General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

It's weird they never went back to Orndorff/Hogan in WCW, except for a one-off tag match that wasn't aired, apparently

Because Orndorff's lingering injury had gotten so bad that he was atrophying on one side of his body, he had to retire

 

[Samoa Looch]

Yea, I know

 

[Sky]

They wheeled him out once in 2000 and he got injured by giving a Piledriver

 

[Samoa Looch]

But still you'd think they go back to that well once more for a house show match in 95

 

[Samoa Looch]

Instead Orndorff only got to fight Hulk's best friend the Renegade

 

[Chris]

Maybe Hogan didn't really like him as much then lol

 

[Samoa Looch]

That's very likely

 

[Sky]

Maybe Hogan didn't really like him as much then lol

He didn't like guys who wouldn't roll over for him

That Renegade title run is by far the worst in TV title history right lol like not counting extremely short ones at least but even if you did it still might win

 

[Chris]

And that's a belt that has a Stevie Ray reign of terror

Sky fact number 279! When WCW announced the death of the Renegade they didn't bother to get his shoot name right

 

[Chris]

I actually didn't know they acknowledged it at all since he wasn't with the company at the time unless I'm misremembering that

He had only recently left the company actually

 

[Sky]

His last job was funnily enough as one of the fake Warriors in the Hogan/Warrior feid
