His failure to get over wasn't completely his fault, though. Orton can't be bought as a face who panders to the fans or ducks and runs from the big bad heels. That's not his fault. Had he been given a face persona more fitting (like wanting to take down Evolution rather than trying to "outsmart The Game," for example) the results probably would have been different.
Every guy won't work as the same type of character (an issue in WWE with many faces lately). Is that the talent's fault? To a degree, yes. But the characters could be molded to fit the worker and the angle. This would be better than just trying the same mold with different guys, hoping it will work one of these times, to maximize potential.
