I'm not sure how I feel about this. We haven't really seen him in an authoritarian gimmick/role yet and he's not enough of a "legend/veteran" (Rock, Austin, HBK, HHH) for me to necessarily buy him as having "earned" the GM spot. Although you could say Regal was even less so, and I ended buying him and loving him as GM. Orton's done great as a psycho-bad-ass heel/tweener though and maybe he could pull it off and be amazing like Regal.
