There is a footballer with a similar problem to Randy Orton... Wayne Rooney... most of the time, top of their game and professional... but every now and then the Red Mist comes down and they become liabilities... Rooney has been sent off several times for stupid tantrums... Orton seems to do the same, letting his professionalism slip in the ring for the sake of chastising someone who is clearly beneath him in the pecking order... it's unsightly and smells of a man not reformed but going through motions...
The positive is that Orton is clearly passionate about the show and what he brings... the negative that he is petulant... has ANY other wrestler really used facial expressions or language that can be picked up in a match to show their displeasure with an opponent in WWE history? No... they go stiff... not bananas... So does this mean that Orton does not consider himself tough enough to take a receipt? it could be... this is a guy who couldn't handle the Marines... or military life in general...
Orton is clearly insecure in himself, that he has not complained about real botches made by those with more clout than him does sadly, speak volumes about the man... as a character he is red hot... but every time he does this, a few more people will see through him and in the end, he will derail himself... sadly he seems bent on derailing a lot of promising talent first...
I don't hate Randy, I just am baffeled he is allowed to do this to co workers again and again, more people have left WWE cos of Randy Orton than anyone else... eventually you have to say he is the problem...
