Paul Orndorff was so fantastic! Totally believable as an athlete and a dirty heel. Love Hogan/Orndorff matches. Totally stiff for WWF standards back in the day.

Orndoff was badass back in the day.

As usual, another fucked ending courtesy of that paedophile Bobby Heenan.

@BrandonJay619 I think the referee saw Heenan get involved by hitting Hogan with the stool, but Monsoon said something about Orndorff getting DQed for running into the ref. But Hogan knocked him into the ref, OK?

i dont need to watch this match to no that the Huckster lol Huckster, wins this match!

[keef186]

This was the most over hyped match and it was a complete dud.

@stndrds79 im not canadian but i will say this canadian wrestling fans know good wrestling and i think thats why they much prefer paul over hulk

[H20mocasin]

that was not a back breaker gorilla monsoon...that was a basic back drop escape from pile driver

[stndrds79]

definitely a noticeable crowd favoring orndorff here in canada.

[stndrds79]

@tonypanz it does seem the crowd is favoring orndorff over hogan. i think canadians didnt prefer hogan as they do in the states

[bowlbrawl]

hogan looks like he's about to have a stroke those roids made him so full of water no definition

[NWpowerhouse85]

@tonypanz Even in his prime here, there were certain cities that, for whatever reason, just didn't like the Hulkster.

I've always wondered why certain areas hate certain wrestlers, particularly when it's an anomaly like seen here..
