If there is a wrestler synonymous with "tough" it would have to be "Cowboy" Bob Orton. For over thirty years, the man with wrestling in his blood, has given his heart and soul to the sport that he loves so much. He even went so far as to wrestle with a broken arm for several years!

Starting in a Florida promotion Orton was on the road constantly for 20 years chasing down the dream of so many wrestlers - superstardom. During the seventies, Orton wrestled mostly in promotions in the Southeast, more specifically in Florida and Georgia. Just as many other greats did before him, Orton built the foundations of his career by wrestling in Japan as well.

Orton joined the WWF and formed a memorable team with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, with whom he headlined the first Wrestlemania against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T. The highlight of Orton's career would come when he wrestled in the opening match of one of the largest PPV events ever, Wrestlemania III. Orton has said on many occasions that there is nothing like wrestling in front of 93,000 people. Not many wrestlers have been able to boast the same.

So, whether "Cowboy" Bob Orton was loved or hated by the fans, he always stood for one thing - "When you get knocked down, get right back up again." For the quality of Orton's toughness he has earned the title of legend in anyone's book.
