He stood in the corner at WrestleMania 1. He challenged Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship on the first-ever Saturday Night's Main Event. He was Roddy Piper's most dangerous enforcer, wielding a cast as a weapon night after night. But by 1987, "Cowboy" Bob Orton was gone—fired by Vince McMahon after an incident that had nothing to do with what happened in the ring. This is the rise and fall of one of wrestling's most forgotten villains, a second-generation star who had everything... and lost it all. **KEY MOMENTS:** • The WrestleMania 1 backfire that cost Piper & Orndorff the match • How a real broken arm became wrestling's most dangerous weapon • The shocking betrayal that ended his partnership with Roddy Piper • The Calgary airport incident that ended his WWF career • His controversial 2005 return to help son Randy Orton --- **SUBSCRIBE** for more forgotten wrestling stories, career retrospectives, and the untold tales from wrestling's golden age! --- #WrestleMania #CowboyBobOrton #RoddyPiper #HulkHogan #ProfessionalWrestling #WWF #WrestlingHistory #RandyOrton #VinceMcMahon #ForgottenWrestlers #80sWrestling #WrestlingDocumentary
