I mean, that's like 15 months. How about "LET ME REPEAT THE FINISH SPOT" in one of the more blatant business-revealing spots ever with Jericho when he blew the RKO on Raw? Shall we continue with "Orton's feud with Foley delivers no emotional payoff for the fans" and only serves to make Randy look good by having Foley carry him in SPOTFEST HARDCORE MATCH that doesn't require pure wrestling ability? Why would that be? BECAUSE HE LACKS IT. Now now, don't forget. "Tonight on Raw, it'll be Chris Benoit and Edge against La Resistance...for the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE!" How about "the fans won't get behind a heel Orton title chase"...so we'll hotshot the chase into one episode of Raw and have Orton win a fucking battle royal over Jericho, whose match with Benoit at SummerSlam would have been 10x better and probably drawn more buys. I hear Triple H pushed for the super face turn for Orton that failed. So I won't blame Orton. But in 3 months, god damn did Orton look horrible. Shitty Kane cage match that JR plugged as "BAH GAWD ORTON HAS OUTSMARTED EVERYONE!" Slow, shitty offense against the then-equally slow Triple H at Unforgiven. An OK outing, dominated by the better face workers at SSeries. A stupid "concussion gimmick" storyline throughout '05's early outings. The inclusion of Bob Orton was almost too much. It felt Russo-riffic and ruined what had been a good buildup (and match) with Taker. I could make a three-disc DVD of Orton's shitty work. And it's been like 5 years. Actually, it's been about 2 1/2 considering his time on the disabled list.

Batista was over big-time with fans even when pushed as a heel. Because he has natural charisma. Comparing Orton's tired, shitty, attempts at promos to what Batista can do with a simple look, not to mention his angry faces when talking, his sensical promos, or stylish demeanor, makes you look silly. Do tell me, what exact Orton's "character" do you find interesting? The fact that despite being 220 lbs soaking wet, he thinks he's destined to defeat all the legends? The fact that he says the same promo over and over again for every feud? The fact that he stumbles over most of his live promos? He has a dropkick, a 3.0, a neckbreaker, and a one-armed sloppy Diamond Cutter. He really doesn't look like a pro wrestler, and because of this he needs to bring something interesting to the table to garner fan heat. He does not do this. However, I do have several favorite Orton moments. Please READ them before replying. 1) Orton comes to Raw as a green rookie. Pins Lance Storm and Christian, two guys who went over HULK HOGAN on PPV just months earlier, in back to back matches in like 5 minutes. Fucks up his finisher in his debut. 2) Proceeds to get injured that week. 3) Orton comes to Raw as a heel aligned with Triple H in the new super group Evolution. 4) Proceeds to get injured in 2 weeks. 5) Despite having absolutely no credibility whatsoever and no big or memorable matches under his belt, MAKES HIS PAY-PER-VIEW DEBUT IN THE MAIN EVENT OF SUMMERSLAM FOR THE WORLD TITLE. Shall I continue with why he is hated? Read #5 again. Ok. 6) Looks like shit and is carried by Shawn Michaels to an OK PPV match. And *goes over*. 7) During the build for the Steve Austin Vs. Eric Bischoff 5-on-5 team Survivor Series match, we have the following people involved: Jericho & Christian - Austin-haters from the beginning. RVD - defending Austin, hates Y2J and Christian Dudley Boyz - hate Bischoff, like Austin's "no BS" style Mark Henry - siding with Bischoff, openly hates Austin Scott Steiner - attacked by Austin Booker T - hates Christian, no fan of Bischoff Shawn Michaels - former Austin partner and almost retired against Steve, history brought up to bring him as a leader, Austin practically begs him And who do we get to fill out the match? A guy who does pretty much JACK SHIT in the bout, who has NOTHING TO DO with Austin or Bischoff, and winds up being the SOLE SURVIVOR of the whole thing... Randy Orton. Jesus Christ himself wasn't booked stronger on Easter. But let's continue... Then Orton goes over RVD for the IC Title. Whatever, always thought the title made more sense on heels anyway. Whole PPV sucked, not gonna argue. _________ Then we get Orton made to look unstoppable against the likes of RVD, Booker T, and Chris Jericho in Raw matches. The crowd was BEGGING them to take the title off Orton. Because Randy was a great heel who generated negativity and made his opponents look good? No. Because Orton's promos were repetitve, his matches were the same, he blew moves, and people were sick of having him ran down their throats.

