Randy Orton's push in 2004 fizzled out. He was still a top guy but lacked that little push. The Undertaker helped him get to the next level. Orton's feud with The Undertaker elevated him to heights like never before and if he never screwed up before WM 22, he would've won the title. What did you think of this feud?

It was an classic feud that helped reestablished Orton as an huge top heel and gave him more credibility as an top guy and main eventer while Taker still was able to pull off great matches in the future thanks to this feud with Orton.

[@wwewrestlingandgaming4136]

This feud is an absolute classic that helped both Orton and Taker in a huge way. For Orton, he reestablished himself as one of WWE's top heels at the time while getting more credibility as an top guy and main eventer while for Taker, after an lackluster year 2004, he went on amazing run full of big matches thanks to this feud. With classic matches, segments and amazing storytelling, this feud was excellent.

[@justinbaker9586]

Fun fact, during the aftermath of the casket match at no mercy 05, Orton had gasoline over his body and he was that close to being on fire, he even say it himself.

[@KingGoku32794]

March 2005 Randy Orton to Undertaker: "I have nothing but Respect for you and your Legacy" August 2005 Randy Orton: "I DESPISE THE UNDERTAKER I SPIT IN THE FACE OF THE UNDERTAKER'S LEGACY!!!!"

[@corpyhogan4433]

This is the feud that saved Randy Orton’s career. They gave him the belt too early and orton was immature as hell so him working with undertaker ( a respected veteran in the locker room) was perfect for him.

[@undefeateddynasty7974]

Did he get in trouble or something prior to winning the belt or after? Made no sense how they made him look like a 10 year old against HHH opposed to the calculating face he seemed to turning into with the Benoit win

[@grandcanyon-fu9zt]

His feud with Foley in 2004 is what unlocked his potential as a solo star, but this solidified him even more.

[@edgeisthegoat]

@@grandcanyon-fu9zt yeah but the feud with taker make randy a goat

[@markrobinson9394]

They hotshotted Randy into the top babyface role because he was stealing Triple H’s thunder. Triple H was supposed to be the top heel, but Randy was slowly being accepted by the fans as the biggest star of Evolution. It got to the point where they were cheering him against Edge and Benoit, all as a result of the Foley feud, his cool factor and his ability to put on amazing matches on a weekly basis. The problem was that Triple H still wanted that top heel role, and Vince didn’t want to take it from him. There was still the Batista feud to come, so it was obvious that there was no room at the top for Randy to be the heel champion in Vince’s eyes. Unfortunately, they threw Randy into the deep end in a shark infested pool. Randy wasn’t ready to be a face and the fans didn’t like his character change one bit. The guy went from insulting the fans and being an arrogant ass, to high fiving the fans and sucking up to the other faces. It didn’t suit Randy’s personality at all, and the fans saw right through that. But even worse, they made sure Triple H always came out on top in the end. Outside of the title loss at Unforgiven, they would constantly put Randy in a weakened state. For example, he beats Flair at Taboo Tuesday 2004, only for Flair to beat him on the next RAW and prevent him from challenging for the title while Triple H is champion. 50-50 booking for your top face is a terrible idea. The only significant win Randy had was at Survivor Series for his team to control RAW for a month, and that ended up becoming a waste because Triple H ended up with another title reign without having lost it to anybody else. And to top it all off, they had Triple H come out prior to WrestleMania and claim that Randy was grovelling for the scraps of WrestleMania by challenging Undertaker. He not only buried Randy, but he put himself over Undertaker as well. Absolutely pathetic.

[@Al7249]

@@undefeateddynasty7974 the Benoit win was before the feud with HHH but yeah he did look like a freaking fool during that HHH win. Feels like the face turn was too early there too

[@alec2000]

Oh my god, this feud was absolutely amazing! This absolutely made Randy Orton into a huge star and Undertaker willing to work with a new talent for a yearly story goes to show how much class Undertaker had for the new generation. So many memorable moments with this feud, and it was all perfect storytelling. Definitely one of 2005’s strongest highlights. Thanks for the nostalgia, bro.😊👍

[@mbeas9612]

Exactly like even though Orton was already an huge top guy and main eventer from his feuds with Foley, Benoit and Evolution while being in the group as well, it was his feud with Taker that made sure that he remained his spot as an huge top guy and being in the main event scene forever.

