Guest Dazed Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Oh good, another "does Orton suck" thread - I think we've seen enough of those, and this certainly isn't the place to bang on about it again. I really, REALLY don't want to lock this, so try and get back on-topic, please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markme123 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2004 If its Orton vs Edge then it can only lead to BORING chants. Like the ones during their match on Raw? the meant you were being sarcastic right? :s Certainly did. Hell, Orton was getting face heat from noticeable sections of the crowd. Orton can only bump so much until he ends up in the middle of the ring with the 3 minute headlock, armbar, bodyscissors combo that leads people scratching their heads in confussion. It will come to a point where Edge does nothing but Spears and Orton trying to oversell bumps since neither have an idea what to do in the ring. Which is exactly what he has to do if he doesn't want to get "fussed" at. Did you not hear about the Rhyno fiasco a while back when he didn't do the rest holds spot? And Vince McMahon I think it was? came out and stopped the match because he said it was boring or something. I, along with most wrestling fans don't like it...but regardless the WWE is going with this "new style" of using rest holds 70% of the match. So it's not like it's Orton's fault, or he's the only one doing it. Even on SD, where they have all the people capable of doing spot matches..they do the same thing, with the Duds putting someone in a 5 min resthold...so it's not his fault that's what he does for some of the time in his matches. Actually, if I remember correctly, Vince came out when Rhyno *was* using restholds. Not because "he didn't do the rest holds spot". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Champ Report post Posted May 25, 2004 I personally love the promotional poster. It this the foreshadow for the main event for Venegeance, as my prediction is Benoit vs Orton for the world title. What I would do is have a Wargames type match-up as your mainevent, as Evolution vs Chris Benoit, Shelton Benjamin, HBK, and Edge. Or even if you want to do a 5 man wargames and place Kane on Evolution side and Jericho on Benoit team. This would be a good idea, as this would be a great build to the potiental matches for Summerslam 2004. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted May 25, 2004 Man, the poster looks as if the IC Championship contest will be the top draw. That or... Orton's getting his shot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dazed Report post Posted May 25, 2004 Promo posters tend to mean nothing, as they are printed way in advance. Wasn't Booker T on the Backlash poster? I swear I make this post every month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted May 25, 2004 Looks like Orton's back exploded. I'm thinking this means it's Benoit vs. Orton for the World title at Vengeance, which is great because it elevates Orton and gives Benoit another credible opponent to get a victory over.

Jericho2000Mark 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2004 After the Tag match last week, I would pay to see Benoit-Orton...and I'm as big an Orton hater as anybody! They had some great sequences in the match, and I especially liked how Orton sold Benoit's chops and clotheslines. They really meshed well IMO. Before Benoit's reign ends, I would like to see PPV Title defenses against Jericho and Orton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His entire usefulness is to have that one awesome singles match with Benoit, anyway(where he sells like a motherfucker and puts Benoit over). I could care less what happens to him after that.
