All I know is this:
Either a guy kicked Orton in the nuts for real only to have Orton get up, no sell the nut shot, kick him in the face and then flip him off as some guitar riff presumably went off in the background causing Vince to immediately think not "I shall never have tours in South Africa again" but rather "THIS IS AMAZING PUBLICITY!"
OR
This is a worked angle focused around someone kicking Orton in the balls.
Either possibility fills my heart with an endless amount of joy.

He nailed Orton square in his Desmond Tutus.

The first thing I thought when seeing the video was "Wow, what an awesome but weird way to debut Leo Kruger"
Sadly, I no longer think it is him

This could have been avoided if Randy went to Australia instead.

"The extent of Orton's injuries are unknown at this time." PFFT, yeah OK, what a brutal beatdown, right?
If anything, they should just take advantage of the opportunity and retcon the fan as Leo Kruger.

With all of these parts, it seems much more likely that it's a mix of the two: It's not a "worked angle" for WWE's side, but the parts already said also make it clear whoever the guy is had to be trained. Put it together: I'm betting the "crazed fan" is some local indy wrestler who wanted to take the opportunity to make a name for himself and try to become a big national star.

At least that guy was smart enough to attack Randy during the show because had he tried that in the parking lot, Orton would have hit the dude with his luggage. Shit would literally hit the fan at that point. Orton craps in his own bags? This latest divorce has taken a mental toll on Randy.

I'm not saying that it has to be a work, but why would WWE put up the video and have the news on their front page?
Okay, "to get hits", but is it worth it? You'd think that giving attention to an idiot like that would only inspire more. I liked how they for example edited out the guy who attacked Eddie during the ladder match for DVDs. It's like saying "You know, you don't matter one bit, and you don't get any glory for interfering".

If anything, they should just take advantage of the opportunity and retcon the fan as Leo Kruger. They'd have to have him lick Orton and try to skin him after the Low blow then. Then shout "TA-DA!" as he got dragged away. Honestly, I half expected it to turn out to be something like that.

I like how he sold thinking it was another wrestler and then was all "wtf?"

He's seen new wrestlers debut by jumping the barricade and attacking others wrestlers. I like to imagine he now thinks he's gonna get a WWE contract and a match with Orton.

This is definitely a work, the Chyna style low blow gives it away.

I like the idea that the guy could have stabbed him and Orton's first thought would be "That's odd, I didn't know we were doing a sneak attack, sell sell sell".
I guess his second thought, as he felt the blood ooze out of his back, would be "That's odd, I didn't know Jesus had resigned".

Um, shouldn't the name of this thread be "Fan attacks Orton"?
Dude followed Yoda's advice and did, not tried....

Also I love how the fan gave him a worked low blow, didn't even want to harm him.
