I think Randy Orton certainly has charisma and oozes potential, but I just don't think he goes all-out giving his 100%.

Randy is a 2nd generation wrestler, he's still young, the crowd reacts to him, he's not bad in the ring. If he wanted to be on top, he would be. I'm sure HHH and Vince would give him a push if he asked for one, he's got some pull.

If he's not contending for a title, it's just because he doesn't want to. Randy Orton has all the potential in the world, and he could get wherever he wanted to go.

It drips out of him, you just have to watch him walk to the ring and look at the crowd at the right time to realize the guy screams "superstar". For example, just tonight I was talking to a bird I know and wrestling came up and she loves Orton, one of her mains reasons being because of his "intensity".

THANK YOU! This is what I've been saying about his character since day one finally somebody else gets it.

Orton is arguably WWE's best performer. The guy does it all and gets it. When he turned face, he didn't start suddenly making jokes on the mic and slapping hands (well he did in 2004, but not the 2nd time around). His character is awesome and refreshing. Finally a babyface that didn't do a complete 180 just because he faces heels.

Anyway, Orton IMO, is the best. Who gives a shit if he doesn't kill it on the mic? He makes up for it with expressions and body language in the ring, which is FAR more valuable anyway.

I can remember some instances in which I truly enjoyed some Randy Orton moments (like when he straight-up slapped the ref to be intentionally DQ'd vs. Cena a few years back) and he does seem to be going with the flow right now, but I think that's due to him being stuck as a face when he's so much better as a heel.

With that said, the Orton we've had over the past year or so has been completely boring to me; each match has been a retread of the last, and it's gotten to the point where lately I've just been changing the channel whenever he's on.


Also, Otorn has terrible clotheslines, each one is delivered with such trepidation and lack of force it's as though he's afraid of hurting himself each time he sticks his arm out.

I like Orton. He's just on the back-burner whilst the likes of Del Rio, Sheamus, Big Show are in contention. He needs something to do, someone to focus on, a proper feud. Wouldn't be opposed to seeing him feud with Rhodes or Barrett again, they were good programmes with little pay off.

I think half the problem is that he's already faced virtually everyone that people would be interested in: HHH, Taker, Cena, Punk, etc. Are there any big feuds left for him? Are people interested in him vs. Sheamus, vs. Del Rio, etc?

There is of course, the ready made programme with The Rock, but would they "waste" Rocky on Orton?

This has been pissing me off a lot lately. His fucking wild gangling arms thrown about in the air to give the opponent a little love tap? Come on, man!

Making himself look like that fucking tube man

I doubt they'd ever waste The Rock on Orton. Especially if they have Rock face Cena at Mania again. If they aren't gonna let anyone besides Cena face Rock at Mania who else is gonna get a chance to face him and when?

I don't know what happened that I must have missed Extreme Rules 2011 or I just totally forget it existed after I saw it but last night I watched Orton vs Punk in a Last Man Standing match. Easily one of Orton's better matches. It was a fun match and Orton showed that intensity that I don't feel like we've seen much lately.

I remember when Orton was drafted to Smackdown and they wanted him to be the "Cena" of Smackdown so obviously sent him a lot of media. In every interview he would say stuff like how he hated doing interviews, he hated being babyface, only him and Cena are worth a shit and everyone in the locker room besides him has ravaged Kelly Kelly's vagina. That probably didn't do much for his corporate stock, especially when they have guys like Sheamus and Miz who actually want to be out there doing media.

Very well put. Randy has a way about him. His DVD came across like his anger is under control and he isn't as cocky but its obvious he still fights himself.

I agree with XL, it's just his turn to drop to the mid card and give others the spot light for a while, he's only floundering because he doesn't really have a program with anyone, he'll be in one of the chamber matches at EC no doubt so I don't think much will change between now and then either.
