do you think that Randy Orton is becoming more popular/a bigger superstar than John Cena? discuss.

 

[BORT]

I doubt it but we still have to wait and see.

 

[Griselda]

Close.

 

[p862011]

he is becoming more boring

hard to accomplish but he did it

 

[chazparks]

Not since early 2000's. Cena=Rock, Orton=Austin but in reverse.

 

[BReal72]

since Survivor Series- John Cena seems to have more momentumn than Orton, but im not sure- the fans cheered equally loud for them at the TLC PPV and Orton seems to have momentumn since that steel cage match on raw.

Bigger superstar? Nah.but he comes to bigger pops and the fans are gonna turn on Cena at some point during this CM Punk rivalry.

8 year olds won't turn on Cena, espesh if they're are w/ their parents who don't cheer/boo anyone because they don't know them, as for the rest ... only NY, Tornoto, Chi etc. I could see that happening in.

This.

They Changed Orton so he could have a different audience with the "No more Mister Nice Guy" Speach but there are so many little kids in the WWE that Cena will always have the biggest Audience

 

[Mike J Cab00se]

no and never will

 

[p862011]

wwe is trying too hard to make randy a new stone cold it is kind of pathetic

rattle snake - Viper (really yeah that was'nt obvious)
changed his pose to the stone cold pose
etc.

randy is a good looking guy no matter how many tats he puts on he wont change this austin was a rugged looking guy who did'nt have the six pack oiled up look

 

[PhilThePain]

John Cena has the crossover mainstream appeal due to his extra-curricular activities. I never hear about Orton doing anything so no. (give me some examples of stuff Orton does outside of wrestling)

 

[wwefanatic89]

I wouldnt say a bigger superstar because more people outside the wrestling world know Cena. But what I would say is Orton gets louder pops than Cena but it really depends on what city they're in. Some nights Cena's pops are louder and some nights Orton's pops are louder.

 

[D17]

As for the question, I don't see any reason why he can't atleast level his star power if WWE market him and invest a hell of alot into him now that he's a face, he's starting to be advertised alot more when WWE are promoting stuff like tours, games (he's the main star on the cover of SD v. Raw 2011 over here in the UK and Cena isn't even on the cover), if he is shoved down are throats and utilized correctly, calling him Cena's equal could be a legit claim in 2 years time IMO. Plus he has youth on his side and Cena I don't think is going to be the biggest star all the way untill he calls it quits, unless WWE invest in him nonstop for another 5 years. This is coming from a big Cena fan btw.

 

[vanderhevel]

Cena is way bigger, and its not even close. Cena is the centerpiece of the show even when he doesn't have the belt, and is involved in the bigger storylines, while orton floundered with the title.

not to mention orton is awful.

 

[Jimmy Darmody]

No, i dont have a clue what they are doing with Randy Orton. Im not going to just say "Orton is being turned into Austin" even though i do think that. If i was booking Randy Orton i would put him in a proper feud with someone instead of filling the blanks with him.

 

[TheLuchador129]

They're close. I think WWE should keep them on equal footing because right now they have two main faces, one who appeals to kids and one who appeals to the older crowd. I'd like to see them both stay as equal as possible.

 

[gothmog 3rd]

It's only a matter of time before they become tag champs togheter and whop both rosters asses at the same time. And both the crowd and the IWC will go nuts, but for completly different reasons.
