One of the most accomplished wrestlers in the WWE system today, Randy Orton is one of those guys who routinely appears awkward when asked to hype up the latest video game release from his employers. Stumbling over buzz words and talk of how it's great the graphics have come on "leaps and bounds", it'd be easy to imagine that Orton doesn't know the first thing about gaming. That would be judging the book by a very dis-interested cover, because the 'Viper' used to be quite the avid game enthusiast back in the day, and continues to dabble in fighting games such as Mortal Kombat when he has some time on his hands. Remarking that the entire appeal of Mortal Kombat was the violence when he was a young man, Randy was also a big fan of the Guitar Hero series, even though he admits that he's never been good at it. There's something pretty strange about picturing Orton at home on his couch, struggling to play through 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot' by Pat Benatar on the easiest difficulty. Let's hope he doesn't RKO the pop star should he ever meet her.
