nate Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Has anyone been more injury prone than Orton? I'd be interested in seeing a comparative analysis of his time on the DL vs his time active. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only remember one injury, his bicep tear putting him out for four months in 2002. Edited December 30, 2019 by The Natural 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a guy that is in such terrific shape (and anyone that doesn't think pro-wrestlers are in terrific shape doesn't know any), the dude is incredibly fragile. It isn't like he's doing a lot of high-risk or difficult moves, Randy pretty much wrestles the same smart, reasonably safe style of match no matter what. The dude is just like bone china... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t Wade Barrett on the dL more than he was active during his wwe tenure? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Barrett's a good shout and he wasn't there long, 'bout five years from the original NXT in Feb 2010 till 2015.

Bad genetics, innit? The Orton family have always had a hard time with injuries. I hear his Dad broke his arm once, and two years later it still hadn't healed! Unbelievable! There is actually a video out there of a dweeby internet reporter interviewing Randy Orton on YouTube, and calling him fragile TO HIS FACE. Orton did not take it very well. Boy lucky the cameras were there, I reckon. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy lucky the cameras were there, I reckon. Holy shit, I'm 5 '10 and 260 lbs. (basically built like a tank) with close to twenty years of Muay Thai practice and I can't imagine calling any pro-wrestler "fragile" TO HIS FACE, we can say that Randy is fragile for a pro-wrestler, but I guarantee that in my prime I wouldn't have lasted two days doing what he does week in and week out. Those guys are tough on a level that most of us can't even begin to imagine. At the convention where I hung out with Raven, he picked me up for a slam just fooling around in a hotel room, dude felt like he was made out of concrete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) That really is the end of an era. I started back in 1993 as my Grandma and Grandad got Sky before us, a reason why I got into pro wrestling. We've had Sky since Survivor Series 1994.

I've known the guy for close to forty years and while I wouldn't call him "Big Dave", the dude is in fantastic shape. I think he still power lifts at 61.

AxB Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The first WWE show on BT Sport is Smackdown on Friday. Same channel as UFC, for anyone keeping score. SKY has Bellator MMA, and no pro wrestling (for the first time in its history). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only remember one injury, his bicep tear putting him out for four months in 2002. Don't think its a case of Kane only having one injury. Its just the only injury that forced him to take time off. I recall after some superplex spot with Show where you could clearly see him in plenty of pain that Kane was never really able to wrestle with the same level of mobility he had before then again. 3 hours ago, The Natural said: On the subject of injuries, I miss the Velveteen Dream.

I still remember him separating his shoulder pounding the mat while prepping for an RKO against Edge. He injured himself during a No Mercy N64 taunt spot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Y'all see what I did there.) Use to see Byron "Big Daddy Yum Yum" Wilcot at WIldkat shows. He would bring out a hot pink and purple Kaboodle,that had a purple spray painted shakeweight in it. He was decent in ring,was shocked when that gif of him in japan came out. Also wasn't he the one that lied and said he was the father of Awesome Kong's kid she lost?

On the other hand, he deserves a better introduction to the main roster crowd than being one of many guys standing around in the ring by HHH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
