It's almost like there are some people here that are like, WWE, it sucks, you like Orton, you suck. The bottom line, you ask any person that's true to the wrestling business, Heyman, Cornette and you ask them who you'd start a promotion with, who's their first choice and you have everyone say Randy Orton. His getting his character down, people are digging it right now, but I do think WWE needs to turn him heel soon. I'm not sure who'd you turn him on, Edge was popular, Orton's face value might go up turning him on Cena, and there is no true face you can turn him on. Well maybe the WWE has the right idea, just keep Orton face, let it ride and then see what happens.

Why would anyone hate on Orton like that? He's got the look, the talent, and he's over. The way he's been guided over the years gets on my nerves but that's not his fault. If he jumped ship to TNA would it mean anything? No, but that's because TNA sucks at drawing and the WWE brand stands alone these days. But if you wanted to build up TNA as a force I can't think of anyone currently I'd use other than Orton. Cena maybe, because there are a lot of great workers in TNA that can carry him to 4 star matches if need be.

Not sure if you meant that towards me or somebody else.
But what I mean to say was I hope I don't draw heat for making the Orton-to-Austin comparison.

In terms of comparing talent there's nothing shameful about comparing Orton to Austin. In terms of impact on the business there's no ay Randy Orton will ever reach Austin's level.

Well know in a few weeks or so if it was wwe's best ppv buyrate off all time as well, wwe thinks it was..This is because of HBK v Taker thats more money then 3 different rock v austin Wrestlemanias. HBK IS A FUCKIN DRAW

Looks like the early hype WWE spread was BS. WM26 did 885,000 buys worldwide. That was actually less than last year, despite thinking it would be a lot more.
