I am thrilled to finally see Randy Orton having all this momentum behind him. I have been an Orton fan since the days of his arm injury back in '03/04. What the hell was that called again? His TV thing? I can't remember for the life of me. He was pushed to the moon so quickly, but soon afterwards began a career of inconsistency. He would grab a title here, grab a big win there, but then would lose a big match and seemed to wander without any direction at times. And yea, his backstage bullshit probably didn't sit well with the higherups and that's why his career has been like today's stock market. But I actually think his habits backstage might have won offer a few people here in there because what you see is what you get with Orton. He really is the same guy behind the curtain that you see on camera.

But for me, the last few weeks just watching Orton being protected and allowing him to go all out has been amazing. I was worried that one week when Shane comes in and beats the crap out of Legacy in like 3 minutes. But Orton cut a great promo the next week explaining why he let Shane hit him. And then this past week with the amazing RKO on Steph. Holy shit, that was a mark out moment for me. I loved his reactions right before he delivered the move. Orton has got tremendous body motions and can act with his eyes, which adds a lot to the character.

Now we get to see the HHH/Orton feud that everyone wanted to see. I was dreaming over Orton as the heel and HHH as the babyface back in 2004, but it never played out that way.

But I think you guys are right. I don't know how Orton is going to get booed here. He's going against The bosses son in law. And he's been the cool heel character for a while now. I hope they do not turn Orton or Legacy into babyfaces just yet, but I could definately see it happening down the line.

I think this is the best Randy Orton has been since 2004 and hopefully they keep running with it.
