One day he was a heel, the next day he was a fan favorite. Truly one of the enigmas of wrestling.

He was my favorite wrestler. His pile driver was always perfect. Got to watch Wrestlemania I on closed circuit with some friends.

All will travel down that path eventually; may we leave good works and memories behind. Paul Orndorf was a memorable wrestler at a time of many memorable characters in that business.

71. For pro wrestlers he lived a very very very long time.

I always wanted to see an all animals 3 way match between Jake’s snake, Koko B. Ware’s bird and Ricky Steamboat’s lizard thingy!

Yes, I loved the show Dark Side of Wrestling , unfortunately on VICE channel, then the history channel having some great biographys on wrestlers, Rowdy Roddy Piper & Macho Man Randy Savage always were my favorites! RIP Mr.Wonderful thanks for the memories!

Man, I still miss Roddy Piper. His death really hurt. Tragic.
