3. Sloth: Randy Orton

Randy Orton is one of the biggest stars to emerge in WWE since the demise of the Attitude Era. He has become a decorated Grand Slam champion, winner of a Money in the Bank and two Royal Rumble matches. He has achieved almost everything to achieve in the company. However, he has always been dwarfed by his OVW contemporaries John Cena, Brock Lesnar and Batista. Even at Orton's peak, superstars like The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Triple H were considered much bigger than him. This is perhaps because of Orton's own laziness.

Orton was pushed harder and faster than most of his contemporaries and he is the youngest world champion in WWE history. He was a better rounded performer than most, and promised to only get better. However, this prominence led to complacency. Randy Orton does not put much in his matches anymore, choosing a very slow method of wrestling, which is rife with rest holds. In an increasingly active and fast-paced wrestling style today, Orton doesn't excite anyone anymore. Ultimately, his all-round lethargy prevented him becoming an all-time great - even if the history books suggest otherwise.
