{Spoiler}Orton apparently injured yet another time. Will this guy ever stay healthy? I wonder if WWE has serious reservations about building major, long-term angles around a guy who can't stay off the injured reserve list. What do you think? |

Sugar, spice, and everything nice.
It's just that they accidentally put in Dianabol instead of Chemical X and Randy Orton popped out.

Is there really an upside to Orton anymore? 2 strikes, gets injured a lot, and doesn't always have the best attitude.

At this point, he's definitely behind Cena, Ryback and Sheamus as a main face and possibly even behind Bryan, Kane and Miz. He's on the same level as Kofi now, I think. |

He's actually injured? I thought it was a movie writeout.

I actually don't think Orton should be turned heel; the one and only thing he really has left going for him is his overness. Might as well use him like Rey, as a face who can hang with the main eventers but who still regularly takes clean losses to build up guys who are moving up to feud with more important people.

Yeah, I think this is their best bet. I'd also really like to see him as maybe a one-off challenger to Punk, if they have an open spot at some PPV to insert the match. And it would never happen, but I'd love to see him have a go at the tag titles with Cena. I don't know why, but I think it would at least be interesting. The point is, the guy's over and puts on great matches, so there's tons of things they could do with him, as long as they know not to put him anywhere vital to the show. |

Oh, it's just another holiday season Orton vacation. Whether he's thrown down a flight of stairs or beat up by some Big Bossmen, he'll be back for WM.

Unless you're speaking booking terms, you good sir, are nuts. He's still the #2 (#1 in my opinion) over guy behind Cena |

Cena is obviously #1, Punk is #2, Bryan is #3, and Ryback is #5. I love Bryan but #3 is a wee bit generous. I'd say it goes Cena, Punk, Sheamus, Orton, Ryback, Bryan (the last two are basically tied). |
