Very dead crowd for Orton?

[Stopspot]

So I noticed this last night during RAW and after rewatching the segment it seems my ears weren't playing tricks on me. I sat through it with both headphones and speakers to double check and the crowd was surprisingly silent for Orton. And he tends to be popular in Cali. It wasn't that they booed him or anything like that. It seemed to be mostly just silence.

Was I the only one who noticed this?

 

[Testify]

Bore-ton.

 

[Shadie T]

I noticed it, Maybe the casuals dont know what to think, Maybe they are still on edge with him.

 

[Swift]

Well his promo was pretty shit. There was nothing to it. Nothing to cheer or jeer.

 

[CM Punk]

Yeah. Have fucking character Orton for fucks sake.

 

[CrayJ Lee]

I noticed that as well. He seemed to be very over as a face but the crowd wasn't into him last night. I wonder if that's the reaction he'll get in other venues since the crowd overall seemed very energetic and involved during last night's Raw.

 

[Senhor Perfect]

Crowd was way more silent during the Miz's entrance and match. Warmed my heart. :happy:

 

[Nano]

Meh, not impressed tbh. It's Randy fucking Orton, but when something is boring you go to sleep.

I took the silence as a good thing when he was making his entrance. They weren't cheering for him, which was a good sign. But that was when he was coming to the ring. I forgot the reaction he got when he was talking, but he only spoke for a small bit so it's hard to judge. It could be that the main heat has been transferred to HHH and the McMahons, and meanwhile the fans, who previously loved Orton, still don't know what to think (as someone mentioned.) I wouldn't take it as a bad sign just yet.

 

[Mr. Perfect]

Most people aren't sure what to think of Orton right now.

Give him time to get more corporate, give him time to kiss more HHH ass....the boos will come, I'm sure.

 

[Crayo]

I think you're overreacting. It'll take time for this mega over face to sink into his new corporate role. Plus, there was a lot of booing/cheering prior to that. Heat will come for Orton.

 

[Hannah Bee]

I think that the mentality of the people is that "Hey, HHH screwed over Daniel!", not Orton. Personally, I can't even feel the heel turn because of the mentality. "Orton just did what he did - he took advantage"

 

[Apoho Creed]

I think people are still on the fence what to think about Orton going heel, so eventually Orton will get the full boos in this feud, especially if he starts letting others fight his own battle for him.

 

[TKK]

The dead was pretty dead for him until he said that they should stand up and applaud Triple H. That was the only thing he said all night that was really worth booing. Plus, he finished with RKOing Bryan so I'm sure that he'll be getting booed next week and in the week's coming now that he's emphatically sealed the heel turn.

How do you blow your chance? You've been begging for this moment for 3.5 years and THAT'S the ammo you had in your tank?

Thank you for being Uninspired...thank you for being Uncool... thank you for Unfunny

You're the only dude in wrestling right now, wearing a beard that deserves that Triple U
