During nearly all of Shawn Michaels' second run, he was used as an old guy ultimately meant to put the younger guys over. I remember thinking it made sense at first but after 8 years it was like "Wait, this guy has been the best performer in the company for almost a decade now. He could have actually had a serious run as "the man" alongside Cena instead of just being used to put others over."
That's how I feel about Orton at this point. They've spent so much time over the past decade using him like a 50 year old Ric Flair who has nothing to offer anymore but name value to put others over with. All while pissing away the prime of a legit A+ player. Makes no sense.
