Maybe the WWE lacks faith in Randy Orton?
I dunno. The way he's being force fed to us, is kinda like saying "We think he's awesome, but we're afraid you won't figure out how awesome he is."

The end result is that a ton of people are getting tired of him.

While this isn't a jab at Orton himself (Who I think is a great wrestler with a lot of potential), I wonder if this is really a wise way to go.

Okay, so gimme your thoughts, flames, and opinions.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

Orton's okay, and your right he's getting annoying real quick. I've gotten to the point that I change the channel when he comes on TV.

Give me either Hardy anyday.

But (as I've said before) you're a Hardy fan so your opinion on talent doesn't mean anything to me.

Anyway, I agree with KK.

So what if I'm a Hardy Fan. My opinion are just as good as the next person who isn't. I have thoughts and I know what I like and dislike, and right now, I don't like Randy Ortan. They could put anyone in his postion, (Including my Idol, Jeff Hardy ) At that bit would be BORING!!!!!

Peace,

This life and the next.

Orton is coming off his huge Foley feud, and before that the thing most peopel who criticized him said was that he drew off of his oponent's heat. Now that he's in a program with Edge he doesn't seem as interesting. Maybe because Edge hasn't been as interesting since his return. Or maybe Randy just can't draw real heat yet.

Either way, this is just a lull. Sometime before the end of the year he'll turn on Flair or Trips and he'll once again be one of the focus' of the show and we'll get another huge serving of Legend Killer propaganda.

He's got pretty good mic skills and okay wrestling ability, but WWE needs to do two things: 1. Stop cramming the guy down fan's throats, and 2. Give him a more devastating, and creative finisher.

See, I'd kind of like to see his own ability take over.

I just don't see it happening.

What a great arguement you make with your horrible spelling and even worse grammar... And not to mention that the RKO and the Diamond Cutter are the SAME MOVE.

What?

The RKO is the same as the Diamond Cutter?

YOU'RE KIDDING!

Next thing you'll say is that Rob Van Dam and Eddie Guerrero use the same finisher.

I'd say that's a pretty important thing. I appreciate them pushing someone under 40, but the guy's still kinda green for all the hype. It's not as bad as if they pushed Nathan Jones as the world's greatest technical wrestler, but it's still pretty bad to see that happen.

I agree with you Kane Knight. At this point Orton is being force fed to us. When he first came in, The WWE tried to get him over with the "Hi I'm a fresh-faced, all American, 3rd generation wrestler gimmick." What a shock, no one cared. When Randy messed up his shoulder, they decided to turn him heel. That's when you knew he was going to make it. His RNN promos were pretty decent and you could tell he had great potential as a heel. Then he joined evolution.

In evolution, Randy in a sense has been pushed as little Hunter. He gets a lot of extra air time that he shouldn't be having this early in his career and his feud with Mick Foley occurred to early as well. The feud with Mick Foley should have occurred as he was ready to move out of mid card range into the world title hunt. The only problem is that is hunter's territory. Now Randy is stuck in mid-card hell. A lot of people compare Randy Orton to the rock and this is true. His push and eventual take over of evolution should mirror the rock's career with the nation. But he is being pushed to hard and to fast, a la Brock and the fans know it and are already bored of it. We want to choose who we cheer for, or boo, not let someone else do it for us.

Randy Orton is only 23 and has a long career a head of him. He reminds me so much of The Rock from back in his Nation days as Bricktop mentioned. A young star ready to explode into the main event scene. I do think that he is being pushed to quickly though. I don't think that the fans are bored of him but they will be eventually if he continues to receive a mid-card/main-event push. Maybe he can form a tag team with Batista for a couple of years?

He's doing great so far but the last thing we need is him being a 10 time World Champ before the age of 30

That's the thing. He could be the next Rock, but that's not the kind of thing that they've really been able to force people into. The fans have to eat it up, not be told to watch it and like it.

(patiently waits for the L-C markout)

Anyways, yeah, I think the force-feeding is a mistake. The quick and easy mega-push has never really worked in the long run, especially for heels. Look at the Ultimate Warrior's run as champion. Look at Goldberg after the winning streak ended. Look at all of the up-and-comers from OVW who were shoved to the top in their first year or so, and flopped in the long run (Lesnar, Angle, etc). They were all introduced as hot new rookies who ran roughshod over the established midcarders and took out the big names more quickly than guys who had been there for years. But once their novelty wore off, the fans lost interest, whether it was because they were inexperienced or the crowd was unfamiliar with them, and in the long run they do very little (if anything at all) to affect the ratings. Just about all of those experiments have been failures, and I think that Orton will be a failure too.

