Battle of the Themes #14 - Randy Orton
 

"Survive If I Let You" barely came out on top, winning out by two votes for Taz.

The next BOTT is The Legend Killer, The Viper, "Vintage" Randy Orton!

Keep in mind that I am NOT including stable/team themes for singles, which is why stuff like Rated RKO and Evolution aren't here.

Actually, Voices wins. Fits him perfectly.

You know, I debated including that. Did he ever use that as an in-ring entrance?

I think he did briefly after coming back from injuries. I could be remembering things wrong.

He also used that Killswitch Engage song CM Punk now has made famous.

Voices with Burn in my Light a close second.

Definitely a tough pick, but Voices just barely edges out Burn in my Light.

Voices definitely.

I wanted to vote for the Evolution music, which he entered to for a long time. That was when he was best

Of the themes up there I am going with Burn In My Light, as much as I like Voices, Burn In My Light is one of my all time favorite themes. However, i voted other because his best theme was Line In The Sand-the Evolution theme.

One night.

BIML

I hated Burn in my Light. Terrible theme.

I cant vote for the song that always got mocked..

"HEY..RANDY ORTONS GAY!"

Voices is perfect for his character now, but my all time favorite was Burn in my Light.

I said other simply because he used "This Fire Burns" (CM punk's Theme)

This one although it would suit him better now than it did at the time he originally used it:

I used to fucking hate Voices with a passion when Orton first started using it, wishing he'd kept Burn In My Light. But damned if Voices hasn't grown on me, so that's what I went with in a near toss-up for me.

One of the few times I've been entertained by Cena.

...and while we're at it, for fans of the "Rated-R.K.O." tag team regime...

I've never heard a mashup theme that I didn't think was stupid.

Except Xpac and Kane's, but that was just Kane's intro into the DX music. None of the choppy editing.

Not even Dupree/Suzuki? That's widely regarded as one of the most seamless mash-ups, as far as transitions between the themes, and thus one of the best of all time.

Oh, well. To each their own, I guess.:-\

nuff said.


as for Orton, Voices.

gotta go with Burn in my Light

Voices

Would have voted for BIML had it been this version that was used:
