Men on a Mission, Rikishi Fatu's first stint, Road Dogg and K-Kwik(Crush, whatever), and Grand Master Sexay & Scotty Two Hotty just to name a few have all sucked. Cena has over come some huge obstiacals while Orton has been paired with Ric Flair and HHH, two of the biggest names, and has had fueds with some of the biggest names, and still only draws just mid-carder, I'm suppose to boo him so I am going to, heat.

So it is completely unfair to judge Orton and Cena. Orton has been manufactured and shoved down our throats while Cena made himself and is arguable the biggest (or second biggest) draw of Smackdown (he is defenatly the Rob Van Dam of Smackdown........well the way RVD was to ECW, not how he is in Smackdown, because RVD would then be the RVD or Smackdown, you know what I mean).
In my opinion, Cena's just living off of cheap heat, pandering to the crowd, and doing the same pop signatures every time. He needs to tone down the gimmick, and get more serious, IE: not rapping every time he's out.

I prefer Orton.

- He's a great seller. In the Venis/Orton matchup a few weeks back, he sold his knee like death, and then used that to hit the RKO out of nowhere.
- He's got a ton of mannerisms down. He's Randy Orton, not anyone else, and you know it. Unlike some people like Shelton Benjamin, he's got a pretty good character.

He's 23. He's a bit loose and sloppy in the ring with regards to his offense. When he turns face, that won't matter as much, because the face contributes less offense overall.
