Why did WWE take away Orton's legend killer pose he used to do when he comes out to the ring and stands on the top rope? WWE gave Randy Orton this stupid ass "bird hand" wave that he does.. looks similar to the legend killer pose, but it really isn't. It's so stupid. Why can't WWE give back Orton his old pose he used to have?

if hes THAT injury prone that he cant even stretch out his arms or dislocates his shoulder from banging on the floor (over the limit 2010) then he shouldnt be facing brock lesnar.

What? Doesn't he still do it? He did it at NOC IIRC.
Yes, he still does it. Actually, for a while I have thought that it doesn't go very well with his Viper/I Hear Voices gimmick.

I like the pose, though. It comes off as "look at THIS amazing specimen". As a guy who is trying his best to work out, to be and look healthy, I can honestly say that Orton, from the neck down (I don't mind my face- my girlfriend doesn't either ;)), is exactly how I wish I could look. Kudos to him for making it happen while I'm still dragging my feet to the gym 3 times a week, whining to myself that I wanna go home.

That pic is from 2010 and that was around the time he just started doing the pose after stopping for a few years cause he became a cold blooded psychopath. Then he stopped again and started doing the Steve Austin arms raised pose for a while. Then once he realized he would never be Stone Cold he went back to his Legend Killer pose. He was just half assing it in that pic you posted. He does it fine. Nit...fucking...picking.

He still does it and he should coz it's one of the best poses in wrestling history. Only difference is, he used to be noticeably bigger during his Legend Killer days since he was juicing while he's kinda skinny in comparison now. So it looked more impressive then.

He still does it, even as the Viper. Sometimes artifacts from previous gimmicks spill over into the current one (like Trips's Pedigree from his blueblood days or CM Punk's initials long after he left the Chick Magnets).

I like it, it's such a douchey pose, plus this other guy made it into an emoticon:

\_O__/

Is that cool or what?
