Yeah, I know he is a legit 3rd generation or whatever. All I'm saying is that WWE has shamelessly promoted him as then next Rocky Miavia. So with Orton already being associated with the Rock, as in terms of how he has been pushed, when ever he uses Rock style mannerism, it makes him look even more like a cheap rip off of the Rock.
I say a cheap rip off because everything Orton has done is forced, while with the Rock, it just came to be, here let me show you:
Rock first came to WWE with a bright shining smile, and a pinapple for hair, and they call him the blue chipper or something gay like that. He constantly smiled and was suppose to be a babyface, but the fans booed him for it.
Orton first came to WWE being proclaimed as the next Rock. They had him act like the Rock did when Rocky first came in, Orton was smiling bright, but they were trying to recapture the way the fans reacted to the Rock with Orton, and you could smell it on him.
Rocky then turned heel, joined up with the Nation of Domination, and began cutting some good promos.
Orton kinda turned heel, only kinda because he already was one, acting like a face. And joined Evolution and started cutting rather crappy promos.
Rocky quickly took over the Nation, ousting Faaruq and has tremenous fueds with Stone Cold, HHH, and Mick Foley, and a decent one with Billy Gunn. Making or helping solidify legends out of everyone in the fued, except Billy Gunn, cause Billy Gunn sucks.
Orton has like 2 month fueds with Mick Foley, Stone Cold, and HBK, all way past there primes, and to be honest, hasn't really made anyone a legend, just made them look old. Then Orton beats Beniot, and is kicked out of Evolution, which is where Orton and Rock's pushes really start to differ.
See, because of all of those parrells between Orton and Rock, and the fake that Orton has been called the next Rock by WWE, that is why I point out that when Orton raises and eyebrow, he is a cheap rip off of the Rock. If anyone else was to do it, they would just be raising an eyebrow. It would have been like if when Goldberg came out, and started giving people the stunner, and drinking beer, and flipping off J.J. Dillion, I would have said he was a complete poor man's rip off of Stone Cold. But Goldberg didn't, he just had kinda the same look, but none of the same mannorism. But Orton has been given a forced Rock treatment, and since he has Rock's mannerisms, you get my point.
