 I'd like us to take a moment to appreciate what I personally think was the best tag team in WWE around 2006-07. I f***ing loved Rated RKO. Edge & Orton were my favourites at the time, so seeing the two of them unite and act like such glorious douchebags was amazing. They put on some great matches with DX, had a sweet mashup theme and just oozed sleaze. Oh, and the matching mechanic vests were pretty sweet too. |

It was cool, but for Edge was a step down from the Rated R Superstar with Lita days.

In retrospect, that team had a stupid name.
But damn it they were just the best thing on television.

Rated RKO's feud with D-X was the reason I started watching again.

Not as good as Cryme Tyme though.

As far as "trying to match two songs that are completely different in every way possible and make it into a mashup theme", their entrance theme wasn't bad either.

Loved them together. Orton's bruised face after getting hit with the sledgehammer was awesome.

Rated RKO was like the fantasy super heel team from 2006. John Cena joining DX would have been the face version.

 I loved their double RKO finisher, and the vests |

Man, Orton just seems so directionless today by comparison.
This whole thing really upped Randy's charisma.

They should have had a quick blowoff match at WM23 instead of being uselessly placed in the MITB match.

This is one of the few things from 2006 that I missed out on and really want to go back and watch. Could see these two being so good together at that time.

The tag team that made me fall in love with Orton when I started watching in 2009.

I created a team of Edge and Orton in early 2006 in whatever game was out at that time and called them Rated RKO and was excited when it appeared on TV with the exact name I was using!
My only complaint is it didn't last long enough.
