Cowboy Bob Orton is wrestling right now.

[Graf Orlok]

I kid you not.

Turn on Smackdown on UPN to see this old-timer wrestle The Undertaker.

Some people should just retire and stay retired, like Orton and others. (*cough*Ric Flair*cough*)

1. He must be flabby and grey and all out of shape now

wish I could watch it, but I'm still at work

[Graf Orlok]

2. He's not as bad as Ric Flair.

At least he's wearing a shirt and blue jeans.

[Kat45]

3. Man, how old is that guy? He was old 15 years ago!

[Graf Orlok]

4. I have no idea...

but he's gotta be in his late 50's, you'd think. :shrug:

5. He's 55.

7. As a little kid, I remember dick the bulldog browser, T-Bolt Patterson,

Erik the Red (who had a pet bone), Mil Mascaras, Bruno San Martino, Thunderbolt Patterson, Chief Jay Strongbow, Dino Bravo and Gino Brito AKA the Italian connection,Professor Fuji Tanaka.... and don't forget the one of a kind country boy Haystacks Calhoun. And there was midget wrestling... Sky Lo Lo comes to mind. I must have been about seven.

12. I saw many of the greats wrestle in the old days

Dick The Bruiser


The Crusher (Dick's cousin)

Blackjack Lanza


Wilber Snyder (the last proponent of "scientific wrestling")


Baron Von Rashke


and many others from that era.

My brother used to take me to the matches every friday evening. It was heaven.

or how about the 'dudLeys'?

'shane dougLas' used to be 'troy (not positive on the first name) orndoff' who was the (son?) of mr. wonderfuL.

[Graf Orlok]

But yeah, according to many sources, Bob and Randy are both related.

His rat ass kid deserved having his ass handed to him too.

[Graf Orlok]
