As well as being a good guy, apparently Orton’s also a busy guy, as he demonstrated a couple of years back in the aftermath of an episode of Raw.
With the show going off the air, Orton had been lying prone at ringside, but he obviously couldn’t see much from down there. So, rather than wasting all night on the floor, he looked around for some answers.
Fan footage has since emerged of Orton asking either the fans of the timekeeper, or basically anyone around him that could tell him for sure, whether or not the show had gone off the air. After a bit of back-and-forth, upon hearing confirmation that they were indeed off the air, Orton simply rose to his feet unhindered and began making his way to the locker room.
The complete nonchalance was brilliant, but for anyone criticising him for "underselling", he did at least nurse his arm as he wandered past the ring.
