Posted June 24Jun 24 comment_6031741 PAUL ORNDORFF vs BOB ORTON (05/25/1985; WWF Philadelphia Spectrum; 00:15:45) - CHARLES: “Orndorff is now a full-on babyface and is over pretty big right away. The entrance gave me chills.” - Orndorff attacks Ace right away capped off by an atomic drop that sends Ace outside. Ref held Paul as he was trying to go outside which allowed Orton to pop Paul in the head. Orndorff goes for that arm, ramming it on the turnbuckles and yanking it on the ropes. Insanely awesome spot where Orton tried to piledrive Paul but he back body drops him into a tree of woe and is stuck on the turnbuckle. FUCK, THAT WAS BADASS. Orton counters the arm work with a fireman’s carry into a Samoan Drop. Orton has that slow deliberate offense but the crowd is in to this match. Orton goes for a splash but lands on knees. He takes the Adonis bump head first in to the ring post. Orndorff is pissed and rakes the eyes with the ropes. HE starts using Orton’s face as a punching bag and Orndorff throws the ref as he punches Orton. He does it a 2nd and 3rd time and is disqualified. Bad finish but this is still a STRONG NOMINATION.
