8 Real WWE Fights That Surpassed Anything You Saw In The Ring
1. Vader Vs. Paul Orndorff
This epic tussle between Vader and Mr. Wonderful is widely considered to be the most vicious non-lethal fight ever to go down between two wrestlers. At the time, Vader was wrestling in WCW and Orndorff was a member of the production management. So when Vader showed up late to an event, Orndorff gave him a dressing down of sorts, which then dissolved into a fist fight. Up front, you should know that there is no version of this story that doesn't end with Orndorff stomping the big guy into the ground. But, for the sake of fairness, let's hear both sides of the story. First up, Big Van Vader:
"Paul was threatening me four or five inches from my face and I slapped him. He came off of his feet and landed on the back of his head. There was this steel shed that they had these big, giant steel tools in to put the ring together and his head must have missed that by three inches. Then, I backed up against the wall and Sting was to my right and I crossed my hands in front of me and I was just not going to fight, thinking that I could end up in jail very easily. Paul hit me three or four times directly in the face and I let it happen. I didn't move...I didn't fight back and finally as he was going for a fifth hit, I grabbed him. I grabbed him and front-face locked him and we went to the ground. He got up first and kicked me a few times in the face. Before I could get up, he had been ushered into the agent's room.They had gotten him in that room and I went in after him and they said, 'Leon, you cannot fight in here. Get out.' So, I told Paul, 'Let's go out in the parking lot and finish this.' Now, I was very upset and I was ready to fight. Now, I'm not saying that Paul wouldn't have went out to the parking lot with me but he wasn't allowed to and that's pretty much the way it ended."
And now for Mr. Wonderful's version:
"It was one of those unfortunate things that happened... The last thing I remember is that I was kicking him in the face with my flip-flops on and it hurt."
Not that these altercations need a winner to be declared but...it was definitely Orndorff.
