Randy Orton Discusses Chris Jericho, Almost Dying, John Cena, More
Posted by Larry Csonka on 06.29.2011



Credit: Dave Scherer and Pwinsider.com

Randy Orton did an interesting interview with KUPD in Phoenix that is definitely worth listening to. He covered a number of topics, including:

*He said that he misses Chris Jericho and that he was a locker room leader. He said he will help guys with matches but isn't exactly a counselor.

*Past drug usage. He said he stopped breathing from one incident about five years ago. His wife had to call 911 and that saved his life. He will cover it on his DVD.

*He had hear with The Rock before WrestleMania after he said in an interview that he didn't believe Rock when he said he would never leave WWE again. Orton said that John Laurinaitis pulled him aside and said that Vince McMahon didn't like what Orton said. Orton said that Rock had called the company to complain about Orton burying him and HHH in an interview. Orton thinks Rock mentioned HHH to get some weight behind the heat.

*He noted that he has had six concussions and the one he suffered in Spain a few weeks ago was really bad. Since he has had so many of them WWE management was concerned.

*On the other hand, he loves John Cena and says he is by far the best in WWE on the mic, better than Rock even. He didn't claim that Cena was a great in-ring worker but said he was the best on promos.

*He laughed about WWE having women that were bad actresses playing his wife in skits.

Good stuff.

"John Cena and says he is by far the best in WWE on the mic, better than Rock even."

I think Randy Orton is suffering from post-concussion syndrome

I figured the "Almost dying" bit had to do with Ken Anderson...


...


ANDERSON.

Cena better than Rock on promos? No. Not even close.

Jericho has another DVD coming out? If so, still, not your place to discuss.

He also made fun of Kelly Kelly and sleeping with at least 20 wrestlers

Is this the same interview where he outted how many guys Kelly Kelly hooked up with? Because I can't decide whether that's super-shady, or hilarious.

Listened to that interview...can't believe he actually said that about Kelly Kelly. She only dated Test and now Justin Gabriel. How unprofessional to bash a co-worker.

Posted By: Guest#5297 (Guest)  on June 29, 2011 at 04:02 PM

 
 
wow , he essentially called kelly kelly a whore


Orton puts over John Cena as a great talker, but a suspect wrestler. He also buries Mark Henry and Great Khali for their in ring skills. The interview is shocking at times with how candid Orton is. He's very laid back and shooting from the hip, and it leads to a couple of "Did he really just say that?" moments.

Gotta love the hypocisy of wrestling. Men sleep around (Punk, Batista) and they're respected for it. Let it be women and they are called sluts and ringrats. According to those with Orton's mentality, the Divas should be dressed in those costumes which women in Afghanistan wear and have no social life at all. I hate feminazis, but FFS let a woman sleep with who she wants to.

Seriously guys, how can you have shit to say about this interview? Orton just revealed tons of insider stuff, gave a candid interview and basically showed why everyone in the business says the WWE holds him back. He was cracking jokes and showing that he has a sense of humour, endearing him to the public, y'know the public who aren't buying PPV's and aren't watching TV anywhere near the level they used to. Beacause wreslers cant get across their real personalities and therefore the mass public cannot relate to them.
Look at what the CM Punk promo has done publicity wise for the WWE, he showed real emotion and stirred the pot and got people to care. Punk was right, Vince surrounds himself with idiots and i think he has finally realised he could damn well be a billionaire again with the talent that he posesses in the WWE and is allowing not just Punk, but the people who can actually engage with the audience while bringing out their own unique personality to actually do so. I can almost guarantee that Randle was merely ribbing a few people there and was all jokes. calm down peeps! Things are about to change

If I had a time machine I would go back 5 years and break his wife's phone.

Sounds like an interesting interview. I wonder what drugs he was on when he said he nearly died 5 years ago. I know he juiced but I dont think thats what he almost died from. Any guesses?

Orton vs Cena vs The Rock at WM?

Posted By: Guest#5874 (Guest)  on June 29, 2011 at 05:13 PM

 
 
So wait. 6 concussions and he claims the most recent one (the one he was wrestling DAYS after receiving) was really bad?

Proof that its either a work (my opinion) or WWEs Wellness program really is a load of bunk (actually, I believe that too)

another worthless boring vince ass kisser whos ripping kelly who has more personality than he has in lil pinky what an utter douche bag!!!

What's the deal with this? So CM Punk got to shoot a little, now everyone has their turn? What he said about Kelly was really unprofessional. I know WWE is a big boys club but that's low. He better watch out now that he's married, some ring rat might come back to sabotage his marriage.
Also, don't trash The Rock because he has more charisma in one pubic hair than you do in your whole body.

