• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (March 19, 2021) – Old School WWF Jobber Passed Away
On this day in 2021 we lost Old School WWF Veteran Barry O (Real Name: Barry Orton) at the age of 62 due to an undisclosed medical condition.
Barry, who was the brother of WWF Legend & WWE Hall of Famer “Cowboy” Bob Orton Jr. and the uncle of WWE Veteran Randy Orton, wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation from 1984 to 1987 and again from 1990 till 1991.
A lot of fans still remember his involvement in the 1992 WWF S*x-Scandal, where he made quite a few talk show appearances as a former victim of Terry Garvin’s harassment.
REST IN PEACE BARRY ORTON!
May 28, 1958 – March 19, 2021
