| 4 | When Paul left the wrestling world for several years, there were rumors circulating that Orndorff had passed away. In reality he was actually running a popular Bowling Ally near Atlanta. |

| 8 | Suffers from bipolar disorder. |
| 9 | Most famous feud was vs. former friend Hulk Hogan in 1986; Orndorff (according to a storyline) was miffed that Hogan was always tending to more important business than their friendship or planned tag team matches. Their feud culminated in a steel cage match in December 1986, which later aired on national television; that match was best known for both wrestlers having left the cage and their feet simultaneously landing on the floor. The match was considered a tie (though it was shown that Hogan's feet hit the floor just a hair before Orndorff's) and ordered to be "repeated". Eventually Hogan won after performing his typical finishing combination (three punches, then a boot to the face off the ropes, then his leg drop). |
