His "cocky face" mannerisms and the way he'd get the crowd going despite having nothing at all to do character-wise was amazing. Especially near the end of the match when he'd start leading up toward the RKO.

You're not the only one. I was a huge mark for face Orton. His mannerisms, move set, and ability to sell like crazy for heels made him amazing, even when he wasn't doing anything. And, like you said, he controlled the crowd beautifully.
His recent booking has been shit. He's been made to look like a God damned fluke, who whines and bitched and complains and scrapes by. Is this the worst heel title run going into Mania since 2002 Y2J?
