"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff vs. The Junkyard Dog

[HoldOnToYourDream]

Paul Orndorff - October 29 1950

Sylvester Ritter - December 13 1952 - June 2 1998

It's wonderful that Vince McMahon choreographed this match for Junk Yard Dog to make a phenomenal comeback in the end where he finished off Mr. Wonderful with a three count pin but it's a real shame that Vince chose to pulverize Junk Yard Dog throughout his career and never even allow him to hold any championship titles. What a selfish asshole Vince McMahon is!!

JESSE!! gotta love the beads! He's a super freak! Super freak! he is super freaky ..yeeaaa!

[eshepard]

thump!

[jobber25v]

the fink should do raw with cole king

[John6yt]

Interesting to hear Jesse lambasting Monsoon, who he would soon be paired with and go on to be considered one of the best wrestling play by play teams ever

[JEFFCLEVANDR]

LOL @ the end... To think the guy with the GOLD BEADS in his hair looking like Rick James went on to become a Govenor LMAO

[TheMashwatcher585]

ventura has a reason for everything

[stargate121]

Reminds me of what Hacksaw said about going the LONG way around the ring so the crowd can see you,

[yttihp11]

hey!! my name is jack reynolds :P

[mongoose704]

JYD won the match...

but Orndorff won the match after the bell, HA HA HA!

[suspekt29]

Holy shit I never seen these 2 go at it. Was this on MSG classics?

[pbrick6301]

Was it ever mentioned the amount of the fine that Monsoon assured us that Orndorf was going to be given?

[kenpalmer1965]

What a monumental matchup between two strongmen. But Orndorff got the upperhand after he put the piledriver on him. From there,JYD was never able to mount any kind of an offensive in the rest of the match. Gool old vintage WWF stuff and memories!

[recreationleader1]

@kenpalmer1965 it only shows part of the match...good win for the dog

[recreationleader1]

anyone have the boston garden match between these guys, the same boston garden night hogan beat kamala

[Djteedoe420]

oh' yeah howard did commentary with gorilla & mean gean at one point. it was like around 1983-1984.

[BiscuitsMcGillicuddy]

I never knew Howard did commentary...great to hear Howard with Gorilla!

[bhilcu1]

Hey Jesse:

That worm is now a WWE Hall of Famer!

[cookiepuss5000]

JYD is hot

[pekernek]

This whole card was great! This match, Piper's Pit, Hogan vs. Studd. Nice!

[damron13]

This was around February, 1985.

[dp100eboggan]

Jesse was made for the microphone!

[natureboy84]

I would have never known that was The Fink if no one here said anything. Wow after hearing him on mic all these years, I just automatically assumed that that's just the way he talked in his normal voice. lol.

[ashleybound]

Howard finkel on the mic, now this is classic, thanks for posting. and Dick Wherle as a ref, good stuff

[Vergadoce]

Orndorff vs. JYD when they were in Mid-South Wrestling was main event stuff. WWF ruined JYD's character and relegated him to a mid-carder!

[aidsmonkey]

fuck what happend in the ring, check the bodys head gear. that is fresh.

[uofmrules1]

Jesse, kiss my ASS! You're biased! RIP JYD!

[bhilcu1]

I agree with you!

[recreationleader]

how many turns did Orndorff do...he was never a happy camper, take the win JYD

[Hawkee316]

the fink on comenyary lol

[Will87]

Hadn't Orndorff turned babyface by that point.

[snuka12000]

Orndorff was a babyface for a short period of time. After Orndorff turned babyface, in a short period of time Orndorff betrayed Hulk Hogan.

[uofmrules1]

This was pre-Hogan.

[yaggazoozy]

Jack Reynolds was The Best. Cleveland has lost a true legendary broadcaster and friend.

[bhilcu1]

YOU ARE DAMNED RIGHT!

[SportsBoyTony]

RIP Jack Reynolds!

[gypsywwf]

do you download these matches online or is this a dvd

[AdoribleAdrian]

I recorded them when they were on, back in the day. Sorry to hear about Jack Reynolds.

[oldschooldogy]

That opening piledriver was a killer!  I've always felt that when it came to a regular jumping piledriver, Mr. Wonderful's was the most devastating ever.

[Tommygun1028]

i was at this match. while i'm happy to see it here on Youtube, it's too bad you really can't see JYD bleeding here. But he did bleed, I was at ringside a few rows back and saw it clearly.

[stndrds79]

wow, I was too young to remember this. but never knew ring announcer howard finkle was a commentator at one time!

[countbloodula]

No matter how hard jesse the body tries to look cool, he only makes himself to look like a grown up fool

[bhilcu1]

I AGREE WITH YOU!

[SabinBlitz81]

Actually this was from 12/10/84, this also aired on 24/7 some months back.

[MoondogMayne]

Gorilla Monsoon's biased reporting sickened me too.

[Lannis32]

Shut the fuck up mark.

[bhilcu1]

Gorilla Monsoon was not biased. Paul Orndorff had no business assaulting JYD after the match was over and Jack Reynolds could not be more right.

[Srd1126]

@bhilcu1 what do you mean? Orndorf was robbed, that was a fast count when the hold should have been broken anyways. But back then this often happened, biased refs giving matches to Junkyard Dog, one of the most overrated wrestlers of the time.

[bhilcu1]

@Srd1126

Who the fuck cares if it was a fast count or not? A three count is a three count no matter what! JYD won that match and there was no excuse for tactics like that as Jack Reynolds said during the after the match commentary!

[Srd1126]

@bhilcu1 Jack Rwynolds was always a biased announcer.  JYD was totally over-rated. If it wasn't a jobber he was fighting he could only win by getting lucky like this.

[bhilcu1]

@Srd1126

Jack Reynolds liked the good guys and could not believe what the "heels" got away with! He liked to see a good clean match and that was not a good clean match! Yes, JYD may have been overrated but he won that match. It don't matter if it was a fast count or not, a win is a win and Paul Orndorff showed just how arrogant he was by continuing to beat up JYD the way he did after the match was over!

[Srd1126]

@bhilcu1 That is the problem--Reynolds was supposed to be an unbiased journalist and report what he saw, not judge whether a match was "clean" or not. JYD regularly brought a weapon (chains) to the ring as if it was a gang-fight and not a wrestling match. With all that against him, what could you expect Orndorf to do?

[BOX5]

I get it this set up the piper's pit with sal.

[Lannis32]

Yep!
