Only things Randy has going for him are his finisher, his dope entrance music and his selling is OK, other than that he sucks. Can't put on a good match unless he has someone like Christian or Daniel Bryan carrying him. He's bland as fukk on the mic and generally doesn't care about putting on a good show. His feud with Bray could have been so much better if he had actually invested in the angle and wore the Wyatt family attire and grew his beard out, but his lazy ass kept coming to the ring in his underwear.:scust:

All that and he's a racist piece of shyt who should've been fired long ago for his backstage behavior and drug use. fukk Klandy Boreton! Complete waste of a main event spot on the card.:scust:

Sighs....7 from me:snoop:

It's like this. Orton is one of those wrestlers that benefits from either having a shytty mood or having a good storyline. Dude is a good worker, his promo work is straight, and his moveset is on point but man....he's fukking boring:ld:. He suppose to be this "cold" individual, but he just doesn't move me. Jake the Snake moved me because of his dark persona, Undertaker moved me because phenom, but Orton.....man:beli:. He's the epitome of a car that gets you around, even though you not getting bad ones in the whip:camby:

I'm gonna hover around 6 because I did enjoy the Legend Killer run and the psycho shyt and because of the RKO (c'mon everybody knows the RKO). Outside of that he's lazy, and he at times can be unprofessional (Kofi incident), like you can easily tell when this dude is pissed in a match, a segment, whatever. I can't remember a signature Randy Orton promo, besides when they had him use Eddie Guerrero's death to get heat which still makes me cringe.

7. Good worker that stayed over and has less memorable moments/feuds than he should given his push.

He was super over and actually drawing big ratings during the Viper push, until he lost at Mania. If they played that right he might've been a legit superstar. Either way, he stayed very over over the years.

His best matches are the Mania 30 main event and the match with Foley.

LOL at how he'll probably get less than a 4, if this poll was done in 2010 or 11 he'd get between a 7 or 8.

Rick Rude and Curt Hennig would've been kneeling for Kaep if they were around, no doubt...

He never drew big ratings on his own. The Triple H program was during Wrestlemania season which always has the highest ratings for the year. Any other time he has been ratings poison.

Batista surpassed him too. If Batista didn't replace Mark Jindrak in Evolution, Jindrak probably would have surpassed Orton too. :mjlol:
:lolbron:Speaking of Jindrak, why did they nix him being in Evolution again?

1. I was happy to see I wasn't the only one who gave him a one too :pachaha:.

Never got the hype for this cac. I see why Vince and co. liked him because he does look exactly like the model of what they want in a wrestler but he has nothing memorable in his career. I wasn't really watching during the 09-10 years when he was supposedly "good" but I've watched PPVs and clips from that time and that shyt didn't blow me away either. I can't think of any stand out promos or matches from dude. He's been lucky to have the machine stick behind him his career and keep him at the top of the card.

Shocked to see he actually won wrestler of the year twice. Wow.

Amazing, Orton had a pretty healthy legion of stans/admirers even up to about two years ago. Well, if not stans then at least fans. And to be real Orton is not anything different than he was two years ago, five years ago, or eight years ago. He's always been lazy, monotone, immature bytchy, exhibited :mjpls: tendencies etc etc. Only difference is he's coming off a year's worth of WOAT feuds. If he had even something mildly interesting I doubt these scores would be this low. I remember when he was paired up with Wyatt for that brief moment he wasn't instant :camby: status around here like he is now. Honestly, if you were a fan of Orton in 2009 you should still be a fan of him today. He's never tried to hide who and what he is, or isn't.

I guess to score him he'd be a solid five. Only thing he has is a look/pose. Everything else average. Just a tall guy in trunks.

He can't even take out the trash without getting injured. Put that bum in the Smackdown Women's Division.

During Cena's evaluation, a lot of posters said he benefitted from coming up in an era where there was a lot of mediocre talent. Well that goes double for Orton, who also had the advantage of being a legacy and having Triple H and Vince in his corner. The man has been around for 15 years, and his standout run is still "The Legend Killer" from 200-fukking-3. That is ridiculous.

I can't rate him low as a 1 because he wouldn't be where he is if he didn't have some talent. Orton is a case of wasted potential. He really does have all the tools needed to be great, but because he's a lazy, privileged bum, he lands solidly in the middle. 5

I think ppl shyt on Orton because he doesn't do Neckbeard favorites like super kicks, suicide dives, moonsaults, or MMA based strikes. Orton style is like a old school hoss like Barry Windham, Bruiser Brody, Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy. When I watch Orton, it's like watching a WCW match in 1991. I like tha fact that he doesn't try to do all the moves that 99% of wrestlers today spam.
