Jim Ross shares his thoughts on Randy

Carol — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:03:33 +0000

Jim Ross mentioned Randy in his latest blog, here is what he had to say:

Randy Orton becoming WWE Champion is a positive in my view. Orton appeals to the young, male demo better, arguably, than any one in WWE. Orton’s demeanor and in ring stylings are somewhat ‘Attitude Era’ oriented of which many fans miss. The pressure of being the WWE champion is pronounced and how the competitive Orton handles that stress and the demands on his time will help define this title reign. I really enjoy Randy’s work and hope to see him in some viable, one on one bouts going forward. If he is still the WWE Champion come WM27, Orton’s contributions to the biggest PPV of the year will be significant. One can almost see the wheels turning as to who the WWE Champion might face for the title in Atlanta…if his reign lasts that long. TBD.

Until then, I like the Orton-Sheamus pairing. Sheamus is evolving and will continue to up his game as we haven’t seen his best yet which is another positive.

Randy Orton is the #1 Trend Worldwide on Twitter!

Carol — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 05:38:25 +0000

Trending on Twitter can typically be a great moment for whomever is trending, but to be the #1 trending topic worldwide on a website as popular as Twitter for 3 hours and counting (yes, he’s still number one!) deserves it’s own post documenting this awesome occurrence.

It seems the WWE Fans were so pleased with the Summer Slam main event and Randy’s great match that opened Monday Night RAW tonight that he actually has been the most discussed topic on Twitter!

Congratulations Randy! And great work Orton Fans, that’s one way to show your support!

WWE’S Ultimate Iron Men

Carol — Thu, 06 May 2010 22:43:43 +0000

With the premiere of the much-anticipated Iron Man 2 storming theaters this weekend, WWE.com looks at Superstars who have gone the distance in forging their distinguished ring legacies.

Randy Orton is amongst the top WWE Superstars who have participated in an hour-long confrontation of this kind. At WWE Bragging Rights 2009, in the first-ever Anything Goes WWE Iron Man Match, John Cena barely defeated The Viper – six falls to Orton’s five – for the WWE Championship. But Orton’s relentless offense, and the use of TV monitors and even the pyrotechnics display, left a battered Cena hoping he never would have to face the Apex Predator for 60 minutes ever again.

Randy Orton DVD finally in the works?

Angela — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 22:36:11 +0000

WWE plans on releasing a three-disc DVD set on Randy Orton within the next year. It will feature a documentary and standard slate of matches.

More information on Randy’s character for “Big Red”

Angela — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:56:43 +0000

WWE Superstar Randy Orton portrays Ed Freel, the father of the bully reprimanded by Simon. When Freel’s son spreads a lie about Simon, Ed repeats the accusation and begins a campaign to get Simon fired. Since making his WWE debut in 2002, Orton has held the WWE Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship, the Intercontinental Championship and the World Tag Championship. A third-generation WWE Superstar, Orton is the son of WWE Hall of Famer “Cowboy Bob” Orton and the grandson of “The Big O,” the late Bob Orton, Sr. You can read the full article here

Ed Harris and Amy Madigan join the cast of “Big Red”

Angela — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:11:10 +0000

Ed Harris and Amy Madigan have joined the cast of World Wrestling Entertainment’s family drama “Big Red.”
WWE star Randy Orton is featured in the film, set during the mid-1960s, about a bright 12-year-old boy whose English teacher (Harris) pairs him up on a project with the school’s biggest outcast and social pariah, Stanley (“Big Red”). When Andy watches Stanley fearlessly confront a school bully, a series of events is unleashed that changes the lives of the boys and their teacher.

Madigan will play the school’s principal, while Orton portrays the father of the bully who campaigns to get the teacher fired.

Chase Ellison (“Tooth Fairy”), Daniel Roebuck (“Final Destination”), Molly Parker (HBO’s “Deadwood”) and Mia Rose Frampton (ABC Family’s “Make It or Break It”) round out the cast.

WWE Studios’ executive president Mike Pavone will direct from his own script, with lensing skedded to begin in and around New Orleans next week. He will produce the pic with Denise Chamian.

The project is the third that WWE has greenlit to self-finance, produce and release through its distribution deal with Samuel Goldwyn Films, inked last month (Daily Variety, Jan. 19). The casting of Harris and Madigan also continues WWE’s latest strategy of surrounding its wrestlers with established actors, rather than having them completely carry a film.

WWE Studios has already wrapped comedy “Knucklehead,” with Mark Feuerstein and wrestler Paul “Big Show” Wight and “Legendary,” formerly known as “Brother’s Keeper,” that co-stars Patricia Clarkson, Danny Glover and wrestler John Cena. Both will unspool in theaters this year. WWE will produce nine films virtually back-to-back through 2012.

Harris most recently wrote, directed, produced and starred in the western “Appaloosa,” while Madigan recently had a recurring role on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy.” The two are married.

