WWE Investigating Allegations of Sexual Harassments by Randy Orton

[Emperor Smeat]

WWE is looking into claims that Randy Orton inappropriately touched himself in years past when meeting new writers.

The allegations surfaced this week after a Reddit user revived a story told by Court Bauer during a 2012 edition of the MLW podcast (subscription needed). What follows is the transcription from that user:

"For every new writer that would show up, he come in the room, put his hand down his pants, pull out his d*ck, touch himself, then say "I'm Randy Orton, shake my hand. Oh, you dont want to shake my hand? You're big leaguing me? That's f**ked up man. Should I tell Vince and Steph you wont shake Randy Orton's hand?"

The story went on that during those incidents, writers would continue to feel uncomfortable as Orton cut a promo on them while remaining exposed.

WWE released a brief statement to F4WOnline.com that they are "looking into the matter."

Bauer said he avoided the situation as Stephanie McMahon walked into the room at the time Orton was reaching into his pants. Bauer said the story was true when asked on Twitter Friday, adding in a separate tweet that has "no qualms" with Orton.

The story that was told back in 2012 by Court Bauer on MLW podcast titled “Episode 49: Ribbing & Junk,” alleges that Orton would expose himself when he saw a new writer. The podcast is part of the MLW VIP archives but gained traction this week in a post on Reddit by user CarterVoorhes31.

I hope that the promo he cut while his dick was out was all about The Viper

[Seanny One Ball]

Orton definitely did this

[Seanny One Ball]

I wonder why a wrestling forum's spell check would prevent me writing Orton and replace it with Ortiz?

Probably innocent enough.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Uh oh.

[erickman]

guess randy will be taking time off, he will be eased out like jbl. I saw this coming after stories of him shiting in devas bags. sad 1st time in years randy giving good promos.

[Mr. Nerfect]

What's Randy Orton doing in the Tokyo Dome?!

[Mr. Nerfect]

If this is as legit as the Wellness Policy, Orton will be Universal Champion by Mania.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It'll be interesting to see if this is a come to the table moment for the parties, or whether they don't find "substantial evidence to validate these claims." The "right thing" from a PR perspective is probably for Orton to take some time away and come back and mea culpa Hulk Hogan style: "I didn't realize Court Bauer would get a podcast."

[Lock Jaw]

"I didn't realize not everyone likes to see my penis"

[Seanny One Ball]

WWE do not need another sex scandal after Moolah and the mid 90's thing.
Not in this climate.

Orton will be Benoit'd out if WWE find out there's any truth to it.
Once the cat is out of the bag publicly there is only ever one outcome now. It's different when they have a chance to kill the credibility beforehand but not with this.

Sounds like people saw the cat bolt a long time ago.

[Loose Cannon]

yep sounds completely like Randy Orton :lol:

[xrodmuc316]

Who cares, this is the company that literally has people kiss the owners bare ass. If these writers didn't expect this stuff, then they are stupid as shit.

[Bad News Gertner]

It's wresting. It's expected.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It was then, but they'll probably take a zero tolerance stance given the current political climate. They'll work with Orton on it. "I realize times have changed to the way the business used to work," etc. He'll handle it "well" and then take some time off to get out of the spotlight, rest up, spend some time with his family, then come back because it was just "the boys being the boys" back then. Full pay, keep him happy. But they've got to look "legit" in today's climate.

[Seanny One Ball]

Fucking amazing

[Seanny One Ball]

I knew there was a weird little sub-section of every community that just doesn't understand the real world at all but come off it. That's almost too perfect an example to be a legitimately held opinion.

[Emperor Smeat]

The "right thing" from a PR perspective is probably for Orton to take some time away and come back and mea culpa Hulk Hogan style: "I didn't realize Court Bauer would get a podcast."

And then proceeds to shake everyone's hands causing an awkward scene to develop just like with Hogan.

[Seanny One Ball]

Pat Patterson did this wearing an old Orton mask

[Sepholio]

"I'd shake my hand right now if I was you. People who don't tend to find surprises in their bags."

You can't be serious with this statement. This is very similar to victim blaming.

[Savio]

Wonder if he did this to Patrice O'Neal

[Seanny One Ball]

You can't be serious with this statement. This is very similar to victim blaming.



Pssst. Dave. It is victim blaming.

[xrodmuc316]

Lol no no, just my attempt at following up on Noids joke about how if WWE treats this like the wellness policy then Orton will be Universal Champion

Wrestling has always operated in a way that would never fly in any other company. This is a can of worms that the WWE doesn't need opening.

