In terms of pure talent, Orton legit might be one of the best wrestlers in the world. Everything he does is incredibly smooth, incredibly crisp, and incredibly well-timed. The way he allows a crowd's reaction to build, and then dissipate, only to allow it to start building again, rather than rushing from spot to spot, is almost unique in this generation.
Yet, in spite of all that, he also manages to be an incredibly bland, uninspiring performer so often. Maybe that's "work ethic", maybe it's him not necessarily always getting angles he can get his teeth in to, or maybe it's that when you've been on TV every week for 15 years with limited opportunity or impetus to evolve your character, people will get bored.