Meet the 2010 All-WWE Team

Carol — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:32:15 +0000

click the banner to view the photo in full resolution!
In honor of the Big Game Sunday, February 7th, WWE.com has put on its collective coaching whistle and created the first-ever “All-WWE Team”, a dream sandlot American-style football team chosen from the current RAW, Smackdown and ECW rosters.

PUNTER – RANDY ORTON
Having a great punter helps their team control the field position battle. Similarly, The Viper has used the “head punt” to his advantage, leading to many victories, as well as sending many rivals and WWE Legends into nearby medical facilities. Orton’s abilities will give “All-WWE Team” opponents headaches – literally.

Shaemus says he’s going to ‘step all over Randy’?

Carol — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:56:38 +0000

FanHouse conducted a recent interview with the current WWE Champion, Shameus and in it he mentioned Randy:

If somebody had told you a year ago that not only would you be brought up to the main roster but you would beat John Cena to become the WWE Champion, what would you have said?
I would have said how quickly? (laughing) I’ve been telling people since day one that I would become WWE Champion. I’ve been telling people here, anyone who would listen, that I didn’t come all the way over here from Ireland and leave my home, my family, my house, friends, everything — the beautiful rain everyday and overcast skies — that to come to America to be part of a roster just to make up a couple of numbers. From day one, it’s always been serious for me. My goal has always been WWE Champion. People think right now I’m going to rest on those laurels and think “oh, another WWE Champion that can sit back” has another thing coming. My goal now is to be the best WWE Champion there ever has been, the longest reigning WWE champion. This Sunday at the Royal Rumble when I step in the ring with Randy Orton, he’s going to realize there is a changing of the guard. He’s going to realize there is someone more vicious, more vindictive then him. Just like St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland, I’m going to step all over that viper and let him know who is the greatest WWE Champion.

“24″ Actor Puts Over WWE, calls Randy Orton His Favorite

Carol — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 06:03:13 +0000

Freddie Prinze, Jr. appeared on Wednesday’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” in support of this weekend’s “24? season premiere, and a discussion of his WWE stint became a highlight of the conversation.

Prinze, Jr. expressed legitimate glee over his eight month tenure as a creative team member, noting that anyone who has seen Andre the Giant can attest to the magic of wrestling.

He joked that he currently has more friends in wrestling than in Hollywood; Undertaker, for instance, was one of the individuals who sent a congratulatory text when Prinze, Jr.’s wife was pregnant.

After calling the WWE roster the best group of guys and girls with whom one could hope to work, the actor identified Randy Orton as his favorite Superstar, referencing the on-air interaction they had when he guest-hosted RAW. The Orton mention got a nearly non-existent pop from the crowd.

RIP Eddie Fatu AKA: Umaga, You will be missed.

Carol — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:52:14 +0000

Ang and myself are deeply saddened to hear of the news of the passing of Eddie Fatu also known as Umaga to us WWE Fans. Many of you watched Umaga on your television’s week-after-week taking on the best from the RAW and Smackdown! Rosters before he was ultimately released earlier this year. No matter the reasoning behind his release he left his mark in this business and I’m proud to say I enjoyed watching him in the ring carrying on his family’s legacy and will miss him.

We hope you all will keep Eddie, his wife and children along with the entire Fatu family in your prayers in hope for strength to get through this painful loss of a dear son/brother/husband/father and friend of many. God bless.

Feel free to leave your condolences to the Fatu family in the comments below.

Carol — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:59:08 +0000

Former WWE Diva and Diva of the Decade, Trish Status recently did a with Desi Live where she was asked who she thought was the best wrestler in pro wrestling right now, and this is what she had to say.

Interviewer: Besides yourself, the best wrestler in pro wrestling today?
Trish: I most enjoy Randy Orton right now. I think he’s really charismatic. I really enjoy his matches. He is the most wonderful seller, like, the way he sells a move is just money. I’m enjoying his stuff right now.

Interviewer: Do you think he could be a good guy though? I don’t know if he has like, a personality like The Rock or anybody.
Trish: I think he could. I think he’ll get so over as a heel, that it’ll just be a natural thing that a heel turn into a a really good guy. And I think he’ll be good at it.

Randy-Orton.com now on Twitter!!

Carol — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 23:46:08 +0000

As you can see above, Ang and myself have taken the liberty to finally make a twitter for Randy-Orton.com! We know this has become quite the trend for websites, and though we have twitters for our other websites we run we didn’t think having one for R-O would come in handy. Though after some long thought we thought what the hell!

You can expect updates when we post new photos, results, videos, news, interviews to be posted as well as rumors which if you haven’t noticed aren’t really posted on the main site to save time of the clutter when 9 times out of 10 the rumors are false.

Follow RandyOdotcom @ Twitter!
We’d love to hear what you guys think!
