Who Thinks Randy Orton Is Currently Having His Best WWE Run?
"I feel like he is so comfortable and so confident right now".
WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair claimed that Randy Orton is at the peak of his powers during a recent interview with WrestleZone's Bill Pritchard.
The 'Nature Boy' said Randy has "always been great", but that he noticed several key improvements when he returned to work alongside Orton on WWE TV this year.
Ric noted that some shoulder issues that plagued Randy in the past are gone, and said he's "killing it on the mic". Inside the ring, Flair believes that Orton has the skills to deal with anything WWE throw at him, and added that he's especially looking forward to seeing what Randy and Drew McIntyre can achieve together come SummerSlam.
Wonder if 'Naitch' will secure a panel on the ThunderDome LED boards for that one?
Flair is impressed that Randy Orton looks as good as he does after 18 years of full-time work too. There's no doubting that Orton hasn't missed a step physically - at 40, he's showing no signs of slowing down and could easily wrestle for another 5-10 years (part time) if he can steer clear of injuries.
Do you agree with Ric? Is this the best version of Randy Orton fans have ever seen, or is he blowing smoke?
