I find this ironic and disgusting at the same time. Randy Orton was once in the United States Marine Corps and was dishonorably discharged and put into a military prison for going AWOL twice and disobeying a commanding officer. So why on earth was Randy Orton put into this set when he shouldn't have been for his Military past? Its insulting to people who have served in the military

Because they put 4 of the biggest stars in the company in the set.

I'd guess because he does the tour and from the WWE and retailers point of views is one of the more popular superstars that they both want on the pegs.

This isn't a dumb thread, JC makes a valid point. Going AWOL and having a dishonorable discharge is disgraceful. It hampers you from getting most government jobs. So I understand the question. I know when randy was supposed to be in the marine 3 a lot of people complained because he is a disgrace and it was changed to the miz. It's obvious CHUD has never worn a real uniform before.

Yeah I never thought about that all I could thinnk about was why the hell he had red and blue tights LOL. But he was taken out of the Marine 3 due to his past so not sure why he was put in this set.

I would say there was absolutely no thought put into the line-up other than 4 of the best-selling figures. It is a bit ironic, but I'm pretty sure nobody in the military would be too overly offended by a toy.

You say that but WWE had hundreds of letters and e-mails when people found out he was supposed to be in the last marine movie. They bumped him for the miz in the end. This question does hold some logic because of this.
