Remember in the beginning of the year Orton promised "No more Mr. Nice Guy."

If that was true, would Orton spend 5 minutes deciding on whether or not to punt Husky Harris?

Being a nice guy and contemplating doing something to provoke 4 peoples wrath are not mutually exclusive. Besides WWE only have a 3 month memory.

 

[Captain - Charisma]

Heel Orton would of given it no more than a few seconds thought.

 

[Samee]

He was obviously fucking with Punk and co. He was never not going to punt Husky.

Exactly. I thought this was pretty obvious to be honest.

That is true, I miss Heel Orton to be honest.

And the fact that Husky is now out indefinitely, it was all just to get Husky out of the WWE

 

[NoGimmicksNeeded]

Exactly. I thought this was pretty obvious to be honest.

That's my favourite part of the forum, some people read SO much into things, they miss the blatently obvious parts that even the 'WWE Universe kids' in the crowd get. Constant, free comedy.

Of course he lies he's a heel, dumbass.

 

[scrilla]

he's a tweener bro. plus orton doesn't write the show or give guys their cues in the back. it's not real he's not a "liar." he was probably waiting for Nexus to come out and stop him too or try and stop him at least. he wasn't just gonna go punt husky harris and fuck up punk's whole segment? was he?

 

[Chadwick Winebarger]

Of course he lies he's a heel, dumbass.

uhm.... what? Preeetty sure Orton lost his heel status at last year's WrestleMania.

There was never any doubt that Orton was gonna punt Harris in the head OP. As others have stated, pretty sure he was just playing it up/waiting for Punk to come out and do his shtick on the mic.

 

[dxbender]

He didn't have to think about it. He was playing with Punk cause while Punk was threatening Orton with "severe consequences", Orton knew what he'd do is worse so it's worse for Punk to just watch and not know what Orton was gonna do.

 

[Amsterdam]

Whatever is said during a promo dosen't mean shit a month later. Professional wrestling 101.

 

[Until May]

ortons a tweener that obvious.


and it was CLEAR that he was going to punt him the entire time, he was just making punk swet.

 

[Ashleigh Rose]

I thought the fact that he was contemplating it for so long was because we were supposed to be reminded of that promo actually. Randy was acting like the compassionate face who stopped to think and wasn't going to do it, but then he was shaken into remembering that he wasn't playing nice guy anymore. So Husky got punted.

The idea of him making just Punk sweat is probably the right answer here though, it's much more simple I guess.

 

[JEFF.JARRETT]

Orton isn't a tweener, he's a face through and through.

 

[sesshomaru]

You guys are reading too much into this. Orton already punted Jericho before, so this is already part of his face persona to punt heels who are down and out. Also, he waited just to anger Punk and Nexus. That is all.
