Randy Orton absence
 

Is it just me, or is Randy Orton's absence is even more terrible to the WWE?

Not that I'm saying that he made the product look like gold, but at least he did something interesting everytime he was around. Now without him, there's nothing really interesting on the show anymore. The last two Raw shows were terrible. Even for a kindergarten level it was terrible.

He's probably the one who ought to be feuding with Brock now, as a face after turning on the Authority.

Slightly OT but I just saw New Years eve Raw, was I the only one who got the impression Brock wasnt happy being there.

Almost like he might turn on Heyman and the Authority post title loss if hes got more dates on his contract?

They didn't seem to have him do alot either. Wasted money.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Or something

The last Raw was really fucking good, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I do look forward to Randy's return, but he really HADN'T been doing anything interesting until he started butting heads with Seth Rollins (who just may be the MVP of WWE right now).

I love how Orton left on a high note. His absence from the current product will only keep him "fresh" for his storyline heading into Wrestlemania.

He'll get a huge pop at Royal Rumble.

He'll RKO (out of nowhere) Reigns out of the Rumble because he's clearly not ready for the WWE World Heavyweight title.

I agree every Raw without an RKO is disappointing

I know right? Three hours and not a single RKO? Are you fucking serious?

What's he been doing in real life? Did he get injured, was he filming something or do wrestlers just get scheduled breaks now as part of the WWE being less carnie?

Wwe needs Orton back. Especially since the authority is back. They need that top heel

Post about the topic of the thread or don't post at all. Thanks.

Bring him back as a babyface to feud with Cesaro in a similar position to his excellent Christian feud a few years back.

That's dumber than the idiots who think Goldberg is coming back. Even if he did I wouldn't care. He's a bigger star now than when he actually wrestled. Proves he sucks.

Wait this isn't the "Randy Orton ASCII fan art" thread?!

Also did we just see the first ever Clerk-o "outta nowhere"?!

I'm not really pumped about Orton, but he'll be useful as a face. I'm not sure who he faces at WrestleMania, honestly. If they can't get The Rock for my dream match against Bray Wyatt, then Orton vs. Wyatt might be the most obvious program they could run.
