I never thought I'd say this but Orton sold that pretty well. The whole "I snapped" thing. It really seemed as if he was having an internal struggle after doing that.

How vicious of a kick was that though? wow. Last week's Sweet Chin Music on Cena looked wicked but this weeks "punt" by Orton just looked sick.

I'm actually finding myself starting to like Orton as a main guy.

I was so hoping he punted Stephanie too... Just would have been so classic.

So now what... Orton going to turn into "Stone Cold" Randy Orton?

I think its gonna happen mainly for this reason. No matter how bad he was the week before he seems to get cheered more. and I remember thats what happend with Austin. so I think he will be like austin in the fact that he is no matter what he does, he's gonna get cheered.

I was half hoping he would look stressed about kicking McMahon and then as Steph was calling for help.. He runs up as everyone is huddled over vince and kicks her in the head too. hah. Would sell even more of him being a cold blooded killer type. However, this way it makes room for another side of Orton with what happened.

That's what It seemed like to me. but instead of it being SCSA and Vince... It may be leading into a Stephanie McMahon and Orton thing.

Orton has gotten better at almost everything and I doubt many would argue that

But as an Austin type of person I could oddly see, I mean Austin beat the crap out of everyone good or bad, he didn't care and that is what Orton pretty much does

And think about it, the two people in his crew have a weird connection to Austin

Ted's dad was his manger, and Austin had many battles with the Rhodes family

So why not push him in an Austin type of way

I don't know if they should push him like Austin outright but if you're talking about the bad ass who has no respect for authority and such then I say go for it. Orton is already known as being kind of a dick so the character could work pretty well for him.

The thing where he lacks in that respect is the ability to truly cut a memorable promo. Austin could do it at the drop of a hat. So it could be hard for them to give him a mega push like that.

However, if they pushed him with a young guy who has no respect for anyone but himself (McMahon's included)... then i'd buy into it.

Same here. He really sold that well, and his mic skills are awesome by now. They were already good when he started but still.

And yeah, I guess McMahon sold that kick well too.

This RAW was pretty good actually, as I watch it for the drama anyway. For wrestling, I'll turn to ROH.

/nod. While not really much of an Orton fan, I thought he did a good job last night and plays his character well. The only thing I'm wondering (not a criticism) is where they go to from here. I read the Stone Cold comparisons, and the only problem with that is that McMahon's the face right now, rather than being the evil boss that screws over his out-of-control employee.

Vince vs. Orton at Wrestlemania? Or maybe a trio representing Vince vs. Legacy at Wrestlemania? And if the latter, who'd you choose?

Duh. Vince, Shane and Triple H vs The Legacy, with Shane turning on his father for the finish. That's money, right there, that is. Especially if Vince 'brings back' the Million Dollar Man and The American Dream for a one-night-only tag match agaisnt their kids or something...

[djthefunkchris]

Something that wasn't discussed....

The Dustin/Cody thing. What you guys make out of that? The return of a serious Dustin Rhodes?
