WON NEWSLETTER:\u00a0July 19, 2021 Observer Newsletter: Paul Orndorff passes away, Conor breaks leg at UFC 264<\/p>\n
Paul Orndorff, whose 1986 feud with Hulk Hogan was the most successful house show feud in pro wrestling history, passed away on 7\/12 at the age of 71.<\/p>\n
The death is sad because friends of Orndorff remember him as someone who always trained hard and was meticulous about eating, which led to one of the great physiques in wrestling\u2019s body era in the 80s. But his body and mind betrayed him starting in the 80s with his body, and both getting progressively worse over the last decade.<\/p>\n
Unlike many of his muscular counterparts, Orndorff was an elite worker in the ring until injuries during his landmark feud nearly ended his career, even though he came back and wrestled into his early 50s on a national basis.<\/p>\n

So yeah, I signed a bunch of stuff and I sat down for some talking head stuff for — they’re doing a documentary on the SmackDown after 9\/11… I have vivid memories of all of that.

\nIn an interview with Bleacher Report, Rhea Ripley spoke about the advice she\u2019s received from Vince McMahon: “He’s sort of been pretty happy with what I’ve been doing.

\nMickie James told WrestleZone about the people who are helping her put together the NWA\u2019s all-women\u2019s EmPower PPV:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m hand-selecting the women that go into the [NWA Women\u2019s Invitational] Cup, along with the women that I have aligned myself with. I\u2019m talking to Gail [Kim], I\u2019m talking to Madusa, I\u2019m talking to LuFisto, and then I have my friend, Brent Tarring, who has been my friend for ages and has really helped me a lot with this project, both behind-the-scenes and he\u2019ll be one of the commentators at the table. So I have so many amazing people that I trust and value their opinion. They\u2019re really helping me find the right talent, the stories and how to build them, to get people excited about them.<\/em><\/p>\n
Yes. I would say producers, agents. They\u2019re the ones sitting at the table with me making these decisions, helping to build the vision for each person. It\u2019s a lot of work, especially because it\u2019s all these women that haven\u2019t necessarily had a spotlight put on them. And to really showcase who they are, we need to do that and I\u2019m one person. I need the right people in there to guide that vision of what that is. I\u2019m excited. I feel like I couldn\u2019t have picked a better team to stand alongside. I think we all want the same thing, especially for women\u2019s wrestling and it\u2019s exciting. It\u2019s exciting and it\u2019s a good core group of people who are well-respected in the business.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
