Who Had The Better Career: Randy Orton or Batista

[Dreamzeedream]

when he went from smackdown to raw after his heel turn i dint get to see much of him after that. All I know is that he lost to cena in a Last man standing match. But he was always treated like a top guy. especially on smackdown. I always felt randy accomplished alot to early in his career, that's what made him lazy as y'all call him.



But what who do u think had the better career

 

[Reality Check]

In WWE only? Orton

WWE + Outside endeavors? Batista easily

This...

But Orton has time in to help him...

I look at it as whose career would I rather have. That answer is easily Batista. He came in, got huge, got paid, got out with his health and has some success in a lane that has nothing to do with WWE.

Orton easily had more tools at his disposal and by all means *should* have been seen as the clear 1B to Cena but could never put it all together. Not to mention as time passes on the weird mix of favoritism and/or nepotism becomes more apparent when looking at his career as a whole. He has really done nothing of note for the past 5+ years that even justifies him being around.

Orton was never as hot as Batista was after winning the title in 05

Randy Orton lost me early on. Dude was boring af.

 

[Hey_zeus]

Batista.

• Better feuds
• Better matches
• Better title reigns
• Didn't over stay
• Great heel and face

 

[John Reena]

Randy.

He was treated like a big deal early.

Batista had to go thru being D-Von bodyguard, then had to take tha backseat in Evolution as the muscle

 

[R=G]

Who won at WM 21....There's your answer.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

Orton is trash

In general Batista. Headlined a Wrestlemania and held multiple world championships. Definitely a future WWE hall of famer. Now getting big roles in major Hollywood movies.

In wrestling I would probably say it's a tie.

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Batista had more moments more fukkery better matches

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Orton’s the easy, surface answer, but the real answer’s Batista. Orton’s face run fizzled out where Batista’s soared. While Batista’s return was met with mixed reactions, boos and jeering, Orton’s title reign at that time was met with silence and indifference. That alone tells you who the bigger star was, despite all the accolades Orton has.

05 Batista > Any version of Orton imo.

05 Batista in general is one of my all time favorites

Randy.

He was treated like a big deal early.

Batista had to go thru being D-Von bodyguard, then had to take tha backseat in Evolution as the muscle

And then what happened...?
