lol Isn't Randy like 32? I'd probably kill myself if I got fired from something I've been apart of for most of my life (He's a third generation superstar, just to make yall remember). But he's done pretty much everything there is to do in this business. I feel like the only thing he can do when he comes back is to just put over people. But damn, he's like 32, so what else could he do if he does get fired? He still has a REALLY long way before he retires.

No hes really not that great but hes the right amount of relevant and if they did release him he'd go to TNA and at least bring some form of legitimate established talent to their rosterNo it won't. Orton may be generic and manufactered with average mic skills, but he's one of the most credible stars the WWE's got, gets good reactions, and is great in the ring. He'd be useful just putting people over. Or main eventing, but his paper-thin personality obviously dosen't draw, so he won't be doing that.
The WWE doesn't need Orton but TNA does and if they get him it would bring up that company's interest
He can try becoming a movie star. As you said, he's done it all as a wrestler and much like Cena, he can retire now and move on to try his hands at something new. He's gotten paid plenty, is a 9 time World Champ, former Intercontinental champion, Royal Rumble winner, main evented Wrestlemania (lukewarm match but still) and has a lot of great matches throughout the years that are 'must watch'. (vs Foley, Benoit, Undertaker, Christian etc) A Hall of Fame career if you ask me.lol Isn't Randy like 32?

Besides, the sooner he ends his career, the better off he'll be. The concussion issue is nothing to just sweep under the rug and Orton seems a lot like Benoit, in that his head is sensitive to taking bumps. I'm not all that worried about Orton, he'll not get fired because he'll never get a third suspension.
No, I'm not saying that Cena is not on it. Cena's defo on it btw. I'm just saying he knows what he does and when he does it. Just like you said, "Cena has what Rhodes got away with, a doctor's note".You don't think Cena hasn't taken illegal substances? Yea he is just bigger than natural bodybuilders who spend their lives dedicated to nothing but lifting. Yet Cena, who is on the road 300 days a year can maintain stovepipes for forearms.
Cena has what Rhodes got away with, a doctor's note. You can get a doctor to prescribe test and HGH. Cena is on it.
Isn't Orton like number 2 or 3 star power that the WWE has? If they release him, WWE is gonna have to step up big time to gain some star power to the talent that they have right now.
He's not really a star though. He isn't. The kiddies and the girlies scream and cream for him. Orton also will usually work a good to great match and is typically used to wrestle other good wrestlers.
I don't really think too many people show up solely or even majorly for Orton. Even when he was the flagship champ of Smackdown television viewership in ratings and overall viewers was down, as was live attendance.
Orton is one of those Special Attraction guys. He's not the main attraction. He's the sort of person that people will go to a show and see him and think, "Man, that was a nice little match. Maybe I'll watch this more often." but they don't show up for him.
Cena is Hogan/Andre and Orton is Steamboat/Savage.

Who are they showing up for, apart from Cena?
Outside the real wrestling fans, Punk is unknown.
All my family and I went to see Smackdown, to see Randy Orton. And by the the sounds of things, the rest of the Arena did as well.
I see a good majority of adults cheer for Orton too, like a good pop. Orton is the tweener that everybody likes, but can sometimes be boring because of his character. But his body language screams big time star.
His body language screams NADA.
If he were a big time star his absence for 2 months would have massive consequences for the company.
Imagine John Cena getting busted for pot and Dianabol and suspended for 2 months? It'd be gigantic. It would cause street drug and PED investigations. People would have to go before Congress. The McMahons, doctors, Aegis, everybody would get subpoenas. It'd be gigantic. Only a repeat of Benoit could rival that.
Orton gone for 2 months is Orton gone for 2 months. Won't do a thing to the company.

That's why they have Cena. Just like when Rock was gone for 4 months they had Austin. And when Austin was gone for a year they had Rock. In this case thou, if they lose Cena they are very well fucked. Cena is on a pedestal I can't even understand atm.
LOL, what? Punk has been in WWE for 6 years and has broken out as the #2 star in the company. If somebody doesn't know who Punk is, they damn sure don't know Orton either. Orton is a name that's relevant absolutely nowhere outside WWE's own little world, he's not Hulk Hogan.Outside the real wrestling fans, Punk is unknown.
You'd be surprised, actually. Orton's longevity means that when you talk to fans that only watched in the mid 00s, as I have done a lot, they go "oh Orton, the Legend Killer". But CM Punk, I get blank faces or a flat out "I don't know who that is"LOL, what? Punk has been in WWE for 6 years and has broken out as the #2 star in the company.

I dont know what its like in Canada.LOL, what? Punk has been in WWE for 6 years and has broken out as the #2 star in the company.

But where i work (England)
People know Randy Orton, they have no idea who CM Punk is.
Every day, ordinary people who don't watch WWE, who want nothing to do with it know who Orton is? And you've confirmed personally that they're not wrestling fans?
I'm not buying this. It certainly isn't that way here. The only way somebody outside of wrestling knows Orton is because they remember seeing him on a 7 11 cup during Mania season or he was on Conan or something. Which extends to a lot of people beyond just Orton, it doesn't make him a widespread celebrity.

None of my mates give a shit about wrestling and alot of them know Orton. The only full timers around now that are more well known are Cena, Rey, Kane and Big Show.Every day, ordinary people who don't watch WWE, who want nothing to do with it know who Orton is?

They literally have no idea who Punk is, or Sheamus or Bryan for that matter.
Most of my friends don't even know Jericho, more know who Orton is than him which is weird I know but true.
Ok, so in England, Orton is the biggest star ever. He certainly isn't in North America, and he certainly isn't someone who can't be replaced fairly easily.None of my mates give a shit about wrestling and alot of them know Orton.

Orton is a star... Like it or not. He is known globally by Non wrestling fans.
His pops are some of the biggest around, Ive been at shows( In the UK) where Orton has had the biggest pop of the night by a country mile.

Randy Orton @RandyOrton
“@EricCullum: @RandyOrton So when you come back now will you be a heel because of the suspension? #AgeofOrton #heelorton” We can only Pray
Randy Orton @RandyOrton
“@Cimfamchick: @RandyOrton WHY are you suspended?!?!?? D:” When I'm able to tell you, I will. Until then, don't believe everything you read!
Would :mark: if Orton returned as a heel. Face Orton is so boring.

Even Orton himself wants to be heel. C'mon Vince turn him, he can easily become the top heel in the company.
I want Heel Orton...... It would be dreamy...
