During a recent edition of his “Tuesday with The Taskmaster” podcast, former WCW wrestler and booker Kevin Sullivan commented on WWE Hall of Famer Paul Orndorff, and his belief that Orndorff doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Paul Orndorff: “Here’s another guy that doesn’t get his due. I want you to look at Paul Orndorff, go back and look at his tapes, and watch when he gets a guy down in the corner and starts kicking him. He goes first gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear, overdrive, and then he goes berserk. He was a real athlete.”
On Orndorff knocking out Vader: “I knew Paul from the time he got in the business, I was only a couple of years ahead of hi. He was the branded bull, he was the real deal, a tough guy. I was there when he KO’d Vader and almost kicked his head off.”
During a recent Q&A session at Monopoly Events’ “For The Love of Wrestling” convention, WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner commented on his heel turn and transition to singles work in WCW staring in 1998.
You can check out some highlights from the Q&A session below:
On his heel turn in 1998: “I love wrestling with my brother, proving that we’re the best tag team in the world but at some point it had to come to an end.”
On changing his look after he turned heel: “I was at the point in my career where I was really pissed off. The next day [at WCW Nitro] a lot of people didn’t recognize who I was, even the announcers didn’t know who I was.”
On using the Steiner Recliner as his finisher: “I basically didn’t want the fans to cheer for because in my mind [if you’re a heel] and you get cheered, you should be fired.”
