Mr Wonderful's best matches were with Hogan, but sadly it backfire on him and made him a jobber afterwards. Never reached is full potential, excellent heel

[MrBoricuaSuperman]

Amazing how some fants chanted "Wonderful! Wonderful!" and still the narrators played it off like it never happened. Still many fans did not like Hogan even back then. It kinda reminds me of John Cena this day & age-lol!!!

as a fued i dont think anybody has ever been over like these guy's were people believed that hogan was nearly invinsable and orndorff was his only real competition and everyone thought one of these times paul was gonna get the win and it's a shame they never let him have that belt even if it would have been briefly he earned it no one was over as a heel like orndorff

[bowlbrawl]

two fans took bobby's pants i remember that before the match started classic stuff they don't do pant high spots anymore

Paul Orndorff should have given him 5 or 6 piledrivers!

@urbanflavorz Ohh yeaa, you can't even compare to today.

If you want to see a really hot crowd, watch the Ultimate Warrior vs Hogan at WM6 match.

Maybe they should've stuck to Eye of the Tiger in Canada lol. If I remember, don't the fans boo Hogan at the end of this match?

People thought it was real back then... Than in 1987 Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the Iron Sheik get pulled over for DUI, and coke possesion... When they were supposed to be bitter rivals... Kind of through the mystique away... If miss the old days, reminds of childhood... Ultimate Warrior, The Rockers, The Demolition Team, Mr. Perfect, Big Boss Man... That was some good old WWF... Now its more like a male soap opera the WWE...
