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..
