Cowboy Orton was a natural in the ring . Had he broke in in the sixties instead of the seventies I really believe he would have been NWA champ . By the eighties , what you did in the ring was only as important as what you do behind a mic . Mic skills were Bob Orton’s Achilles’ Heel . What a shame . I saw Orton wrestle Terry Funk in San Antonio and it was one if the all time best matches I had ever seen to this very day .
Stan is more over now than he was then . Wrestling had changed then . A big rawboned Cowboy wasn’t the draw it used to be when he was given the AWA World Championship . Hogan had most young fans thinking he looked tough . Stan was no gym rat . Truth is , as a draw in the US the writing was on the wall for Stan because all of the new fans not really valuing the old idea of what a tough guy looked like .
Thank you for doing these, guys. They do make us smile. I'm looking forward to seeing who pops up next year. Take care of yourselves.
