10 Things You Didn't Know About Randy Orton

1. Most Troublesome Superstar Ever?

Randy Orton Randy Orton has become the posterboy for WWE's Wellness Policy, and that isn't a good thing, whichever way you look at it. Orton's disciplinary action hasn't always been due to drugs, however, as he's also been taken off the road for simply being a jerk at times. In April 2006, the WWE suspended Orton for 60 days due to "unprofessional conduct," which was due to what was rumored to be a marijuana offense. While being busted smoking weed is only punishable by a fine under the WWE Wellness Policy, the public nature of the incident caused the WWE to suspend Orton. In recent years, Orton has blamed Michael Hayes for "stooging" on him. Orton was suspended again in August for 30 days for a drug test failure and received his first strike under the Wellness Policy. In 2007, Orton was implicated in the Signature Pharmacy scandal, which saw several WWE superstars suspended. However, Orton didn't face suspension, as the WWE said that's the situation in which caused his August 2006 suspension. Wrestlers listed in the situation were said to have received clomiphene citrate, anastrozole, as well as the steroids stanozolol, nandrolone, oxandrolone, and testosterone. In May 2012, Orton received his second strike under the Wellness Policy, and was suspended for 60 days, causing him to miss the historic 1000th Raw, which took place in his home town of St. Louis. Orton would return during a July Raw in Cincinnati. Orton has also been accused of defecating in gym bags (specifically that of former diva Rochelle Loewen), in addition to numerous other brash offenses. However, reports of late have said that he seems to have cleaned up his act. Let's hope in addition to his clean act, gym bags remain tidy as well.
