10 Reasons Why Nobody Has Missed Randy Orton

10. He Never Replaced The Punt

Orton's punt was the most over move in wrestling in its heyday.

Un-kickoutable, it was reserved only for occasions on which his trusty RKO had failed him, or he had a particularly eminent dislike for his opponent. Much like the super-finishers developed by the top stars of All Japan Pro Wrestling, it was a super-protected and super-deadly move which added so much to Orton's vicious aura.

Dropped due to the concussion-related furore that has pervaded both WWE and the NFL in recent years, Orton's character has suffered as a result. That he still teases it doesn't help; he just looks ineffective when he inevitably fails to pull it off. Orton is no longer the callous sociopath who would happily end a rival's career if he so chooses - as it stands, he's just another wrestler in an era not especially known for its strength of character.

While he has developed the RKO with awesome catch variations, they require a smaller and more agile opponent with an appropriately reversible manoeuvre to pull off believably, and even then, it can get contrived.
