I'm sorry, but i still have a 7+ year beef with the WWE and how they used DDP - Page 2

The Best Diamond Cutters I've seen were.

The Backslide attempt, into a flipover, Diamond Cutter to that one guy, I can't remember his name....Damn, nevermind, his opponent never existed.

One that I still can't find, is one he did on WCW Saturday Night in 98 to Eddie Guerrero, lifting him up into a Powerbomb and catching him with the Cutter on the way down.

The Goldberg one was great, as well as the Kidman, Swinging Cage Cutter.

I remember, one he did to that one opponent who never existed, where that dude was going for a Diving Head Butt on Kanyon, and DDP Ran across the ring, cut off said wrestler, with a Diamond Cutter.

Overall, I do agree Orton has perfected the coming out of nowhere RKO, but DDP did it more times, and while it was out of nowhere, it was expected on DDP part, where, You don 't really see it coming for Orton.

I agree with the OP that DDP (like most wrestlers from WCW) were used like crap in WWE...I still hate how they did the Invasion. Injecting the McMahons in it and all, it just looked like a real CRAP version of nWo. It seemed that Booker T was the only one who (eventually) came out of that mess and got over (even if he, too, had to endure some crap).

You wouldn't think it by just looking at the guy, but seeing his matches, DDP was definitely an entertaining wrestler to watch, with the many ways he would pull off the Diamond Cutter. I think there was once a match with him versus Raven at Uncensored that was a classic.

The way he booked in WWE was absolutely disgusting; the way he was booked to have no offense at all against the Undertaker was just BS, and the beginning of the end. The only thing I liked about all of that crap is that it ensured that a real Diamond Cutter was put into the SmackDown video games. Other than that... it was BS.

Randy Orton is one of the few "homegrown" talents of WWE that have actually panned out, but to me his RKO, while mark-out worthy, isn't seeing the many ways DDP hit the Diamond Cutter. Plus, because he "flies" alot while doing the move and does it one-handed, it reminds me of what it would look like if The Rock decided to do the Diamond Cutter. What Orton has truly mastered is how to pull it out at a time that almost instantly = a mark-out moment. I was playing WWE Day of Reckoning 2, and the cut scene where he RKOs you after Edge and Jericho beat you up was just as much a mark-out moment as it would have been in real life.
