Guest oldschoolwrestling Report post Posted July 22, 2003 I wouldn't be suprised to see him take the belt from Booker T. They want to be like the Horsemen, so I imagine at some point they'll hold just about all the belts at the same time. They just need a tagteam to join the fold.

Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Report post Posted July 22, 2003 Don't forget the Dudleys. He pinned all 3 in one match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted July 22, 2003 Didn't he get all three pins in the elimination match last week as well? I for one do not understand why everyone is making an issue of this. They want to push Orton and to me, are doing a good job. I do not judge this by 'smark' opinion, but rather my mates who are more casual fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted July 22, 2003 Imagine if they put 1/10 the effort into some one the fans give 2 craps about. Of course, I really wonder if they'll feed the most talented Cliq member and HHH's best friend to Orton before the IC program. I'm surprised they haven't decided to feed Nash to Orton. Nash isn't much good for anything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Goldust thing was before the big push. Plus, he had help from Bautista. Two guys beat up one guy. WHAT A PUSH! 2. He ran interference and ambushed an exhausted Kane. WHAT A PUSH! 3. He won two matches. WOW! 4. He ambushed a non-wrestler backstage WOW! 5. How can helping someone be "single-handed?" And didn't Flair help too? And didn't Y2J work the back for 20 minutes? Nevermind that... WHAT A PUSH! Worst Post Ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Nathan_Avara Report post Posted July 22, 2003 I'm liking it, but it could be done better. So he beat the Dudleyz. They haven't been over in a year. Dreamer? WWE jobs him to everyone already no loss. Val? HAHAHA. As Retro Rob pointed out in his Booking Report, it was made to look like HHH did all the work in that six man. He may not be the next Kurt Angle, but seriously in another 6 or 7 years, I could see him with a world title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Adrian 3:16 Report post Posted July 23, 2003 So far Randy Orton has: Electricuted Goldust and made him stutter obsenities The nerve! OMG PLZ GOLDST GET BETTR SOON!11 LOLZ Beat Val Venus and Tommy Dreamer mercilessly He beat Val. It was hardly mercilessly, it was a standard issue 2 minute Raw match. And I like Dreamer, but let's be real here- the guy is a jobber after all. Even in his heyday in ECW, his specialty was getting his ass kicked. Tossed Mick Foley down a flight of stairs And don't tell me he knows how to fall! The whole Orton backlash is one of the reasons I don't take 95% of "smarks" seriously, and why presumbaly WWE doesn't either. Smarks: Push new stars WWE! *WWE pushes a new star by the name of Randy Orton* Smarks: OMG Orton sux! Me: I thought you wanted new stars? Smarks: No we meant guys like Benoit and Booker T Me: So you don't really want NEW stars at all then. Smarks: .... Don't worry, whenever the day comes they push him for a title shot HHH will cut him off at the knees like all the rest, and then you can all breathe easy. Remember, if your personal favorites can't get pushed, then no one can BAH GAWD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted July 23, 2003 Maybe the bookers are doing a Goldberg with Orton. I feel sad. [email protected] was a much better "gimmick". Seeing how you brought up the RNN/Get Well Randy thing... Didn't everyone love the guy during that period of time? Now he is one of the most hated men in the WWE because he associates with HHH? That is the only difference I see from when he was liked as compared to now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Adrian 3:16 Report post Posted July 23, 2003 Seeing how you brought up the RNN/Get Well Randy thing... Didn't everyone love the guy during that period of time? Yes. Yes they did. I'd also like to point out he never actually did anything during that time period, but apparently mock news reports are a better use of the guy than him winning matches. Now he is one of the most hated men in the WWE because he associates with HHH? And the funniest part is, he's buddies with HHH in a STORYLINE and he's the new public enemy #1. Shows you no matter how knowledgable to the business the posters here may think they are, a lot of them are downright marks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I'd like to throw in that I'm not against the Randy Orton push. He just needs a few house show tours with Benoit or Jericho to get better. Given that he will probably "retire" Michaels and I'm betting Foley as well by the end of the year, I think "uber-push" is somewhat fitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Adrian 3:16 Report post Posted July 23, 2003 What is the problem? When we say we want new stars we mean GOOD new stars. Why is it bad for us to complain when they push someone new that we hate? Because you hate everybody. No mystery there. Orton: we hate him because he's in a stable with HHH and he has family connections! Cena: he can't wrestle as good as Kurt Angle, so he must suck! Plus I hate rap LOLZ O'Haire: He's just another hoss with no moves! Never mind I've never actually seen him in WCW! Brock: he got the belt too fast! Batista: He took steroids! Eddie Guerrero would never do that! Haas and Benjamin: they wrestle good but they're so green! I know, they should make Benjamin rap and make Haas Satanic! Why can't WWE think of good characters like that?! If you guys just want to convert WWE to the Chris Benoit and Friends Happy Variety Hour, that's fine. But at least come out and say as much instead of pretending you actually want some new faces, than bitching when you get them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Bruiser Chong Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I'm not all for the Orton push, but as far as Booker goes, he's stated that he'd like to retire within the next year or two, so whether he can work two years from now isn't really relevant since if he goes along with it, he won't even be wrestling anymore.

Guest nWoScorpion Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I'd like to see Randy Orton be a big thing in the futurew, but not NOW, he's only been on the main roster a year (Minus injury time, maybe 5-6 months) and doesn't disserve to be fighting main event matches (incase they decide to do HBK/Orton). He's starting to make me tolerate HHH more and more every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
