This is a serious question here, is anyone here actually entertained by anything he does? I literally find him to be the only person on the roster who manages to have boring matches with some of the more talented guys on the roster.

Not as much as I was in 2004-2008. He was really good.

No, no I'm not. It's hard to believe he's the same person that was The Legend Killer.
When he cut the backstage promo where he told everyone to kiss his ass a few months ago, that was the most I wa entertained by him in years.

No he sucks. I just want this guy  Stop. Orton is okay. I hated him (in a kayfaybe way) when he was the Legend Killer and I can appreciate his work now. But man, ever since around Legacy I just can't stand looking at him. |

I look at his overall career and can say that I honestly enjoyed him. But, for the past couple years he has just been pretty meh to me.

I think he is one of the most technically sound guys there. There's nothing in that ring he doesn't do well and I think he's got the best power slam in the business today.

I do. He makes everything look effortless, does so many little things in the ring other guys no longer bother to do, and plays a perfect cowardly heel. It's why I didn't mind seeing them put the belt on him, because I thought if done correctly he and DB could have had a great program. It's unfortunate they wasted his character on another program with Cena instead.

I used to hate Orton big time. He was my least favorite guy on the roster from the day he debuted up until the end of 2011. Then he suddenly started to win me over and I began to appreciate his work more. He's not my favorite guy by any means, but I don't hate him.

He's one of the best wrestlers on the roster. That said, he's probably one of the least motivated wrestlers on the roster.

As proven by last night's Smackdown main event....
Randy Orton HAS the ability to put on great matches. He just doesn't USE that ability all too often.

He bores me to death. I have no respect for him since he was booted from the USMC

The last time I genuinely enjoyed Randy Orton was 2007. He's boring as crapnow.

When Randy Orton is motivated, he is one of the best wrestlers on the roster. His feud with Christian in 2011 over the World Heavyweight Championship is proof of that. Every match they had were great.
That being said, Orton reminds me of an old-school heel. He doesn't use many flash moves (apart from the RKO), and has a very old-school mentality in terms of psychology by using many chin locks and rest holds. His style is ,in someways,designed to make people not like him.

I can definitely see why some people would call Orton boring or dull. Personally, I really like him as a wrestler. Always have. Only problem I have is that he seems to be almost "lost in the shuffle" a bit with the current storyline. Triple H & Stephanie clearly overshadow him as far as top heels in the company and he almost has the feel of a guy who's just keeping the belts warm for the "real" champion to be crowned. But, IMO, he's always pretty spot on in his ring work, just not overly flashy or grandiose, which often translates to boring and dull for some fans (not necessarily anyone here, just some fans in general). Really comes down to what type of wrestling style a person likes. I personally like Orton's style, but can certainly see how other folks wouldn't.

Character is boring but ring work is entertaining. Just like Cena.

Against the right guy Orton is very entertaining. Daniel Bryan brings out the best in him.
Right now his character is dreadful. He's portrayed as a little bitch, well HHH's bitch.
