I.E.D

[Brick Killed a Guy]

I'm still marking out for the guy who yelled "HE CAN'T READ" and made Orton turn around and look at the crowd.

[Snitsky]

How awesome would it be for legacys faction to include ortons lawyers and therapist who accompany him to the ring for all future matches...i would mark hard if rev theory accompany him singing voices every time randy is seen on TV LOL LOL

[Kae]

IED is a real disorder, but Orton (in kayfabe) certainly doesn't have it. He's had his lawyers go through the DSM-IV to look for a likely condition, and is now using it as an excuse to keep himself from getting fired. It's meant to be a douchebag tactic.

[Steveweiser]

It's apparently linked to steroid use. Way to go, WWE.

[sloride]

Yep, here's the quote from the Observer.

It probably wasn't the smartest idea for World Wrestling Entertainment to explain Randy Orton's recent rash of behavior by saying that he had IED (Intermittent Explosive Disorder). According to a variety of medical web sites, IED is defined as "a behavioral disorder characterized by extreme expressions of anger, often to the point of uncontrollable rage." What was even more interesting is that some medical web sites even link it to steroid use. Reports indicate that IE can be exacerbated by steroid use based on chemical changes in the person's brain. Personally I would of just scripted it that he had Schizophrenia.

Um, anyone think of a certain person whilst reading that?

Where did you get that from? I read the exact opposite

The DSM-IV criteria for IED include: the occurrence of discrete episodes of failure to resist aggressive impulses that result in violent assault or destruction of property, the degree of aggressiveness expressed during an episode is grossly disproportionate to provocation or precipitating psychosocial stressor, and, as previously stated, diagnosis is made when other mental disorders that may cause violent outbursts (e.g., antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, etc.) have been ruled out. Furthermore, the acts of aggression must not be due to a general medical condition, e.g., a head injury, Alzheimer’s disease, etc., or due to substance abuse or medication

Not the best source though...

Well on the free radio show last night Meltzer was suggesting the whole storyline might be based on the proposed lawsuit that the Benoit family want to file against WWE, along with their general hatred of lawyers and lawsuits that aren't their own. So WWE wants us to all join in that moral crusade with Orton as the symbol of people not taking responsibility for their actions - and I definitely can see that side of the argument, I just don't think it's as black and white as it is wrestling storylines - as they don't know what to do about all the cheers he gets.

I know you're joking but Randy made up that excuse in a way that he could look dumb kinda... I mean nobody is supposed to believe he has it. I don't think anybody can die from this, can they? either way, I laughed when Randy said it. Dunno why.

HOnestly I think it fits his gimmick perfectly. They are finally going the crazy route with him which is great because that is what he is good at.

His theme music is perfect now. They aren't trying to present him with a disorder as in Eugene. they are going in the direction of him having a therapist and being madman.

I really really like where htye are going with Orton and The Legacy.

[SAJ Forth]

When I first heard it, I thought he'd say "That stands for I'm an Egotistical D-Bag".

So it is wrong for me to root for Orton in this?

Well WWE doesn't want you to, but you should exercise your personal choice . I just hope it doesn't lead to more Raws like last night's.

That's what left me thinking whether Orton's condition is a shoot turned into an angle. It probably isn't, but frankly it wouldn't surprise me as creative is very open to that kind of thing, just look at Jeff Hardy's recent angles.

[Bullhead]

Am I the only one who laughed while he was explaining it and hoped that the D stood for diahrrea?

What was wrong with last night's RAW? I thought it was the best one since angle-wise since the whole Anarchy RAW from last summer when JBL brought out his special security and declared Martial Law and the main event was like Cena and cryme Tyme against someone else.

the matches last night were pretty short but storyline wise I think all was done very well except for Shane's weak punches.

Meltzer reading way too much into things and generally stirring up shit? Nah, not him...

Anyone bitching about this is a clueless moron (not digging at the OP, this is a generalization). The only people who have the right to bitch are people with the disease, but the fact is there is a flipside, I dont think many people knew of this disorder existing and if this gives it more exposure, that could be a good thing.
The fact it shares an abbreviation with something doesnt mean its offensive. Its your own lack of knowledge that causes that.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_explosive_disorder

I for one had never heard of the disease before last night. And you make a good point, this angle could make people become more aware and those who legit have it be more open about having it.

Also, the medical community can't help that the military stole their abbreviation (or the opposite way....depending on who used it first).

Exactly. Meltzer tries to stir up crap all the time these days because hardly anyone buys his crap anymore. I'd be willing to bet he works for eight different magazines writing little articles for very little money.

Maybe he really had to go and thought that just running away from Vince would look weak.
