WWE Hall Of Famer Paul Orndorff Launches GoFundMe Campaign To Save His House
WWE Hall of Famer Paul Orndorff currently has a GoFundMe campaign to help save his house. The campaign goal is set at $10,000 with $5,000 needed by October 1 to pay the property taxes or his house will be sold off. The other $5,000 will go towards medical visits/medication so he can travel again to see fans.
Here's the full description from the GoFundMe page, which was created by his son, Travis Orndorff:
"After entertaining the world over, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff sacrificed his mind and body and is now in desperate financial abyss. He is in need of 5 thousand dollars to pay his property taxes or he will lose his house. We need to hit that goal by October 1st. The additional funds will allow him to go to his medical visits and pay for medication. He is unable to travel to visit his fans and sign autographs. Thank you for your donation and the largest donation submitted by 10/1 of at least $500 will receive his "Mr. Wonderful" black and gold robe, if we hit our 10k dollar goal. God bless."
Cauliflower Alley Club President, Brian Blair, also commented on Orndorff, noting he's "battling severe CTE."
