No wonder WCW went out of business-The Rock

[K-Apps]

Explain this? He doesnt half ass it in the ring and gets the crowd into his matches...his EFFORTs..

His gimmick is tired and boring at this point, the Viper shyt peaked around that feud with Cena in 2010. He needs freshen up, badass version of his arrogant Legend Killer gimmick. Basically just be himself, the fukkery and hilarity of a somewhat unfiltered Orton on the mic would be great

Rock just there for that check now.

This last run was probably enough to buy him a new 10 room mansion in Beverly Hills, or maybe he's just gonna give it to his daughter.

How does that reflect his attitude towards the gimmick he's been given?

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

While we're on the subject of Orton I don't want to see a heel version of what he's doing now. It'd be boring. Only so much silent slithering one can do. He needs to grow his hair back and start talking again. Show some personality. Dude is as boring as Sheamus.

dope segment, Rock throwin' them hands in the end lightening quick

 

[R=G]

If Orton wasnt a two+ time fukkup maybe we couldve got Orton vs Rock

Fans kind of wanted that match back then. Hell, they thought this was maybe a prelude to something anyway for WM 21 but that all went to the hell. Orton was ahead of John Cena and everyone except Brock Lesnar for awhile. Fans were behind Cena big time in 2003 and 04 but the Raw booking was pro Blandy and gave him that belt. They just botched up he handling of the whole situation..should of never turned face that early. A pity.

Cena Was On Smackdown Tho

 

[R=G]

Raw was booked ahead of Smackdown no matter what. Blandy was ahead by leaps and margins with WWE brass. Cena was just a guy who never lost in the midcard and had wack feuds. He was throwing peanuts at cats at the end of those comedy raps while Blandy was facing Benoit for the World title in the main event of Summerslam.


"I bet you know how to say Super SIZE me though, don't you"

 

[Ohnoits]

You can make the case all that is the reason why he essentially a upper midcard face in the doldrums since losing the title to Henry. WWE knows Orton isn't reliable enough to give a massive main event push anymore and Orton laissez-fare attitude towards his character/gimmick hasn't helped either.

Yea. I don't think WWE went out of their way to sabotauge Orton. It was easy for the IWC to talk shyt about how they pulled his push out from under him back when that went down, thinking they were just feeding him to Triple H...but looking back on everything that could've been internal punishment for his behavior.

Man was even backstage smokin weed in the hallway at one point at work he had serious issues.

Truth is, we have no idea what other #fukkery and drugs he got up to during his tenure that turned them off of him. They were clearly high on him from the start I don't think cut him for no reason, he just all over his opportunities.

I mean, when he forgot his line last week and straight out asked Sheamus and Sheamus looked at him like You can tell Orton doesn't take shyt seriously at all.

 

[R=G]

He didn't have those issues in 2004 though. They buried him because they wanted to.

He clearly doesn't give a shyt anymore, clear example:

If Orton's being punished, it serves that fakkit right for ruining Kofi's push.

That was a HUGE burial that people kind of gloss over.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Kofi shouldnt've botched in a raw main event. He proved he wasnt cut out to be in one.
