10 Wrestling Moments That Literally Made You Jump

10. Randy Orton's Best-Ever RKO

What's funny, about the subsection of fans that decry the "spot-fest" and slaver over "realism" and "psychology" is that they also moan about wrestlers not making the cover and not doing enough to win a match.

And yet, at WrestleMania 31, Randy Orton reacted to his own move like a PWG hardcore who had just witnessed a shooting star press. He marked out for himself the very second he did something other than a chinlock. High as a f*cking kite on doing something actually cool, when Orton scolds the younger generation for getting their sh*t in, methinks the Legend Killer doth protest too much.

In fairness to Orton, this was really f*cking cool.

After one of his better and brisker matches, highlighted by a scorching series of reversals at the finish, the Viper in a grand in-character moment - vipers, and this is quite funny, are more sluggish than most snakes - lulled Seth Rollins into his maw.

Drawing the curb stomp, Orton instead popped up before the point of impact and spiked Seth's prone head to the mat with the RKO.

This spot absolutely ruled in itself, but also in a "Randy Orton did that! Randy Orton!" sort of way.
