Quick Orton news

[Guest Nemesis Enforcer]

Randy Orton’s suspension was not merely issued as a punishment—WWE expects Orton to mature during his time off so that his attitude, upon rejoining the team, will have greatly improved.

 

Thus, the sixty day timeframe is merely a minimum for the suspension. WWE only plans to bring Orton back when it is sure that he has put his issues behind him.

 

The right decision?

Virtually everyone within WWE—even those known as Orton sympathizers—supports the company’s decision to remove the wrestler from the road.

 

“He needs therapy, that’s my opinion,” said a WWE source. Past disciplinary actions have not curbed Orton’s behavioral issues, to the point where many feel that, absent a major intervention, there is no way the wrestler will truly change his attitude.

 

Tenure with WWE

Serving as Orton’s saving grace is the fact that he does have significant name value in the wrestling industry. The feeling is that by releasing him, WWE would be essentially handing TNA a weapon to use in the war.

 

Maven and Mark Jindrak, according to some, were not as lucky. There actually is a belief that WWE released the two as a way to separate Orton from his “party buddies.” If that was WWE’s intention, it failed. Even without his two friends, Orton’s party-hungry antics did not disappear.

If it's producing bad publicity for the company, then I could see them do it - like if they're regularly out, VERY drunk and making a scene, then how good would that look on the WWE?

 

The wrestlers are meant to be "ambassadors" for the company, so they can't go around acting like comeplete asses.

You forgot to add the secondary reason - that they were rubbish and nobody cared about them.

[Guest Hemme]

I'd fire him.

If the WWE want it's employees to respect their code of conduct, examples must be made, you can't have anyone thinking they are above the rules, it sets a bad example to up & comers.

You see that right there, WWE are starting to see TNA as a threat. This is only a good thing.

To quote the famous olympic gold medalist.. "Oh it's true... It's true.."

[Guest Danny Styles]

I think the best thing for it is to give him councelling for his 60 days, evaluate him at the end, if he need more give him anotehr 60 days, then actually TELL him and hammer it home he's on his last chance

Steve Redgrave?

Steve Redgrave?

 

I would laugh, but it's not very funny. Period.

If that's true, I just have to say one thing:

 

BRING BACK MAVEN!!!!!

 

Seriously, I thought Maven was turning into a very good wrestler and I enjoyed watching him. Mark Jindrak was okay, but he really never impressed me all that much except for his awesome dropkick.

christian going over was huge for TNA but as a big christian fan that i am, orton going over would be a lot bigger.

 

RANDY ORTON IN TNA, they guy would be unstoppable!

 

wwe will bring orton back, maybe not after two months are up but they won't fire him. he's too big a star! they will miss him, god, "the (great!!!!) khali has come in as the new heel"

[Guest Nemesis Enforcer]

Didn't want to start yet another thread about this but saw thins and thought i'd post it on here :)

 

PWTorch.com reports that Bruce Prichard was the WWE employee who caught Randy Orton violating a well-known lockerroom policy during WrestleMania week.

 

Prichard informed Vince McMahon of the incident, and Orton then received his suspension.

 

Said one wrestler about Prichard’s backstage behavior, “Prichard is the type to be your friend to your face, goad you into saying something negative about Vince, and then run to Vince and quote you to get you in trouble and score brownie points with the boss.”
