I can't stand how when everybody doesn't like somebody they throw everything, including the kitchen sink at the guy. People say Orton's mic skills suck, his in ring work sucks, his finisher looks weak, etc. Everybody says the same things about guys like HHH too, but frankly I don't think anyone actually looks at the real problem. Orton puts himself out there night after night and does a great job on the mic, he throws everything he's got into his matches and sells better than most. Saying that he sucks as a face doesn't make any sense...he's just playing the part that was given to him. I think he's playing that part to a T, just like the Rock played the part of Rocky Miavia to a T. It's not whether he sucks at it, but whether or not that particular gimmick is right for that person. The bookers thought that having the guy who RKOed everybody's old favorite wrestler at one time or another turn into an old school babyface was a brilliant idea, and everybody turns on the actor for it. Just because Star Wars Ep 1 sucked doesn't make Ewan McGregor a bad actor, and likewise, just because Orton's character sucks doesn't mean that Orton sucks. And don't nobody say nothing about his backstage antics because you all hated him for everything long before you knew that it was going on.
