10 Wrestlers Fans Hated For Dumb Reasons
6. Randy Orton Doesn't Like The Indys
"Sorry to the Indy marks, Indy guys and old timers who do DIVES took offense.... --- So enjoy your flips, dives and 20 superkicks per match. To each their own. I will go "dive" back into my 13th title run and get ready to "flip" when my bank statement comes this month."
Whilst the whole statement is not included here, it's safe to say that in May 2017 Randy Orton had some things to say about indy wrestling. The master of the RKO is used to being disliked and for the most part it is intentional. But for some time hardcore fans hated him not for his character but for his views on indy wrestling.
Here's the thing though, you can love indy wrestling as much as you like. You can even choose to believe that they are better performers than Orton and there could be a lot of validity to your decision. But you can't hate a man for making a pretty accurate statement.
Whilst it's fair to be sour towards him at times, he's a proven veteran of the WWE, so of course he doesn't like indy wrestling. He has built his career and become successful in a form that is entirely opposed to it.
Hating him for not supporting something he doesn't believe in is dumb.
