Who would you want to jump ship?

I'm skeptical as to whether he'll be as big as Randy, perhaps if he had a similar story-line to Punk he could pull it off and become huge. But I can't see any face reactions as loud as Orton personally, that takes years.

It would completely depend on his motivation and booking but he's one of the most well known indie / TNA talents in the world if the chose a run of a few smark cities and left the casuals grow towards him it's possible.

It's possible no doubt, but it's unlikely in my opinion. He'd need to lose a lot of weight, well, basically like you said, he'd need to be highly motivated. New York & Chicago might give him a good reception, could add most of Canada to that maybe, but he'll definitely need the perfect push. Something big, which WWE don't tend to do very often.

He's got backing from Cena and Punk so it seems if anyone were to get the big push it could well be him. He'd probably be really over in Philly also since that's were ROH ran alot of their early shows.

That may be true @[seabs], but Kayfabe has put Orton through every possible situation you could think of. While Joe's wrestling ability could surpass Orton in a year or two, Joe will never be a big as Orton any time soon, or quite possibly ever.

Now AJ Styles for example, I could see him becoming as big as Orton, quite possibly even bigger... But he would need to come to WWE, and have Kayfabe put him in A LOT of stuff to make him as mainstream as Orton. Let's face it though, Styles is phenominal either way, but Orton is legend. I just wish Orton had the same size fan base as John Cena..
