NWA World Wide Wrestling 1979 - Jimmy Snuka & Paul Orndorff promo

[quazzie11]

The most popular line in wrestling history: "Let me tell you something, brother."

Snuka before 'roids

Best part of the video starts at :50 when Paul Orndorff rubs his leg and then tries to sneak in a wedgie pick. We saw you though, Paul! :)

good thing these guys had great bods cuz they sure didn't have a brain between them

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

I never knew these two worked together anywhere

Thanks for the upload

Neither one can cut a promo worth a damn

@BlackDynamiteNYC this was during a time before wrestlers were truly polished when it came to the interview. Sure there were some naturals at shit talking but as the mid 80's and 90s rolled around, mic skills became just as important as ring presence and thats when wrestlers really started honing their verbal arsenal.

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

@chazatlas At this time, guys like Superstar Billy Graham were considered great talkers, but if you watch an old Graham promo, it stinks!

Ric Flair really changed everything when it came to promos. Rowdy Roddy Piper too was one of the new breed as well.

[chazatlas]

@BlackDynamiteNYC Totally agree. Flair, Piper and definitely Dusty Rhodes. I grew up in Greenville, SC the heart of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling as a kid in the 80s and wouldn't take anything for it. Every Monday night me and my dad would go to the matches. I only knew of WWF happenings from Pro Wrestling Illustrated. I don't recall any WWF wrestlers with great mic skills during that time, only the managers, i.e. Blassie, Albano, Grand Wizard, etc.

AWESOME THANKS

[Wayneman117]

LOL...Snuka...Hes one of those wrestlers who shouldn't try N conduct an interview.

[gonzomoya420]

@Wayneman117 that's why when Snuka came to the WWF in the early 80s his gimmick was a mute savage managed by Capt Lou Albano.

[Wayneman117]

@gonzomoya420 Yea..but I still like Orndorff...one of my top 10 fav.s ever.
