Mid-South Wrestling promoter Bill Watts had a strict rule that his wrestlers would be fired if they ever lost a fight in public. When Watts heard Bobby Orton Jr lost a bar fight, he said, “I looked at his knuckles, and there wasn’t any bruises on ‘em, I didn’t think he’d thrown enough punches, and fired him,” and it’s unclear whether Paul Orndorff also fell victim to this rule.
