WWE: 10 Reasons Randy Orton Will Struggle For Relevancy After WrestleMania 30

3. Orton Is Johnny Valentine. As An Industry, Pro Wrestling Is Sonic The Hedgehog. Oil, Meet Water

When wrestling in the position of being a heel, Randy Orton is often criticized for being one of the more boring grapplers on the roster. Similar to wrestling legend Johnny Valentine, Orton is known to grab a headlock, hold it, and when the crowd boos or shows disinterest, continue applying the headlock, successfully building heat from the crowd's angst. However, it's a possibility that the Apex Predator's methodical in-ring style is not aiding him in the current era. For a generation of wrestling fans who are told to engage with smart phones during the broadcast, as well as having multitudes of other, non-wrestling entertainment options available 24-hours a day, his "boring" style may be causing him to be less relevant. There's an argument to be made (solely built around 21st century attention spans) that modern era athletes who wrestle as heels should favor high-impact suplexes, throws and strikes to engage in the kind of heat that involves babyfaces selling being struck instead of selling being tired. From a viewing standpoint for an ADD generation, impact works better than exhaustion. At a time where wrestling was the only entertainment game in town, the human eye and mind easily adjusted to being trained on a man struggling to breathe (because there was nothing else as compelling to watch). Now, with so many options, many eyes and minds may be more apt to want to see bodies flying through the air, colliding with another and landing with an audible thud.
