In an interview with a Phoenix radio station in 2011, Randy Orton wanted to dish some dirt on Kelly Kelly for some reason. It was a bit odd. It wasn’t like he was doing some sort of tell-all shoot interview, and was bitter about the company in retirement; he was a current major player in WWE, and was far higher up in standing in the promotion than Kelly Kelly.

He revealed that he could name 10 different wrestlers that the female star had slept with. While he didn’t provide any names, the fact that he brought up that claim alone was pretty out of line. It’s likely that management gave him a talking to, as the next day he Tweeted out: "Yesterday I put my foot in my mouth and I need to try my best to make it right. I owe Kelly K an apology. The fact that she has dated a few guys I work with doesn't make her a bad person, and is also none of my or anyone elses buisness (sic).”

Since he made that claim in public, you would think there would have been some sort of consequences to be had. Try to imagine going on a radio station in your city and claiming a co-worker of yours had slept with 10 other people in the office. That likely wouldn't go over so well.

Apparently the Twitter apology was good enough for WWE, because if he was actually punished then it was never revealed what the consequences were.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
