Guess the STAR RATING of the Match! PART 2

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

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”.

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.

[@byronellis2195]

I loved that casey promo😭

[@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

6:50 Ik this is a dead channel and all now, but I just gotta say, I never once heard him be called Randy “Killer” Orton, not the first time.

[@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.

[@lloydsmith3864]

Little backstory on the Undertaker/HBK Wrestlmania match: As described by Bryan Alvarez, they were there live and when Undertaker hits the dive where he wipes out the "cameraman" from Dave and Bryan's angle, it looked like Undertaker landed directly on his head. Dave and Bryan have stated on their show that is the only slight ding to an otherwise perfect match

[@dorian1x]

I think this is the only channel I like the vid before even watching and has yet to disappoint

[@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

[@ZakuIIX]

on the topic of what RKO stands for, if I remember correctly, he used the move a few times already but it hadn't yet been named. So in a random promo Randy just claims "that move is called the RKO" . Everyone just rolled with it and it stuck for all these years.

[@jakobwedel3168]

[@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.

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

[@lord_wolf_dragon3293]

Orton has never been called "killer", other than "Legend Killer". They have never once even tried to explain on tv what RKO stands for. The "Randy Killer Orton" was literally made up by fans when he was The Legend Killer. Orton himself confirmed (I believe on Stone Colds Podcast) that Michael Hayes, who suggested he use a Cutter as his finisher, suggested he use his initials as the name.

I remember killing it last time, hopefully I'll be just as good, though I haven't checked Meltzer's ratings for a while (except for that epic steel cage match in Stardom). I'll give myself a point if I got closer than both John and Dante, and an extra point if I'm spot on. Spoilers below for my guesses :) 1) Ugh I feel like I remember this one... I'm gonna say DUD though I'm really not sure, could be positive could be negative. (wow I was far off, 0/1) 2) Also guessing DUD, I know it was not looked upon highly. (Wowwww again I'm so far off!! 0/2) 3) This must've been back when Jake Roberts was still good. I'll guess 3.75* but I could see it be higher. (WHOA WHAT??? 0/3) 4) A lot of low scores today, I'll guess 1*. (I tied with John, I'll give myself the point. 1/4) 5) iirc this was the good Crown Jewel, I'll go with 4.25*. (Oh wow that was higher than Nakano vs Natsupoi ok, 2/5) 6) Should be 4.5*, right? Was iconic. (NAILED IT!! 4/6) 7) Ugh I think I know this one. Forget if it hit the 5 mark though. I'll go with 5*, but could easily be 4.75. (Hell yeah comeback szn, 6/7) 8) This sounds like it'd be a bad match. I'll guess 1*, but could be in the negatives (Higher than I thought, 6/8) 9) Oh this was iconic, 5*, first Vince McMahon produced 5* match since MITB 2011!! (Ez one, 8/9) 10) Thank god they gave the year, I wouldn't have know based off the numbers. Though this should be during the Bullet Club Civil War. This feud was hot but iirc Kenny was starting to cool down by then. 4*? (Oh wow I knew the BC Civil War wasn't hot, but didn't expect that low. Still ima take my points, 9/10) 11) First match back? Was 4.5* maybe?? (oh wow that's kinda low, 9/11) 12) This one shouldn't be too high. 4*? (Oh damn ok 9/12) 13) Sounds like it'd be low, both of those two were pretty cold around that time iirc, 1.5*. (Oooh close 10/13) 14) Sounds like it'd be a 4.25*, idk though (damn I almost put 4.5, and rewrote it, 10/14) Wagering all because all in always :) 15) I KNOW THIS ONE!!! 4.75* Instant W!! (Yesss 20 point instant w!)
