Randy Orton's Viper Character




Hey guys I'm Damien (Omen) as I have been dubbed. Okay i won't be around the bush but again this is MY opinion. I am open to hear your opinions. as wrestling fans I don't expect you to agree with me and if you don't I encourage that you comment your opinions below. I like to know what the views are of avid readers of impactwrestling.com are.

I am here before you today to talk to you about what some may consider a 'controversial' topic. I'm here to talk to you about randy Orton. This guy is the youngest world heavyweight champion in history. He is a multi WWE champion & is a former intercontinental and has one of the most hardest characters to play.

I have previously stated that Randy Orton will be the future of the biz. and i think he is a guy you could build your company around. But that is not my point. Right now Orton is one of the most best performers on the roster alongside Edge. He has been booked pathetically with gimmick matches so on and so fourth. But he is also one of the most talked about superstars on the roster. Let me expand on my opinion.

Weather you hate him or love him Randy Orton is the most talked about wrestler in WWE. But his character is so boring you say? Simple to answer. Randy Orton has a character that has a limited move-set and has a very technical type of style in the ring. wherever Orton goes, he gets a reaction, just like Cena. Orton could get heat or the live crowd could eat him up, but either way he is playing his charter magnificently.

He gets bashed on the internet & wherever else about his character and whatever else but that means that he is being TALKED about. He is getting a reaction. good Bad doesn't matter. Not a factor. He is talked about on internet & even comes up in conversations with friends. He is getting a reaction which is what the creative team what for his character. He is meant to be boring & dull which makes people frustrated and what do they do? go to the internet to bash him about everything. Thats what the WWE want them to do. Funny in a way?

Thanks for reading, it was a little bit short, but i think i made my point. I hope you had a good read and I really am open to all your opinions on this matter as it is fascinating for me.
Kind regards, Damien.

Randy Orton was the legendkiller,he is now a viper who will do watever it takes to win including punting people and setting them on fire with some pyrotechnics even,that's his character.If people think or perceive he's dull and boring ,well those people don't understand business .If Orton started cutting promos like The Rock or started doing DX chops,he won't remain the dangerous viper that punts people and takes them out.People can't expect Orton to dance around in the ring.

I understand what you are saying but I am not saying that he is dull & boring. I have read blogs with people stating that he is dull & boring. I agree with your opinion though.

Orton is good at best on the mic. His look is great, but he's average on the mic, which he's always been. His character is a little boring, and not because "it's supposed to be." He's not super hated by the crowd. People overrate him. Still he's a top heel and worthy of his spot. Edge is better though.

there's not much more that I can say about Orton that my blog didn't, except that his performance in the Iron man match was fu##ing incredible.... INCREDIBLE!

so here's an extract from my peice, just for you STFU....

Randy Orton:
There's an old saying "you are what you eat" and Orton has been fed some sh## material with his fueds with Batista, Cena and some pathetic half written fued with Kane over Kelly Kelly. Randy Orto
n should, by all accounts be struggling due to how poorly his character is often booked.

He gets alot of stick by some fans, who I'm sure will comment, about how dull and boring he is and he never has standout matches. The booking is
something more or less entirely out of his hand! You can call the booking around him dull, uninspiring and boring. You can level criticisms at the character he has been told to portray. But you can not blame him for a damn thing as Orton not only shines, he blinds. If anything, claims of him being the things his character demand of him shows just how good he is; he has you all nailing him to a stake because you believe he is something he isn’t. Is that not in itself a testament to his skill?

As performers, all wrestlers should evoke a response from you. Orton is evoking a response. As performers, all wrestlers should act according to how their character demands and acts according to how The Viper demands he acts. People may find The Viper boring, but that does not mean Orton has failed to master his craft. On the contrary. The fact you think Orton is the one who is boring proves quite the opposite. I guess what I am attempting to say under no clear terms here I realise is that The Viper character is simply not a very exciting character; however, as, in the past, we know Orton can be damn entertaining and now appears to be boring, is a result of his mastery. That is to say he's so good at being this essentially boring character, if I must go that far, that everyone thinks ORTON is boring. Such is his skill.

Randy Orton has really come into his own as a top heel in the WWE.  If you look at what he is now as compared to what he was 5 years ago, it's a huge difference.  After he left evolution and went face the crowd was never really behind him and he never seemed comfortable with acting like a face.  Even after he went heel again he struggled with an identity.  Finally he settled into the legend killer and now that has morphed into the viper.  He fits that role charactar perfectly.  Even though he may seem to come across boring and quiet sometime, you never now what he's thinking or when he can turn on you.  He fits the role perfectly.

One thing i did forget to mention is the way he reminds me of Brian Pillman, in the way that when Pillman became "the loose cannon" nobody knew if he was Brian Pillman or The Loose Cannon? He became so fu##ing good at being that character, that nobody knew if it was a work or if he really was that crazy...... Orton has become so fu##ing good at playing the Viper, that people think that's who Randel Keith Orton really is!

Like I said before... that reaction is a testiment to his mastery.
