10 Dream Matches Wrestlers Refuse To Work
10. The Rock Vs Randy Orton
Randy Orton evidently doesn't give too much of a sh*t about anything in wrestling anymore, and after nearly 20 years forcing commentators to come up with new synonyms for "slow", it's easy to see why.
In between only really trying when he can be bothered and working with whoever he fancied elevating at the time, 'The Apex Predator' shot for the moon and tried to line up a WrestleMania match with The Rock.
Tweeting Rock ahead of his return to television for SmackDown's debut on Fox in 2019, Orton said;
"How about you & I have a discussion about who’s the greatest 3rd generation of all time and we answer that question April 5th in Tampa At Wrestlemania 36. A vipers sense of smell is unmatched. I smell what you’re cooking"
Plenty of people immediately got behind it, such is the scale of Orton's fanbase (and everybody's general thirst to see The Rock wrestle), but 'The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment' was keen to power down any conversation of this ever occurring. He replied;
U think Bob O Sr & Chief Maivia along with our pops’ Bob Jr & the Soulman ran up and down those roads for decades taking bumps just so we can sell out WM36 so you can RKO my ass thru the earth. My body’s still recovering from that Evolution beatdown you gave me at WM20
Polite, but potent.
