I don't like the idea of bringing back legends to feed Orton. The legend killer is a good gimmick but it shouldn't be the central aspect of his character. If he continues to only face legends then it alienates him from the rest of the roster. Also if you are bringind in all of those old wrestlers to fight for the IC title you are taking away the belts credibility and hurting the wrestlers who actually deserve it. Plus its been proven that bringing back old wrestlers doesn't do much for ratings.

I would get Orton over by having him take out HHH, thus also helping HHH who needs a character change. HHH loses the title at Wrestlemania. Next night on Raw Orton takes out Triple H and takes control of Evolution. He'll give a whole bit about how only the strongest survive in the WWE and how Triple H is no longer the strongest. Orton is now the leader of Evolution with Batista and possibly Flair. At Backlash you could either have Orton vs Foley or Orton vs Flair where Orton goes over in either case.

I don't know when Triple H is due back from filming his movie but Orton would have fueds with Jericho and possibly Benoit depending on how long HHH is out for.

Eventually HHH comes back, costs Orton the IC belt and gets into a fued with him. From there he can go into a fued with Benoit for the title.
