Behind Closed Doors with Paul Orndorff Mr. Wonderful (w/funny moment)

Paul Parlette Orndorff Jr. (October 29, 1949 – July 12, 2021), nicknamed "Mr. Wonderful", was an American https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestler and college football player, best known for his appearances with the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Federation (WWF) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling (WCW). After seven years working around the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance (NWA), Orndorff became a star in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s_professional_wrestling_boom, and featured with manager https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Heenan and champion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan extensively, including in the main events of the first https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series. With an untreated neck injury, he left the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling in early 1990, where he won the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_Television_Championship and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_Tag_Team_Championship with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Roma (as a team called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Wonderful). Arm atrophy from a nagging injury led him to retire in 2000 and he was treated for cancer in 2011. After retiring, he trained aspiring wrestlers. Orndorff was inducted into the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Hall_of_Fame#2005 and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NWA_Hall_of_Fame in 2009. Many wrestling greats and historians consider Mr. Wonderful one of the best heels in wrestling. After his football career ended, Orndorff watched Championship Wrestling from Florida in the mid-1970s. He called his father-in-law, who knew someone who knew Florida promoter Eddie Graham, which got his start into the wrestling business. Orndorff started wrestling in 1976 in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Wrestling_Association where he feuded with a young https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lawler. Orndorff won his first wrestling title when he pinned Lawler for the NWA Southern Heavyweight Championship on June 7, 1977. Orndorff lost the title back to Lawler before he left the Memphis territory. Orndorff began working for the NWA Tri-State promotion where he got involved in a feud with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Ladd. The feud with Ladd saw Orndorff win the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-South_North_American_Heavyweight_Championship from Ladd on two occasions (on May 29, 1978 and again in June). Both times, Orndorff's reigns were short and were ended by Ladd.In 1979, Orndorff traveled to the Alabama territory's "Southeast Championship Wrestling." There, Orndorff worked mainly as a tag team competitor teaming with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Slater to win the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CWF_Tag_Team_Championship from the team of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunkhouse_Buck and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norvell_Austin in October 1979. Their reign only lasted about a month before being upended by the combination of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Condrey and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Schultz_(professional_wrestler). Orndorff then teamed with former opponent Austin (who was calling himself "The Junkyard Dog" at the time, not to be mistaken for the more famous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkyard_Dog) to win the title in late 1979. The duo beat Condrey and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Rose, the same team that ended Orndorff and Austin's run with the gold.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Orndorff#cite_note-Titles-12 Austin, Condrey, and Rose formed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Midnight_Express_(professional_wrestling) shortly thereafter.
