WWE Senior Vice President of Live Events “Road Dogg” Brian James took to an episode of his “Oh… You Didn’t Know?” podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including why it’s challenging to write storylines and promos for WWE legend Randy Orton.
Road Dogg said, “You’re swimming upstream with Randy Orton.” “Because he’s too much of a prick to be a babyface, but he’s too cool to be a heel. And he does both so well. Orton is so good, how do you write for him perfectly?”
“I told Randy Orton right to his face, the first time I ever met him, ‘You’re the best I’ve ever seen at this.’ And what I was talking about was TV wrestling — working the cameras, and working his facials, and working his entrance. Everything is contemplated and executed with television perfection in mind, and very rarely does he come up short. His body’s always in great shape. He takes care of himself. I can’t wait for him to come back. … He can do whatever. He can pull off anything.”
