10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 21 Facts
9. Paul Orndorff Left His Hall Of Fame Plaque In His Hotel Room
WrestleMania 21 is responsible for one of the most memorable Hall of Fame classes ever, starring Hulk Hogan, and including six men he'd feuded with at some point in the 1980s. One of those individuals was Orndorff, who had made some serious dough in a hate-filled feud with Hogan in 1986-87.
A year after the ceremony, where Orndorff had given a speech equal parts gracious and entertaining, "Mr. Wonderful" blasted the entire Hall of Fame concept, saying that it didn't mean anything to him, and adding that he only made the appearance because he was told he'd be paid.
He also claims to have left behind what he referred to as a "twenty-dollar plaque" in his Los Angeles hotel room, a show of what he thought of the whole spectacle.
