The reason why I believe he'd crash and burn as a face, is because characters have to be altered when people 'turn'.

In other words, Orton will not be able to portray himself as a 'cocky and holier-than-thou' type guy if he turns face.........just as Benoit can no longer play the 'rabid wolverine emotionless machine' gimmick that he had in 2000.

If the wheel ain't broke, why fix it? The fans like Orton the way he is now. The fans LOVE to HATE him.


In the future - I think Orton will have the potential to be a successful face. If you turn him right now however, it will be the equivalent of premature ejaculation.

Let Orton win respect as a heel first. Let's see where this leads. Just as Corporate Rock did........just as Triple H did as a part of the McMahon Helmsley faction, and just as Angle did when he first won the title in 2000.
