How are you guys feeling about Randy Orton right now?
I have a feeling it's a mixed reaction, but I think personally that Randy Orton has been a very good champion at press time. If nothing else, I at least expect him to win matches at this point. I'm enjoying both his ring work and his character. What do you think?

I think he could win at no way out, since he became all intense and started kicking people in the head he’s been great to watch

I hated him, but now Cena's back and I realize that I took Orton being champ for granted

Loving Orton right now. Doing a pretty good job as champ when Cena got his boo boo.

Had a pretty average feud with Jericho, then in my opinion a great feud with Hardy and he was getting a lot better. But now I can't really see myself enjoying a 3 week feud against Cena.

They blew the feud with Jericho but that's not really Orton's fault.
Haven't watched WWE much but I think he's good as champ with face Cena chasing for a while. |

I've always considered Orton good-to-very good, but he's reportedly such a dick behind the scenes, and such a screwup on so many occasions, it saddens me to see WWE so desperate they give him chance after chance. He's no Shawn Michaels, in that everything backstage be forgiven, because you are too good to lose ya.
Plus the guy is so wooden, repetitive and bland on the stick that he shouldn't be the centrepiece of the company anyway. He's the figurehead, the representative of the company to the 'outside world' and he's about as charismatic as a sleeping hedgehog. |

He comes off in kayfabe about as much as I figure he is in real life- undertalented, overrated, overconfident, and not bright. He hasn't been bad, but even as a champion he comes off as a loser and a cheap winner.
And seriously, he sells overrated naturally. It takes an amazing talent to be naturally overrated. |

I agree with the last two, he's decent at what he does, but he's just so boring.

I think he's decent. If this was 1999, he'd probably be pretty entertaining in the IC division.

He would be better if he didn't get his ass kicked every Raw before his PPV matches. I don't mean he should blindside Matt Hardy every week, I mean it would be nice to see him get a pinfall or maybe even a submission out of one of his 600 rest holds. Also, he's not great on the mic, but I don't know that he needs to be. It's passable, but not outstanding enough to risk having the fans rally behind him and make him a face.

I have enjoyed Ortons run with the belt, and have no problems with the character. Though I do joke with people about the rediculous amount of rest holds, he is one of my fav things in the E right now.

I think he's been great lately. His new character was much needed, since his "cocky" persona had pretty much ran its course. And also, he never really has a bad match anymore. But one can say that's because of the talent he's facing. But anyway, I give Orton a big thumbs up

He's still bland, and boring. Not to mention his promos are terrible, but other than that he's ok I guess.

I agree with IC, execpt that Orton is a little sloppy/not in the right place for spots wrestling wise. So besides for being bland, boring, horrible promos, and not taking spots right, he is good. Plus he just doesn't have the body of a wrestler, he is just to long looking.

Sure he is kind of bland, but I like the new character of the deadly assasin gimmick. He doesn't do much for excitement, just really intense and usually kicks ass. And it will be my ultimate mark out moment if he beats Cena at No Way Out.

I like it. I like his cocky attitude works perfect with the guys he feuds with. One of my friends made a good point. He said "Orton barely has a bad match because he does mostly rest holds."

HBK mark since 1995
Posts: 488

I just wish RKO had gotten a clean win over Michaels. To proclaim himself the "one man dynasty" after beating HBK when HBK had a clear shot at using his kick and couldn't really didn't make me believe in Orton as a champ. Then he didn't get a clean win over Jericho, which I thought was crap. I think his character has gotten better - I didn't like the psycho-killer thing they had when he was punting people's heads, but now that he's got his arrogance back into his character (like Evolution days almost) I'm starting to like him more.
And the clean win over Jeff helped a lot. It's just too bad he's done at No Way Out. |

I think I am one of the only people who realized he sucked back when he was carried by Triple H, Ric Flair, and Mick Foley. Randy Orton has no charisma, no in-ring ability, and no common sense.

Randy Orton is nowhere near great. Neither is John Cena. That is why I am happy Orton vs. Cena is not the main event.
I think the most exciting thing the WWE can do with Orton at WrestleMania, is have him face Matt Hardy. It takes one-half of the most exciting SmackDown! feud of the year, and puts it against one-half of the most exciting RAW feud of the year, plus there is justification there. |

I like Orton alot more now, he is just a good heel, fans like to hate him, but he can work as a face, although his look clearly is heelish.
I can see after HHH leaves the company (or wrestling anyways) Orton being among the heel leaders, he has the charisma to be a heel, and the blatant cockiness is a nice asset. |
