Wrestling with Sin: 579

Brian Damage

This is the 579th installment of the ‘Wrestling with Sin‘ series. A group of stories that delves into the darker, underbelly of pro wrestling. Many of the stories involve such subjects as sex, drugs, greed and in some cases even murder! As with every single story in the Sin series, I do not condone or condemn the alleged participants. We simply retell their stories by researching interviews, newspapers, magazines and various other sources of media.

A Piece of Glass

In February of 1971, Dick Murdoch was on a tour of Australia with several other wrestlers. While on the way to a restaurant, Murdoch was driving and drinking beer with Lord Littlebrook in the passenger seat and female wrestler Katie Glass (Diamond Lil) in the backseat. During the ride, Murdoch kept nudging Littlebrook to make a move on Glass. Both Littlebrook and Glass were considered “midget wrestlers.”

After a few minutes of pressuring Littlebrook to do something with Glass, he finally relented and turned around and reached in the backseat. Littlebrook began groping and fondling Glass, to which she responded by smashing a beer bottle on the side of his head. According to Glass, Littlebrook was knocked unconscious. When the wrestlers arrived at the restaurant, Murdoch simply placed an out cold Littlebrook on the hood of his car and went to eat with Glass and a few other wrestlers they met up with.

The next day, Glass said that when Littlebrook and her crossed paths again, Littlebrook turned around and ran away. Katie Glass had the reputation of being small, but very tough.

Hugo Your Way and I’ll Go Mine

Tragedy struck Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin in 1989, when his home in Charlotte, North Carolina was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo. He and his family were left homeless. Despite the unfortunate circumstance, Ric Flair sent word to Garvin that he was expected to show up to wrestle for WCW. Garvin was taken aback considering Flair was not only a friend, but was also a resident in Charlotte and should’ve understood his predicament.

Flair, who was a member of WCW’s booking committee, insisted that he be in the towns he was booked for. When Garvin refused to leave his wife and kids and missed the next three shows, Flair fired Garvin. According to Garvin, it was an eye opener to him who were his real friends and who were not. Garvin also said he realized that pro wrestling was a cutthroat business, but the entire situation with Flair left him disgusted with wrestling. Garvin would eventually be rehired by WCW but the business was never the same for him.

Quitting in the Nick of Time

Nick Kiniski was a second generation wrestler being the son of Gene Kiniski. In 1986, Nick joined the World Wrestling Federation with the hope of making it big and making money. Unfortunately, Kiniski’s time in the WWF was very brief. He admitted that while in his hotel room after a show, a WWF road agent propositioned him. That agent was Terry Garvin, who gained a reputation for being a sexual predator.

Garvin allegedly asked Kiniski if he could give him oral sex. Garvin realizing that Kiniski wasn’t gay, offered to buy him a playboy magazine to look at while he was going down on him. Nick turned down the offer and said he called Vince McMahon immediately after the offer was made to let him know that it was completely inappropriate. Nick claimed that McMahon listened to his claim and said he would take care of it and told him to go to L.A. to make the next show.

Kiniski did what was asked, but his match was scratched that night in L.A. with no reason given. He was then booked to lose a series of matches that he was initially booked to win. Seeing the writing on the wall, Kiniski quit the company and returned home. He called his father to let him know he was walking away from the WWF and his father supported his decision by saying…”Better to be beaten than be eaten.” Kiniski said his only regret was not beating the life out of Garvin before leaving.

Not A Wonderful Situation​

The late Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff’s son Paul Orndorff III has battled drug addiction and bouts with the law. He was arrested in 2019 after a high speed chase. After being released from prison in 2023, his brother Travis Orndorff said he was initially doing well, but eventually fell back into the same bad habits.

In June of 2025, while driving his mother’s car, police in Georgia pulled over Orndorff and discovered the car was not registered. In a panic, Orndorff sped away driving over 100 mph. Police caught up to the vehicle and ordered him to get out. Orndorff refused and so the police sent a K-9 to get him out. After the dog locked onto his arm, he was forcibly removed from the car by police. ​

After a further investigation into the vehicle, they discovered meth and a loaded gun in the glove compartment. Orndorff faced multiple felony charges including fleeing law enforcement and possession of methamphetamine. His brother Travis thanked police for arresting Paul and hopes that he finally gets the treatment he needs.
