I've become an Orton fan

Randy Orton has something going for him at the moment. He's connecting better with the crowds, and it doesn't feel like the boat has sailed on him, like it did after he initially lost the World Heavyweight Title to Triple H, and found himself without much going for him in the years that followed.

I don't think he's good enough to be World Heavyweight Champion. Well, at least for there to be a need to put the belt on him right now. Not when you have guys like Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels on the same brand. There are a bunch of other guys that I'd also put ahead of Orton in ability terms, and in being able to interest me, but I won't go too much into it.

This Legacy thing has been fun. I love the way that Cody Rhodes and Manu aren't taking any of his shit, and they're being elevated to look almost like equals to Orton.

I'm thinking Orton finds his way into the WrestleMania title scene again this year, most likely in a Triple Threat against John Cena and Batista. I'd rather he faced Ted DiBiase, or something like that, though.
