WWE actually did Orton's face turn right. If a heel is getting pops all you have to do to maintain or build on that is change his focus from attacking faces to attacking heels. This is where they went wrong with him in 05 and something that I think Cena suffers from - they go face and start kissing up to fans/being a nice guy.

Yep, they did it much better this time. How they fucked up after SummerSlam is beyond me... oh wait, putting the title on HHH, that was it.

This time, it was the little things that made the difference for me. While he was a heel building into a face during the Legacy stable, he posed on the ropes without doing his arm thing. Then the night that his turn was completed, he did the arm thing and the crowd loved it. From that point on, he was a face again. They made it so definable, it was great.

They put the belt on Triple H because Orton proved he wasn't ready to carry the ball, so they put it back on the man who could carry the ball between the shoulder blades of his massive and entertaining back.

Orton didn't even get to win a PPV as champ... that's rough.

It's not like Triple H was exactly short of title runs around that time. Didn't he win a vacated title that he had vacated? Was that the only competition he could find, himself?
