Ok, I'm sure this has been touched on, but I don't remember seeing it and for some reason it crossed my mind again tonight and I though I'd discuss it with you guys.
How is Randy Orton a face?...I'm kinda confused by this and let me explain why.
Lets go back to the days of Legacy. A time when Orton was still a heel and he did a great job at being a heel. I didn't really like Orton, but I liked his character. He was full of himself, and had this maniacal side to him at times (especially just before he would punt someone). As far as Legacy goes, I didn't really like any of the members at the time, but for some reason really liked them as a faction...odd, but to me it makes sense.
Alright during Legacy's run together, I remember Orton belittling both Cody and Ted at times. Whether he was just pointing out their mistakes or even through physicality on occasion. Yet when it came time to split Legacy (which happened too soon in my opinion) somehow Orton became the face against Cody and Ted. Granted it wouldn't have made sense to have the faces out number the heels, but I would think if anyone would have been a face from this situation it would have been either Cody or Ted standing up to Orton.
Since WrestleMania 26 Orton has been a 'good guy'. From the best I can see he's supposed to be similar to Steve Austin, a good guy with an edge. I understand he's got his fans, and for them I'm happy. But for me personally, I just don't get Orton as a 'good guy'. Other than his matches with Christian, I've been bored with him since Mania 26.
Does anyone else feel the same way? Maybe he just made such an impression on me as a heel during his time in Legacy that it kinda makes it hard for me to see him as anything else.
