is Randy Orton top 10 all time?

[@andraiy644]

Nah but he's most definitely an all time great.

[@kadharefinley224]

Top 5 for me

[@DanielDeLeon69]

Randy orton deserves to be in the hall of fame!😎

[@forgottenson3411]

Top 5

[@ramitouati1325]

hell yeah

[@jasonjones649]

I just realized that Mick Foley was the gate keeper for a while there. He was the last step for some of our greatest of the 2000's. HHH, Orton, and Edge all became main event stars after their feuds with him. So much respect for Foley!

[@kristopherbrown2145]

Always wished Mick Foley had a feud with Batista, he had great matches against every other member of evolution

[@KemeticKingAsar]

Same thing with The Rock (Survivor Series 98, Rock Bottom 98, & Royal Rumble 99) & Stone Cold (Unforgiven 98 & Over The Edge 98) - Foley made / put over so many, making them better. Mick Foley has to be unsung hero of both the Attitude / Ruthless Aggression Eras.

[@darieonFGC]

Yo mick foley is so underrated man lowkey in my top ten

[@cosmicking7979]

Other than John Cena I cant think of anyone else that had a better Wrestling career than Randy Orton, he has the accomplishments, amazing matches, amazing promos, iconic finisher, he is the total package for what a Professional Wrestler is.

[@fungames821]

John cena, Randy orton, Edge icons

[@madhavsinghff4279]

Not amazing matches

[@KrishnaSharma-ch7rr]

Randy Orton - WWE World Heavyweight Champion 14 times Intercontinental Championship 1 time United States Champion 1 time Tag Team Champion 4 times Royal Rumble 2 times Money in the Bank 1 time. Definitely HOF Career Thank You to the Viper, Apex Predator, Legend Killer ❤️🐐

[@alec2000]

Randy Orton is without a doubt, one of the greatest stars of ALL time. He’s not just a wrestling legend, he’s a pop culture ICON. He’s in many legendary memes, “Outta nowhere” is still one of the greatest gags ever😂, and overall, you just can’t go wrong with this man. If he truly retires this year, because of what happened, then all I can say is that I wish him the best for his life outside of wrestling. May God bless him and his family.🙏❤️ *Edit* - 16:08 You two GOATs really need to collab soon. Please!😭 Give us Ruthless Aggression kids what we want the most🤞🙏❤️

[@sheeeeesh3628]

Randy from late 2008-2009 was such a menace that it took Triple H, The McMahon family, Batista and then John Cena to contend with him.

[@IXSymbioticxTrevXI2019]

Accomplishments: 14x World Champion, 2x Royal Rumble Winner, 1x MITB Winner, WrestleMania main eventer, 1x United States Champion 1x Intercontinental Champion, 4x Tag Team Champion, 181 PPV appearances, 10th Grand Slam, 17th Triple Crown, 2x Slammy Award Nicknames: Legend Killer, Apex Predator, The Viper. What a Hall of Fame Career Randy Orton has

[@cosmicking7979]

Randy Orton is in my top 3 of all time

[@SpiderGang56]

Please i wish for him to be in the hall of fame❤ I first saw Randy when he was breaking away from the authority, and i fell in love with his character. Bald randy and legacy were the most lethal trio in history

[@Uchiharecords837]

Hes my bros fav bc hes a sAvage😂

[@moosedip1908]

5 ⭐️ classics doesn’t mean it needs a thigh slap and flips this man has definitely given us plenty of 5 ⭐️

[@romeokoroma3341]

Please do the return of the undertaker’s American badass in judgment day 2000.

[@thisisbiscuits]

One thing that stood out to me when it comes to Randy Orton is that he has always been the Perfect Cool Guy. I always saw him as the Vegeta to John Cena if that makes any sense.

[@SuperkickStudios]

agreed

[@patrickviola8000]

I see it now

[@Muneeb08]

A little controversial especially because I personally never witnessed the attitude era and anything before, but I think he’s #1, I think he is the goat. The accomplishments, the longevity, the impact he’s had outside of wrestling and the elite level storytelling he can do with his persona/character all heavily contribute to that. The people that come closest to him imo is Taker and Cena.

