the people who cry about Orton's run right now are the same people that are gonna cry when Cena gets the belt back...
i like Ortons run right now, i like Orton as the heel he needs to be and hes a good wrestler, i like the angle he has going right now i just wish he would fued with somebody else for a bit, or Punk never left they could have a good fued they always did in the past and Punk can have a great match with anyone

I almost dislike him as much as Triple H and not because he is doing his job as a heel well but because he's just unbelievably boring to me. From the entrance music, to his lame pose to the finisher to the "apex predator" shit. It doesn't appeal to me AT ALL. But I can see how people like him. And in theory the chosen one gimmick is great, but it doesn't negate his lameness to me.
Bryan should have been champ and starting a 2 - 3 month reign at Survivor Series, instead of having him demoted to the Tag match with Punk vs the Wyatts. Then screw him out of it and do whatever you want. That way you can still keep the Authority/Bryan story going but at least there would have been a feel good moment and some sort of -semiconclusion to it while still being able to continue the whole thing since the face was screwed. But now they keep Bryan in the chase since Summerslam 2013 (on and off) and it just feels dragged out for the sake of dragging it out. But okay, let's see what happens at RAW tonight.

I think that the fact you and many others feel like that is EXACTLY why Orton is the perfect heel. He is feeding off of it. I felt the same way until I watched Royal Rumble against Cena, he fed off that crowd so well and they gave him shit and it almost made his character better. At first, he looked lost in this chosen one role, especially because the writing for him made him look weak and lost. But in the ring, with the crowd, he is a master. I don't think people realize how good he has been. It's a lot like his dad. His dad make things looks so easy that we took for granted how good he really was. Randy has that same thing about him. He makes wrestling look so easy, we take it for granted. The fact that people are so mad at him and just want him off their TV, and he is feeding off of that makes it even better.

I disagree but quite honestly I don't even know exactly what you mean. Although I know that wrestling is fake and wrestlers react in a certain way to the crowd and feed off of it doesn't mean that the guy becomes more interesting to me. I just find Orton to be very boring, he doesn't cut it for me. So him feeding off of the crowd doesn't make a difference to me. I don't want to see him be beaten up and get his comeuppance because he's so good at pushing fan's buttons but I just don't want to see him at all. Like, I guess that the idea is that Orton is the chosen one and made sure to stay on top in a kayfabe way and to play to the smarks they push him because the smarks are just annoyed but that doesn't mean I want to see him. Who I want to see is Bray Wyatt, a heel Sandow, a heel Ziggler etc. Those are interesting (to me) but not Orton. But to each their own. I just wish they kinda had given Bryan his moment for some time. This is beyond a slow burn at this point, it's just dumb.
And of course there will be people that will complain no matter what, the armchair quarterbacks that play EWR and think they are the next Bill Watts and know how to come up with the greatest angles but not everyone is like that.
MontrealCity's Most:
Orton has always been boring. Batista should of stayed retired. Cena is so dullright now but I can still tolerate him.
I ,ove Brock now but lets face it they pushed hiom way to quick in 2002 and he ws boring back then.
That class of 2002 was pushed way too hard, Orton the worst
Going forward I want to see Hell Cena, DB, Cm Punk, The shield ( plase do not break em up and the feud with the Wyatts got started wayyyy wayyy to quick.)
sandow, ceasaro those guys are the future!
