Orton is wack. Only enjoyed him during his Christian feud. Never went back to watch his stuff from 05 to 09 and don't have any intentions to do so. He's lazy as fukk and trash on the mic. I don't get it. He can go when inspired, which is rare. He was supposed to be Player 1B for WWE the past decade, but let guys like DB, Punk, Rollins, KO, and even Mahal surpass him. I might edit this to add more later.
TSC Evaluation #60: Randy Orton
- Thread starter mrken12
- Start date
Batista surpassed him too. If Batista didn't replace Mark Jindrak in Evolution, Jindrak probably would have surpassed Orton too.

Hot Take: I liked Mark Jindrak during the Death of WCW days.

fukk Randy Orton as both a wrestler and a human being.
One of the biggest examples of nepotism and brainwashing in the history of the business. He gets treated like he is some all-world talent and his actual track record is the polar opposite.
-No killer promos
-No iconic matches
-Non factor in terms of drawing money
And yet people view him as being 1B with Cena which is absurd. Orton needs to thank his lucky stars that he came up in a monopoly because any decent competition would force the E to bush such a mediocre talent.

4 is the lowest score i’ve given so far and that was for Jeff Jarrett and i got Orton on about that same tier
can’t recall a time i was ever excited for any Orton match and the match with him vs Mick Foley is his only noteworthy match IMO

That part got me for some reason.
Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
Gave him a 4. His work and promo skills don't quite match someone with his amount of accomplishments
Off topic, but why was Jindrak replaced with Batista in Evolution?

- Promos are canned and boring as fukk. F-
- Personality he mails it in terribly. Its so obvious when he doesn't give a fukk or is losing.... F.
- Ring work - jesus...every orton match is slow as shyt...all he has is a super plex and a finisher. How can you have a formulaic moveset that SUCKS? Every orton match is a D+

Okay. This popped me so loud that the guy in the next cubicle literally stuck his head over the rim to see what I am hollering at.
From Jindrak's words:
Mark Jindrak On Why Batista Replaced Him In Evolution - WrestlingInc.com
As noted last week, in the extras of the Triple H - Thy Kingdom Come DVD, Triple H discussed Mark Jindrak originally being pegged to be in Evolution before eventually being replaced by Batista. Jindrak, who now competes under the name of Marco Corleone in Mexico, commented on being nixed from the group and replaced by Batista.
"I wasn't ready for Evolution at that time in my career," Jindrak admitted on his Twitter. "I was immature and Batista fit better. It was mine to lose and I dropped the ball. But since then I've matured and understood why I missed that chance and it's helped me in my career which ended up in CMLL in Mexico
"I missed Evolution but don't miss my soap opera 'porque el amor manda' @Univision 8pm with over 4 million viewers every night mon-fri"
I thought of it on the fly but its very accurate. If terry taylor was better friends with JJ dillon and ric flair, they would've pushed the york foundation to the moon, he would've main evented starrcade vs sting, would be a top heel vs bret hart in wwf and failed at that too, and he would've been viewed how orton is today.

it would be a 2, but he had a spark when he started.

I rank Jeff Jarrett higher than Randy Orton as he is now.
