Few talents can claim to be quite as 'main event' as Paul Orndorff.

Mr. Wonderful was a solid babyface, but he was a truly phenomenal heel, with his run up against Hulk Hogan in 1986 and into '87 setting countless records - including attracting a mammoth 76,000 fans to Toronto's outdoor Big Event.
Of course, prior to that particular war with Hogan, Orndorff was also a part of the main event of the very first WrestleMania, teaming with 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper to take on Mr. T and the Hulkster.
Paul Orndorff passed away on 12 July at age 71. He had been diagnosed with dementia shortly before his death.