It's ironic that Orton talks so much shit on females. Because I liken him to a sloppy women's wrestler (generic mic skills, sloppy and slow execution) trapped in a boy's body.

They didn't badmouth RVD because he was man enough to respect a WWE star to give him a title shot.

Indeed he did. He set up the July 22nd Mask Vs. Hair bout in Hellertown, PA between Jigsaw and Icarus.

One single (sloppy) RKO pinned Undertaker in the second biggest PPV of last year. Undertaker is slightly more powerful than Kane. So no reason why tonight's sloppy RKO couldn't pin Kane. Plus, no one really remembers Kane or Orton matches, so putting them both together was genius.

It'll be a DQ. Nitro did the same thing, giving away Sting/Hogan in the first couple weeks, and it sure as hell didn't hurt the buyrates for their future encounters. Not that either of these two are Sting or Hogan. Edit: Wait, New ECW is EXTRREEEEEMMMMEEEEE, no DQs, right? (Even though Original ECW has had DQs...). Perhaps Angle goes over dirty.

"What will happen when the two most popular Extremists square off for the first time in an ECW ring?" Ask the Saturday Night New Alhambra Arena crowd.

It's his official logo. A hitman kills people. The skull was tattered. Dead people leave skulls behind.

"Only if he bursts through a wall and goes "OH YEAH!". Otherwise it's just silly." Already done this weekend in a much more entertaining place.

Why is my post BS? Umaga has done nothing but work squashes and do the same three moves. Anyone that likes his Samoa Joe-Lite act just...c'mon. JBL *does* repeat himself. I thought so, and then even Meltzer commented on it. Wow, 2 for 2 there. ECW does suck. It's ridiculous gimmicks, WWE-esque look, and fan backlash at "their" own home arena showed this. Chris Benoit needs to retire. Because he's done everything he needed to do. Hell, he even took time off because I think he's bored and doesn't want to risk injury now that his journey is through. Booker T needs to retire. Lots of people agree with this. He's funny, sure, but a shell of himself, and has never had a great WWE match. I think we'll see it by mid-2007, once the Smackdown! (if the show is around) show gets healthy. William Regal & Finlay need to retire. They have a unique style and can still go, but they're old and not quite the look a WWE needs if they're going to get popular again. Bobby Lashley needs to stop doing the spear. Edge does it, for one. And secondly, all the "Goldberg" comparisons (somewhat unfair, IMO) will continue when he blatantly uses a finisher already established by 2 top guys in their respective companies. Randy Orton is a horrible worker and terrible interview. Look for evidence of this elsewhere in this folder. Triple H is a great worker. Worked great bouts with Cena, a good Rumble effort, a shockingly awesome 3-way with Cena and Edge, and has been the best part of the DX reunion thus far. John Cena, despite still being very corny, has become a red-hot worker during March-June 2006. See: his adaptation to the fans in ONS, his Raw match with RVD, Backlash 3-way, WM main event. He rises to the occassion in 06. Actually WATCH the matches. Rob Van Dam's "big title win" was one of the worst botches I've ever seen. Come on, no one, from the Hammerstein fans, to the Raw smarks, thought the win would stand, thus they kinda went "meh". It shoulda been a big thing, in retrospect. So tell me, how my opinions are wrong? Maybe you can post more than a sentence, geniuses.

"Melina is a dog" Post a picture of a woman you've had that is prettier.

I guess Edge/RVD/Cena at SummerSlam. Cena pins Edge to win title, ECW disputes it.

Oh for fuck's sake.

BYE RVD

Rick Steiner-esque powerslam for 2.

No, it was led by Stevie Ray.

5KS...FU, RVD escapes. Stepover spin-wheel kick.

Warrior moveset!!!! Protoplex.

RVD is getting boo'd because he's the lead dog of a group worse than the NWO B-Team led by Stevie Ray.

RVD/Sabu is much more fun as the two of them being annoyed at each other rather than some silly hatred... Of course NEW ECW IS EXTREME.

Edge shows up. Not Sabu.

You can blame that on Lillian Garcia's ineptitude as a ring announcer.

Nice we got 45 seconds of action before a commercial.

75% boos for RVD, 50% for Cena. Is anyone liked in WWE?
