I remember this, this is when Orton was actually interesting. Agreed. Not to say I've given up on Orton, I haven't, but he needs refreshing.

1) She was pretty good looking. 2) I thought it was a nice touch that made him look a little bit more heelish. I thought he was going to do something at first. I thought she was a 'plant.' Anyway, I have to agree with your two points. She was a plant, Randy was probably caught off guard seeing her there. Later in the night, she gave Eugene a teddy bear during his tag match. I think I can remember reading about her being a girlfriend of one of the wrestlers on the show.

I knew this would be Bad Blood. I remember getting the DVD and being very impressed with this promo. Orton's IC title reign was damn good.

Now I am still, and have been, a Randy Orton fan since his promos counting down his return from his hurt arm. So seeing this and thinking back makes me wonder if maybe somehow he's lost confidence in his mic skills. He seems a little to self conscience these days. Anyone else see this?

Orton was so damn good at this time...he did make the IC title seem important again
You never really realize what you have till its gone, and this Orton was one of the best heels of this decade IMO

Evolution's music at the end was the best part of that video.

I think Orton has been hindred by some very uncreative ideas from the writing team. When you have someone with the smugness, dislikeability, looks and female fanbase as Orton it just seems bizarre not to push his looks and sex appeal therefore getting into a situation where the guys hate him because their girls want to do him. Kind of like what Shawn Michaels was back in the 90's. Instead he gets given a dull haircut, dull music, dull promos and the 'legend killer' gimmick which died a death a year and a half ago.
He should be cocky, brash, aggressive....instead he's just....dull. They give him promos to read which are as boring as hell and don't progress his personality past "I'm going to beat you". Wooooo.

Evolution's music at the end was the best part of that video. I think the evolution music, especially because of it's tone, matches Orton more than his current theme, in his current menacing strategist character. Plus his character 'evolved' from being a ocky arrogant pretty boy jerk, to his suave psycho character.

Orton just dosen't have it. I mean some guys shouldn't be main eventers and Orton is one of those guys, sure his IC Title reign was fine but look at WHC and WWE Title reigns, they have been terrible and have generated no interest in him. Seriously WWE should push up MVP and push down Orton because at least MVP takes spots and doesn't do 1,000,000 rest holds in a match.
Also it's not like they haven't tried to get him over with the fans they gave him feuds and matches with Foley, Benoit, HBK, Flair, The Undertaker, HHH, Angle, Cena and now with Jericho and he still is boring.

I think its this "cold blooded" heel thing that makes it hard for him to sound charismatic. Hes just suppose to talk with no emotion and thats why his promos aint this good anymore...
