'''Randall "Randy" Keith Orton''' (born on April 1, 1980) is an American professional wrestler currently signed to the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]], and is wrestling on its [[WWE Smackdown|Smackdown brand]]. Orton is a third-generation professional wrestler; his grandfather Bob Orton, Sr., father "Cowboy" Bob Orton, as well as his uncle Barry O, all competed in the professional wrestling industry.
Before being promoted to the main WWE roster, Orton trained in and wrestled for Mid-Missouri Wrestling Association-Southern Illinois Conference Wrestling for a month. He was then sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). There, Orton held the OVW Hardcore Championship on two separate occasions.
Line 147:
** John has said multiple times that he respects Randy as a competitor. Randy hasn't said it as much, but he has said it before. Albeit reluctantly.
** [[Christian]] ''was'' one of these, however his increasingly desperate begging for another shot after continuously losing has resulted in Orton getting frustrated with facing him.
* [[The Worf Barrage]]: Ran into this a bit in his 2011 feud with [[Mark Henry]]. Easily RKO'd him in a non-match context (the infamous "CheeRKO") that ended with a [[Crowning Moment of Funny|jumping split and a bunch of posturing]], but when the ''Night Of Champions'' match rolled around, the move that had served as a [[One Hit KO]] on so many Superstars (including [[Mark Henry]] at points) was suddenly woefully ineffective. End result? Randy pretty much got his ass handed to him.
** Similarly, Randy only needed one RKO to defeat [[The Undertaker]] at ''Summerslam 2005''. At ''Armageddon 2005'', ''three'' RKOs and [[Beat Them At Their Own Game|a Tombstone]] were not enough, and Randy lost.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Just ask [[Stephanie McMahon|Stephanie]]...or Stacy Keibler, for that matter. But especially Stephanie.
