toronto and they say Orndorff was over huge. When he did the sign for giving Hogan the Piledriver the place went crazy.
Side note . The City of Toronto promoted the big event as WrestleMania. I was pretty young then but remember the ads for it in the Toronto Sun and Star (newspapers) refering to it as WrestleMania
