WWE Hall of Famer Paul Orndorff made headlines recently when his son released a video of his father. Mr. Wonderful was in a bad way and he didn’t appear to be himself. Now we have a bit more clarity about what is going on.
According to Hannibal TV, Orndorff is suffering from late stages of dementia. This is a very sad situation that has left him in a bad state. Sadly, the situation doesn’t seem to be improving.
Orndorff’s son Travis is the one who released the original video footage and also informed Hannibal of his father’s condition. The video has since been taken down. He has taken his father out of the hospital where he is being cared for at his son’s home.
Our thoughts are with the Orndorff Family during this time. Hopefully, he can improve and get back to his old self. This is a tragic situation for any family to deal with.
Unfortunately, Orndorff is not the only pro wrestling legend who is battling dementia. It was recently revealed that Terry Funk is now in an assisted living home where he is also battling dementia.
We’re sending out our best to everyone involved in these situations.
