Absolutely not! I've said it for years, but Orton is over-rated. He has a few decent moves (his side neck breaker, dropkick), but overall, he is boring in the ring. His pace is methodical, borderline slow. His promo skills have improved, but are far from decent. The only emotion he can convey effectively is anger and the only characteristic he can convey is cockiness. He's extremely one-dimensional. Look at stars like the Rock, Austin, Hogan, Savage... they can interject humor, humility, confusion, excitement, etc. Orton's act is working right now, but a year from now? Ten years from now? It'll grow old and he doesn't have the skills to carry himself effectively as a face. I do like the fact they're using him to put over Kofi and hopefully Ted or Cody in the future, but that's more due to his long heel tenure and push than anything else. Without Vince's man crush on him, he wouldn't have gone beyond the novelty of being the son of an over-rated former wrestler. If he wants my respect and he wants to justify his contract, he needs to work on increasing his pace in the ring, conveying more dimensions to his character, and changing the tone of his voice every now and then (there are subtleties to speaking beyond loud, monotone utterances).
