CavemanLynn Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Fucking hell. I've found Orton boring as piss the vast majority of his career, but his Twitter game well and truly has their number. If only they could get this on screen without just having him bury the NXT indy crew. At the very least, you'd hope the trainers down there are listening and try to reign in those weekend warrior habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted June 9, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 9, 2020 Maybe Orton could show Ciampa how to apply a chin lock in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_gordo Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 You'd hope if Ciampa gets called up there's a nice feud waiting for him out of this although not sure how compelling a story Leg Slapping vs Chin Locks is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touche, although I don't recall seeing a WWE Superstar hovering his stomping foot above the mat he's about to stomp on for a second or two before doing it.

GeronimoJacksBeard Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Ha. What a pathetic response that was from Ciampa. Good to see Orton highlighting such bollocks, few things annoy me more about the wrestling style of today than that trend. The leg slap can be a great effect when disguised and used to highlight the impact of a particular strike. Wrestlers today make zero effort to disguise it, do it for ALL strikes, but worst of all constantly do it when their opponent is striking them! Feels like a result of the whole 'everyone knows it's fake, who cares' mindset. It's the sort of thing i'm amazed someone like Regal, who's been noted before as pushing the fact that the art of a wrestling match comes down to looking as though and making people believe you are legitimately trying to beat your opponent, isn't constantly flipping his lid and bollocking people for it like he did in that episode of Breaking Ground with the shoulder roll into fighting stance bit.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted June 9, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 9, 2020 Worst is when in the slow motion replays of a particular vicious kick and the camera clearly shows the leg slap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavigatorFan Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 That is the most entertained I have ever been with Randy Orton. I hardly ever notice the leg slapping although I only watch Takeovers not the weekly stuff but I'm sure they will stick out like a sore thumb now that I know they happen so frequently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lenin Posted June 9, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 9, 2020 Going back to the glorious What Will Mongo Do Next? Twitter page - what's the story there? Was he just a terrible worker? Was it a rib? How was it allowed? Being decidedly anti-WCW in my youth I have no idea of the context and interested to hear your own takes.

Super bowl winner, pissed charisma compared to the rest of LT's back up at Mania 11, good looking wife, that's about it Still think he was a better wrestler than commentator, which is really not a compliment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was the shits in the ring BUT he lived the party lifestyle synonymous with wrestling at the time and as far as I understand he was very well like as a person backstage so that's why he was around so long. Plus I believe he was quite a well known American footballer or something which may have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
