[1985-11-07-WWF-The Wrestling Classic] Bob Orton Jr. vs Paul Orndorff

[cactus]

We FINALLY get a match that goes longer than five minutes and it's a lot of fun. They work quicker than I expected them to and the freshly turned babyface Mr Wonderful gets a lot of love from the crowd. Orton is a brilliant bumper and great at playing the chickenshit heel. He's still using his cast gimmick, and he ends up accidentally getting himself disqualified when the referee catches him using it a weapon. I'd usually call that a bullshit finish, but it added to the whole one-night tournament storyline. wasn't expecting to enjoy this one as much as I did.
