Is Randy Orton 10 Years Too Late?

Whenever I see Orton nowadays, I think of how awesome he could have been utilized back in the Attitude Era. Yes I know, everyone could have benefitted by being involved with great writing and good television, but I'm commenting on how perfectly his character would have fit into the company at the time.

I think Orton's "IED"/anger management character back in January of 2009 was such an great character that was pissed away because of the childish product that WWE is putting out. I just think that Orton's character when he was sadistically taking out the McMahon's last winter would have been a really interesting character and could have worked well with many other wrestlers at that time.

Instead, WWE seems to be stuck in the one dimensional good guy/bad guy scenario where the heel must be a complete coward running away from the fearless babyface. Orton as a badass heel would have been amazing (well, it was cool for a month), and unfortunately I think the ship has sailed.

And yes, I am aware that Orton is a millionaire and making a shitload of money anyway and I'm sure he doesn't care..but it would have been awesome!

Thoughts...?
