I've become an Orton fan

Randy Orton is always good enough to be World Heavyweight Champion, sir.

I know there's no reason to give him the belt now, but like I said before, I could see the stable taking all the gold on RAW. I'd love it, except that it would mean CAWdy got himself another title. That I would not like.

I'd like to see Manu/Sim go for the tag titles and Ted go for IC. I know it wouldn't make much sense, and that's different than what I said before, but I fucking hate Rhodes.

As far as Mania goes, I could see Orton in the title match again. I don't think he'd win, but I think he'd cost someone his chance at the title. As far as him facing Ted, I could see that too. It just wouldn't make much sense. That would feel rushed to me, which means we'll see Randy Orton take on Ted DiBiase at Mania.

Why is it that you don't like Cody Rhodes? It's fair enough -- your opinion and all, but I'm just wondering. Personally, he's my favourite member of the group. He's in good shape, has good mic skills and is good in the ring. He's still very young, and has years and years to get better at his craft.

If they did put all the gold on Legacy, I agree with everything, except Ted DiBiase as IC Champion. Give that to Rhodes and have DiBiase feud against Legacy. He and Rhodes have already gotten the rub off being World Tag Team Champions together. Let DiBiase do something else. If they do stick him in the group, then let Rhodes go after the ECW Title, and DiBiase go after the IC one.

As far as Orton facing DiBiase at WrestleMania being rushed? I see your point, as DiBiase does not seem to be anywhere on that level, but if Cena is busy, I can't think of anything else Orton could do. Austin/Orton just screams "boring" me, I'm sorry. If they hadn't already blown the story, Orton/Punk could have been something cool. DiBiase is one of those guys the WWE has big plans for, so putting him in the ring with Orton at WrestleMania Silver might be a great way to elevate him a little.

I have more to say about what you said, but I'm tired so I'll start with this and get to the rest tomorrow.

I agree that he is in good shape and that he has years to get better (barring an injury) but that's it. I honestly don't think he's very good in the ring. I can't stand watching him, he just seems way too generic to be taken seriously. To me, Cody Rhodes is like the default Create-A-Wrestler guy you use to test out your Create-A-Wrestler guy. And I completely disagree about his mic skills. I cringe every time he does a promo.

I guess my biggest problem with him is that I just can't take him seriously as a main-event type of guy. Between his generic look and style, and his (to me) god awful promos, it just doesn't seem like he's going to be anything more than someone's tag along pal.

I pretty much agree. If he gets better, then we'll talk, but for now, he's bland and average, and just because he has years to improve does not mean that he will ever do so.
