Amazak 2 weeks ago#1 Source F4WOnline On Friday's edition of the Edge and Christian podcast, Randy Orton made an appearance to discuss the current state of WWE and the time he's spent in the ring with the hosts of the show. Orton made fun of his own metabolism slowing down and said he needs to get a little better with that, then joked about how Kevin Owens has it figured out. "He started fat and he'll finish fat," Orton said. "He's trying to get himself over as the fat guy that can fight. Bless his heart. That's great. I'm jealous." Christian mentioned "bad physique heat" where heels get away with being out of shape because it works with their persona, with Orton saying that he likes the term and shifting the conversation to him currently being a babyface. "I love it and I'm going to use that, hopefully sooner than later when I turn heel again," Orton said. "I'm sick of this babyface thing, that's for sure." Orton also mentioned that he'd rather be wrestling in the Wyatt Family and wearing jeans and a T-shirt for the rest of his career. Orton credited both Edge and Christian as being two of a handful of people who helped his career get to the point where it is now. He and Christian talked extensively about their World title feud during the summer of 2011 on SmackDown as well, with Orton complimenting Christian about how he put together those matches and how he gained confidence from working with him. In turn, Christian praised Orton and mentioned how he taught him to slow things down and how facials meant a lot in a match. They then moved on to talking about their kids. Orton has two daughters and three stepsons. His oldest daughter was never into wrestling until his stepsons (who are big wrestling fans) got her to go to the shows, and in a way Orton's stepsons got Orton and his family closer together. Orton said that he really tries his best not to go on the overseas tours, but he has to be around with John Cena going part time. He also discussed how hard it is to run a family, the RKO memes, and more. http://i.imgur.com/LiwUdoA.gif http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/Amazak___.png

AndreLeGeant 2 weeks ago#3 I bet Orton would love to be in the kind of shape his dad was in. Just totally change his look even. Grow the hair out. Gain weight. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I am your sXe hero. They should build a mosque in mecca. Right next to the dome of the rock. -- Lord Sideous

Edge vs. Orton at Vengeance 2004 was real good. As a Level 37 Sage, I expect to be treated with proper respect and acknowledged for my dedication to the GameFAQs Message Board Community as a whole. Thank you.

Faces are boring as fuck nowadays. No, the roster is boring period. The WWE doesn't know how to book heels or faces worth a damn. It doesn't help there are too many personality devoid ham and eggers on the roster. Also, Orton has always been boring as fuck. He has his out of nowhere RKO, and that's pretty much it. There's nothing else interesting about him as either a face or a heel.

Dikitain 2 weeks ago#9 Orton always sucked as a face, he is just a natural heel. I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports.

Saitsuofleaves 2 weeks ago#10 Dikitain posted... Orton always sucked as a face, he is just a natural heel. People ALWAYS say this shit. "Oh, Orton's a terrible face, keep him heel! HE NEEDS TO BE HEEL!" Yet, he always sucks as a heel too. Sure, he's motivated the first month when he turns heel, but that's the same for when he turns face. It's the same song and dance. Turn either face or heel, show immense intensity and interest for the first month, then immediately become bored again. Burn...let it all burn.

AndreLeGeant 2 weeks ago#11 He needs to do more than just go back to being the same heel. He needs a new gimmick and a character with development. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs.

There is no hope for him, he is a spoiled baby and a son of a wrestler, he brings absolutely nothing to the table at all. Cant talk, terrible look, oOOOoo the Viper, sorry buddy we had a Rattlesnake that was 1000x cooler than you'll ever be. Take your Diamond Cutter and go home.

2SweetforTurtle 2 weeks ago#19 Orton's a natural whatever the opposite of his alignment is. He just needs to stop being booked either way and just fight people. If he's beating up a bad guy, people will cheer. If he's beating up a midget, they'll boo. It's that simple. When he's heel and looks bored, people cry "turn him face!" When he's a face and looks bored, people cry "turn him heel!"  The fact of the matter is that he's awesome, and plays both roles well, BUT he's bored. And when he's bored, and therefore lazy, we get shit feuds and matches like everything he's done recently.  He seriously needs to be a part timer. Regardless of whether or not he's as old as the others, he just needs to disappear every few months so that whenever he does show up and bury upcoming talent, he'll get a reaction. That and, it'll make him stop bitching about not being with his family.  In the end, in theory, they'll only bring him back when they have something in mind, which would mean he's interesting in whatever he does. Slow and steady wins the race

The Kamikaze 2 weeks ago#29 Amazak posted... In turn, Christian praised Orton and mentioned how he taught him to slow things down and how facials meant a lot in a match. I couldn't think of anything Randy could teach someone except for maybe the Dropkick but there it is right there...very obvious, too You can only win if you dare!

I deleted everything that made him special.

gldoorii 2 weeks ago#31 I'm not surprised with how he's bored being a face since all this 50/50 booking crap has ruined faces and heels.
