Paul Parlette Orndorff Jr. (October 29, 1949 - July 12, 2021), nicknamed "Mr. Wonderful", was an American professional wrestler and college football player, best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW).
After seven years working around the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), Orndorff became a star in the 1980s WWF wrestling boom, and featured with manager Bobby Heenan and champion Hulk Hogan extensively, including in the main events of the first WrestleMania and Survivor Series. With an untreated neck injury, he left the WWF for WCW in early 1990, where he won the WCW World Television Championship and the WCW World Tag Team Championship with Paul Roma (as a team called Pretty Wonderful).
Arm atrophy from a nagging injury led him to retire in 2000 and he was treated for cancer in 2011. After retiring, he trained aspiring wrestlers. Orndorff was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 and the National Wrestling Alliance Hall of Fame in 2009.
On July 12, 2021, Orndorff died of his dementia at the age of 71 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Paul Orndorff is buried at Camp Memorial Park in Fayetteville North Carolina.

    Seriously? I'm sensing some hair envy. It's OK to not like your hair and/or age, but it's not OK to be a jerk to others who have better luck/genetics than what you're insecure about.

    Growing up, I always cheered for the villains in wrestling, movies, cartoons etc. I loved the Cobra Commander in G.I Joe including Destro. Like I literally dreamt about working with Cobra Commander. Even with He-Man I cheered for Skeletor and his comrades. When kids were talking about eating their vitamins and saying prayers because Hogan told them to do so, I was cheering for Paul Orndorff and the Iron Sheik. I even have a set of the Iranian hammers in my home office signed by The Sheik when I was in college back in 1996. The Sheik didn’t give them to me, my old Strength And Conditioning coach gave them to me. I’m from the southeast (Georgia) where the NWA/WCW was king. But I still watched the WWF/WWE on Sunday afternoon when it aired on USA and Saturday night was NWA night then myself and friends went to our local skating rink Cascades. RIP King Paul, I worked out hard so I could get the same physique as Paul Thanks Scott and I hope you’re enjoying my home state of Georgia

I was always Mr. Wonderful I was 12 year old 7th grader by the 8th grade I graduated up to the Hulkster. I always found Hogan in later years to be demeaning towards Paul never getting his last name right.

    How sad that a fellow who looked like he could have taken on Superman ended up in such poor condition. I do believe that sports like wrestling and boxing does a lot of damage to a person's body. I often wondered why these two sports aren't band. He did seem to live a longer life though then many of the others had. It's just kind of shocking to see the before and after of him.

I am like you - I remember the massive chest, huge arms and washboard abs. I walked by him several times before I realized it was him - my heart broke because he was a shell of his former self and in so much pain, he was unable to stand!
