Mr. Wonderful follow up

By Scott Keith on April 1, 2017


Following up on my last question. What do you think happens to Mr. Wonderful if his neck never gives out? Could you see him headlining B shows?

​Sign of the times: It’s Wrestlemania weekend and everyone is like "Hey, let’s talk about Paul Orndorff and Ricky Steamboat in 1987!"

Anyway, yeah, I think the neck injury definitely derailed things for him. Although the Hogan feud COMPLETELY burned him out as a main eventer by that point, the babyface turn could have left him as a solid #2 guy behind Hogan for a few years yet, and he would have been an easy B-show main eventer. That being said, 1988 would have been tough for him because they were going bang-bang with alternating Hogan and Savage shows every night, but Orndorff could have slotted in doing the Piper-ish replacement top guy role when they needed one, like Dusty Rhodes did. ​
