my got what a physical speciemen Max Blue was....hahahhah...what ever happened to him?.....hahhahaha... Orndorff was AWESOME!...the greatest MAN ever....
4 days ago Top 20 WWE Champions of all time - In Order: 1. Hulk Hogan 2. Stone Cold Steve Austin 3. Bruno Sammartino 4. John Cena 5. Brett Hart 6. Shawn Michaels 7. Triple HHH 8. The Rock 9. The Ultimate Warriar 10. Bob Backlund 11. Macho Man Randy Savage 12. Superstar Billy Graham 13. Kurt Angle 14. Brock Lesnar 15. Pedro Morales 16. Randy Orton 17. Diesel - Kevin Nash 18. Yokozuna 19- The Undertaker 20- Ric Flair
Paul was being a prick to Vader (who was always a prick himself.) Orndorff got in Vader's face. Face to face Vader lit him up. He decided to be a nice guy and help Orndorff up. Paul snuck in a sucker shot and dropped Vader.
Classic heel turn scripted to perfection: The heel turnee overtly shows his hand and what is inevitably coming, third party members blatantly egging him on, the ring announcers playing dumb and ignoring the obvious, and the face ultimately getting knifed in the back and getting his "revenge" at a later PPV. Gotta love it!
I remember this thing between him and Hogan starting with The Flower Shop and Adrian Adonis and Bobby Heenan. But I do not remember him being introduced as th Od Mr Wonderful before his heel turn. One of the best feuds in history. I always hated Hogan.
No doubt about it, Heenan was a legend. Jesse Ventura and Jerry Lawler are also two of the best color commentators of all time. Gordon Solie is the best announcer of all time.
I can agree with that. Gordon Solie was the best play-byplay announcer of all time simply because he could call a match by himself and have it be exciting yet still having major wrestling knowledge. Gorilla Monsoon is a very VERY close second. Not only did Gorilla have great wrestling knowledge, but uncanny storytelling ability. He wrote the book on that. If I were to compare Monsoon and Solie to boxing annoucers Solie would be Howard Cosell and Monsoon would be Col. Bob Sheridan.
ALL face commentators pander towards fan favorites. That was their job. Jim Ross did the exact same thing in NWA/WCW before the Attitude era. Even afterwards. Ross blows his load over Austin just as much as Monsoon blew his over Hogan. No difference at all there.
And the lacking subjectivity comment makes no sense at all. Monsoon knew just about everything there was to know about every single wrestler's career past and present and made it relevant to what was going on at the moment.
I do agree that Ross was biased toward Austin, but Jim Ross is credible and quite knowledgeable about wrestling as well as college football. Of course, Monsoon wrestled quite a few years. He had a top backstage role as well, but I guess it was the times, he never respected the smart wrestling fan. I know it was all Kayfabe, but Gordon Solie made you proud to be a wrestling fan. Monsoon was just an ex wrestler in a bad suit.
Well, you lost all credibility with this comment. Jim Ross is quite knowledgeable, but football and wrestling are two different things. Jim Ross, Gorilla Monsoon, and Gordon Solie made you proud to be wrestling fans and your ridiculous take on Monsoon begs the question on whether you are even old enough to remember Gordon Solie. Anyone old enough to remember Solie would have more respect for Monsoon. If Ross is your favorite that's okay, but your disrespect of Monsoon is sickening.
Its all good, no reason to get upset. I am 38 years old. I grew up watching Mid-Atlantic wrestling out of the Carolinas, in the early eighties. Believe me, I know about Gordon Solie. HE'S my favorite. No one can compare to him. And for the record, I don't hate Monsoon, I just think that he was an average announcer. If he is as good as you say, it's because of guys like Ventura and Heenan doing color commentary. I do agree that he earned his spot in the WWE Hall of Fame, no doubt about that.
Heenan is THEE best color commentators of all time with Jesse a close 2nd. Lawler is good too. People forget that Mr. Perfect was briefly a color commentator also, and he was pretty good.
No doubt, I remember one time Mr T was being whipped with a belt by Piper and company, and Jesse said it looks like Roots II to McMahon. I almost died.
Damn, this brings back memories. I remembered when Orndorff hit Hogan with that clothes line, I went crazy jumping of the couch screaming 'YEAH!'. My mom was pissed, she liked Hogan. During that time I wasn't really a fan of Hogan's (still not). But was a big fan of Orndorffs, so to me that clothes line he gave Hogan was like a major deal as far as storylines. I'll never forget it and I thank you for uploading this classic moment in wrestling.

Orndorff doing the exaggerated Hogan gestures and shrugging off his opponent like a heel before his actual heel turn was beautifully subtle.

I'd have to disagree about Monsoon. He tended to pander to the fan favorites. He lacked subjectivity. Jim Ross, in my opinion is the 2nd best.
