Ok where do I start. I can't stand Orton. I barely watch wrestling since 2004 because it also sucks but when I switched over during the years Orton just really stands out as an incredibly lame character yet laughably he's something like a 15 time world champion.
Funny thing is when he debuted as the legend killer I actually didn't mind him, as he had some charisma and played the cocky heel well. Then he started the 'Viper' gimmick, which is possibly one of the most strangest and lamest gimmicks ive ever seen. He basically just acts like a robot, and apparently this is supposed to be cool or something? zero charisma or any real character, he just acts like a try hard, walking around really slowly and posing like a lame ass. He is supposed to be stone cold killer all tatted up, yet still does that incredibly lame, and cringey pose on the top ropes which I laugh at every time. It's amazing that after all this time he did not realise or somebody didn't tell him how lame it looks.
Not to mention that lame entrance music 'I hear voices' which is so generic and lame. Yes we get it you are supposed to be some psycho, we don't need your entrance music telling us every time. Then he walks out so slowly trying to act so cool, and then just keeps walking slowly boring the hell out of everyone. Every single mannerism looks so contrived like he has practiced it in the mirror and gone through a dozen committee meetings. He has all these muscles, and tats, and just tries so hard to be cool that he just comes across as a lame try hard and completely un cool, unless you are 14 years old.
I remember I watched him a while back when he actually started hissing in the ring, like a snake, and I started laughing out loud. Apparently this was supposed to be really cool and intense but it was laughable. Ok your gimmick is the viper but you don't need to act like a real snake you moron. Then he started punching the mat and acting like he was having a psychotic break down, which again look so contrived that I was laughing, who the hell is impressed with this crap?
Then he had that head kick thing, where he would apparently lose his sanity and try and soccer kick his opponents. Again just so lame. Sleep inducing on the mic as well, it really is a nothing gimmick, yet he has been around forever and 15 titles? What a sad reflection of the state of wrestling. Anyone else just think he fuken sucks?
