Can you imagine Orton headlining Mania? lol, I can, but it is hilariously sad

We've seen it, Wrestlemania 25.

After giving him this big moment there's no way he doesn't headline WM, but who cares about the Raw after Mania preshow anymore

Is he really? Thought he was pretty similar to the old Orton in the match last night. Might just be a cynical bastard on this one since I never blame the talent, but gotta complain about Creative.

Randy Orton: Positives: Clearly defined psychopath character, plays a great badass in the ring, solid worker
Cons: Mic skills

Makes a lot of sense to just put him in several backstage segments of him bitching at the Shield and the Authority. Of all the guys on the roster who can't get over because they're wrestling random matches and never talking or defining their characters, the one guy who can get over with ring work alone gets more mic time than Sandow. lolwwelogic

Bryan/Orton has no chance of happening as they have already done it like 6 times this year. It happened on last week's SD ffs!

Bryan is well out of the title picture now after losing clean in that manner to the Wyatts.

Not necessarily, as it was 3-on-1. If anything, that could be the fire that is lit underneath him that motivates him to win the Royal Rumble.

Bryan/Orton has no chance of happening, of course, but that's why I've been saying for awhile that the title match at Mania could be a triple threat match. I feel like I'm repeating myself here, but as I've said before, I would love for them to recreate the ending of the '94 Royal Rumble where two guys go over the top rope and are both declared the winner. Imagine Bryan and Cena are those last two guys standing in the ring across from one another at the end of the Rumble who end up co-winning it. It would be a nice callback to their short rivalry from this year.

Punk/HHH seems like the possible match that's being built up for now (what with him going over The Shield and whatnot) and I could see him and Orton happening at the Rumble as a way of further building up to it.

I fell asleep during his entrance and missed the ME. Snapped into consciousness right as he was winning the belts and I just slammed my laptop shut in frustration.

fuck the guy man. who wants to see him be the top guy? Anyone? anyone? anyone?

didn't think so
This for me! Since he has been featured in the ME its bored me to tears. He for me was doing better as a face but now no one gives a s**t. I dont think its helped that Steph and HHH have overshadowed him on a weekly basis. Meh my care cup is empty roll on him getting beat.

I suppose it's not going to be a ratings disaster or anything, but it sure will be boring to see Orton if he's the same he was on Raw last night every week. And he will be.

I thought his promo was good right before the match last night.

I will admit, I did mark a bit when he got the low blow title defense. That is a good way to get heat, at least that was well done in my opinion.
