The thing I LOVE most about Randy Orton, is that his 'legend killer' gimmick has so much potential. As over as this guy is right now, he can still be like 10x more over. He already has victories over Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, and Sgt. Slaughter, but this guy can also score future victories over legends Ric Flair, Triple H, Undertaker (especially if Orton "retired" Undertaker), Steve Austin (Austin's last match ever), and The Rock (one on one). Even guys like Hogan, Goldberg, and Lesnar can be brought in for "one last match". Ditto for Kurt Angle.

Orton LITERALLY could become a "legend killer"......and become absolutely HATED amongst fans (which would then turn to outright LOVE in the distant future).


Bottom line? Orton's gimmick can further grow.


The WWE has also done a great job in making Orton look "special"....which means a LOT in the WWE nowadays......when you consider the fanbase. In this day and age, it can be VERY tough for the fans to get behind a guy who's been in the mid-cards for too long (as we are seeing with Edge now.....and saw with Test and Val Venis not too long ago).