[@grandcanyon-fu9zt]

His feud with Foley in 2004 is what unlocked his potential as a solo star, but this solidified him even more.

[@isaacs.9383]

I think a lot of people forget or are too young to know how big this was. Randy was 24-25 facing Undertaker when he started to hit his creative stride. This would be like Austin Theory entering a top program with Edge

[@Createdplayer1]

like mjf in a program with reigns

[@shawnmichaels568]

One of my favourite rivalry of all time tbh, It had it all. Violence, Blood, Amazing matches and segments, Truly one of the best rivalry of all time.

[@ChaseABagEntertainment]

This how Austin Theory should be build. He reminds me of a young John Cena/Randy Orton legend killer Aura.

[@chimeratcg07]

The feud that saved Randy Orton's career indeed, and I feel that the feud is somewhat underrated.

[@ChrisGrav11]

The most underrated feud in the last 20 years

[@Sourpatchkid6969]

This whole feud is such a gem

[@Mjwara]

This feud proved that Mr RKO can hang with the best the business has to offer.

[@waynetables6414]

Orton joining Evolution was probably the most important thing that happened in his career. His feud with Foley was equally important because it put Orton on the map as an individual separate from HHH's coattails and a guy to be taken seriously. This feud with Taker was also critical because it kept him afloat at a tough time in his career where Batista and Cena were passing him by. It kept him doing something compelling and important on TV every week, which he needed.. and he went back to being a heel, which was always going to be his natural role and the thing he was best at.

[@quentinflacko24]

This feud alone made him a 🌟 thx to the undertaker

[@airealarmour3281]

Man the big gold belt was the best title design

[@TMK561]

I believe Orton himself said that he didn’t want to end the streak out of respect for the Deadman. And was also upset that Brock ended it because he felt like a young star wasn’t going to do it like him at the time, then he should’ve just retired undefeated

[@shady3legend]

I always felt brock ending the streak was and still a dumb decision especially if it wasn't gonna be by a young future star...it didn't do nothing for brock seeing he was part time and make matters worse they had Taker lose to Roman reigns at mania also smh

[@anesseameer]

One of my favourite feuds that lasted the whole damn year these two put on banger matches

[@dkj4593]

Great video! This feud really established Orton as a top player in the main event scene. What I also like about this feud is the fact that it didn't need the World Title and despite this storyline lasting 10 months (February-December 2005), it never got stale or boring. I enjoy these types of feuds.

The picture in HIAC summarizes enough what Randy Orton and The Undertaker characters are

[@khathide22nd]

This rivalry is strange in terms of nostalgia. It feels like it's underrated, like no one talks about it (especially compared to Batista/Undertaker '07 rivalry) but yet also simultaneously fondly remembered, noted as what propelled both stars to their respective next levels.

[@_Larzy]

People talk about this rivalry all the time?

[@methodcam]

Man, I miss when HIAC was actually a big deal, when it was considered the killer of careers. Now a days, it’s just a gimmick. Hopefully now with Triple H in control, it will go back to becoming a serious thing.

[@christianbriggs9512]

Hope we can see Randy Orton again in the near future but if this it for him he had a good career and surprisedly has grown as person and a character at the same time over the years. A staple in my childhood, if it is time he deserves it time to rest Randy just like the legends before him.

Hey man, since bray Wyatt is back now, how about a video of him vs Cena rivalry back in 2014, i think that rivalry was quite underrated because of the payoff and because it got overshadowed with their 2020 feud. Anyhow i would love to hear your voice on it.

[@CARL_093]

good times randy just jump in the main event scene since then

[@denniswilliams6519]

Orton needed this feud. A promising Summer of 04 went down the shitter and his babyface run was a failure, floundering about after losing his feud to Triple H. This feud with Taker helped Orton recapture that spark and was a delightful rebound in the best way.

The feud set Orton in the right path. After a unsuccessful babyface push in late 04, his feud with Taker in early 05 made him a huge star. It was also during that time the company was pushing Cena and Batista as top babyfaces being so successful they ended up being the final two of the Royal Rumble of that year. Orton’s heel run was successful unlike the face push of the previous year.

[@mbeas9612]

2004. Randy Orton was crowned world champion but couldn't handle the responsibility required so he dropped it to Triple H and Batista took over his push the following year.
