Orton is the biggest draw, simplae as tht

That's my gimmick lad

I'll actually kinda agree with Orton drawing then, but don't really remember what else was going on.

Yeah, seeing who the champ is is not enough to determine why business did well. Punk was an afterthought to Cena during a good part of his reign, Orton was an afterthought to Cena as well... basically, Cena's always the #1 dude and the business fluctuates periodically by itself. It's useless to debate anything outside of Cena, I mean, he's the only thing who matters

Orton has been fucked over by the lilly livered suits left right and center

He was over as rover in 2009 and guess what? they fucked up making him look vunerable to Shane O Mac

He was looking like the next Austin in 2010, and guess what? they booked cena as the focus

it has always been about someone else, book the show around him, and you will get the best show going, at the end of the day

I semi agree here.
Orton had been booked like a poor man's Austin, but he was exactly that (a poor man's Austin).
Vince doesn't like change too much and Cena is still whom he perceives to be the prototype (pun intended) babyface
The only reason Austin was the featured babyface was because business needed him, not because he was Vince's preference
Without competition if Vince is choosing between Cena and Orton, he will always choose Cena
Cena is easier for Vince to book. Orton requires more complex storylines the core audience may not easily grasp

Listen, friend, its no secret that I am a randy orton fan. But you're out of your mind if you think he is the popular choice. Sure, he gets some legit heat from a portion of the casual fans, but then again, john cena gets reactions from a even bigger of the fans. I'm not saying I rather have Cena as champion, fuck no. But he draws a lot better than orton right now, I would be delighted to have Randy as champion, but that would be a gamble. As previously mentioned, Cena is easier to book and the safest choice to make righ no

As I said so many times before, we have to remember that this is a company that lives on popularity alone and sometimes our opinion doesn't really matter that much because we are the minority. Even if we think a guy wrestles better, looks better or talk better than his peers, if he can't captivate most of the audience, then he should not be getting a push. I'm confidente that there may be a time on the future where orton is getting the desired reactions, but that is simply not realistic right now

Edit: I'm not saying orton gets poor reactions or that he is a bad draw, what was previously stated was simply a comparison to Cena and the other guys that could be getting the belt

Cena is just someone the suits have pushed to get the kids involved

Orton has been the bread and butter of the company for years. He has kept the old wrestling fans about, at the edn of the day.

Are you Nostradamus or Nicchio Machiavelli? You seem to know quite a lot about what will happen at the end of the day.
