In spite of being here for a while I've only just started watching Raw again (via youtube), mostly thanks to the Nexus angle. This means that I haven't seen all that many Randy Orton matches. In fact the only recent singles match if his I've seen is his one in the Cell vs Sheamus, which was probably not a fair representation of his skills (given that Sheamus was pulling out all the stops and Orton wasn't). Based off that, my first impression of Orton in 2010 is that of a halfasser who seems to phone in his performances.
However, it's obvious that Orton is a wrestler who gets mixed IWC reactions. He's either boring, slow and shitty. Or he's a fantastic worker with unparalelled psychology. I've already said that my initial impression lies closer to the former than the latter. However, I'd like to have rather more evidence for what I think than one bad match. So, I'd like to ask people who have an opinion on Orton to sell me on their viewpoint, preferably with recent (i.e. post becoming "the Viper") videos.
That said, I'd like to not have this thread derailed, so please don't turn it into a massive arguement, I'm asking for evidence of what makes Orton good or bad in the ring not a debate on the subject.
