I have a difficult time hating Randy Orton, given his ability to sell like a proverbial bitch and take some painful-looking bumps. He may be average on the stick, and lack the ability to put moves together in an interesting combination, but damn it if he can't sell and bump.

 

Agreed. He has the ability to be good one day... it's a shame he was given so much so soon.

I just wanted to chime in and say that i'm sick of that "heel pulls up protective padding, tries a powerbomb/piledriver, gets backdropped" spot that was used during Orton/Benoit.

 

If a heel actually pulls it off, or any variation (see: HHH's Concussive Pedigree vs. Angle (and Rock) during SumSlam 00) then it's alright, but the chances of it happening are very rare (as the HHH example was the only one I could really think up quickly)

Did Austin piledrive Angle at Unforgiven 01?

I thought HHH's pedigree on Angle was through a table?

I think it was at a TV taping leading up to it. Angle had to be carried away in a neck-brace, but came back by the end of the show.
