Orton becoming bigger than Evolution
He was way, way over as a cocky heel; the Intercontinental Champion and the prodigy of The Game himself. The turn was going to be tremendous, and the match at WrestleMania could very well have had that underdog feel that we hadn't seen in a main event in a long time. Orton vs. HHH had a lot of promise.
Then, they went and pulled the pin before unhitching the grenade and blew the whole thing to shit. Orton won the World Title and turned face WAY too early, and the Orton/HHH match was done on a low profile PPV, RAW, and again at the Royal Rumble. Today, less than five weeks away from WrestleMania XXI, Orton has no real feud and is playing a concussion angle (the equivalent of cheap heel heat for a face).
Fuck up? Oh yeah.
