SirSmUgly Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Stay the hell outta AEW, Orton. I'm trying to enjoy a weekly wrestling show that's on a major network for the first time in literal years. Don't fuck this up for me. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not the guy that they used to compare to him? Then you team them up with The Revival. Boom, you got a new faction.

joseph2112 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I am going to say with almost 100% confidence that this is Orton positioning himself for more of that sweet, sweet Fox fuck money. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I think Orton sucks within the confines of his current environment, and that an AEW run would be analogous to that of Lugers after jumping back to WCW. I'd also be more into him than Swagger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Him, and MJF would be make the perfect skeevy pairing, and Orton wouldn’t need to communicate whatsoever. Edited October 21, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I feel like various times on podcasts I hear AEW related people (Young Bucks and I think Cody on Jericho’s pod a while ago, and Jim Ross recently) really put over Orton as a guy they’d love to work with and implying that WWE isn’t using him enough. It always stood out to me. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that’s probably a covert mission on AEW’s part to sway him publicly (and maybe even privately). Like how the Warriors were able to get Durant through years of high fives and bud texts. The Octopus Knows..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Randall has sucked for years now. I'm just waiting for the narrative shift from those who've criticized him for years putting him over now as this great underutilized talent.

Cobra Commander Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 are you all not down with the concept of a Cody vs Randy Orton match refereed by Ted Dibiase Jr? (if they can't find Ted Jr, then they'll bring Manu in for that spot) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Orton may not be a moves guy, but he’s got great psychology. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Orton's been great the last few years, but the highlights of those years have been rehashing feuds from a decade ago. A jump to AEW would be a welcome change, and his style would be just what that roster needs.

He needs to drop the WWE rest hold shit. Take a page from Cody’s book. If you want to get heat, and stall for time, then dip to the outside to jaw jack with fans. All the wrestling reviewers who used to give wrestlers shit about “Taking a powder” are almost long gone now.

NikoBaltimore Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 From what I've seen/heard of Orton out of the ring I would be fine if I never saw him again. Him in AEW would not work for me and would just be a bad move. Plus I'm sure he'd need lots of cash to bring him over and I just don't see him as being worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Has Elias publicly hinted at wanting out or has he expressed such thoughts privately and Orton has now dropped him in it a little? That tweet to me doesn't look like Orton actually showing an interest in AEW and more just shit stirring among the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natural strange charisma, but can’t wrestle worth a shit. He probably is disappointed privately that he isn’t being used. I don’t think he’d be much use to AEW. NWA however I feel he’d make a great addition to that roster. Edited October 21, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about that part of the rumor; would have chose different wording. But it kinda fits in retrospect. Sandow and Elias would be a great team for NWA.

I just watched the 2nd episode of Powerrr last night and man I'm just loving it. NWA and AEW (and maybe to a lesser degree NXT and 205, credit where credit is due) have really reignited my interest in wrestling overall lately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
