8 Times Wrestlers Embarrassed Themselves On Camera
3. Randy Orton Loses Cool, Threatens Reporter
As we've discovered time and time again, it's usually not wise to get snarky with muscly guys who earn their livelihoods throwing equally large men around on a weekly basis. So questioning their fragility, even in a joking manner, is never going to end well.
While touring Mexico in 2009, one reporter made the mistake of mocking Randy Orton's extensive injury history, calling him fragile.
Orton responded as you would expect any volatile head case to respond, grabbing the reporter's glasses and throwing them to the floor, then berating him with an escalating intensity that ultimately found Orton screaming in his face.
What's more, the clearly flustered superstar's rant is not only excessive, it doesn't make much sense. Orton first tells him to "say that to my face", despite the initial question being asked directly to his face. Then he screams over and over for the reporter to "Look at me!" despite the reporter maintaining eye contact with the raging doofus the whole time.
Orton ends with the oddly specific threat that he'll headbutt the guy's teeth through his skull before he poutily walks away. In the end, the WWE Champion was bested by a calm and collected interviewer.
