    The Hammer is back to talk about his good friend Paul Orndorff, who recently passed away. Mr Wonderful had a major WWF run including a headline match at the first Wrestlemania vs Hulk Hogan (tag match).
    Valentine and Orndorff knew each other from back in the Mid-Atlantic days, before they both went to Vince McMahon's WWF.
    Rumor has it that Paul Orndorff was the Wrestlemania III replacement for Andre the Giant, in case he was too ill to wrestle Hulk Hogan. Orndorff and Hogan had a cage match on Saturday Night's Main event just a couple months before then.

      Greg's voice is very soothing and relaxing. I listen to the clips and they both, help me fall asleep and keep me entertained with tales and opinions on an era of wrestling I loved.

      I saw Mr. Wonderful Paul The World Orndorff, The Nature Boy Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Tony The World Atlas & the Junkyard Dog @Cow Palace in the 70s & 80s, good times! 🤼‍♂️🏋

      Trained with Paul and the 80s through 2005 in the gym. He was always a Class Act. A true gentleman

    I feel bad for Hammer when he says "ive been missing a lot of guys lately". Class act. He's still got Millions of fans like myself from the 80's who love him even if he doesn't know us personally. RIP Mr. Wonderful.

      I was a kid when Hammer was in his prime. I liked him but he wasn't even close to being one of my favs. Now, with that said, I like Hammer better than ANY wrestlers after the attitude era. That should tell you how far wrestling has deteriorated

      Say what! Was your grandfather loaded or senile as hell when he told you that? Implies that every man of a group is the last to die in that group.

    Paul Orndoff (RiP), Greg Valentine, Rick Rude (RiP), and Ric Flair had the most beautiful ring robes in the industry’s history. Randy Savage’s (RiP) wore a beautiful cape-type robe. Wrestling heaven? Hopefully. 🥺

    Greg The Hammer is such a Class Act.
    A great athlete from The Golden Years of Wrestling. Im so happy i got to enjoy these guys in my youth. Kids now adays have no idea how great Wrestling was back then. Just look at the names of the Wrestlers and compare them to the ones today. No Comparison Wrestlers in the 80s-Early 90s win.

    Greg always looked like the meanest guy on the planet, but he's actually a really cool human being. What a pro. And Orndorff was so smooth. I'm not sure what his training was like, but he looked like a natural. Like everything he did just came easily to him. I remember watching him in WCW as a kid and loved all his matches. He was soooo good at playing that chicken shit heel that took time outs and cried when you chanted "Paula" lol but when he got heat on you, it looked like he was strategically disecting his opponents. He was like a shark that smelled blood. R.I.P. Paul.

    It's a somber subject for everyone, to be sure, but I'm really glad Greg is willing to talk about his awesome friend and colleague so soon after his passing. And as always you bring the amazing content.
    Take care!