In all honesty, I've seen Orton deliver some superb promos. Particularly, when his persona is at that "I'm-truly-disturbed-but-playing-it-cool" point.
Shades, of the one and only Jake - in his prime.

What the Kelly-Kelly types, and all the others hiding behind some unreal 1970's
"I am Woman" cop-out is: A Man, must seek, track, and carefully engaged his "game", or he will "starve". A Woman, just has to go into the "grocery store" and choose. Perhaps, Kelly Kelly -not unlike the grossly over-rated Trish Whatever- has truly earned her "Frequent-Shopper Card". If a person cannot own-up to their own choices, they are probably making -willfully- ALL THE WRONG ONES.

96 of which have banged her.

This isn't news to anyone, she hadn't even debuted on ECW and she'd been balled by at least Punk, Batista, and I think Morrison. And that's just the common knowledge ones. She's been called out on whoring herself for a paycheque since Day 1.

Hi, welcome to Earth. May I take your coat, sir?

It's not exclusive to wrestling, dipshit. Do you ever leave your home and mingle with other people? This is how it's always been and how it will always be. Is it right? Maybe, maybe not. If it is add it to the fucking list of injustices.

If you hate feminazis so much, stop spewing their rhetoric. I personally think it's good that at least one gender is held to a certain standard. Anyway, all whores suck, male and female. AIDs and other VDs were made for them.

That type of mentality would mean no Plinkett reviews. And I don't want to live in a world with no Plinkett reviews.

Go and watch the 'Cop Dog' one now.

"Past drug usage. He said he stopped breathing from one incident about five years ago. His wife had to call 911 and that saved his life. He will cover it on his DVD."

She should do the same when Triple H broke in with Sledgy in hand instead of just standing there like a moron screaming. Dumb bitch.

It makes sense after hearing that he had half a dozen concussions culminating with a real bad one just recently.

Actually dipshit, he didn't say there was anything wrong with what she was doing. He just said it happened. You obviously didn't even listen to it so you really shouldnt comment on his "mentality".

Whiie I like Orton's work he's miles off about Cena, his promo's are forced, cheesy & over-written. Plenty of better talkers in WWE, including Punk, Miz, Christian & even Orton himself (not to mention people like Booker, Piper, Vince, Austin & Rock when they pop in every so often).

Posted By: Guest#3990 (Guest)  on June 29, 2011 at 08:03 PM

Wheres ur proof that Kelly did all that? None of u went into her bedroom spying on her it's all just word of mouth! Its about as credible as those lies that Michelle McKool went to the hospital for an eating disorder or something when in reality noone ever knows what the problem was.

Posted By: Guest#0012 (Guest)  on June 29, 2011 at 09:07 PM

 
 
To me, best in WWE as far as promos go are:
1(tie) The Rock
Stone Cold

3. CM Punk
4. Cena

Translation: Orton is jealous that the Rock is more popular than his friend with benefits. Cena's five knuckles have been places they shouldn't have been.

Posted By: Zingy (Guest)  on June 29, 2011 at 10:28 PM

 
 
If by the best on the mic, he means stale and boring, then yes, he is the best.

Seriously, Cena can't touch Jericho, The Rock, even Austin.

Hell, Christian owns Cena and even The Miz is giving him a run for his money.

To tell the truth though, had Christopher Nowinski never got injured, he would have been know as the absolute best on the mic. The man is his short run was absolute GOLD on the mic. I really wish he would have become a manager, too bad Vince seems to hate managers now.

um cm punk's promos are better then cena's because even when his justification is 0 you still believe that he means what he is saying Cena is good but punk is better

Hey, Guest#7975, Way to steal Shore's slant

Posted By: Adam (Guest)  on June 30, 2011 at 12:33 AM

 
 
Rock is the best at one-liners and talking shit on the mic, but there is no substance to what he is saying really in reference to a match. Ever heard a Rock promo where he actually took it seriously and tried to put over his opponent?

Not that I'm saying Cena is great, or even better than Rock. He's really god damn annoying on the mic and really hard to believe with his goofy/serious switching. It's just bad acting. His seriously malicious promo's are believable though, like any one he cut against Edge. That's more than I can say for Rocky.

He had a really bad concussion in Spain a few weeks ago, yet he wrestled a 15 minute match against Christian on the PPV just a couple days after. Wow the WWE really seems to care about his well-being.
