Seriously, I've gotten to where I really like him alright, and I will say this for creative, they've done a great job at making Rated RKO look like badasses.

It's more the little touches than the total package that make me like him.
Just looking at him, he's a rather boring fellow with a slow, uninteresting way of speaking and average wrestling ability, even by WWE standards.
But I love things like when he'll keep going for the chinlock, knowing that people hate the move ... the Garvin Stomp ... the mid-match pose and little grin ... how he'll run into a match, hit the RKO, and roll immediately out and stroll off like nothing happened ... the strange and unnecessary Ninja Rolls ... how his butt looks in those tights ... wait, scratch that.
Orton isn't bad at all, really.
... I wonder how he'd look in stirrups ...

I like Orton, always have. (besides his short face run)

If he'd change his ways of selling, it'd be all good for Mr. Orton.

I've never had a problem with Orton. Glad to hear he's grown on ya.

I think he is a very effective heel.

If he could mix in a chancery or a cravatte with the regular chinlocks and headlocks, he'd be gold. Make him watch Joe vs. Punk 1&2 to see how to apply the rest holds effectively, then tell him to do the opposite and make them make no sense just to make the crowd angry. I would like to see Orton start to do a power move as a set up for the RKO though. Just a legit signature #2 move. The kind of thing that puts away Scotty 2 Hotty/Eugene, but not the guys that matter to Orton. He could get massive heel heat if he started to use the double arm DDT or Y2J's double underhook backbreaker, for example.

Orton is good as Edge's lackey. As long as he's not pushed as a main eventer he'll be fine.

Me and a friend of mine used to get in debates all the time between who was better between Batista and Orton(this was pre Batista title run, post Orton title run) and I always said Batista was better, but lately I'm more in Orton's favor, he's really won me over. I'll always remember fondly though the time when I could gloat that there was a time where Orton's claim to fame was hiding in a cake to thwart the evil Evolution.

He's only going to progress into an awesome heel. He's made great strides.

Orton praise? On THESE forums...   I actually don't mind the guy either. I marked for him in Evolution, and then went to just thinking he was alright after the face turn. He keeps going the way he is right now, and he'll have me marking again. |

Chinlocks be damned I've been a mark for him since his Hardcore rules match against Foley back at Backlash 2004.

Not me. I've tried. I've tried hard to like both him and Edge. But to me each is only worth a bucket of cold urine.
I have HATED the main event scene on Raw. I've spoke on Rated RKO, I don't like DX at all, I've never liked Cena, and I have considered Umaga a joke since his debut.

Always good as a heel, because he knows it well. He tried being face, but it seemed that don't fit the Randy Orton persona for now.
