Even though he was in main events and had won titles a lot before this; Orton became THAT ? officially in 2009 when the Viper gimmick was born. Up until that point he was just another top guy, he became a huge star that year and he was the hottest on the roster and hotter than he ever been before....
And then HHH beat him at WM 25.
When I was on sabbatical from wrestling his match with Undertaker at WM 21 was the eye opener for me as well. -
Legend killer gimmick>>>>>>>>>

it's hard to tell. orton had a lot of trill moments in his career
legend killer gimmick
refusing to surrender the world title at triple h's request and spitting in his face
punting ? head off
the viper gimmick, giving the entire McMahon family that work
it's realized a while back orton never had his WM moment. I guess you can say him beating cena and triple h in a triple threat was his moment. I didn't expect that. but WM25 should've been his moment. I don't know why vince or creative didnt put orton over that night after the blood feud him and hhh were having. it killed him momentum imo -

That ? match with Foley at backlash 2004, that ? earned his stripee and learned not to do a running RKO ever again

I think when Evolution turned on him that made him great in the sense that he was able to use that pedestal to catapult himself into the legendary Legend Killer gimmick.
98% of superstars wouldn't have been able to use that stage to their advantage.

he made sure he got some of steph lips

When he and his dad had that feud with Undertaker and the Wrestlemania match against Taker

Orton shoulda be the WWE, not Cena. -
After defeating ? Foley, the first World Title win, and leaving evolution he was a star to me. By the time he started beefing with Undertaker he was a badass. Can't forget his classic Smackdown Draft Lottery debut where he interfered in the World Title Match between JBL and Undertaker.

When he ran through the mcmahon family....
Agree w most...he shoulda beat hhh
But hhh was still active...so...yeah -
To me Orton had way more GOAT moments than Cena. When him and Edge teamed up as Rated RKO to feud with DX, his feud with Taker, feud with Triple H, feud with McMahon Family, being the leader of The Legacy, matches with CM Punk, first feud with Cena, his feud with Christian, his feud with ? Foley, him disrespecting legends; ? dude had more great moments to me.

Orton probably could've been if he didn't ? up so much in the past but I believe he's what the rock was to Stine Cold (I don't know if that's accurate but that's how it always came across in my mind)
OT
That was great storytelling and probably pushed the whole "mental" thing up a whole nother level.
I can see why Vince says the roster needs to step up, but it's 50/50. They can choose to step up all they want, but vince calls the shots.. This is what gold looks like when someone steps up and given that push.
-
For me when he was punt kicking the ? out Vince and the fam and just beasting as the Legend Killer.
-
Hogan had Savage
Bret had Shawn
Austin had Rock
Cena has Orton -
i wish they would have kept him more psychotic and ? , seem like when he became face and michael cole kept callin him the viper and ? over and over he got stale
-
After the terrible feud with HHH in late 2004 the Taker feud helped regain his momentum. But the moment when Orton really became Orton was actually summer 2007. He was easily the hottest act in the company at that point.
-
When did Randy Orton become the boring, bland person that he still is today?
Could it be the 50 thousand match with John Cena that were forced down our throats? -
2011 is when he jumped the shark.
-
Cena dried him out just like Cena dries every rivalry out. Cena dried rock out and i don't know how that's possible.
