I think most of the Orton lovers are either really young (under 21) or really old. The young ones like him because theyre too young to remembers the previous eras when things were better and the oldies like him because he reminds them of an old time wrestler or a throw back. Those of us in the middle thus are more indifferent.

I'm sorry, but I'm not buying all the "Orton is awesome" hype, and I'm confident the bandwagon will soon start to slow down Personally, with all due respect, its most likely you who is late to the party. Not everyone going to a party that isn't there. How could everyone be wrong except you? First of all, I'm not saying everyone's wrong but me... It's an opinion, and I don't find the "new" Orton noticeably improved and more interesting than the "old" Orton. I know I'm part of a small minority, but who knows... maybe I'll change my mind in some months, or maybe the fad will just die down... We'll see... And I'm not late to the party... I'm willingly and happily NOT GOING to the party. The party is there because some people suddenly decided there was going to be a party... so they're making up the occasion, rather than having a party because it's a special day. [/quote] Hold on- where is this party you speak of?

Youre 29 youre old enough to remember the past 20 years and I cant believe someone who remembers all those years would say Orton deserves to be right there with those greats from the past 20 years.

I have a hard time comparing old greats to the new breed. No one (with the exception of the Undertaker and a few others) should be compared to the old greats, seeing as Orton and Cena have experienced a third of the length of their careers (barring injury). But with that said, Orton is doing an incredible job lately.

It's a nice little concept in which people have different opinions for different reasons and not slapping people into boxes because you feel you're right. You should try it.

And i can't believe that you don't believe that people can have a different opinion on what makes a good wrestler to you. And i STILL can't believe its not butter! Stick around, more Family Guy after this.

Those of us in the middle thus are more indifferent. "Better" is subjective, my friend. Better to you, perhaps, but maybe not to others. I'm 22 and I fully enjoyed the Attitude/Monday Night Wars era of wrestling, it was spectacular. And looking back on stuff the late 80's and very early 90's were quite good too. I still love the hell out of Orton, and I have since the beginning. You don't have to justify a group of people liking what they like. Let us do that.

I loved the 2004 Legend Killer Orton. I hoped off his bandwagon after his WM match with Taker because I stopped watching. But baby, I'm back on the Orton train! Woooo! Let the Age of Orton begin!

You're absolutely correct, anyone who likes Orton is a little kid who isn't smart enough to understand that the Attitude/Hulkamania/New Generation era was so much better, and how there's nothing redeeming about this current era whatsoever with every single aspect of the current WWE product horrible beyond belief because Vince is old, lazy, and doesn't care anymore. Right?

I'm a bit surprised even Heyman is falling victim of the "Hard-On for Orton",,, I still fail to see all that improvement... What they see as "conviction, confidence and malice", I still see them as "heel promo #3, delivered with the usual bored-dazed look and monotonous pseudo-serious voice of his" Not to mention Cody and Ted allegedly improving every time. How so? Tell me he didn't say that... HBK could own Orton at promos while being half asleep following dental anaesthesia... Just re-watch the promos of their feud, and tell me how Orton has improved... For crying out loud, I could find half a dozen of people who could own (or HAVE owned already) Randy on the stick... I'm sorry, but I'm not buying all the "Orton is awesome" hype, and I'm confident the bandwagon will soon start to slow down Personally, with all due respect, its most likely you who is late to the party. Not everyone going to a party that isn't there. How could everyone be wrong except you? Also due respect, but he ain't the only one. Orton's ok. he has improved quite a bit, but I still find him pretty bland the majority of the time. Sure they're pushing him, sure he's getting better, maybe he is ' the future' etc, but he still does very little for me personally. Until that changes and he does something really entertaining TO ME, I'll have to sit the party out as well. He's decent to good.. but I agree with Loki in not seeing the huge amounts of love, at least not yet.

The point is its one thing to say "I don't get it" or "He doesn't entertain me." Its another thing entirely to say that its a mistake, or that the bandwagon is gonna crash. If most everyone gets behind him, he must be doing something right.

I'm 18. I watched the attitude era. I firmly believe current Orton would have been well at home in that era, and in and around the top of the card.
He's on a great run at the moment and long may it continue.

I'll concede if the majority is on the bandwagon etc, they're doing something right. Personally I'd be glad to see something get more to want to come to said party, as I hear they'll have punch n pie.

Orton is the most entertaining person in the WWE with Miz/Morrison and Santino.
He really did make Ted/Cody look great last night.
They actually worked together in the Rumble, and Priceless didn't even care about winning. Good times. An actual stable that didn't do a cheap push of one of the members over the top rope and do the cliche, 'THERE ARE NO FRIENDS IN THE RUMBLE!'
Really made it look like they were a strong squad.

I love how Randy didn't blow them off after the match, but rather HE raised both of THEIR hands. They are the definition of a legit unit, working for the common good of their leader.
