Barry Orton

Randal Berry Orton (May 28, 1958 – March 19, 2021) was an American professional wrestler and actor.

He was a musician and performed in nightclubs, playing in many prominent club bands over the country.

Disappointed by a "near miss" record deal in 1976, Orton switched to professional wrestling.

Orton was a replacement for Hercules Hernandez who had recently been unmasked by Jimmy Valiant.

Orton came out of retirement in 2011 for one night for Pro Wrestling Guerilla participating in a battle royal which was won by Roddy Piper.

In the 1990s, Orton made a transition from wrestling into movies, appearing in minor roles.

Upon a friend's request, Orton went to a therapist and eventually beat his drug addiction.

However, when stories later broke that Garvin (who went on to work for the WWF front office) was involved in sexually harassing young ring boys working for the WWF, Orton came forward with his own story to back up the claims made against Garvin.
