We’re back with some liner notes from our “Under the Tutelage” bonus episode! This was an episode where our co-host Eclectik got to give us his take on the 80′s WWF era. And as we all know, E’s all about the heels, so this should be a rather villainous trip:
Hulk Hogan and Paul Orndorff victorious in '86! Who could have predicted what would happen next?
“The Great Betrayal” – Paul Orndorff turns on Hulk Hogan
In 1986, Hulk Hogan was riding high and had begun tagging with friend and fellow WWF good guy “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff. Ordorff was a ripped muscular powerhouse, and I remember at the time thinking he might even be a better overall wrestler than The Hulkster, but I was glad the two of them were on the same side. The team had to face off against the menacing monster team of King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd. Orndorff starts the match and easily handles both Bundy and Studd, gaining the cheers from the raucous crowd, but then tags in the champ. Hogan proceeds to body slam the 7 foot Big John Studd, which blows the roof off the venue (in Poughkeepsie, NY, btw)– much to the jealous dismay of “Mr. Wonderful”. Eventually Studd and Bundy get the better of Hogan as The Hulkster becomes the face in peril. Minutes later, in a wild flurry of offense, Hogan accidenally elbows the outstretched Orndorff in the eye, knocking him off the apron. The match ends in a DQ and Orndorff eventually comes in to aid his partner. He raises Hogan’s hand in victory… and then… well…
In the 80's WWF, you weren't "managed" by Mr. Fuji, you were "under the tutelage" of Mr. Fuji.
