Finally, an Orton thread, so I can comment. The reason Randy Orton is good is because he rises to the occassion and steps up, and he hasn't had a chance to do this for a long time, due to multiple reasons, mainly because most of the people backstage hate him, which is lame as hell to hold him back just because of that while they're a pushing someone who is 3x less talented, who's attitude is just about as bad, and 10 years older than Orton (*cough* Batista). Anyways, I HIGHLY doubt Orton is going to win the MITB, but he's in the top 2 (only other one) who actually has a chance to win it next to the of course obvious winner who is going to be Mrrrrrr. Kennnnedy. I don't think there's been a wrestler who's career has been so fucked up at a younger age then Orton. He has a "legend killer" gimmick, whick is sick, but the only legit legends that had the balls to job to him were Flair and Foley (props). Someone said it before, but he needs to win an actual big feud and then a push and MOST of all I've said it before and I'll say it again, the main thing he needs which would get him extremely over and pushed to the main even/title scene is a faction revolved around him.
Oh wow, not relieving himself in a diva's gym that really effects his work in the ring so much... give me a break he's in his mid 20's he has room to "mature", Batista is almost 40, hence my point. I can't remember Orton ever getting into a fight with another superstar nor boasting of how he carries the show, I guess that's not childish huh, adults do that all the time.Yeah, Batista has been caught relieving himself in a diva's gym. Yeah, Batista has been caught doing several other things. Give me a break, Batista might have a bad attitude, but atleast he hasnt dont the childish and wreckless stuff that Orton has.
Ok, I guess I didn't make myself clear. The only legit legends to actually PUT OVER Orton instead of win the feud and bury him some more. It's an opinionated statement in a sense because I don't count Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and The Undertaker as legends anyways, yet that is, definitily later in their career, but are they even close to retiring? No, probably not, 'Taker is probably the only close one and we don't even know that for a fact, whereas Foley for sure we can assume is pretty much retired, 2-3 matches a year if that, returns just to promote his shit, etc. Flair's age single handedly pretty much makes him a legend and the fact that the only reason he's around still is to put over younger talent justifies my claims to that and he will be retiring very soon, we can definitily assume that.The only legit legends that have jobbed to Orton is Flair and Foley? What about Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker?
When's the last time Orton was in trouble for some stupid crap backstage? And he recieved his punishment, and I hope you realize Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and others were just the same way when they were his age, now look where they are. Point being you can look at him as a joke or whatever, but the fact is he's good and is definitily part of the future of this entire business.I thought Orton was a joke before and it was stupid to keep someone around who has little regards for the rules. But I have notice that Orton has been improving in my opinion since this DX feud has started. His in ring skills have improved over the last few years, and in recent months, so has his mic skills. I think Orton is starting to slide even more into that main event slot and he is going to be a star for years to come. Like other people have stated, he is the youngest main eventer they have. No need to rush him. But I believe this year, if things continue to go the way they are, we will see Orton in the title picture and possibly winning the title.
Orton has terrible mic skills. I dont think he'll ever be a permanent main eventer.
