What's the match or moment that made randy orton... Randy Orton

[TRILLip Brooks]

When did Randy Orton become the boring, bland person that he still is today?

Could it be the 50 thousand match with John Cena that were forced down our throats?

 

[jono]

2011 is when he jumped the shark.

 

[BangEm_Bart]

Cena dried him out just like Cena dries every rivalry out. Cena dried rock out and i don't know how that's possible.

 

[afro thunder]

i wish they would have kept him more psychotic and shit, seem like when he became face and michael cole kept callin him the viper and shit over and over he got stale

 

[dalyricalbandit]

that Vintage shit be fuckin hilarious but annoying.

niggas could have just debuted and he'll be like "Vintage insert name"

 

[Triple B's]

Both the legend killer and viper eras pushed Orton to new levels

 

[BeleeDatPleighboy]

The Viper persona should be brought back full flegde...

That was Orton best character work IMO. I think it would be GOATr cause he is an elite worker now

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

he was always good/solid, but i never saw him as underrated until his latest heel turn, gave me a different appreciation of him

I was gonna make a Randy Orton appreciation thread or bump my old one but i cant find it.. but to answer my brothers question...

Randy Orton kills Mr. McMahon


Orton shoulda be the WWE, not Cena.

1st thing that came into my mind.

And that wasn't a fake kick either. Would've been more epic if he didn't have that "Oh s@@@! I f@@@'d up" reaction, and instead had that "No f@@@s given" owned it wit an evil grin reaction.

he was puttin on some of his better matches, definitely more inspired than the last couple years, plus his subtle heel tactics, something seth still needs to improve on, they booked him horribly and he was still makin it work

When he RKO'ed Stacy Keibler. Nah but my favorite RKO was when he caught Evan Borne coming down.
