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.

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.

sort of towards you, but it was more towards the WWE sucks no matter what crowds, because to me they get pretty annoying with this WWE can't do nothing right. Now I'm a wrestling fan, I prefer a more balanced market, but right now the WWE is the best out there. TNA just sucks, and if you say that you get heat.
BOX5 the best poster on this site yell:
the difference why orton won't be austin IT'S SPIT'N ON THAT MIC, if you can't spit on that mic you can get over (jeff hardy anyone,rvd) but you don't usually blow up big time, i like wrestlers who talk that shit my favorite is new jacc,couldn't wrestle all that great but nobody cut a promo like jacc if he went head to head against austin in his heyday i think he would have out did austin on that mic yell

I hope that Vickie doesn't become the full-time GM.

I think you're right on the money. I think WWE wants Orton to be the next Austin in the worst way. My feeling is they know he can't be a straight babyface after being a heel for so long, so they're going for the tweener angle. And after years of trying to get Orton over as their pet project, I think it might finally be working a bit. I still don't see what the big fixation with Orton is. The guy's got a good physique, but he's a pretty unremarkable wrestler. I do think his matches have gotten a little more exciting with this last push, so maybe whatever they're trying is working to an extent. For the first time that I can remember, the crowd does seem to be getting behind him instead of booing him.
