Should Randy Orton Remain With "The Viper" Gimmick?

[Peoples_Champ]

The Viper gimmick suits him. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's time to re-establish Orton as a top contender. He's put everyone over for the last half of 2011, since he made negative comments about Mark Henry and Kelly Kelly on the radio. He's paid his dues, Vince would be an idiot to let Mania suffer to prove his point.

Randy has gotten stale on the mic lately, well for a while now and he's even admitted that. The Viper gimmick is good for him. His moveset is somewhat limited, but he can work on that. As far as titles, he's a 9 time champion, so he doesn't "need" the belt to get over. I love what he's done on SmackDown and help elevate people. He does lose on occasion which is good since someone who I won't name won't do that over on Raw.

Anyway yes Orton should remain as The Viper. He's got the look, and the music and finisher suit him so well! Maybe he could just cut very short promos at his opponents, then hit the RKO on them. Worked for Austin, even though Austin was better on the mic, but it's something Orton could try to copy.

I think he needs to stay with the Viper gimmick. He changes now and he most likely turns into what Sheamus was in his rookie year. A unstoppable heel and thats not what anybody wants to see.
