Orton "Berates" Fans

Randy Orton Berates Raw Fans During Airport Incident

Randy Orton berated WWE fans who had gathered at the airport in Albany, New York last night. PWInsider reports that Orton “berated” the fans for bothering the crew after they had just returned to America from Europe. Understandably, Orton was grouchy after a long flight.

The fans had gathered ahead of Raw in Albany. It was said to be a large group at the airport, determined to get photos and autographs. The rights and wrongs of this are complicated. WWE superstars often do stop to sign autographs and take photographs. Indeed, Orton himself was pictured signing autographs when he landed in Glasgow, Scotland a week and a half ago. On that happier occasion, he’d also just been on a long flight.

But right now the WWE crew are tired. They’ve been on tour for eleven straight days and there’s little rest involved. Orton was within his rights to ask for some personal respect on this occasion. Then again, with his legendary temper, it is possible that he went too far. It is never too good to hear that a wrestler has “berated” the fans.

Orton will hopefully be in a better mood ahead of tonight’s Raw, with his role likely to be important in making a final push towards Extreme Rules this Sunday. His main event match with Seth Rollins will be for the WWE Title and take place inside a steel cage. Both men have been wowing the crowds on the European tour and this Sunday should be another fantastic encounter.

Never been on a flight longer than 3 hours so don't know what it is like but I do know what it is like to be tired so yh what do they expect.

Long Haul flights aren't great. I can get why he'd be pissed, but it's not like he's new to being recognised.

Sorry I have just been staring at your Sig.

I get that there's instances where people just simply want to be left alone. But orton is a public figure. That's what he signed up for. Now if fans are being assholes and yelling and mocking him or others, then I get the frustration. However, he makes his living from these fans that he treated like shit.

Never forget the people that gave you all that you have. Without the fans, he has nothing.

Dude is a human being. 11 straight days, long flight, this kind of bullshit will happen. Remember people, it isn't what you say, it's how you say it.

Had this been the Orton of old he would probably have shat in someone's bag straight off the bagage line out of principle alone.

But I can fully understand a person being on a short fuse after a very long flight and eleven straight days on the road. The life of a wrestler is a hard one.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Not gonna judge him, it's understandable.

Fans need to be more considerate, bothering anyone right after they get off a flight is disrespectful.. It shouldn't matter if they're a wrestler or someone you're a fan of. Let them get on with their lives, they're busy people.

Not sure what Orton said but it's good one talent told them exactly how rude they were being.

THIS GUY IS MORE OF A REBEL THAN PUNK

 

[The GOAT]

Completely understandable reaction on his part. Some folks forget that celebrities are only human and sometimes want to just be left to their own devices, especially someone like Orton who had just endured a long and rigorous tour/trip to, through, and back from Europe.

They're still human. Hell, I get annoyed when people talk to me when I'm tired.
Also WWE gave him all he has, not the fans. lol
