The end result is that a ton of people are getting tired of him.
While this isn't a jab at Orton himself (Who I think is a great wrestler with a lot of potential), I wonder if this is really a wise way to go.

I agree with you Kane Knight. At this point Orton is being force fed to us. When he first came in, The WWE tried to get him over with the "Hi I'm a fresh-faced, all American, 3rd generation wrestler gimmick." What a shock, no one cared. When Randy messed up his shoulder, they decided to turn him heel. That's when you knew he was going to make it. His RNN promos were pretty decent and you could tell he had great potential as a heel. Then he joined evolution.
In evolution, Randy in a sense has been pushed as little Hunter. He gets a lot of extra air time that he shouldn't be having this early in his career and his feud with Mick Foley occurred to early as well. The feud with Mick Foley should have occurred as he was ready to move out of mid card range into the world title hunt. The only problem is that is hunter's territory. Now Randy is stuck in mid-card hell. A lot of people compare Randy Orton to the rock and this is true. His push and eventual take over of evolution should mirror the rock's career with the nation. But he is being pushed to hard and to fast, a la Brock and the fans know it and are already bored of it. We want to choose who we cheer for, or boo, not let someone else do it for us.
