I'd rather Orton stay face too as I think he's the only guy other than Cena who is "that kind of over". Like the kind of over where it seems like he's been a top guy forever. He has a link to Hogan, Taker, Triple H, HBK, Ric Flair. Who else on the roster can say that? He's got that "old school" feel to him because of it and because he's not an old man himself, he should be treated as THE guy as far as Smackdown goes at least but I think the two strikes make them a little apprehensive to do that at the moment.

The thing is apparently Orton hates being a face. So... I don't know. I guess you gotta keep the man happy. For my money, no one in the company can match Orton as far as that old school wrestling in-ring psychology. Face or heel, I wish he were a staple in the World Title picture.
