I have feared for a long time that Orton was going to end up in the "too much too soon" category. His first Wrestlemania match had the Rock and Ric Flair in it for fuck's sake, there wasn't much more to do after that.

But he was a small nut in a giant cog. It got bigger and bigger and now it's cooled off.

A big question is why is he so popular with crowds? His matches, especially on tv are slow. He has zero personality when compared to the other fan favorites and he also comes and goes very frequently.

Other than women who find him hot for the life of me I can't understand his overness.

some people seem to mistake his whole "cold, calculating" schtick he has going with doing nothing or has having zero personality. If it's not your thing then fair enough but you don't have to play an imaginary trumpet or drop pipebombs to have a personality. He simply has "it". It drips out of him, you just have to watch him walk to the ring and look at the crowd at the right time to realize the guy screams "superstar". For example, just tonight I was talking to a bird I know and wrestling came up and she loves Orton, one of her mains reasons being because of his "intensity".

The guy is probably the most "widely praised" WWE born and bred style guy going, I've never heard anybody inside the pro wrestling business, from shitty little shows to the "been there, done that" guys like Ted DiBiase or Barry Windham etc on shoot interviews and so forth say a bad word about him. The only place you ever see him criticized is online. Not liking the guy, not being a fan of him, not being "your thing" etc is all completely understandable but to not see why he's so over? I dunno, how can you miss it. The guy is like a prototype #2 for "Successful Modern Professional Wrestler" after prototype #1 John Cena.

THANK YOU! This is what I've been saying about his character since day one finally somebody else gets it.
