On this past week's Raw, Randy Orton appeared as a talking head in a tribute video for Kurt Angle's storied career. There, Orton gushed over Kurt's athleticism and accomplishments. 24 Hours later on SmackDown, he was calling Angle a "washed up" and "broken down" old warhorse who didn't deserve to wrestle last week.

OK then.

We get that Randy is a heel, but this was clumsy by WWE's production team. It's hard to believe Orton either way when he's flipping between love and hate for the Olympian so quickly.
