Sometimes, I wish that they would just be consistent.

That, too, has been explained, and they addressed the past bad blood.
You're basically saying I wish they'd do something ... that they already did.
Perhaps they should do a special 4-hour Raw, with two hours recounting the entirity of past dealings between Orton and Triple H and then a two-hour explanation of something they already explained.
And what I'm getting at, is that with this kayfabe-reality angle they keep trying to accomplish, the LEAST that you can do, is acknowledge when it doesn't make any god damn sense.
Triple H is like, man, I hate this guy, but he is what we need. Doing so while ignoring the crowd. And fans. Now that is for the heel heat, I'd reckon. HOWEVER, why are they basing the main storyline around this? If people don't want to see this guy in the main event, and they are making it known by chanting boring at him when he fights people, then HOW is it best for business?
We haven't been watching the same show, I guess. I have heard and seen numerous times that it has been addressed. You're basically saing it's not enough, Orton was so vile and foul previously that they shouldn't be able to work with him. But that is true of pretty much every player on the roster in some respect if you dig up every feud in history. It's wrestling. If you carried the weight of every past feud you couldn't have a show.
It's on two levels:
Kayfabe/storyline: The evil corporate bosses, HHH and Stephanie, don't think that these indie-darling guys like Bryan and Punk can carry the company. They believes in a more WWE-branded guy with history in the company. They look around and determine that the person who best fits that is someone they have negative personal business with, Orton. They put the power of the Authority behind him because even if they don't like or completely trust him, it's best for business.
Reality: WWE needs Alpha heels because there aren't any. CM Punk failed miserably when he was given that spot, had to resort to forced "your team sucks" tricks to get moderate heat from a crowd that wanted to adore him. If you don't have top-tier heels, you can't make faces -- faces of WWE or babyfaces. Stone Cold could have flipped off every person in the company, drank an ocean of beer and stunnered every single person on the roster and without Vince McMahon as the evil corporate figure opposing him he wouldn't have gotten over.
So they are creating heat on HHH and Orton, or trying to.
I think Orton gets strong reaction from the crowds. Is he the most over heel in history? No. But he's the most over heel on the roster. I'd love to know what you think the alternatives could be.
I have trouble understanding or believing that you don't get this.
