By Mike Johnson on 2021-07-12 13:19:00

Travis Orndorff, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Paul Orndroff, one of the legitimately toughest men to ever enter professional wrestling and one of Hulk Hogan's greatest foes, announced that this father passed away today at 71 years old.

PWInsider.com sends our deepest condolences to the Orndorff family as well as his friends and family.

"It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my father, Paul Parlette Orndorff Jr. . He is better known as “Mr. #1derful” Paul Orndorff. Most of you will remember him for his physique. Many will remember his intensity. But if I could only get you to understand and see his heart. He will always be Pop, Paw Paw, and Daddy at home. And as much as many of you hated him as a wrestler, he absolutely loved you for it. He was an amazing father that showed me more love than I ever deserved. I love you Daddy.

A donation page is available in my bio for funeral expenses. Any close friends whom would like to speak at his funeral, please message me on Instagram Travis_Orndorff.
