Randy Orton "Legend Killer"

Hi all GamerGeek back again with another blog this time about Randy "The Legend Killer""The Viper" Orton. There is a few rumors going around he is going to retiring soon so I wanted to do a blog on him.

Randy comes from a wrestling legacy. His grandfather was Bob Orton, his uncle is Barry Orton and his father is Cowboy Bob Orton Jr. Been trained by his uncle and father he started training and working as a referee WOW where his uncle Barry was a wrestler. 

In 2001 he signed with WWF he worked out of Ohio Valley Wrestling. In 2002 he made his first WWF television appearance where he fought Hardcore Holly. 

He looks like such a baby face 😍. He had a small feud with Holly after this he was drafted to Raw where he sustained an shoulder injury. When he was healed from his injury he then joined forces with Triple H, Ric Flair and Batista creating Evolution. They kinda ran the WWF from 2003 to 2005. At Armageddon 2003 Randy took on RVD for the Intercontinental title which he won. On the same night Ric and Batista won the tag title and Triple H won the World Heavyweight Championship. Leading up to Unforgiven 2003 he started a feud with Shawn Michaels calling the match Legend vs Legend Killer. He then went into face Mick Foley one match seen Orton being thrown onto hundreds of thumbtacks. He held the Intercontinental title for 210 days, after losing to title to Edge, he went on to win a 20 man battle royal match to become number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. This title no longer was held by Triple H, it was Chris Benoit that was champ at the time. At SummerSlam 2004 Orton became the youngest World Champion in WWE history. Benoit congratulated Orton after the match, shaking his hand for showing the ability to "be a man".

The following night Evolution celebrate with Orton after his match, Batista having Orton on his shoulders, Triple H giving him the thrumbs up smiling. The smile slowly faded with Triple H going from a thrumbs up to a thrumbs down and Batista dropping Orton to the match. This was Triple H moment to beat up Orton and hit him with the title kicking him out of Evolution. The following Raw Triple H order Orton to hand over his title to him. Orton looked like he was going to hand over the title however he ended up spitting in Triple H's face and hitting him with the title belt. He lost the title to Triple H a month later at Unforgiven 2004.

Orton has been in 5 stables in the WWE - Evolution, Rated-RKO (with Edge if you didn't already guess that), The Legacy ( Leader with Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr), The Authority ( Aww the list there if you know you know, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon ran it) 😂😂, The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, and the late great Luke Harper)  and finally RK- Bro( Matt Riddle). 

I just want to say I loved the stable Legacy. The name and the member was so creative. 

However I do feel now Riddle beings out the funny side of Orton that everyone loves, cause Riddle is just that funny.😂😂👇👇👇

Randy has held 20 titles in WWE, 2 Royal Rumbles and 1 Money in the Bank.

WWE Championship (10 times)
World Heavyweight Championship (4 times)
WWE Intercontinental Championship (1 time)
WWE United States Championship (1 time)
World Tag Team Championship (1 time) – with Edge
WWE Raw Tag Team Championship (2 times, current) – with Riddle
WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship (1 time) – with Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper
Money in the Bank (2013)
Royal Rumble (2009, 2017)

I have to put Slammy Award Hashtag of the Year (2014) – #RKOOuttaNowhere 

Theses are my favourite #RKOOuttaNowhere

WrestleMania against Seth Rollins went for the Curb Stomp, Randy throws him in the air and hits it to win the match.
Evan Bourne went for Air Bourne his finisher, Orton caught him mid air 😘
This one is only recently, Chad Cable was going for a moonsault from the top rope for Orton to jump in and hit the RKO.

Well I hope we will still be seeing Orton with the company, wrestling for a few more years. If he does retire, he should be a manager for Riddle or even train the new, younger talents 

That is all for now till next time 🤙

Hi all GamerGeek back again with another blog about a WWE wrestler called Test aka Andrew Martin. During the end of the 90's and start of the 00's Andrew was a big star.  He first appeared in the WWF in 1998 he joined The Corporation ( I will be doing a blog on this stable soon). FYI this was Vince McMahon's stables with most of the locker room. This was one of the best stables in the WWE history as it was a best feud between Vince and Austin 😘 another time. One of his best storylines was when he started an on-screen relationship with Stephanie McMahon. It led to an amazing match at SummerSlam 1999 between Shane and Test in a "love her or leave her" match. Shane has a posse with him called "The Mean Street posse" 🤭🤭 so of course during this match they got involved. During the match Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco ran out to help out Test knocking out the posse 🤭. Test of course won the match much to Stephanie's delight. They were to m...

Hi all GamerGeek back again with another blog about a wrestler fighting out of Montreal Canada....... Born and raised in Dublin Ireland Ladies and Gentlemen Adam Ace  Adam Ace aka Mark Flanagan always wanted to be a wrestler. He started wrestling in early 2011 in a small wrestling school in Dublin. It would take him a 2 hour bus ride each way from his house to train for 2 to 3 hours, 4 to 5 times a week. Now that is a man determined to be a wrestler. "Ever since I could walk I wanted to wrestle, I loved the pageantry, the athleticism, the story telling. Wrestlers were real life superhero’s and I gravitated towards that."  When he started his career he had 3 characters with terrible names and awful gimmicks. He really want to make this his career and to be taken seriously so he re-branded himself. He would study wrestlers names and noticed most wrestlers were using names that sounds like real names.  " I started looking at wrestlers names again and noticed a ...
