Time Between Release: Four years.

Randy Orton must be smelling the same foul farts as Edge in an earlier entry. Apparently, someone dropped one so bad that it hung around from 2K16-2K19 and caught the back of Randy's throat. How else can his po-faced expression be explained in last year's game?

It's amazing to see these characters side-to-side and realise that the much-maligned current-gen debut for 2K's series had better luck fashioning Orton in 2K15. He has that familiar sheen and well-groomed face. Plus, there's a more piercing stare to his eyes instead of the annoying zombie look favoured now.

2K15 has 2K19 licked, at least when it comes to presenting a Randy Orton models his fans will appreciate playing as.