[erickman]

yeah there are stories of dusty holding meetings just wearing cowboy boots an nothing else. times have changed

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol. pro wrestling will never change.

[JimmyMess]

I would put my hand on my dick and do the same thing back and see if he is like "oh cool I guess that makes us dick bros"

[#1-norm-fan]

Sounds like a way better promo than anything on WWE TV.

[Theo]

Vintage Randy Orton. I wish some writer just hit him in the balls for that behavior.

[Tom Guycott]

"Sheeit... if it's gon' be that kinda party, I'mma stick my dick in the mashed potatoes!!!"

[Tom Guycott]

Just had a thought: what if that was the real reason behind slagging off Ken Kennedy and derailing Kofi Kingston's push?

"They wouldn't grab my cock-hand, so I don't trust them in the ring!"

[screech]

I am 100p willing to believe this.

[Gerard]

[slik]

Dickplex into an RKO (almost 3D like) called "The Double Dutch Rudder"

[Emperor Smeat]

New allegations against Orton recently surfaced and two other former writers hinted the stuff about Orton pulling out his wiener before shaking hands are true.

In an update, comments made by former WWE Superstar Ken Anderson in a 2017 YouShoot interview have surfaced this week. Anderson also accused Orton of inappropriate action.

"One time I was in the locker room. Everyone had left the building and it was just Randy Orton and I in the locker room," Anderson said. "He was naked and he had just come out of the shower or something and he was naked. I remember my boots were sitting there and he kept dipping his cock into my boot. I was like, 'What are you doing?' He was like, '*ding*' - just dipping his balls and his cock into my boot. He used to do stuff like this and we'd be riding in the car and I'd be like, 'Randy, there's no one else around to find that funny.'"

Former WWE creative writer Kevin Eck addressed the reports on Orton's behavior in a new Sporting News column and said he always avoided a handshake from Orton. Eck wrote:

I don't have any comment on the recent stories about Orton's backstage behavior other than to say that I always avoided shaking hands with him during my time on the WWE creative team ...

Actor Freddie Prinze Jr., who also worked on the WWE creative team a few years back, was asked if he ever shook hands with Orton. Freddie replied:

Hell no!

That reminds me of a story Brian Kendrick told about trying to piss on Cena from a balcony and Cena was just like "Hi Brian" or something.

Somehow, I get the feeling that Bill Demott is somewhere waiting to use this as an opportunity to get a job back. "Why can he get away with this and not me?" type shit.

Fox News has picked up the Orton story:

[slik]

Brad Shepard reported on his podcast that Orton had a meeting w/ WWE executives backstage before SDLive about the incidents -- he also said don't expect anything to come from the meeting until after SummerSlam, as Vince considers SummerSlam the #2 show of the year -- but it was hinted at that Vince was not happy with the timing BECAUSE he considers SummerSlam the #2 show of the year and Orton might "Feel Vince's wrath" as a result.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol it just seems a lot of the people talking about this view it as more of a " :wtf: " situation than anything awful. Like "Oh that's just our Randy!" Not saying if it's right or wrong, just how it's coming off.

WWE is like "Yeah we'll investigate it! :lol: "

Orton seems a little crazy, I would know. I think he might hear...voices.

One time I put a medical prop of a penis through my pants, walked up to another sailor's desk (we were in training) and woke him up by gently stroking his hair.

Cock and cock connection?

[Emperor Smeat]

Chances of WWE actually punishing Orton for these allegations is very likely slim to none based on recent backstage antics by Orton.

Not only was he openly making jokes about the situation, others backstage were also involved in the joking around.

Randy Orton apparently joked about some of the recent allegations against him during the dark main event at Tuesday's WWE TV tapings in Greenville, South Carolina ...

Orton approached some of the WWE staffers at ringside before the match and offered his hand for a shake, shaking the hand of one guy while laughing. The whole group then broke out in laughter.

This appeared to be a crack at the recent sexual harassment allegations against the WWE veteran. Former WWE writer Court Bauer noted in an older MLW Podcast that Orton would greet new WWE creative writers by putting his hand down his pants, pulling out his penis, touching himself and then introducing himself ...

Those allegations recently resurfaced on Reddit and were picked up by mainstream media outlets. WWE responded to media inquires and noted that they were looking into the matter but it's believed that there will be no action taken. The reaction from Orton and the WWE crew members could be a sign of how the allegations are being looked at within the company.
