I miss the sparks though and the pose. I like his entrance music now, but I want that damn sparks back. It felt special and cool.

That's cute, I had a crush on Orton's ex wife when I was a kid.
I bet she could suck start a leaf blower

Bring back pyro WWE you cowards

Anyway getting back to Orton, my favourite feuds of his for me are funnily enough when he was a face in the WHC scene with Mark Henry and Christian (even though I prefer Orton as a heel).

They are even afraid to say 'bitch', I wouldn't say pyro is coming back anytime soon. WWE is more PG than HiHo kids.

My favorite one is probably vs John Cena. That was around the time I started watching wrestling and every their match from then kicks me with nostalgia, same thing with CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy.

You know as far as the respect for Orton goes...
just let me give you my own personal take on that.

Randy Orton was willing to put Jinder Mahal
over in 3 consecutive pay per view main events
for the WWE World title...

While Triple H would not even put Jinder over in
India at a house show.

?

He didn't just put Jinder over, he willingly let his wrestling persona look like a complete idiot by getting tricked by the "Singh distraction + Khallas" tactic

Don't know whether that makes me respect him more or less. Being a company man at-all-costs isn't good thing

True...but many, MANY WWE Performers are written/booked
to look like complete idiots...even the "Top Guys" from time
to time.

Even Roman had one of those moments when he literally
jumped into the back of an Ambulance in an Ambulance
match & lost like a moron.

Of course the WWE had to make him strong so he then
turned around & tried to MURDER his opponent...but I think
I'm the only guy who still remembers that.

I don't know. I can respect anyone with a strong sense of
loyalty...no matter their cause. At least it shows they care
& have a personal investment on something.

:idk3:

The Revival are NOT idiots #FTR

Hey at least there is still character consistency - Roman also yeeted himself into his car a few weeks ago, and it was hilarious

I know they aren't. They are one of the best tag teams
in wrestling today & I want to see them in AEW as heels
with Jim Cornette as their manager...

HOWEVER...

You cannot deny the WWE have booked them repeatedly
to look like idiots.

ey at least there is still character consistency - Roman also yeeted himself into his car a few weeks ago, and it was hilarious
HA!

Yeeted...

Wait...was that the car that magically "regenerated"
between commercial breaks on SDL? Talk about bad
continuity...

I was just making a joke about "Top Guys"

The car was on RAW but yeah. Instead of jumping to the side Roman jumped into his car that Rowan was clearly aiming for

Oh...right...

I knew that...

?

Oh...I heard the "regenerating" car was on SDL...

Sounds like they just need to keep Reigns away
from all cars in general.
