    The 80's and 90's were just the best for Wrestling. Once the internet really took off, wrestling just faded

    RIP George Steele and Paul Orndorff....Listening to this helped me understand why Paul Orndorff (as well as possibly others) never got a run as an IC Champion or even a Tag Champion versus the payoffs he would have doing a house show run with Hulk

    He always reminded me of my late grandpa on my mom's side. Such a cool guy & I could listen to him talk wrestling for days. RIP George & Paul, miss them & that era of wrestling.

      Actually, George Steel was still a heel in the early '80s. in 1983 George Steele he went up against Bob Backlund, in Madison Square Garden and I was there! That was the first of many wrestling matches that I went to at MSG. I saw many of the greats live! Bob Backlund, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, The Magnificent Muraco, The Tonga Kid, Mr. Fuji, The Executioners, Chief Jay Strongbow, so many greats! Fun fact: Big John Studd was one of the original Executioners!

    Paul orndorff vs George Steele at wrestlemania 3 would of been a good match to start off the show since neither one of them had a official wrestling match on the card remember orndorff was supposedly andres backup and Steele was steamboats corner man

      Makes sense, he was actually a teacher before & during his initial pro wrestling runs. IIRC he taught high school English classes.

      Actually, he shouldn't sound like a science teacher.... And, that's because he was a gym teacher.

      I agree. Orndorff deserved a world championship run and I can't understand why he never got one. He definitely had the talent. He must have pissed off Vince or some other execs at some point.

    Orndorf was so cool as a face that when he turned heel I kept feeling like Hogan should have been the heel. Nothing against Orndorf as a heel, he was great but he was also so cool that I wanted him to stay face.
