Getting Noticed By Management
Randy Orton is and always has been one of my favourite WWE superstars, he has the look, the athleticism, the technique and when given the opportunity even the mic skills. Having said that I believe as a face in spite of regularly getting the pop of the night, he has not yet reached his potential.
The reason why people began to cheer for him in the first place has I feel kind of been lost in translation, in that he was just a manic, all round bad-ass who didn't care what or who he went through to achieve his goals. In the past year Orotn has put on some of the best matches of his career and it is obvious that his in-ring talent has really blossomed yet his character has been somewhat toned down. he has lost the psychotic edge which made the fans really buy into him in the first place, it has been seen in glimpses granted but not to the extent I believe it merits.
If Stone Cold Steve Austin taught us anything it is that fans love the anti-hero. I think that Orton has to bring some of the old swagger and cockiness which elevated him as the legend-killer and mix it with the ruthless persona of his early Viper to develop as a character. His recent tendency to help out the faces and show genuine repsect for them should be wiped and he should be just as willing to kick their ass as the heels if the situation arises.
Orton is one of the best at acting like a heel and being loved for it and when given the opportunity to stray out of the typical do-gooder type face stereotype he has bene proven to excel. In short he should become unpredictable again, yet be given the opportunity to show a little more of himself on the mic.
What do you guys think about where Orton's character should progress post-mania?
