Does John Cena like Randy Orton Personally?

[KKKKwe]

So as all of you have noticed Randy Orton has been in some kind of slump for the past year and had one of the worst years in his career. Now 2 years ago all of you people wouldve said, "Yes, Orton is the number 2 guy right behind Cena as top dog in WWE" but that has all faded away for orton because of injuries and suspensions. In the Randy Orton Evolution of a Predator DVD John Cena calls Orton a dick because of cockiness and other sorts of things and says their is an "Orton 1" and "Orton 2". Orton 1 being the cocky, arrogant snake and Orton 2 being the mature and more wise man. In Cenas DVD orton had nothing but good good things to say about him. Now as I watched the Royal Rumble this past sunday something felt awkward to me. Orton had made his way to the ring and took out everyone with his signature moves. Orton had one on one moments in the rumble with Ryback, Sheamus, Ziggler, and the others in the rumble except for Cena. Every time Cena and Orton would come near eachother they would either turn away to look for another opponent or wait to be attacked. It was like Cena did not want to do anything with Orton and vice-versa. The only encounter they had was an RKO by Orton delivered to Cena and that was it.
Also what was being said by former WWE superstar Ken Doane(Kenny Dysktra) is that Cena has been lobbying to get Orton fired from the company. Also Sheamus who is good friends with Cena is slowly but undeservingly becoming the number 2 guy of the company and reportedly Cena celebrated Sheamus' birthday after RAw aswell.
In close, For me personally i cant see Orton having a problem with Cena, but the other way around I can see Cena disliking Orton and I can name many reasons, but im not really in the mood to bashed by some die hard wrestling fans.

So what I want to know is how u guys feel about the situation. Am i just speaking out my bottom, is there no tension between the guys. Let me know as your comments are very important.

None of us really know, and, to be honest none of us really care. Cena is top full time dog, and will remain as such for some time to come yet. Anybody that is on top gets accused of holding everybody else down all the time, but that doesn't make it so.

The better question is, "Does anyone like Randy Orton"? He's a selfish and unprofessional jerk, who has a reputation for being unreliable and unlikable.

As for whether Cena like Orton, I imagine Cena probably doesn't dislike Orton. They have fantastic chemistry together, which is hard to achieve if you don't like one another. But disliking someone and not liking someone are not the same thing, and quite frankly, I imagine that anyone as dedicated to the wrestling business as Cena is would have a hard time handling Orton's unprofessional actions and conduct.

Wade Barrett has expressed otherwise my friend. Said when Nexus and Randy worked together, that Orton was always approachable and shared his knowledge. Bret Hart has also said kind things in the past about him, as had CM Punk.

Also, Randy was number two guy in the company when moved to Smackdown. He was moved to be leader.

Even Meltzer said that Orton is respected by wrestling personalities past and present for his work and how he helps others(i.e. doing jobs to them to get them over).And to the one that said 'Does anyone like Orton?" Just curious,how may times have you ever met him to know how he is away from the ring? Are you backstage?

Ive met him 3 times and hes been great each time,especially around the little kids. Sure hes had some problems but who the hell hasn't? Unless you are God himslef you're gonna have bad days an not be happy 24/7.

 

[Kodo Sawaki]

Read somewhere that they are good real life friends so I do believe that they like eachother.

Also what was being said by former WWE superstar Ken Doane(Kenny Dysktra) is that Cena has been lobbying to get Orton fired from the company.

I would take anything that fired employee like Dykstra said with some dosage of reserve...

In the Randy Orton Evolution of a Predator DVD John Cena calls Orton a dick because of cockiness and other sorts of things and says their is an "Orton 1" and "Orton 2". Orton 1 being the cocky, arrogant snake and Orton 2 being the mature and more wise man.

Reports are that Orton is one and the other so i could see this legit. Many people said that Orton was a dick sometimes and then many people said otherwise and that he was actually a nice guy. Doesnt mean that Cena dislikes him, dont see that in that sentence...

 

[HellBoundPower]

From what I've heard (it's all speculation because no one really knows but them) they didn't like each other at first, but eventually became good friends. I'm pretty sure that after Orton matured, Cena took a liking to him. I wouldn't doubt if Cena and others were lobbying for Orton to be released back when he was screwing up left and right. I mean, how are you supposed to teach someone with that kind of ego to keep themselves in check any other way? But I'm pretty sure that they're both over that now.

 

[bxbigshow]

Back in that time that Cena referenced, Randy was a d!ck....and he fully admitted it. I feel if you take Cena's comments as a whole, you would see that he disliked him early, and grown to respect the man Randy has made himself today. WHILE at the same time keeping a side-eye available in case "Randy 1" returns....

