The character he developed into today may be good, but at times when I look back I miss the old Orton. I think his 2007-ish run was really good, and the feud with Cena was great, and he was more "fun" to watch back then. Nowadays, he's just so "evil", and it's getting tiring after a while, anyone agree at all?

The problem is that he's terrible.

He needs to bring back the Legend Killer gimmick.

I liked the IC champion Randy Orton.
He had good matches and was decent to watch.
Now he's boring and repetitive.

As "The Legend Killer", from 2003-2006, the guy was one of my top favourites. These days, not so much. I do miss the Orton who had a personality, absolutely.

The only Orton I ever liked was the "RNN Update" Orton

I really liked the Orton pre-face turn (Circa. December 2003 - August 2004). If only he held the WHC as a Heel back then.

I dug his late 07' title run. TBH, he was pretty buried even in that reign, but he still was better than right now.

I agree with you, I liked him better when he did his own dirty work

Am I the only one who remembers how boring he used to be? How a ton of people in the Raw thread back then would take their 'piss breaks' when 'resthold Randy' would come out and work one of his boring as matches? The guy has a character and a personality now.

As a huge Orton fan its not the gimmick that's bad. Its the fact that as the top heel on RAW he looks weak. They always making him out to look scared crapless. He has two soldiers with him and the three on one still makes them look weak. Trading punches with one guy at what seems like forever is insane, a three on one attack should be just that an attack. Back in the days of the old horsemen there was no fear in Flair. He was the biggest heel and he beat people down and that was the end. They didn't get handled or dealt with they just ran crap like the mafia. Legacy is a joke. They can make Orton just as weak on his own. Its hard to watch some nights.

I agree.
I think nowadays, what makes a heel the best heel they can be, is if they loosen up.
Example: Triple H late 05/06. When he started being a funny heel, he was great to watch on TV.
Edge is a loose heel as well so thats a 1up he's got on Orton currently.
Orton takes his heel role too seriously. To fix it, he doesnt have to become a funny heel, but like i said he just needs to loosen up and be more casual. I mean damn nowadays Orton lives to do his teeth clench in front of the camera.
