They need to push Orton again!

[adamclark52]

There's an old saying; "if you throw enough shit at the wall, eventually something will stick". They've been throwing Orton at the wall for ten years.

The only time I ever enjoyed that guy was his match with Mick Foley at Backlash in 2004 up until his feud with the Undertaker in late 2005.

I just like him as a whole. He's a great wrestler and even with his bad roles I always loved him.

I honestly thought you were joking when you said push him again. That's the (sarcastic) reaction he usually gets.

They have to get on finding a new face SOON. Because if he keeps going at the rate he is now he will just crash hard one day and they'll be fucked. But the problem is that they've waited so long and depended on him for so long while they should have spent the last three years building someone. Now they just throw people like Ryback at the crowd, expect the crowd to love them and it doesn't work out long-term.

Smarks have been saying Cena's time is up since 2006. WWE "threatened" a heel-turn in the build up to Wrestlemania but of course that went nowhere.

I'm not making a smark comment about him being done. I've just see the guy going non-stop for ten years, doing house shows (which I think he does), coming back from injuries probably to early, doing PR appearances, filming movies, doing TV interviews; it has to be catching up to him. The WWE schedule is brutal for wrestlers alone, but has to be ten times worse for him. The workload probably played a big role in his marriage ending.

I smarked out hating the guy in 2005 but these days I really could care a less.

So that would be undeserved push #951 for his boring ass. The only way i'm in favor of another big push from him is if he turns heel and goes back to playing the character he did when he was feuding with Triple H going into wrestlemania a few years ago. That's the one and only time his character was ever interesting at all. The guy is just awful as a face and has done nothing to earn the unbelieveable amount of chances the WWE has given him to make him a mega star. He's very good in the ring but absolute shit on the mic, just like his dad was. I know Orton is only in his early 30s but the guy has nothing left to do. Unless they want to use him to help build up some newer guys I see no purpose for him anymore. He's never going to be the guy for them, though Vince will probably never stop trying to make him the guy even though he's got ten years of proof that Orton will never be that.

As for Cena, i've read some online reports that he's working pretty banged up these days which really shouldn't come as a surprise. Supposedly his run as a full time performer will be coming to an end in the near future.
