So this is the show that saw the end of the wrestling career of one “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff.
You folks remember Mr. Wonderful? Wrestlemania main eventer, once had a cage match with Hulk Hogan on Saturday Night’s Main Event? Eventually jumped to WCW and formed a tag team with former Horseman Paul Roma? Yeah, Mr. Wonderful wasn’t feeling wonderful until he had a chance encounter with Gary Spivey – that psychic with the ridiculous hair – and then he had a bit of a revival that ended with his mirror breaking and he needed Gary’s help again… at which point, he got a new mirror.
So he has a match with Disco Inferno and he beats the guy with a pretty slick back suplex… and then he runs into the Horsemen, they have a spat, and next thing you know, they’re given poor Mr. Wonderful a spike piledriver that pretty much put him out of wrestling forever. So ends the career of Paul Orndorff… which was going to end sooner or later due to years of lingering neck issues, so this was a way to write him off. Some psychic you turned out to be, Gary, you fucking hack.
The main event featured Hulk Hogan teaming with WCW World Champion Randy Savage against Flair and Arn Anderson… and since this is Charlotte, NC – Flair Country, pretty much – the crowd is very much against Hogan, who does his usual thing because he’s delusional… so, of course, Hogan wins and there’s a brawl afterwards… eh. I’ve seen worse.
