Orndorff also had a tendency to get jealous easily. For a guy that feuded with Hulk Hogan a lot during his WWF tenure, Orndorff always seemed to get jealous when he wasn't featured in the main events wrestling Hogan. I know that Orndorff & Hogan were very good friends in real life, but Orndorff would grow very bitter and do a lot of bitching if he was stuck in the midcard and not wrestling Hogan. He loved working with Hogan. That was his homie. He loved beating him up and making money with him
Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff was a tremendous wrestler, but the more I watched him wrestle I've always felt that he had an angry streak that ran through him and the more I see him in action, the more I feel my perception is correct. Throughout his career Paul Orndorff battled some demons, and his biggest detriment to his success was his ego. He was his own biggest fan. He wanted everything to be handed it to him on a silver platter and he wanted to be in all the main events. Very impatient man.
@onederful100 gimme a break Tony Atlas was a professional body builder before he got into wrestling .and he competed in competitons for mr universe ..orndorff is just a bodybuilder who wrestles ..watch tuesday night titans that shows both of them in a posing contest .Atlas had a pretty good posing routine ..while orndorff looked like an average man trying to pose ...it was a mismatch
@fashizze But Orndorff is a much better wrestler than Tony Atlas is. Orndorff could do it all in that ring. He could wrestle extremely well if it boiled down to a scientific match and he definitely knew how to fight. Tony Atlas for the most part was just a body. Tony Atlas is the type of guy who needed a lot of instruction before he competed in a match. If Atlas didn't receive a lot of instruction of have someone to lead him, he couldn't have a good match on his own.
@lildwayne21 Ornorff was a good wrestler but after his matches with Hogan ..Paul never got back into main events .a mid carder till the end of his career
I listen to a Tony Atlas interview and I think this is the match he "didn't want to lose that night" He's shooting at 4:00, when he puts Orndorff down he looks so freaked out. Atlas jumping up after the pin and Orndorff running out of the ring with out even getting his hand raised is probably also unplanned.
This match must had been part of that card where hogan and roddy piper had that "the war to settle the score" match because if you notice what Gorilla said he said hi to Mr T
that shaved head looks terrible!!black guys can pull a shaved head much better than white men for the most part...but atlas looks sickly...pink boots dont help either
Damn! Atlas looks a lot heavier than 251. More like 285 at least. I was always impressed with Tony's physique but that is just ridiculous how much mass he has!
Didn't Atlas and Orndorff get into a real fight on a roadtrip where Orndorff put Atlas in the hospital for a few days? I remember Orndorff mentioning something along those lines in a shoot interview somewhere...
The nice thing about juiced about Atlas is that unlike many bodybuilders, at least he actually did have some athletic ability and some wrestling skills!
Yeah, Atlas was really a great wrestler given his size. He wasn't the best, but for a big, strong man, he was tops. Guys nowadays should look at him for an idea of how to do it right. Also, Atlas sold for guys pretty damn good and could make them look good, unlike a lot of these selfish fucks nowadays.
The good old days, when wrestling was actually about wrestling.

Atlas was a bodybuilder, emphasis on WAS.
in a pro wrestling posedown, whoever wins the beatdown after, wins.

as far as who is heavier, just look at their legs.
Atlas looks like he's riding an ostrich with those chicken legs.
Mr. #1derful would win a bodybulding posedown bc he has a more complete physique.
