"Orlandon Jordan stands as the longest reigning United States Champion, not only in WWE history, but in the last decade."

Not only in the whole history, but also for the entire last decade?? I thought it was the other way aorund. Year -> decade -> history...

No, it's not the other way around, since "the last decade" is a longer period of time since the U.S. Title has been in WWE. It used to be the WCW U.S. Title and even before that the NWA U.S. Title.Politician818 04:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Anyone got a picture of Orlando that we can use? ekedolphin 04:04, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Why woule he be related to Jordan Orlando, they have different last names. That just because their names are the opposite doesn't make them related. That's just dumb Ganley894 04:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bisexual Character

Please cite sources as to where you heard that Orlando is allegedly playing a bi-sexual character. Also, is it true that he is bi-sexual in real life? Jdotpitts 20:08, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

There were plans for Orlando to participate in an angle where he was bisexual, though nothing has come to fruition as of yet... Oh and if there were 'rumors' that he was bi in real life, those claims were started by members of the IWC who are secretly in the closet. Matt

That transexual angle was going to involve Trinity and CM Punk. But now it has aparently been scraped. fishhead2100 April 29, 2006 4:01PM (UTC)

On his Myspace page he claimed to be bi-sexual and had several disturbing pictures with another guy. JamX3K

[edit] Date Of Birth

Anyone got any reliable info regarding his date of birth? Cos WWE magazine and various websites list it as April 21st, yet on here and IMDB.com it's put as mid-July... I wanna know cos I'm taking a 'happy birthday Orlando' sign to a Smackdown house show this week...

[edit] Finisher

Can someone cite the source where they found OJ's latest finishing move the name and the fact of using the fameasser.

I always thought OJ's Reverse STO finisher was called the "The Best Move Ever", which was a play off of Christopher Daniels' "Best Moonsault Ever".

[edit] Is that encyclopedic?

"In other news, Orlando Jordan just got seen with Chris Kanyon walking into the New York City Hilton."

I also haven't heard that part about Tatanka before. Umdunno

[edit] Age

Orlando is listed here as being born in 1971 but his category says 1981. Which year is it really? 69.137.234.44 22:33, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I can assure you 1981 is not correct and I am skeptical about 1971 as well. Orlando Jordan did win a Virginia AAA State Championship in 1993 (Senior Year), so an educated guess puts his birth year at 1975; with 1974 and 1976 also being remote possibilities.

[edit] Garbage inserted into article

I deleted the paragraph about Orlando being seen in a hotel with Kanyon. It wasn't cited, and, btw, Chris Kanyon isn't even gay. He has a gay gimmick.Politician818 04:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually Chris Kanyon is gay and he has announced that it isn't just his character who is gay but him also. So if your going to say that kind of stuff you might want to get your info right.--The Sess 19:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