And that's not a knock on Orton. The guy's got talent, a great look, and is a good worker with the potential to become a great one. The problem is in the booking and execution. The "Legend Killer" gimmick, while pretty over now, has virtually no real longevity to it; it's not like he can keep beating up old people for the rest of his career. And getting upset wins over well-established stars does very little but piss off the average crowd (read: not the Orton fan-boys). If they really wanted to put a long-term investment in the kid, they should have started him at the level as everyone else, and built him up so he could get over on his own, not just leech off of Evolution and his opponents for heat. As it is, Christian's getting louder heat than Orton is, and he's not even supposed to be near the I-C Champ's level.

Really ? Christian lost to Chris Jericho in a cage match and Orton puts away Edge.... Lets think about that.

Anyway. The whole "Ledgend Killer" gimmick is crap. Orton spiting in Harley Race's face makes me sick. As for the mic skills,he needs to work on it a bit,hes not to bad,but he needs to stop insulting the roster and start challangeing them to fights.

Once he loses the IC tital,I suggest he gos into the Raw Tag Team Division with Dave Batista.

That has NOTHING to do with heat, you blatantly flaming idiot... The arguement was that since Christian was built up the right way he's getting more genuine heat than Orton... We were not debating who was getting a bigger push because it's pretty obvious that Orton gets that honor.

No, Orton sucks. He is a decent work, and can be carried through a feud, but all he really has going for him is the look and his last name. That will only take him as far as he has gotten. He needs to really do something to improve his mic work, and become more charismatic.

I think Orton is some talent that should be shown more. They are just right now trying to make him into a good character that no matter what they do with him the fans will either be against him or with him unlike other people like Rosey who I dont think any one really cares about.

speaking of Rosey, i thought Three Minute Warning was an alright tag team. so what did they do-fired one guy and put the other one in a 'career-suicide gimmick'.

OOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

First of all to the poster Edge up there, you said that spitting in Race's face made you sick. Well no sh**. I thought it was suppossed to make you jump for joy amd do cartwheels all around the room.

To ME, Orton and Christian are the two hottest wrestlers on Raw right now. I guess I am a little biased with the whole young, arogant, cocky type of gimmick, but whatever. But, you got to give Orton credit where credit is due. That IC title had like no credibility what so ever before he was champion. It was tossed around from wrestler to wrestler and nobody ever defended it. Orton gets the belt and not only does he defend it a lot, but he puts on great matches too. Yeah, before you say, but Michales, RVD, Jerichom and Foley carried him to great matches, well it takes two people to make a match not one. Well, not for JBL.



Orton's promos are getting better and better as the months go on. He's only 23, I mean give him like 5 years before he starts delievering some real good ones. There is one thing though that makes me believe he's going to be huge. You may have noticed over the past few weeks that the fans have started to cheer FOR Orton and have been doing thr "Randy" chants. This hapened with Cena, Rock, DX, where they were heel and the fans loved them. That's kind of a prelude that better days are ahead.

All in all, I don't care what others think about him. He entertains me on Raw and that's really all that matters to me. If he's a flop in the end, I'll admit it, but right now, he's no where near being a flop.

how long has Orton been IC champ-5 months? and how many times has he defended it-twice? Orton has been delivering great matches lately, but you're living in a f.ucking dreamworld if you consider him to be a 'fighting champion'

First of all, nice way to FU** up the quote. And I didn't know Orton books his own matches. It's not like he says that he wants to defend his IC title on any given night or anything. Here are all the title defenses he's had so far

He defended it against RVD right after he won it on Raw
He defended it against RVD and Booker T on Raw
He defended it against Val Venis on Heat
He defended it against Foley at Backlash
He defended it against Edge last week on Raw.

He's defended it a couple of times at House Shows too against Xtian and Benjamin.

But seeing as how the IC title was never being defended before Orton held the title, that's pretty good.

Orton has defended the title more then twice buddy. And I didn't know Orton books his own matches because it's not like he has a say on wether or not he wants to defend his title on any given night. I never said he was a fighting champion, I was just statting the fact the the IC title was never getting defended at all before Orton got it. It seemed like a lost cause and now it has credibility again.

yeah, i wasnt saying that it's Orton's fault that he's not a fighting champion. and i know you didnt SAY "Orton is a fighting champion", but you kinda implied it (defends his title alot = fighting champion). and yes Randy Orton has given the IC title credibility. f.uck RVD, and i dont even remember who had it before RVD. Shane McMahon?
but you say he defends his title alot and i dis-agree. im not trying to take anything away from Orton, but i would rather see the IC on a "fighting champion" shades of Bret Hart.

First of all. I was just trying to say that I think Orton might be a we bit better than the CLB right now. As is Chris Jerichio.

And no I would not jump for joy when a young man spits in a Ledgends face. Im a big fan of Orton but I want to see wrestleing not this sh*t.
