I kinda feel like WWE is wasting Orton

Ever since he won the title, the crowd has been fading. They were hyped up so much and then he finally won the title and that's as far as he goes. He's not the best wrestler and he certainly isn't the best guy on the mic. I think people wanted an anti-Cena and Randy fit that role, but then they got it, they decided they didn't like it.

BEST EVARRRRR!!!!!

They really need to turn the screw against Orton and have him come out fighting but losing against Nexus & a fresh heel Cena - I would try and eek out 'the' heel turn until next month to make more of an impact as now everyone is either expecting it, hoping for it or going 180 with expectations of Orton turning heel which would be awful. It would go some way to recover his momentum.

Also try and inject some more personality into the guy, street clothes has a way of doing this - see Del Rio, JBL, hell that one time Sheamus was on the AW show - gives superstars an identity instead of one of the bunch. Seeing Orton in shirt of the month and trunks all the time is boring.

His character is ing ****.

He needs to stop worrying about being the cool Tweener, and start becoming the heel he built his career off off.

He's a ing idiot.

He built his career off of being a cocky, arrogant, concieted heel, and now he's a ing snake. You cant just spend years of your life making a name as "this" type of heel, just to become "that" type of heel right when you become a top guy.

It just pisses me off to the point how much of a waste he's become to me. I hated Orton for a longgg time before 2008. That was because he was a good heel. Then I started liking him. Now I hate him because his character is crap, and I dont want to see him on my television screen. I want to like the guy, but to me he looks like an idiot every time he goes out there, bald, orange, starts spazzing out, and pounces on people. Wtf is that?

Dear Orton: You will never be Stone Cold. Stop acting like him and move on to the next gimmick.

lol u mad

It seems like its all Cena and Nexus. It really does feel like Orton is the third man. I really do prefer heel Orton, but a face Orton is better than any Barrett.

Usually I try not to be so pessimistic, but it really seems like this. I get it, Nexus is a cool, fresh, original idea (more or less). But there's basically no good mid-card feuds going on. Goldust vs. DiBiase is the only mid-card feud that I can think of off the top of my head on Raw, and it's not as good as it could be because DiBiase is bland as hell.

They're oversaturating the show with Nexus. And on top of that, there's STILL no reason as to why they're there. They've talked about how they have a greater purpose when they beat up Vince. I'd be fine if they just were tired of being disrespected on NXT and wanted to be Champions, but the fact that they SAID they had a greater purpose that they couldn't yet reveal bothers the hell out of me.

Not to mention it's walking a fine line of being like the nWo when people just went in and out. Hennig (I only say that name because I hate spelling his gimmick name) and Husky had potential of being interesting characters, and now they're just cannon fodder in Nexus. I understand they probably wanted to beef up the group since Tarver and Skip got injured, but they're not even trying with the characters anymore. There's no given reason as to why they're in the group.

Less is more. The less Nexus I see on screen during Raw, the more I'm going to care when they are on screen. And hopefully they can build up mid-card feuds. I want Daniel Bryan feuding with CM Punk or William Regal, I don't care who. But the man is built for feuds. Who knows what Miz is doing, but give him a good feud.

OH, I just remembered Morrison and Sheamus feuding. Definite step in the right direction.

kdone.

i agree that orton is kind of being wasted right now. he has no competition. cena and barrett are doing their thing. wwe had to separate orton and sheamus for a while. and jericho is on a hiatus of sorts. now would be the perfect time for wwe to start really pushing some of the younger stars like the miz or ted dibiase. i think miz is ready and ted dibiase may not be ready for the title yet but he sure could have an interesting feud with orton over the title and lose in the end. is cm punk hurt or not? i read that he was hurt then i read that he said he wasnt hurt but then i didnt see him on raw last week so im all confused.

I too feel that Orton has been somewhat lost in the shuffle with the focus of Raw being Cena/Nexus.
