If this link disappears, I'll reup it elsewhere.

Randy Orton speaks pretty candidly on a lot of subjects including John Cena (LOL @ what he says here), the way WWE is being booked now, ditto for ECW, and gives a tiny little hint as to his suspension. This came from the UK Sun.

[Kane Knight]

Doesn't every girl [want you]?
Randy: No, not every girl...

...Geeee, you harrass them until they quit, and they still don't want you?

[Pepsi Man]

:D @ the Lex Luger comments.

[Sadistic]

On Cena:
"He's a very talented guy......I just wish he could wrestle."


lol. Good interview.

[Stickman]

anybody want to post the transcript?

[Gray]

Hm, the interviewers sound like JK and Jol from the RadioOne station

Funny guys, woo

This isn't from a site, I just typed it up as I listened.

Randy Orton Interview

-Starts out hitting on (jokingly) a female host in the background. He likes brunettes.

-During his 60 day suspension, he went to anger management in Atlanta.

-Was a bit disappointed in the ONS match with Kurt. Kurt was a little to “amped up” (I forget how he worded it, but it was a logical explanation), however he loved the fans.

-Says HBK is balding and HHH is fat. Jokingly says, “I should be in the new DX if you ask me.” Anyways, he feels HBK and HHH are great performers for their ages.

-Says his title win was too much too soon.

-Calls Harry Smith “phenomenal”, but he is currently lacking things.

-Since he’s came back as a “new man”, he’s had some talks with Vince, and they have lots of plans for him in the future. Lots of guys his age haven’t grasped psychology and storytelling yet.

-“When do you think HHH and HBK should allow younger guys at the top?”… “Last week”. He was mainly joking around there though. HHH taught him a lot. Says they need HHH and HBK still there to be there as mentors for guys like the Spirit Squad.

-Learned a lot from the Evolution members outside the ring.

-Was GLAD that he was “Randy Orton, 3rd Gen. Superstar” and got to be himself. Says gimmicks are good for low/mid cards. To be a main eventer, you gotta be yourself. He mentions Lashley here too.

-Wants to do a storyline with Hogan. Wants to be the “bad boy” that Brooke fell in love with.

-Responds to Luger’s WWE thoughts (Cena is a joke, Rey has the title because Eddie died, and Orton is a joke). Some key things we said were: Well, Lex Luger isn’t really known for being…uh…talented…whatsoever. He had a body, but that’s it. He called Luger the epitome of the “shits”.

-Calls the Undertaker the best today. He’s not wrestling full time, but never saw such a loud crowd whenever his music hit. 10x louder for everyone else. He draws/sells tickets and packs arenas. He liked his year long program with him.

-He calls Kenny Doane a “skinny cheerleader” but they need to change his gimmick if Doane goes anywhere. Right now, no one would buy one Spirit Squad guy against a Shawn Michaels or a HHH…they need all five. They need to fix that he thinks. Says Doane is the most talented.

-Orton calls Rey one of his best friends in the business. Had some of his most favorite matches with Mysteiro. Doesn’t know WHAT they are doing with Rey’s booking. Example, how he would do it: Khali beats up Rey for a while, but because he’s the Champ they can’t have him lose to these guys…so Rey makes the underdog comeback for the win.

-Says Smackdown is suffering but Batista is turning things around.

-Henry was a low/midcarder, now he’s randomly being put into the main event. Fans perceive him as a midcarder, so it’s weird seeing Henry main eventing every show.

-Isn’t sure if they will cancel Smackdown. If ECW takes off, he thinks the Smackdown roster would be divided up…some to RAW, some to ECW. But you can’t take random WWE guys and throw it into ECW and mess up the history of the company.

-RAW is always going to be Vince’s “baby”. You got Hunter.

-Was asked to tell them why a non-wrestling fan would want to buy Vengeance. He says there’s going to be a variety of things happening, him/Angle...this question was stupid and went nowhere.

-Asked about thoughts on Cena’s face/heel/face/etc. reactions. At ECW they chanted “Same old shit!”…well, that’s because he does…the same old shit. The girls/younger crowd are huge Cena fans…he must have made a billion dollars last year in merchandise. He says Cena is one of those guys that will always have charisma. Says that on a road trip with him Cena would freestyle nonstop about random things they passed (signs, restaurants, etc.). Very talented, but wishes he was a better wrestler.

-Wants to work with Batista, Kurt Angle, HHH (HHH as a face, Orton as a heel this time), Cena, and he loved working with Eddie, even though he barely did.

-Says, he believes he’s a good seller and good at getting his ass kicked.

-Hosts say that Orton is the best at doing the “glazed eyes, don’t know where I am” thing. Kinda like Lesnar at the end of WrestleMania 19 (only that was for real). He did this at Rumble 2005 against HHH, and everyone in the locker room bought it.

-Been knocked out twice and has had six concussions total.

[Schoenauer]

He didn't say anything about Doug Basham though?

[Corkscrewed]

You know, he comes off as a pretty good guy in that interview and makes some solid points that I agree with.

Hopefully, he really has turned the corner and seen what a fool he was, and will now step forward with the better foot and be a better person.

[St. Jimmy]

Orton calling Luger "Shits." - Priceless.

[James Steele]

:lol:

I give Orton credit for making some funny remarks and valid points wrapped in sarcasm, but he has no place saying anybody can't wrestle.
