    My grandfather born 1922 in Puerto Rico both Tito Santana and Pedro Morallis was his favorite wrestlers. I grew up with all those classic wrestlers during the 70's and 80's. As a kid I met several of them when WWF in those days were coming to local high schools.

    According Greg Valentine in video on youtube said "The belt was in box in your basement. But your wife Leah collected boxes from the basement believing to be trash or the boxes were damaged by water dampness. And it was thrown out. (Assuming this is a story you told him)

      Yes, I think he looked at programs with Hulk Hogan was where the money was. But Vince thought he was 51/50 anyhow, I would have loved to see Orndorff with the IC title though. His feud with Santana was at the point where a title change would have made sense.

    I could be wrong, but I think his feud with Rick Martel was even longer than the one with Valentine. The Martel feud started in 1989 and every battle royal they were in saw them going at each other until Tito left in 1993.

    I wish you would have asked Tito about Wrestlemania #1 and his masked challenger. I am probably one of the only wrestling fans that knows that the wrestler was Ed Wright, and NOT Buddy Rose. I worked with Ed for a security company. Ed trained me, and he showed me his Wrestlemania ring. He told me who he was and that he wrestled Tito Santana. He proved it to be true after further discussion with him, but not to many fans out there ever knew that Ed Wright existed as a professional wrestler. ✌️

    Actually, the green bet was NOT the original. The original IC title had a red strap. Over the years sweat, alcohol, and various "bodily fluids" had turned it black, at which time the plates were transferred to the green belt.

He was the most fit, most handsome, and contrary to what you have said he was very smart and he played by the rules. He got defeated only when his opponent would cheat
