"Wrestling the Truth: Randy Orton"?
It's on the WFigs homepage.
Randy's a great speaker. He's got a good perception of the company's future. And it was great to see him actually admit that he's an ass in real life.
Good stuff, good article. Usually I just skim through stuff like that, but it was a good, short read.
I've got a newfound respect for the guy. I understand where he's coming from, and I honestly believe that he's an integral part of the company's future.

I just read it. Very good read. I find it cool how he doesn't put up a front, and flat out tells you he is a dick in real life. Some people fault him for that...I don't. Why? Because that doesn't affect me what so ever. I watch the guy in the ring, I don't hang with him on a regular basis. Like I said, good read. Thanks for telling me about it.

I found the interview to be pretty good. Randy Orton has an ego and he's a dick. That's just him. I don't care what he does when he's at Hooters, he puts on some good matches and that's the extent of what I'll look into.

i like what HBK said about him...reminds Shawn of him at that age. A guy who knows he's good and has a huge ego...but unlike Shawn, i dont see Orton getting over it haha

I'd be a dick too if there was always someone bugging me for something I don't owe them. Sure, it was his decision to be a somewhat public figure, what with being on TV every week... but I bet the constant "OMG TAKE A PIC WIFF ME" and "SIGN DISS!" **** HAS to drive someone up a wall.
That's why when/if I see someone that is an entertainer, I just say, "don't mean to take up your time, but thanks for busting your ass doing ______ for my entertainment." - If they wanna talk, they talk, if not they say thanks, I say thanks, and it's the end of it. I don't know why more people can't possibly get their heads out of their asses and do that, but whatever.
EDIT: I like how he mentioned Paul London. ;D

When i went to wrestlemania 16 and they Access (i believe it was called) people were downright rude to some of the guys. I'm sitting there, like 11 and shaking and being polite to Shawn Michaels and i hear some 30 year old fat wash up ask Shawn about pills. |

I think a lot of times wrestlers that are heels don't sign not because they are heels, but because they know who the autographs are for. People booed the sh*t out of Edge at the house show I went to, and I heard everyone around me talking about how much they hated Edge (and I was like a man alone, wearing my "Crude, Lewd, and Tattooed" t-shirt), but as soon as he walked outside, everyone was yelling his name, wanting his autograph. I think sometimes the wrestlers are a little leary to sign because it could very well just end up on eBay, or in some kid's garbage can.

How the  do they deserve ANYTHING for just being fans? Randy Orton owes no fan a damn thing, HE'S the one in the ring putting HIS heath at risk by being a professional wrestler. Sure, at a autograph signing I could see him being a prick being a problem, but I'm talking about general public places. If he's out eating, shopping, or trying to have a good time and people won't leave him alone, I wouldn't blame him for a being a dick. Yeah, I know the fans pay to see him wrestle, but that's what they pay for, to see him perform. That doesn't entitle them to hound him, or anyone else. And Blue, Paul London is the in man, period. Probably my favorite wrestler right after Ultimo Dragon. |

Adambomb and Duran bring up great points. At Autograph signings, I am sure Orton is more than happy to do so. But like Duran said, why should Orton sign anything for the people who complain about him being boring, or would just put it on ebay? Why should he sign something for some jackass who, on the computer, calls him a prick, or a douchebag? That goes for any wrestler, not just Randy Orton.

Exactly man, I'm sure people would tell him 'thanks' for signing or taking a picture with him, but how often do they really say thanks for him doing his job? Sure, he might not take huge bumps, but he still puts himself at risk for the general publics entertainment. ...I'm sure it feels good for any wrestler just to be told, "thank you," and leave it at that. |

Probably my favorite wrestler right after Ultimo Dragon. He's doing it for a reason and I'm pretty sure Money doesn't just fall from the sky. Where does that money come from? Fans who pay. Where does that money go who pay? Not all of it, but some of it into his salary. Therefore, they are fans who are desering of a picture and an autograph. I don't care about "Personal space" Whaa whaa, boo hoo. Get over it. I'm a pro wrestler and I get hound all day for pictures and autographs and I suck it up |
