10 Things We Learned From Randy Orton On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions Podcast

10. Randy Thought Austin Didn’t Like Him

...one that didn't think a certain 'Rattlesnake" was too fond of him.

The interview had barely started before Randy revealed that he and Austin have never actually sat down for a lengthy chinwag before. They've talked in passing, but never anything more substantial. This was a first then, and something Orton was excited to do.

Explaining himself, Austin said that he'd always been "a bit of a loner". That was definitely the case when Randy broke onto the main roster back in April 2002 - 'Stone Cold' would retire the following year at WrestleMania XIX, so he didn't get too much time to socialise with Mr. RKO.

Steve had also made cutting comments about Orton's promo skills in the media, which caught Randy's attention. That didn't help the frostiness between them, and it's why they've taken so long to properly develop a bond.

This ice-breaking stuff was some start to the sit-down.
