DISCUSSION - If Legacy is destined to split it, should ORTON be the one to turn face?

I don't agree with this statement at all. If the WWE could take a sledge hammer wielding sociopath in Triple H and make him a face, then I believe that anything is possible.

Remember - the fans love winners....and people with an impeccable track record.

Not only do I think that it would be relatively easy to turn Orton face, but I also think that he'd be pretty damned successful........assuming that he keeps his badass personna.

The biggest mistake that the WWE makes with their faces (that have just become faces after having a lengthy and successful run as a heel), is that they change the character too drastically....to the point where the newly turned face starts kissing the fans' ass.

Orton's character is quite a bit different from the one we saw in 2004, and I don't think that even the WWE are dumb enough to f*ck him up this time around (knock on wood )
