Big O |
This weeks column is dedicated to the memory of Bob Orton Sr., who passed away this weekend. Bob was a father figure in the dressing rooms. When he traveled with us, he always looked out for everybody and kept us laughing most of the time with his wit and humor. He helped us with mastering holds and counter holds in the ring. His knowledge of the business was very vast and correctly taught to him by one of the great masters, Karl Gotch. He was the father of Cowboy Bob Orton Jr., Barry O and Rhonda. He was husband to Rita and grandfather to Randy, current star with the WWE. He would have been 77 on Friday, July 21, but God needed a heavy hitter in Heaven for a main event and called Bob to that big ring in the sky. I am sure that he is now with many of his friends, like Buddy Rogers, Frank Aultman, Orville Brown, Red Berry, Baron Leone and Gorgeous George.
