Randy Orton thoughts; Vs Triple H, character direction, etc. (spoilers)

I dont understand how many of you guys consider Evolution turning on Randy Orton tonight bad booking? It makes total sense; Triple H's character obviously isn't ready to give up the spotlight to a kid who got too much too soon. I mean, we saw this coming the night Randy Orton won the battle royal on RAW and Triple H was less than excited for him.

Randy doesn't have to fight Triple H at the next PPV. They could do an angle where Randy just refuses to fight against Triple H because he was his mentor, the guy who showed him the ropes, and despite HHH beating him up, he still looks up to him. That right there can create sympathy from the fans and get them behind him. HHH and Evolution can continue to fuck Randy up and make his life a living Hell until he finally gives in. They could drag this on until Survivor Series or even the Royal Rumble. I don't see why Randy Orton vs Triple H has to be saved for Wrestlemania anyway. If anything, it would be nice to see John Cena (if they start pushing him properly again) against Randy Orton, as the seed for that match has already been planted.

And what's with all this talk about Randy Orton being a bland face now? Why can't he continue to be cocky and be a face? That's the problem WWE has when they turn heels face, they do such a 180 degree turn with them that they lose their "coolness" and the reason fans started liking them to begin with. It happened with Diesel, it happened with HBK, it happened with Brock Lesnar, don't let it happen to Orton. The only times this didn't happen was with Undertaker, Austin, and The Rock, and look at how popular they remained after their face turns.

Put a spoiler warning in the title if you mention anything about Raw before Friday, as the British poster don't see it till then. -Funky
