Oh my god... sometimes when I read some of these posts I just look at them in total disbelief... just when I think the IWC is getting smarter...
Anyway, I agree with Lee, Deej, and Phoenix.
First of all, the angle was SOOO well done. I marked out like crazy for the entire chain of events. I'm going to run them by again from my personal point of view:
**SPOILER ALERT**
First, Orton gets himself DQ'ed... but most of us knew the match would get restarted. Then, he gets counted out... a little bit more obvious, but it gets restarted again. Then, he pins Cena with his feet on the ropes. This is when I jumped out of my chair thinking, "Man, this is smart booking. He looks like the sneakiest ass hole on the planet. He tried all of the 'done before' ways of getting out of the match and keeping his title and fails, but he STILL pulls out the win in the end!" Then the ref ran into the ring and began the argument of Orton's feet on the ropes. Now, I threw my hands up in the air shaking my head saying, "OK, Cena wins again... everyone is going to get their Summerslam 'happy ending' now." Then Cena locks in the STF. Orton scrambles and almost reaches the ropes but Cena stops him, drags him back, and re-applies the pressure. Once again, this has all been done before. I was SURE that Orton was going to tap. Out of nowhere comes (somewhat of) a crazed fan and then the whole world turned upside down... Orton, Cena, and the ref froze, and the security guys POUNCED the guy and dragged him into the back while the camera never got an angle showing his face. The match was temporarily paused, and my jaw dropped. In a WWE world where 99.99999% of occurrences are scripted (no matter how they look on TV), they got me once again. Call me gullable or naive, but for a split second I really thought something unscripted had occurred. Then out of nowhere Orton hits the RKO on Cena on the ropes and then another RKO in the ring and got the win. THAT'S when it clicked that the run-in was a work. I was shocked and excited, and this is the goal that WWE sets during their PPV's... to shock and excite us.
Now, I didn't know it was the younger DiBiase that made the run-in until I saw this thread, and it makes perfect sense. Just like Lee said, if Brett doesn't join Legacy, it would be a storyline as confusing as King of the Ring 1993 when Hogan was defeated by Yokozuna as a result of a random "Japanese photographer" shooting an exploding camera in Hogan's face, never to be revealed or heard from again. This would be pointless. I believe that Legacy will revel in the fact that it was another offspring of the DiBiase clan that thwarted John Cena, thus allowing Orton to keep his title.
Now I see that many of you say that the 21 year old Brett DiBiase isn't ready to be moved up to the main roster. So I ask all of you, HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW?? I mean, Kurt Angle was a prodigy of the system and moved up the ranks to the main roster faster than anyone I had ever seen, and he became one of the best in-ring generals of the past decade. For all we know, Brett could've been training somewhere besides FCW for the past 10 years and could be a young master of the pro-wrestling craft by now. So where does it actually say that Brett won't be ready?? People, you all need to stop the smark-speculation and just sit back and enjoy the product.
