I can't believe Dante thought Tama Tonga was in a tag team. He famously hates tag teams.

[@trez_tube]

Right?!

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

I love how sarcastically he said it and he probably didn't even know he holds the record for most IWGP tag title reigns in history.

[@morgandoucet4965]

Wasn’t he in one during his bullet club days

[@nicwolak]

wait i’m so confused, Tama Tonga has been in Bullet Club for like a decade, been teaming with Tonga Loa for like 6 years and has won the IWGP tag titles like 9 times. this doesn’t sound like a man that hates tag teams.

[@bluecrasher7710]

I don’t what the WWE have said it stands for, but Randy Orton has said in interviews that he came up with the name RKO because it’s his initials and his full name is Randal Kieth Orton

[@ronnie3044]

I don’t think it stands for anything. Or at least they have never said what it actually stands for. I thought it was always just a play on the term “TKO”.

@@jamesaditya5254 In kayfabe, they've said it's Randy Knock Out a few times. The one I remember was when Seth did one in the "RKOs are Banned" match and said it didn't count because his name didn't start with R. It was a SETH Knock Out.

[@jk844100]

@@ronnie3044 he explained it on Stone Cold’s podcast. He said when he explained the name of the move to Vince he said something like “well my initials are RKO, which is like TKO” and he awkwardly tries to further explain and Vince just says “sounds great” and walks off. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the clip but it was something like that.

RKO is a play on TKO and his own personal name.

[@edwardcross459]

I mean, I never meant to be rude, so I apologize. I just wanted to make sure that the false information is fixed. RKO stands for two different things. His real life full name “Randal Keith Orton” as well as “Randy Knockout.” There might be another meaning I’m missing, but I’m 99% certain that “Randy Killer Orton” is not one of them. And yes Tama Tonga has been in a tag team, more specifically a faction with Gallows, Anderson, and one other guy that I can’t remember.

[@walikram7255]

'I'm gonna put my foot down'.. Well, your foot's gonna hurt John 😂 Randy Killer orton was never a thing 😂

[@jamesaditya5254]

While I think there's been an occasion Randy got called Randy "Killer" Orton, I'm pretty sure he himself confirmed that RKO does stands for his exact initials. IIRC he was going to use the cutter as a new finisher and got asked what's he gonna call it and he just pitched it on the spot. The first time I saw and heard the RKO I also thought it's Randy "Killer" Orton, and this was way before his Legend Killer days. It just sounded so obvious to me back in 7th grade or something

[@KingJadInfiniteHope]

it’s most used name is “Randy’s knockout” i remember me and my brother talking about this years ago before he or anybody every really stated what it was.

[@lukav200]

That Instant Dub transition was so amazing

[@henryluczak6218]

I've absolutely never heard anyone call him "Randy Killer Orton" No one ever really called him RKO. It wasn't a nickname, just the name of his finisher. I believe theres a video out there where he talks about why it's named that besides being his initials

[@sophiamakin2960]

the instant dub editing went crazy

[@byronellis2195]

I loved that casey promo😭

[@AccursedHawk]

Thought everyone should know that Dave rated the Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels WM 25 the same rating as thunder rosa vs Britt baker…

[@Lloydevansphoto]

His rating system has changed since Omega Okada though. Today it would get at least 5 if not higher

[@WukisGGK]

to be fair, Michaels and Taker not being given 5 stars at Mania 25 is the single stupidest decision Meltzer ever made.

[@OmniSens]

Jeez John, relax! You're wrong! Randal!!!!

[@lizzybethmarie4204]

Woo good job John!!!! And for what it's worth, when he was on stone colds podcast Randy Orton said RKO was his initials and could also be randy's knock out. Loved the video, cant wait for more content

[@bigrandomun9267]

If they want to do this again, it should include NXT matches because there were some amazing matches. It could just include matches featuring Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, Adam Cole and Io Shirai and you would have like 10 matches over 4 stars

[@stuffingtonjfluffypantsiii]

Congrats on the Instant Dub

[@republiccommando1513]

Idk why but I always thought RKO stood for Royal KnockOut but then somebody told me it stood for Randy's KnockOut. Then I was told it just stood for Randy Killer Orton. Though I feel like just using his initials for his finisher is the lamest answer but whatever. Now I can't not hear the commentator saying "Randy Orton with a Randy Killer Orton out of nowhere!" in my head.

RANDY’S KNOCK-OUT. It was derived from Total Knock Out, which is a cutter. You’re not dumb, you guys are great! But still, letting you know that’s where the name came from.

[@Rakmandra]

I know I am way late but Jake Roberts vs Rick Rude wasn´t all that bad (I'd give it a star) ... it was a tournament match for the World Wrestling Federation Championship. it was mostly b.o.r.i.n.g. ... variations of 'flex, punch, bodyslam, sleeper hold or armbar' with random movves in between, streched over 10-12 min (15min time limit). the action happened in the last 3-5 min and ended in a timeout draw (while teasing a dirty finish) eliminating both from the tournament.

Orton was never called Randy “Killer” Orton.

[@texasmangabriel19]

hey on the RKO meaning is Randys Knock Out according to the WWE refrence on it

[@RookSdSTV]

You are pretty positive that he was called Randy Killer? He was called Legend Killer. The RKO is an acronym for his name (Randall Keith Orton) Those people that tweeted you are correct. Dont defend this..:.youre wrong

Orton has never been called "killer", other than "Legend Killer". They have never once even tried to explain on tv what RKO stands for.
