DISCUSSION - Normally, I'm all for heel turns to refresh characters but turning Randy Orton would be a mistake.

There have been rumors of turning Orton heel for quite some time now, but I think it would be a mistake on the WWE's part.

-Orton has already done pretty much everything as a heel and had ascended to the top on multiple occasions. Going down this route for Orton wouldn't really do much for the WWE in my opinion.

-Orton, much like guys like Kane, Big Show, and Triple H, have simply been around too long......to the point where a 'turn' wouldn't really have much of a long term shock value.

Heyman's suggestion:

-Keep Orton face
-if you're going to push Orton, simply have him go over the correct people. Period.
-Make Orton more of a badass. Bringing back the punt is a good idea. Letting Orton have a rebellious attitude' like Steve Austin did back in the day is a step in the right direction.

Personally - I think the big money is still in turning John Cena heel at some point. Hopefully, sometime in 2013.

I think a heel Cena vs. face Randy Orton feud would be epic........quite possibly along the same lines as Austin/Angle from 2001 when Austin helped Angle become a huge face (for awhile anyways before the WWE messed it up).

Anyway - that's what I'd do.
