Randy Orton

Randy Orton, also known as Apex Predator, Legend Killer, One Man Dynasty and The Viper, is a professional wrestler.
== Charactah Account ==
Orton is a third-generation professional wrestler; his grandfather Bob Orton Sr., father "Cowboy" Bob Orton, as well as his uncle Barry O, all competed in the professional wrestling industry.
Orton wrestles a very simple but effective wrestling style. The crazy part is that he basically wrestles as a heel from the mid eighties, with his melodramatic knee drops and stomps, combined with his incredibly heelish middle rope DDT. Randy has great wrestling psychology for a methodical heel, even though half the time he's a sociopathic face.
Garvin Stomp, Elevated DDT, Powerslam, Twisting Backbreaker, RKO. He had also added Olympic Slam and a Powerbomb to his set for while, but it appears like the those two plus the Twisting Backbreaker have all but disappeared. He would use the Punt as a finisher for a while but that has since been banned. After all those changes, he was left with the running clotheslines, Powerslam, Elevated DDT, and RKO.

== Trivia ==
* Randy lost his spot in the Elimination Chamber because of a legit concussion sustained in a match against The Big Show. First off, WWE turned the legit injury into a storyline injury by having Daniel Bryan give Orton a vicious belt shot on the episode of RAW before the PPV. Then, the last Smackdown before the PPV saw a massive Battle Royal in which the winner took Randy Orton's spot in the chamber match. And it was thus that Santino Marella found himself in the Elimination Chamber match the following Sunday.
* During the planning for his WrestleMania 21 match with The Undertaker (who then was still undefeated on the said pay-per-view), the latter actually wanted Orton to win, putting him over as one of the company's top stars, but Orton himself refused out of respect. Had the plan pushed though, "The Streak" as it is would not have been the WrestleMania draw that it turned out to be.
* What would have been Orton's second World Title reign was delayed due to the death of Eddie Guerrero. The stories are conflicting, but Randy was either going to win the title that November in a triple threat with Eddie and Batista, or win the Rumble before winning the title at Wrestlemania. The triple threat was cancelled, the Rumble was rewritten for Rey Mysterio to win in tribute, and it'd be nearly two years before Orton won the title again, and didn't win the Rumble until 2009.
* Orton was apparently going to use "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage in 2006, and even went out to the song on an episode of Smackdown. However, this never came to fruition; he returned to "Burn In My Light" (and eventually to the theme he uses to this day, "Voices") while "This Fire Burns" became the theme of CM Punk.
