Timbo Slice Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Another one of my old favorites but don't think he has the stuff to make it either. When going through some WCW stuff recently I didn't like too much of his work. He definitely has his highlights, but I don't see him making my list.

BillThompson Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I'll echo what Timbo said. Orndorff was the consummate pro, but the body of work for a list like this just isn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrisZ Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 What sucks about Orndorff is when he was probably at his peak as a worker from 1980-83 we don't have enough of a good sampling size to help his case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Orndorff was a good worker. Not good enough to get on a list like this, but in both WWF and WCW viewing I've found him to be consistently good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 He has a lot of good matches against the likes of Piper, Santana, Steamboat , Hogan ,Dustin Rhodes, Cactus Jack, and Orton. He's missing those standout performances. He has his strengths. He has an intensity to him, and you really believe in him as a wrestler and as a personality in the ring. I don't see him making my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheapshot Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Like everyone else, he had his moments but his body of work isn't at a top 100 level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I just wanted to say that I've always thought his early 90s WCW has been underrated. He's so intense and stiff during that run. I ran the numbers and the computer said no, but if I was doing my list just based on "guys I quite like", he'd probably make it. Like if you asked me what I'd rather watch, random early 90s Paula or random peak Shawn Michaels, I'd go Paul seven days out of seven. But GWE has never been about that to me.

Reel Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 I've been slowly working my way through the Cornette Garbage Tapes, and '78-80 high-flying babyface Paul Orndorff rules, I don't think there's enough to make my top 100, but if we had more of that stuff, combined with his peak 80s stuff and his late WCW run, I think he'd have a solid case.

Embrodak Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Gotta say, Orndorff in Mid South owns, just a phenomenal worker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
