On this episode of Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw, WWE Hall of Famer Gerald Brisco and John Bradshaw Layfield take us back into the archives to bring us some of the most unbelievable professional wrestling stories you'll ever hear.
Cowboy Orton was a natural in the ring . Had he broke in in the sixties instead of the seventies I really believe he would have been NWA champ . By the eighties , what you did in the ring was only as important as what you do behind a mic . Mic skills were Bob Orton’s Achilles’ Heel . What a shame . I saw Orton wrestle Terry Funk in San Antonio and it was one if the all time best matches I had ever seen to this very day .
Stan is more over now than he was then . Wrestling had changed then . A big rawboned Cowboy wasn’t the draw it used to be when he was given the AWA World Championship . Hogan had most young fans thinking he looked tough . Stan was no gym rat . Truth is , as a draw in the US the writing was on the wall for Stan because all of the new fans not really valuing the old idea of what a tough guy looked like .
