Randy Orton sucks donkey balls

[houseofpain]

I can not believe that Vince would willingly put the title around Randy Orton's waist. His in ring performance is pathetic. He works the mic like a retard, his diamond cutter, I mean rko has to be the worst finisher next to the Hogan leg drop. And I am supposed to believe he is the cream of the WWE crop? He and Cena have to be the worst wrestlers to ever gain the title.

I dunno...seeing the fellow in your avatar, takes me back a bit. (Yeah, I'm somewhat of an older period, yet I hope you can relate to this)

For me, wrestling was at it's peak when there was a group called D-Generation-X. This was a gang of folks consisting of Shuan Micheals, Hensley, China (ehhh), this young high flyer named X-Pac, and a couple of dorks (whom I loved) called the New Age Outlaws. (Oh, You Didn't Know? Your Ass Better Call Somebody!").

The thing is, some of the best comedy for wrestling this side of the Carol Burnett Show ended up in the sequences for this group. They were either peeing into another performer's boots, or running over to the then competition's shows (Turners' shows) to film havoc.

Yet these things go in cycles. The comedy came back to an extent with the redefined Mick Foley character, yet soon after the TNT merger (which reduced the talent field, in my opinion leading to some poor decisions) came about and the WWF suddenly became the WWE, getting comercials on the Super Bowl and starting a football league, which went into the crapper as well.

Yeah, I guess that I pretty much long for the things that were. Being a CVH kinda guy, I'm pretty much...errr, used to that.

If you are diggin' in hard to the current ways of the sport, then damm it, good for you. Hang in there, man. And enjoy it.

Dude , it's not real...

Gimme UFC anyday!

[houseofpain]

Sure its not real. I know that, you know that, hell fat Bob in section 308 knows that. But its great entertainment.

You know, hate to bring up the guy, because his actions were completely dispicable, but Chris Benoit could wrestle.
William Regal can wrestle, can't get over though. He's barely above a jobber.
Brett Hart could wrestle, Rob Van Damm, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Double J Jeff Jarrett, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Dave "Fit" Finlay, The Steiner Brothers...those guys are wrestlers.

Randy Orton is a non-entertaining, cigarette smoking, Lasix freak with next to zero in ring ability and no skills on the mic. He's a plastic freaking Ken Doll with a crap load of tattoos. I guess 3rd Generation means something...he has the in ring talent of my four year old daughter.

[houseofpain]

and I love UFC too. Wrestling is pure entertainment, but MMA is entertainment and violence!

[Diamondjimi]

It's too much these days. Can't watch it anymore. I'm just old school .
72-85 was some entertaining years in wrestling before it completely became commercialised...
It's glory years are def. in the past ,imo.

[Redballjets88]

I like Orton, he plays a good crazy guy. Although he may not be the most talented in ability but look at everyone else.

If you want to complain about someone look at Batista, hr has about four moves, no mic skill whatsoever, and no personality.

Cena sucks also, he is trying too hard to be The Rock, and isn't very talented either.

The only bright spots in the WWE are people like Jericho, Edge, the Hardies, and a few of the mid card types like Shelton Benjamin and MVP

[redblkwht]

I dunno man, Its hard to watch now my last legit lock in WWE was the last days of SCSA & The Rock..
The show sucks now & Vince cant turn the ship around this time.
I just saw Coach is on ESPN now..lol

[bueno bob]

I can't watch professional wrestling anymore. There's no new talent being developed that's worth mentioning, it's simply a round robin of who's got the belt between HHH, Randy Orton, Edge and John Cena, and it's been going on for YEARS now. It's long since become uninteresting, except now it's extraordinarily uninteresting, even as brainless entertainment.

The new blood of professional wrestlers really missed the banana boat on how to sell their act. NONE of them have any mic talent at all (with the exception of Chris Jericho, but even he's getting kinda long in the tooth now). Gone are the days of real personalities who actually knew how to sell it believably...I'm talking guys like Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Jake Roberts, Bret Hart, Brutus Beefcake, Andre the Giant, Bobby Heenan, Jesse Ventura, Honky Tonk Man, Big Boss Man, Ultimate Warrior, Ted DiBiase, Demolition...those were WWE/F'ers that knew how to sell themselves and make it REALLY fun, not just the exercise in tedium that it is these days.

The WWE/F really went down the toilet in 1993 and frankly, it's never recovered. There have been a few great personalities that have really elevated themselves and went above and beyond the call of duty (Steve Austin, The Rock, and the always reliable Undertaker), but most of the so-called "talent" is so utterly banal it's almost painful to watch it and think "Yeah, THIS is what it's deflated to."

Very tragic, honestly. In a nutshell, I can remember when it used to actually be FUN to watch, regardless of how fake it obviously was...you used to get seriously excited about main event matches ("Holy shit! Hogan just barely beat Andre at Wrestlemania III and never beat him again! Dude, do you think Ultimate Warrior can actually beat Andre tonight???")...hell, you used to get REALLY excited about what was going to happen...anymore, watching it for any reason at all is just flat out ridiculous.

[redfire]

Yeah, Bob's got a point there as far as actually caring whether or not someone won. But, remember it's a business, and it is what it is. They saw a marketable/profitable pattern with Stone Cold, the Rock, DX and they're trying to copy that without copying it exactly. Come on, once Stone Cold was clearly the next big thing, they did the same thing for him like they did Hogan. No, he'd didn't hold the belt for 5 years like Hogan, but how many times did Stone Cold get fired/told his only title shot would be if he beat some unrealistic challenge.... hell, how many years in a row did he win the Royal Rumble? Look, if you hate Randy Orton.... then mission accomplished. If you hate him because he's a no talent ass clown, then he's doing his job. Jericho.... as far as I'm concerned he's still the man, this past year, no body... and the Rock means NO BODY.... could piss off the crowd just by opening his mouth.

As far as new blood goes, yeah it's a problem if Jeff Hardy is your new blood contending for a title when the dude was the new blood in 2000. 10 years is a long time to climb up the ladder. But MVP, Christian, and CM Punk, those are some guys that put on a good show no matter who they are wrestling. The MVP/Regal match was outstanding. Punk and Regal had some good matches as well. Like I said though, the more things change, the more they just get barely tweeked.

[fryingdutchman]

Can I take the concept one step further and say that professional wrestling, as a whole, sucks donkey balls?

If it was ever worth watching, it was 15+ years ago.

[houseofpain]

Flair was, and will always be the man.

I just don't get the push. At least with Cena, half the arena loves him, half the arena hates him. CM Punk/John Morrison vs Haas/Benjamin was a great match on Friday night. 4 of the most athletic guys in the business.

[houseofpain]

They're trying so hard to find the next Hulk Hogan/Stone Cold Steve Austin/ The Rock, and its pretty much blowing up in their faces.

John Morrison, if he could rock the mic, could be the next big thing. I wish somebody would put The Miz thru a flaming table. To quote Edge and Christian, he's "Sucktacular". If Jack Swagger could talk without spitting all over everyone, he could be big time. Ricky Ortiz could be an awesome heel if they'd quit trying to get him over as a face (Rally Up). Ortiz played football at TU (that's the univ of tulsa, not texass) and Swagger was a 2 time all american wrestler at The University of Oklahoma (the promised land).

[Redballjets88]

The Miz is awesome, Morrison is extremely talented but no mic skill, CM Punk is great (looks like a new version of Bret Hart)

Look for Edge vs Jericho feud soon, I hope. It would be a great one.

[redfire]

Look for Edge vs Jericho feud soon, I hope. It would be a great one.

That'd be awesome, who's going to be the face though? Is Jericho going to make another turn??
