That man was on fire during the Pandemic. He was motivated and everything from promos to ring work (I give the Mania match a pass with Edge) he really had everything clicking
When Randy is motivated there are very few like him. His run over the last few years was probably the most motivated and fun he had in his career with his face turn and tag team with Riddle also being a major higlight

Honestly from 2020 on he was really on fire. Everything worked and everything clicked. It was a shame it all ended due to injury.

That man was on fire during the Pandemic. No, no, he lit someone else on fire during the pandemic. Silly mistake.

He violently beat up a bunch of old people with the power of night vision.

Man, I’ve been a fan since ‘08. So, I’ve really appreciated Orton since then. It’ll be a Damn tragedy if his career ends this way, but at the same time, he had a hell of a run.
As for pandemic Randy. Man was a “menace” as the kids say. Night vision goggles and all.

Orton seemed to be one of the guys who really benefited from how crowdless shows could be edited so that murders were a thing that could happen just a little bit more believably.

Randy Orton in the pandemic era nailed EVERYTHING regardless of how f***ing stupid some of the stuff that he had to do was. Calculon Orton best actor of the pandemic.

He did his best.
I still don't know why they had him lose like 4 times in a row to Drew and then win a title match though.

I actually found him really boring around that time and didn't get into him again until RK-Bro. I struggled to enjoy most of the pandemic era stuff though because it was just kind of depressing watching wrestling shows with tiny or zero crowds.
