Loki Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm amazed he's still going. His knees must be buggered beyond all reason by now. When he took that break and came back really slim (for him) people we talking about it prolonging his career by a few years. That must be nearly a decade ago now.

Professor Paul's Bin Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 After recently watching the Randy Orton Documentary he did on his DVD set which was excellently produced. I've started proper bumming off Orton and thinking he is the best thing about the WWE. Anyway I haven't properly seen any WWE for the last 12 months after Over The Limit 2012 left a rather sour taste in my mouth. Anyway can anybody tell me any good Orton stuff to check out from the recent few months? I've heard alot of good things about him and especially his match at Extreme Rules.

Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Because when he did coast he was punished with being jobbed to everyone and being sent to OVW.Thought that was for his weight, not the quality of his wrestling matches?He came back slim in early '08, so yeah over 5 years ago now. Funny how they still bill him at that "441 pounds" even though he clearly stacked the beef back on.Orton has been great for ages, I'd like to see him in a meaningful feud rather than the half-hearted deal going on with the Shield. It's been Team Hell No and interchangeable main event guy (others have been Ryback and Sheamus) against the Shield. He needs a meaningful singles program.Even though they had a feud recently, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing him feud with Del Rio over the world title. They work well in the ring and Del Rio seems re-energised as a heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted June 19, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2013 Weight, poor performances, and according to him himself a very shit attitude. But that's to be expected from from the WCW locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Actually, I remember Brock Lesnar talking about that in his book now you mention the attitude. Lesnar made it clear he wouldn't take Show's shit though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThumpSquids Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) No biggie, but whenever my soon-to-be two year old sees Ian's sig, he always offers a knowing grin and utters "Dush". He may not be with us any longer, but that guy can still command an audience.Ps, never change that sig Ian.

Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted June 19, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ian's sig looks like a chocolate bar wrapper to me. It's the colours and design of it all with the big mans logo. 'New! Cadbury Crush'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Of Swing Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I randomly started watching Backlash 2002 and I honestly had no recollection of the Tajiri/Torrie Wilson pairing. Tajiri and Kidman had a good match by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 It was actually a somewhat significant part of the Invasion storyline IIRC, Torrie being the first WCW wrestler to defect to WWF because she'd fallen head over heels for the little bastard. Also, it indirectly led to the Lingerie match at No Mercy with Stacy Keibler, which was a *ahem* technical classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
