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, and he would've been viewed how orton is today.

The sad thing is that neither of these guys had to be mediocre. They had very clear athletic timing and instincts. They just couldn't be bothered to be interesting.

I give him a 4, just off the strength of his finisher.

Promo skills are a 3. As a heel he's OK, as a face he's very very unnatural. His promos are more boring than HHHs 15 minute monologues.

Look - 4. The all black attire emphasizes how drab everything about him is. But if you put him in colors he'd look goofy. To be honest, he should push the envelope and adopt a white nationalist gimmick, that the WWE could smooth over by having him job to black wrestlers every week on TV. Call him the Charlottesville Brawler.

Ringwork - 5. He's not a horrible wrestler, but he doesn't take any risks of deviates much from his moveset of flow of matches. He can be carried to a good, memorable match, but I don't think he gives a shyt enough to put on a five star match.

If Orton retired right now, the WWE would stay the same or improve. If Orton never wrestled in the WWE the product would stay the same or maybe have been better. For a multiple time world champion this is damning. If John Cena is the Michael Jackson of this era, Randy is Tito. He's the definition of a bathroom break.

Once them rose glasses came off, its fukk randy orton.

Not only is he a racist good ol boy, he isnt good, outside of the astetics of wrestling, he is awful.

  • 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+
Overall i give a 1. He is Terry Taylor with better friends in the business. He was eclipsed by cena, batista, brock, lashley, jericho, and given more chances than all of them, and mania main events that flopped. Orton is garbage...almost jeff jarrett status but thats negative territory.
Was going to give a 4 before this post but seeing his former biggest stan completely shyt on his entire being made me check in on his body of work.

Looking back all Randall Keith Orton is, is a cool finisher that DDP does exponentially better. Orton is only as good as who he is in the ring with and even after that he doesnt apply himself in the least.

I remember nothing about his title reigns except getting cashed in on by the Miz and thats only because of that angry girl meme.

ANYONE could have been the legend killer with his endless push.

Worst Mania title win of ALL TIME.

Derailed Kofi's push after Kofi got himself over (Orton did nothing special).

Actually broke his hand hitting the mat setting up the RKO once

Cant be trusted to do a 10 year old's chores and come back unscathed.


Yep hes definitely a 1

All facts, that shyt was INEXCUSABLE about kofi.

Kofi could be fukking Ricky steamboat if he got that title win even for a month.

HHH vs rko at mania 25 was about the worst "bloodfeud" match ever too.

The definition of "a good hand".

Looks great, moves well in the ring but just ... so.....goddamn...boring.

Nothing about him ever interested me and I could never understand the appeal, or why people thought he was the future. Completely forgettable.

5 overall.

Y'all already said everything I was gonna say(and have said countless times before), so I'll keep this short. He's the worst pushed main event talent of all time. I've never seen someone without any discernable skills(workrate, promos, gimmick) get so many opportunities over more talented peers.

He gets a 3.
  1. Pose
  2. Look/theme
  3. Rkkko
