Terry Orndorff (73)

1951-10-07 | Winchester, Virginia, U.S.

Terry Orndorff was an American professional wrestler, the younger brother of Paul “Mr. Wonderful” Orndorff. He debuted in 1978 and wrestled in several promotions, notably in Mid-South Wrestling, where he won tag team championships. He had a rivalry with Junkyard Dog and won the NWA Tri-State Tag Team Championship. In 1981, he also had a stint in Big Time Wrestling, where he won the NWA World Tag Team Championship (Texas version). After a car accident in 1982, Orndorff made a brief return to the ring but retired that same year. His wrestling style was aggressive, and his finishing move was the airplane spin. Despite a relatively short career, he left a mark on professional wrestling.
