Early life

Orton was born in Amarillo, Texas, the son of professional wrestler Bob Orton and his wife Rita. He moved to Kansas City, Missouri with his parents three days after being born.

Career

Orton made his pro wrestling debut in 1976. During his career in wrestling he competed in the WWF (1984–1988), ICW, WOW, the NWA, the IWF and Stampede Wrestling (where, while appearing as the masked Zodiac, he managed Jason the Terrible) he was mainly used as an enhancement talent. In 1984 Barry wrestled for around 3 months under a mask as the Assassin #3 with Jody Hamilton. Barry was a replacement for Hercules Hernandez who had recently been unmasked by Jimmy Valiant.

In 1992, Orton retired from wrestling. In the 1990s, Orton made a transition from wrestling into movies, starring in minor roles.

gollark: My guess: some developer wanted to test their push notification server or something, but accidentally used the *production* one and not the development one.
