Just saw this video...
Easily one of my fav heels of all time. So sad to see em in this condition. All the best to him and his family during this tough time.
He will always be Wonderful thats for sure.

That is sad to see. One of my all-time favorites. And during high school my friends and coworkers at my first job used to call me “Mr Wonderful” in honor of him.

Awful to see. One of the the all time greats in my book. An absolutely fantastic talent.

Still wish this happened  Him beating Hogan at the Big Event and holding it until January on SNME inside the cage wouldve been great |

Very sad, one of the greats. Like many during that time they could have been world champion. Does he have dementia or Alzheimer or something?

He has had dementia for the last few years. I can't remember when it was revealed but it may have been when his house was going to be sold and the fundraiser was done. He had throat cancer and beat that and it is really sad this is happening to him.
If he was in JCP during the 1980s no doubt he gets a title run as a heel and that may have even taken Flair out of the title run for a bit because Paul was that good. Whatever happens, I hope he is at some sort of peace. My grandmother just died after 15 years of severe dementia and it was pretty awful seeing her literally just being a body that everyone had to feed or move from room to room with no knowledge by her of who any one even was. I hope Paul has as much good quality of life as he can.

I met him and took a pic w/ him and Orton at WrestleCon 2017. Afterwards I told him, “Mr Orndorff, I hated you when I was 10.” He loved it. Laughed so hard.

I’ve been watching Wrestling Challenge on Peacock and they only have 86-87 on there but it’s #1derful in his prime. The guy was a star during his run as the top heel.

Loved how he would taunt Hogan by using Real American as his theme plus doing the hand to the ear. Just gold stuff all around  |

It's so sad & heartbreaking when you see someone in this condition. Especially when you remember them in their prime as a stellar athlete, actor/entertainer, scientist, etc.

That was very difficult to watch. Prayers and well wishes for him. At least there's some family support there.
