What makes his wrong and ours right? Again, I find most of his work incredibly boring but I'm not going to criticize him for managing to be set financially by choosing to do the least amount of spotty and self-punishing work possible. Like I originally asked, what's in it for him to completely change his style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenalysis Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 The day I never see Randy Orton again is a good day. He is my least favorite main eventer of the past 20 years, and not just because he is a deserter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends, is it the attitude that after 20 years now, people can look at the people who did it for the art and realize Hogan is still alive, in about as good shape as you can be in after wrestling for 40 years, and financially secure enough to do what he wants with his life instead of show up in front of those same armories for $8?

sabremike Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 If I just came off one of the worst feuds in wrestling history culminating in a match that will be legendary for setting a new standard of awful I'd probably lay low, but that's just me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm glad Randal is all pissy right now. Maybe this will make his feud and match with Jinder a bit more interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Hogan wasn't in great financial shape after his divorce until the Gawker lawsuit victory. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 The only issue I have with what Orton is saying is that it's coming from someone whom when I hear his entrance music I turn back to football/basketball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogan's body is destroyed. Eight back surgeries in five months. He can barely move at walking speed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I think I'm probably the only one that thinks Orton posted that note as a way of making fun of Rip Rogers, but maybe that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Per Meltzer - Lesnar's TV schedule will look something like the following. (His exact quote is "They have a battle plan for Brock in place") June 12 (RAW) - Lafayette, LA June 26 (RAW) - Staples Center July 3 (RAW) - Go home for Great Balls of Fire (Phoenix) July 9 - Great Balls of Fire July 10 (RAW) - Houston And then "several shows" in August since he will be on Summerslam He doesn't know who he is defending against in July but it should become clearer after RAW tonight (and it could still be Braun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valcourt Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm sorry if this makes me look stupid... But was Orton agreeing with Rip Rogers? I seriously can't tell, even with his longer tweet about drawing better crowds on the Europe tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Oh BTW - none of the kickoff matches made the Wrestlemania DVD (well at least the US version - on the UK version they are squeezed in as blu-ray extras) But JUST LIKE BEING ON THE MAIN SHOW~! http://www.wrestlingdvdnetwork.com/wwe-releases-wrestlemania-33-dvd-exclusives-steelbook/135296/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm assuming of course that the talent DOES get royalties based on sales.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think at a certain age people grow up, but that will obviously never be the case for Randy. Some people aren't as fortunate as Randy to waltz into a top WWE gig because of their father. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After receiving a bad-conduct discharge and spending a month in the brig for repeated desertion. Also, Randall writes exactly how I'd expect him to write. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
