Anyone else tired of seeing Randy kick people?

[Lionheart]

OK, yeah, we get it, he injures legendary wrestlers. The longer they keep this going the more they call attention to how silly this actually is. They could at least come up with different ways for him to hurt people instead of the identical formulaic skull-punt every time.

It's been all downhill in terms of credibility of said legendary opponents since he dented HBK, anyway. I mean, Sgt. Slaughter? What's next, they bring out Superstar Billy Graham and have Randy kick him out of his wheelchair?

If they have him concuss Hogan, I'll mark. Otherwise, give it a rest already.

[Captain Sunhat]

The one man conchairto would have worked better

[saggyboyflair]

Maybe I'm confusing him with somebody else, I thought I had read that he's in a wheelchair now because of old injuries...some sort of fracas at an art museum involving his wheelchair being too high. Sound familiar to anyone?

The point is that Orton doesn't come off looking like a badass when he lays out 60-ish guys who haven't been in a ring on a regular basis in a decade or more.

Edit: superstarbillygraham.net/record.html

My name is Billy Graham. I am a former World Wrestling Entertainment Champion. I am an author, an artist, a liver transplant survivor, a diabetic and a victim of catastrophic bone loss do to the disease known as avascular necrosis. My doctor, a world renowned orthopedic surgeon calls this condition, the death of a bone and it is unforgivably painful.

This past Tuesday my wife Valerie and I came to the Phoenix Art Museum to see the Rembrandt exhibit. The greeter at the door mockingly asked me, and I quote, "Where do you think you are going with that chair? ; I said, This is my wheel chair, and I am going in to see the Rembrandt exhibit. I then went to the ticket counter, sat on my chair and waited for Valerie to come in and purchase our tickets.

We then started walking toward the exhibit and I was stopped by Heather Paulk, who rudely told me and I quote "You cannot come in with that chair; I asked why, and she said "your chair is too high and you might fall off of it into a painting. The security team offered me a wheel chair that they provided and I turned it down because it did not conform to my personal disability needs. After a back and forth discussion Valerie said "So you are not going to let us in?"; the response was "no we are not". Valerie then asked if we could get a refund and they answered yes. As Valerie left to go get the car, I informed the security team that I would be suing the Museum for discrimination.

This was an extremely humiliating, embarrassing and degrading event, making me feel like I was toxic and my presence was going to contaminate their building. I was rejected, then subjected to an enormous amount of cruelty. I am angry and saddened at missing the opportunity of a lifetime to see my favorite Master, Rembrandt. This has been a defining moment in my life. This great institution tried to rob me of my dignity but they have failed. This shameful and traumatic event has caused me to become an activist for the rest of my life, I will now be a defender of the disabled.

I was wrong, it wasn't injuries.

Where are we in professional wrestling when kicking someone as hard as possible in the head, usually a shot at the temple, is considered something weak?

I like what they're doing with this. They're having these kicks mean a lot so that when bigger moves happen, they become more special. Back in the day, a guy like Dick Murdoch would sell a punch like crazy.

But they aren't. Bigger moves now look smaller because Orton can put a guy of action indefinitely with his magic toes of doom.

But I'm not even complaining about the kicks per se, I'm complaining about the exact same thing happening over and over with opponents of increasingly questionable credibility. I mean, they might as well do a video package of him knocking down random elderly people on the street and then kicking them.

To be fair, Sgt. Slaughter was pretty good credibility based on his past. A lot of the older wrestlers are getting put out with 1 severe kick to the head after long careers with injuries, where as younger guys like Rob Van Dam and Shawn Michaels get put out with multiple shots.

I think it adds to the drama when Orton does it, because he usually sizes up who he's going to do it to. Plus when it's shown of what he's done to people, people know it's coming, and when it's established, it can be countered and stuff and get pops from the crowd.

[DSR]

Plus, kicking old people in the face makes him look like a super-prick. I'm not tired of it at all. And it's working a lot better than a full nelson the Masterlock.

[odor31]

I like it. It's an on going thing that personifies his character right now

[The OP]

Am I tired of it?

No.

JR said "Oh my Gawd! Can you believe it?"

Yes JR. Yes I can believe it.

[Ace Diamond]

I was tired of it when it started.

[mo]

Nope, it's awesome

[emoney3265]

I love it. Orton is one of my favorite people in WWE even though my top markings don't have him on it... I haven't had time to update it.

[Crappler El 0 M]

Did anyone else catch JR basically say something like, "This is beginning to happen way too much."

[knightboat]

He's gearing up for a soccer gimmick, or Rockettes, either way it's all gravy

Here's hoping Keira Knightley will star in "Bend It Like Orton." I'd go see it.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

When Orton starts preparing for it, the crowd have to do this...

"Anyone else tired of seeing Randy kick people?"

Nope, not me. I love how he really is becoming such a maniacal asshole (on television) as of late. I think it's working pretty well, and I even get a kick out of how Lawler and Ross try to make it seem as devastating as it possibly can be. Too bad he didn't kick Cena tonight, that would've made an already cool show even better for me.
