Orton is the golden goose
You dont mess wth the golden goose
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
