Ignoring that typical blatant hipster hate on the Rock I'd expect from the IWC, I agree with this guy. The Legend Killer was really the same as every other young cocky heel, the only difference is he went over legends and made it a point to disrespect them, which, once again, is an attitude held by every young brash heel. The Viper is an unstable beast, and his moveset as the Viper is far more interesting and expansive than the Legend Killer's. Hell, even the RKO is more vicious now than before: Viper Orton just snaps you straight down HARD, Legend Killer Orton kinda ran sideways and floated with you. And the Viper, with his anger management issues and loner style with the occasional show of babyface happiness, is much more complex than "I'm younger, fresher and stronger than an 80 year old former wrestler, therefore I'll beat him and prove I was better than he was 50 years ago."
It's a sad state of affairs when someone actually considers Randy's current viper gimik as "complex."
Let me sum up the Viper for you very quickly...
Talk slow and in monotone showing damn near no emotion.
Look around like you are staring into space before you throw yourself to the ground and beat your fist into the ground.
Counter some random move into an RKO.
There you go Viper character pretty much to exact specifics. There is zero complexity to it in it's current state. When he was increadibly cold and malicious attacking HHH family, punting Cena's father there was a lot more to him. He was attacking people's weak spots and in general showing more emotions sense he could show conflict in the actions he was commiting and yet lose himself in his own cruality. That was complex as it stands now not even close.
And as for move set I can also sum up an Randy Orton match for you just as quickly...
Do a few upper cuts.
Grab the guy from behind by his neck and do a back breaker over your own back.
Do a snap slam.
Circle the guy stomping on his arms and legs.
DDT a guy off the 2nd rope.
Counter something into an RKO.
That is far from complex in terms of a in ring variety. It's a shame to because as a Legend Killer Randy showed so much variety and in ring ability but the psychology of the Viper character is really hurting his ability to showcase it.
As far as the OP. I would love to see Randy revert to the legend killer to an extent. Not the cocky kid that he used to be but perhaps have him come out and cut a promo like...
"For so long I've been listening to the voices in my head, only now do I realize those voices are yours, referencing the fans/WWE Universe, and I've had enough. I'm not going to listen to you anymore, instead I'm going to do what made me. I'm going to kill legends, but not the old has beens I'm going after todays legends."
Something like that could be a nice means of putting him into fueds with people like Cena, Punk, potentially even The Rock or Lesner and actually have him be billed as a dominate hill instead of the cowardly thing we've been seeing.
