It's no more an inane thing to discuss than 90% of what else is discussed on this forum.
Oh what the fuck ever lil missy, whenever I RKO people in street fights I always hit the move cleanly. Jus sayin.
Yea, so it was wildly obvious. I literally said out loud "what the fuck just happened?"
Anyways, shit happens. I have zero inclination as to what the miscommunication was there, and no one covered for it well at all, not the wrestlers or the commentators.
Pretty meaningless, the show goes on. Everyone forgot it within 2 minutes, surely nothing to freak out about.
You wouldn't have a chance to RKO me in a street fight, I'd hospitalize you and end your career with one swing of my bottled water.

GreatWhiteSam... I was right in front of the ring. Orton took responsibility. Simple as that. They redid the finisher. Everyone around me in the audience said "what just happened??" then you could plainly see Orton take the blame, and then he did another RKO.
It was cool to see up close how they communicate to each other.
Peace Out

Stupid response.
Yes they are.
These guys may be the best in the business but this is LIVE TV. They go for months (sometimes years) without botching anything, week after week. And now that they do, you guys want to make a national case about it? Get a fucking hobby or something... BESIDES this forum.

Sam made the case. It's on Big Show.
Yep.
Yep.
Wrestling is my hobby. A national case? Only because we want to talk about a botch? Yeah, i know botches from Show or Orton don't happen often. But, last night it did and we wanted to talk about it.
Isn't the the whole point of a wrestling forum to talk about things from wrestling?
And there we have it. The #1 forum response when you have no real comeback... the "Isn't this a wrestling forum that's here for discussion" speech.
So, to answer you, I AM discussing wrestling. I'm discussing how stupid wrestling fans are for making a national case out of a botch that happens once in a blue moon on live television, or were you not reading?

How can anyone say that what we saw tonight was anything other than Randy Orton botching his signature move?
I am glad that I am seeing the majority of the internet place the blame where it should be (on Orton), though a few select people want to say it was Big Show's doing?
How do you figure? It was obviously supposed to be an RKO, Big Show went down, Orton looked as though his feet were wobbly and he failed to go down with Show. His fault. Show did nothing wrong.
For someone who is supposed to be one of WWE's "best in-ring" technicians, that was pretty damn horrible, wasn't it?
I hope and believe Vince is blowing a gasket.
Woah. He botched his move on like the guy who it would be most difficult to perform it on (save Khali). AMAZING. Fire him Vince! He does this all the TIIIIMMMEEEEE! Oh wait, he doesn't...
Shit happens. Chill your beans son.

He said OVER two. Try again sonny Jim.
I'd be more inclined to believe you if you didn't misremember the actual ending sequence:
And there wasn't a contradictory account:
And that you can watch the video, where the camera doesn't pan away from Orton at any time, and you can't see Orton "plainly take the blame." I'd imagine it'd be a bit fourth wall breaking for him to shrug and go "My bad."

Pourquoi?
OMG ORTON BOTCHED AN RKO ON RAW?
Looked more like Big Show botched it than Orton, due to Show clearly yelling "FUCK" while getting up off of the ring. Hard to tell who was at fault, but one move isn't going to send Orton packing, he's signed with the WWE until 2019, not to mention he's still the best in ring wrestler the company has to offer.
Lets face it Big Show's probably one of the hardest performers to work with in the WWE.
This is one of the first times I clearly remember Orton botching anything, unlike several other starts so many people around here are high on.
Remember that time R-Truth jumped out of the ring before the Miz was in place and hit his head?
Or the time Cena slammed the Miz through the barricade at MW27 causing the Miz to bash his head on the concrete floor and get a concussion?
Or that time Batista power bombed Cena incorrectly, and fucked Cena's neck up?
Or Triple H botching the ending of the match with Undertaker at WM27?
Or most of Kingston's matches?
Or any match Sin Cara was in?
Lets think of all the great spots Orton has given us over the past three years, the Air-RKO that Bourne received. The RKO Punk ate while jumping off the top rope into the ring at WM26. An enjoyable Great Khali match on Smackdown, the No-DQ match with Kane on Smackdown, the countless 5 star encounters with Christian, Rhodes, and not to mention two good matches with Mark Henry last year.

Meh not anything to make a thread about. At least they handled it like professionals and finished the match.

Good grief kid. Watch it again. The spot where Randy is pushed into the ropes was supposed to happen, Big Show just sold the RKO mistakenly. It was supposed to be a smooth transition to the chokeslam attempt and then the RKO finish.
In other words Show is used to hit moves on so that they can look incredible on a guy so tall and fat. But instead it's the exact opposite. Show is so large and strong anytime Orton jumps to even attempt that crap on show, he should be able to throw Orton out the ring every-time. Just like when Orton hit that b.s. on Khali, no way in hell Khali shouldn't have chunked Orton out the ring. But the aftermath of both sequences is that it shows how fake wrestling really is. There use to be a time when u couldn't never tell. So it's not the wrestlers fault that it's a botch it's wwe's fault because nobody that big is suppose to even attempt to try and sell a move like that.