 

[scottyshowman82]

I remember Orton saying Cena was an excellent free styler for real and was amazed how he could rap about anything. I also recall Orton saying favourable things about Cena at the height of the Cena/Rock rivalry heading into Mania 28. So to me it seems like they were on good terms.

First of all, I'm not your friend. I don't even know you. Second of all, just because some people have said kind words about him, that doesn't change the number of times he's been suspended for various unprofessional conduct or acted like a jerk (such as the infamous Diva's purse story). That makes him unreliable and unlikable.

 

[vikesfan]

HBK back in the day was a bigger dick than Orton could ever be and yet he turned out pretty good. Orton will to. And whats funny is when I read comments from ex WWE guys they always have good things to say about Orton(like Tyler Reks and DDP as examples) but yet when I read comments from ex WWE guys about Cena he gets bashed(Reks,Doane etc).

 

[xBANEx]

Unless I'm remembering incorrectly Cena wasn't fond of Orton back around the time he was taking dumps in the Diva's bags (nor was anyone, I'm sure) but once he quit being a douche became best friends with him or something.

Then what is the point of even talking to you if you are going to just dismiss anything we say or the numerouus ammount of times people have said good things about him? I mean you say he is unprofessional yet the people he works with says otherwise and yet we are the ones in the wrong for listening to them, how does that work?

Ok, put your toys back in the pram.

And the fact he puts people over and helps the younger talent makes him likeable. He probably has fans and foes like anybody in the real world does.

By that logic you could easily turn that around and say "just because someone said harsh words about him doesn't change the number of times he's been praised by his peers. That makes him likeable".

Uhh, no. The difference is the actions of Orton, not what is said by people. I'm looking at the number of times Orton has destroyed hotel rooms, crapped in bags, been sent home from overseas trips, suspended for various reasons, etc.

We have actions to decide this, not the words of a couple of wrestlers.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

I heard from a coworker that one of Kofi's cousins had on their Facebook that they were told by Kofi that Orton's wife Tweeted on Orton's Twitter that she was pissed off and thought it was shitty that Mae Young told her that Cena didn't save a seat for Orton during the pre-show buffett meal while they were doing a show in Mobile Alabama.

The Tweet was quickly taken down but if that's not proof of Cena's disdain for Orton I don't know what is.

In other words, "How the fuck are any of us supposed to really know?" TMZ doesn't even give a shit to find this out. Until they start or stop wearing each other half a heart charm there really isn't much way to tell anyone's true feelings.

Was Orton in Cena's wedding party? Was Orton in Cena's divorce party?

Sounds like there might be a little something to this. You can all talk about the past but what matters is right now. For whatever reason the two barely touched in the rumble. The crowd would have loved to see them go one on one for a minute it so why wasn't it explored? He did hit Cena with the RKO though so that kinda settles that.

Orton SHOULD be a top guy right now.

Its funny how you use situations that happened 7 years ago. In your mind a person cant change? you should watch orton's dvd where he and everybody else admits he was a dick BEFORE. Today, all of his peers and the people who met him say that he's a very nice guy. Im pretty sure you dont work for the WWE so ill take his co-workers' words before yours. Before his latest suspension, which is a shame, when was the last time you heard something negative about orton?

Im disappointed in you slyfox. Im actually one of the few that agrees with you on every opinions and facts you bring to defend cena. Unfortunately, on this thread, you are wrong.

 

[Spinebreaker]

It's entirely possible that Orton was a dick, grew up a little and stopped being a dick. He wouldn't be the first... (I'm sure anyone over the age of about 22 or so will empathise...) It's also possible, that Orton was a dick and Cena STILL quite liked him. I'm a bit of a dick, I have a number of friends. I know people who are popular, and dicks...

Perhaps, WWE KNOWS that a lot of fans are keen to see Orton/Cena, and that they intend to go in that direction at some point, so the RKO at the Rumble was a little teaser.

If by "7 years ago", you mean just last spring, then sure.

People don't seem to be understanding that part of what is not likeable about a person is the fact he's not reliable or dependable. If I'm someone who takes the business seriously, I want other people around me who are just as committed to doing the best they can. Injuries are unavoidable, but suspensions are not. It's unprofessional, and unprofessional/unreliable conduct is not likable.

Orton face to face with Cena would have been awesome but they seemed to purposefully avoided it. Makes me think they are saving that moment for later when there is money to be made and if true kind of makes the OP's implications unwarranted.

Orton SHOULD be a top guy right now.

He kind of is. He's just not a top WM season guy right now. He's not going to be featured at WM 29 so there is no harm using the guy to get some others further over (Barrett, Cesaro). He'll get his opportunities again as long as he doesn't fuck up too badly. The guy is too talented and gets too large of a reaction to stay dormant forever.