[@Phonedblock1]

Feel like John had more accomplishments/little bit less longevity/had way more impact outside of wrestling becoming an iconic meme and doing movies and some pretty good story telling now taker I ain’t even gonna go there the fact that he’s not 1st even with an extra decade over Randy and John is crazy

[@Muneeb08]

@@Phonedblock1you make very valid points. I should’ve added that there’s a tonne of bias in my original comment too. But even then, I think Randy is at least top 5

[@Phonedblock1]

@@Muneeb08 top 5 is way more reasonable and honestly he could’ve been the second undertaker in terms of longevity because clearly he wanted to continue up until his back injury

[@therobinx20]

since he is the reason why I watch wrestling since 2002, he is the GOAT for me. and when he retires I'll stop watching.

[@cisomercader3127]

Watching him from being a children until become 20 years old is still blessing to see perform his ability to amaze us, I hope we get the proper farewell to his illustrious carrer and HOF ceremony soon.

[@SuperkickStudios]

I ain’t ready for that HOF ceremony

[@andraiy644]

Never in my life would I believed that Randy Orton would have been ARGUABLY at his peak in the 2020s. The storyline with Edge just like the pairing with Matt Riddle and his overness were just spectacular. I honestly still can't believe we didn't got Reigns/Orton yet.

[@CharlesHitmanStone]

The fact they’ve only had one feud is insane. I really do Think other than Seth, Randy would be Roman’s absolute greatest Rival

[@youngdc9726]

Randy Vs Roman was scheduled for Summerslam in Nashville but Randy got injured and well he has yet to return

[@andraiy644]

true true

[@boyankovachev7982]

Yaaasss. SLAY. I'm just starting to watch the video, but already know I'll love it. Especially after the brilliantly awesome Eddie Guerrero video from three days ago. This is a great channel, one of the top ones. Definitely top 5, at the very least, probably even top 3 or 4 with WhatCulture Wrestling, PartsFunKnown and Cultaholic. Those 3 and SuperkickStudios here are my top 4. And even tho Simon Miller and Adam Blampied are my top presenters, this guy is near their level, and I love him for that. One love ❤

[@hhtptai]

No matter how much things change, there will always be Randy Orton, standing there. Just vibin'.

[@Slurlance]

I think he is a master in phycology. I swear he doesn’t have the most amazing move set but the way he does them and his facial expression… idk like someone can do flips all over the place and that’s cool but this guy makes ya feel something.

[@haarisajmeri9811]

Pretty consistent i see good job

[@wwechampion]

Randy Orton is like the legacy kid who had talent but also worked extremely hard to become great.

[@CrashingSpyro93]

One of my all time favorites

[@AdamchristianChambers2017]

Randy is the greatest got me through some bad times the man s a once in a lifetime talent

[@basimsiddique8919]

I have been watching Orton since the Authority days and tbh he is still the best if he didn’t suffer from back injury he would’ve given 5⭐️ matches but unfortunately he is out for about a year and I can tell that when he returns just imagine the roof exploding out of the arena❤

[@nikrixxx6338]

I still remember watching in real time when Randy debuted! It's been so much fun watching him develop and evolve into who he is now. I heard HHH say if you were gonna build the perfect pro wrestler from scratch, you'd build Randy Orton

[@willisrose9756]

I just realized that WrestleMania 20, 30 and 35 are the only Mania'a that have featured the Legendary OVW 4 (Brock Lesnar, Batista, John Cena and Randy Orton); even tho Cena didn't have a match at 35 but he was featured in a promo segment with Elias, Brock losing to Rollins for the Universal Championship in the opening match, Batista lost to Triple H in a No Holds Barred Match, and Orton getting beaten by AJ Styles!

Randy Orton was the only guy who was heel enough to make the McMahon family be babyface. No one was before or since has been able to do that. So 2009 was the year of Orton

Good video but your volume is quite low. I had to turn up to levels I usually don't need.

Lol the reason he's not labelled as Knoxville is due to the fact that he didn't actually grow up there was just born there . I had a teacher that went to school with Randy and Randy wound up bringing a baseball bat to school for a fight.

[@damandishu628]

Bro u already made a video on randy career why again I like to see something new like how young superstar convert into megastar like la knight or Grayson waller ❤️

[@SuperkickStudios]

that was the legend killer run.

im convinced wrestlingifs and this channel are the same person

[@PUSAKGAOK]

somehow i can see Austin Theory carve his path similiar to Randy Orton rather than following John Cena foosteps

[@SuperkickStudios]

yeah i can see that

They both start young, Theory has a very big ego very similarly to young Randy. Maybe Theory can grow into somewhat a modern legend killer in the future 😂
