"It’s been well established in recent weeks that WWE Champion Randy Orton isn’t afraid to rock the boat. He’s formed something of a clique with wrestlers such as MVP, Umaga, Rey Mysterio, Carlito, and one or two others. One of the ways he flexes his power in front of the group is to needle Shawn Michaels. For instance, one of the running gags that Orton has played is to wait for Michaels walks by and then say something like, “What an f---in’ bum,” just loud enough so that Michaels would hear him, yet not know for sure whether the comment is directed at him. These verbal ribs have drawn a lot of laughs from Orton's pals.

First off, while MVP in a close clique with Mysterio isn't anything new.....and if that Umaga/HBK petty fit at Iraq is true*...interesting that we have Klique 2.0 on us.
Also From ProWrestling.Net:
"Although he is friendly with everyone in the locker room and the wrestlers respect his work ethic, John Cena is also considered a “kiss ass” by some. Wrestlers say it was not uncommon for Cena to talk strategy or just hang out with Vince McMahon for over an hour on television days before Cena was sidelined by his recent injury. “Cena is definitely Vince’s boy and that’s why Triple H doesn’t even try to f--- with him,” one source tells Prowrestling.net. While Randy Orton is viewed as someone who will stand up to the old guard on occasion, Cena is viewed as a company man. "

What I don't get about this "report" is....how is Cena considered a kiss-ass? While Trips was categorized as such during the infamous Klique of the 1990s, I've never heard any rumors or reports of Cena politicking or doing anything that makes me despise the guy....and considering the smark hatred of Cena, one would think such reports would have been posted by now, if they existsed...right?
While I think Cena's current persona is bland and boring, I don't hate the guy nor think he's a terrible wrestler. He's got charisma, physically and on the stick...when he's allowed to.
In fact, the only time I've heard any heat at Cena was back in 2005/06 when Jericho slapped him for getting the "silver platter treatment" without the hard work in earning it. Of course, considering Jericho....take that in context.
*=Which I don't think it is, quite honestly.
