I get it, you don't like Orton. That doesn't mean he "can't play a face" because he can't be a kiss ass. Not everyone can play that character and get people to actually like it (rather than just mindlessly cheer because that person is feuding with a heel).


FFS, his first feud was against Triple H when Evolution turned on him. He had all the sympathy in the world, but he couldn't make it work because he fucking sucks on the mic and is mediocre in the ring. Randy Orton's gimmick wasn't a kissass. He was a face. Faces can't tell the fans to go fuck themselves. They just have to modify their style to be more "fan friendly". Orton couldn't do it. He was World Heavyweight Champion, he should be able to do whatever it takes to get over. I will give you this, Randy Orton can do the whole "slow evil walk, slow evil glare, slow evil smirk, GRRR ANGRY SMASH IED" gimmick better than anybody.
