That's kind of unfair. Orton was made into a main eventer following association with some of the biggest names in wrestling--Past and present. That kind of rub works no matter how much you suck. Not to mention, Orton would be pushed no matter what because of his pedigree.
Flip over to TNA, and they can't do that. They've got some legit stars they could use, but they're few and far between compared to the WWE castoffs. Part of the way you get guys over in pro wrestling (At least the mainstream stuff) is by having them work with guys who are already established. No matter how good you are, it's hard to become a household name otherwise. Not to mention the fact that every time I tune in to TNA, someone's speaking that really shouldn't. They need to focus on mic skills a lot more or something. Workrate's great when you're trying to pack gymansiums and shit, but if you've got a TV deal, you might want to try something a little extra.
