Batista, Miz, Lex Luger all come to mind as making Randy look like Ric Flair in the 80's. I dunno about Batista. He took one of the best AA's from Cena in their Wrestlemania match. Dude flew like ten feet in the air.

Where's that .gif of Batista doing the delayed back roll against Mizark?

Cena for me is as bad. I think it was him and Ziggler in a cage. Ziggler did a huge drop kick off the top rope to Cena who was also on the top rope. Cena just basically jumped down, landed on his feet and flopped over. It really took me out of the match.

Well, his dad's forearm never healed correctly...
Sadly, he is scene as one of the "guys that consistently do it right" (re. Cena). Meanwhile, all of the indy guys with bad habits are rarly ever injured.

I misread this as "worst dump taker ever". Many gym bags would beg to differ.

Meanwhile, all of the indy guys with bad habits are rarly ever injured. Cena's had freak injuries, none of them were related to him taking a bump wrong. Orton's injuries are mainly because of his bad shoulders. And those "indy guys with bad habits" wouldn't last a year in the WWE schedule with the way some of them take basic bumps.

...and sadly the best bump on Raw tonight was Heath Slater taking the hurricanrana from the Los Matadores bull. That was one of the best headscissor sells I've seen period.

I'm referring to the comment HHH made to Jericho about the Performance Center being a good thing because now they don't have to hire anymore indy guys like Generico and Samurai, since they pick up "bad habits".

Someone upload the montage of him selling the sweet chin music perfectly There's a difference between bumping & selling. Randy's a hell of a seller, he's a solid bumper, but not among the best(which is probably a good idea for him because he has an injury prone history).

Randy Orton may not always bump well, but he's not the worst bump taker ever. That honour goes to Mil Mascaras.

Never found myself taken out of a match with him in because of it, so I can't agree.
Fair play to protect himself imo

I remember reading on this board that Orton has some kind of genetic disorder that makes it easier for him to dislocate his shoulders. It is a real condition, but I'm not sure if he suffers from it. If he does however, it could explain why he is cautious about bumping.

I can't remember who he was facing, it may have been Wade Barrett but it was on Smackdown last year. Orton is on the apron, and there's a table behind him. He takes a big boot to the face or something similar, and just stands there for a second...then falls slowly like a tree into the table. It was hilariously bad.

Eventually he had them both surgically operated on and they're fine now.

Did this really happen? Did Jericho say it or something else credible? Because otherwise that sounds like smarkbait rumor. Triple H seems if anything to be all about hiring indy guys since more have been hired since he has taken over developmental. Furthermore probably the reason why indy guys with bad habits seem to not get injured is that a lot of them actually work through minor injuries that would result in time off in the WWE. Concussions especially. And I strongly agree on the point about the schedule for WWE guys being harsher.

Yeah pretty sure he said that. I took from the interview that they were going to rely mostly on talent they had built from scratch in the performance centre rather than pick up indy guys.

I do remember that article/interview. I didn't see it as shutting out indy guys, more acknowleging some of them need retraining and it's sometimes easier to start from scratch with someone you see a lot of potential in. A good mix of both is always best. Take SCSA/Rock, Austin wrestled in World Class and WCW for half his career before coming to the WWF, while Rocky is a pure WWF product. There's no forumla, it's about the people.
