Whoever is writing Randy Orton’s promos needs to be smacked with Hacksaw Jim Duggan’s 2x4.

Listening to Orton’s interview, as he described hearing voices, how he couldn’t burn Alexa Bliss alive, it was just all very… embarrassing. As in, as a wrestling fan, if a family member who isn’t a fan walked into the room and watched the segment, how would you feel?

Orton went on to talk about how the Fiend changes everyone, and he made the Viper feel compassion and mercy – which is the opposite of what has happened to all other opponents – and that Orton hated himself for it. But wait! Orton can channel that hatred and then go direct it toward a legend!

Just horrible drivel that made this writer feel dumber for having to listen to it and recap it. Please, please, please, whoever writes this stuff, can you go on vacation for the next two wee… er, years?
