Paul Orndorff vs. Ron Simmons

[6.0] "I actually quite liked this and thought it was effective at immediately establishing Orndorff as somebody of importance on the roster. He looked good here and had a surprising chemistry with Simmons, which resulted in a much smoother match than we'd usually see from Ron (and I say this as a fan of his, but 'smooth' is generally not a word I'd use to describe his matches). They keep the action moving throughout the contest, and while the finish is a little disappointing, it was convincing and perfectly achieved the goal of the match - and I loved the way Orndorff sold the countout, too. Great heel work there."

[8.0] "Mr. #1derful's return to WCW! Madusa is at ringside as Orndorff's secret weapon, she is on loan from Rick Rude so you know he is close by. The two have chemistry and Orndorff looks great. Simmons is so powerful that practically any maneuver from him is devastating, so Orndorff stays on the offense. Paul Orndorff misses a dropkick and gives us the rare full rotation face first belly bump. Almost no one did that but Mr. #1derful did it often! A powerslam by Ron Simmons would end things but Madusa interjects. Rick Rude comes to save her but eats a fist from World Champion Ron. Crazy great referee bump from Randy "Don't call me Peewee" Anderson. This leaves an opportunity for Rick Rude to piledrive our hero on the concrete outside, giving Paul Orndorff the victory. No problems here! 7.75"
