I didn't realize this was such a popular thing. Funny stuff.

[Z.T.O]

Orton face? Never again, please.

 

[Tgmiveld]

orton as a face would work, if the suits got behind it

 

[Z.T.O]

@Tgmiveld If possible I want the 'psychopath' back from 2008-2009.

Spoiler

0:53 - 1:37 I miss when he stands in the rope and look at camera with evil face, no pose. Absolutely badass!

 

[Tgmiveld]

best run in wrestling history

they ruined lives and cost jobs by messing up.wrestling died a little when they fucked up

They've already began planting the seeds for his face turn on Raw. Even though this is just a flash-in-the-pan internet meme, it can't hurt since they're already heading in that direction.

It's been evident for awhile that Orton would be better off as a babyface again. This latest heel run has gotten him very little heat from the audience, whereas he was one of the most popular faces on the show from 2010-2013 (lol @ the article saying "the RKO Vines did something that the WWE couldn’t possibly do, and that is getting Randy Orton over as a face throughout the entire world.") And he's running out of interesting babyface opponents to wrestle anyway, whereas as a face he could work a good number of programs with people. Brock Lesnar? Bray Wyatt? Seth Rollins? This whole angle they've been doing recently with Cena and Ambrose both trying to get to Seth first would have worked even better with Orton and Ambrose since both guys are a bit unhinged and seeing them threaten one another would have been entertaining.

So how much you willing to bet Orton turns face on Rollins?

Everything. I'm even willing to bet that he'll be one officially by TLC.

Survivor Series next month is in St. Louis, Missouri, which also happens to be the place where Orton is billed from (in reality, he lives in St. Charles, Missouri the last I checked, but that still makes Missouri his home state.) So I'm predicting he either turns face before then so that he can work Survivor Series as a babyface, or that he turns face AT Survivor Series. Perhaps they have a traditional Survivor Series elimination match, and Orton leaves Rollins behind to get dismantled by his opponents one after another (Cena, Ambrose and Reigns, possibly), and then after the match is over, Orton returns to the ring and hits the RKO on a recovering Seth Rollins, which is his official "Fuck You" to The Authority.

lol "last time I checked" -- how often do you check where Randy Orton lives?

That's what you decided to harp on out of my entire post? ity2:

The answer to the question, of course, is "Almost never." Wrestlers have been known to relocate to different cities or states, however, and where Orton currently resides was at least somewhat crucial to the point I was making.

True, it is only wrestlers who move house. ity:
