I grew up watching Paul Orndorff on Mid-South wrestling. Not exactly a household name to some, but he had his day with the WWF with Hogan and Piper and the rest.

RIP Mr. Wonderful.

Never knew him to be a Saint. Will have to look up his career stats.

Smash, he didn't pass his physical, so he was never under contract. He was a FB out of Univ of Tampa...

Wiki says he didn’t pass his physical in KC either, but he played minor league ball. Makes you wonder about the NFL physicals back then, or if he was on some kind of sauce.

His PED use was through the roof. Never could get clean.

PEDs weren't the issue as much then...

Found this from 2014...

+1.

Mid-South wrestling ... man now that is old school at it's finest.

Ted DiBiase, The Super Destroyer, Ernie Ladd, KK Bondy, Paul Orndoff. My grandma would strangle you if you even thought about turning the TV set when Mid South wrestling was on.

Good times. R.I.P. Paul
