10 Most Boring WWE Wrestlers Of All Time

Nobody else came close to the top spot.

Your writer is far less than the biggest Triple H fan, but even 'The Game' had a year so undeniably fantastic that he had an in-ring legacy to dine out on for all the endless-feeling years that followed.

In contrast, Randy Orton's legacy is that he's still f*cking doing all this. He's still working most shows, most weeks, most months, hitting his identical marks with his identical popular spots. They generate reactions, of course, but WWE have hid their force of will with the 'Apex Predator' in plain sight for as long as he's been around.

As early as 2002, wrestlers spoke long and loud about Orton being born one of the best ever, and two decades of development should have brought that even further on, right? Not so much. The wrestlers love Orton because they're not likely to suffer a knock in the matches because he certainly doesn't want to risk one himself. There's nothing wrong with either philosophy, but every...f*cking...chinlock all these years has been integrated with the fans last on the priority list.

Nobody's amassed more high profile matches that have lost the crowd for full, lengthy sections midway through. Yes if you stick around long enough you become a legend and yes the RKO will be beloved until he's physically too old to perform it. But almost every match he's ever had from the thousands are just like one of the move's victims - they can't and don't stand up.
