Very good thread.
A couple of things:
1. It seems like HHH is the only heel that is not a big man that is allowed to be 'dominant'. I don't have a problem with HHH being a dominant heel, but why can't other people be dominant? Bearing in mind that Orton was white hot since his return and looked to be 'dominant', why did he suddenly change character into a chickenshit? How come Edge can be treated as a big deal and he's supposedly a chickenshit?
2. I would have preferred Orton to win it, seeing as HHH has reached his peak and can no longer draw in 'new crowds', like other people have said. But if Orton were to lose, I believe he should have had a stronger showing, something more even perhaps.
3. Orton's career certainly isn't over, but I feel its unfair for people to say that he hasn't made the best of what he's given. In most of his bigger feuds, he's walked out of it the loser. Anytime he walked out the winner, he was 'catching on'. Maybe I'm saying something blatantly obvious...
4. I truly don't believe Orton coming out of nowhere to punt someone and steal their win win in an 'undercard' title match makes him. If last Wrestlemania's victory made him, then it's an underwhelming existence.
