The sense among some is that Orton isn't ready to be the man. Personally, I don't agree. My question though: What the hell is with the bi-polar booking?
I mean, I do think there is an element of shitty booking here to be considered. The way the feud was set up, if face HHH won, it concludes the feud and he has avenged his family, which he casual fan would like to see.
If Orton won, the bad guy goes over and a star is born. The downside is that for a PG audiance, it probably sends the wrong message and leaves the casual fan with a bad taste in their mouth.
In hindsight, I think half assed booking is the second biggest issue for me. (The overall treatment of Orton in the match being number 1) They wanted to make Orton a star but left him heel, which from a storyline point hindered what they were trying to do. As is, I think we all agree that Orton going over made the most sense, but once again, the E got in their own way.
