    About Me: Randy Orton doesn’t have many interests. Other than listening to Metallica or Pantera and watching the occasional movie, wrestling is his life…or, as he would tell you, his destiny.

    It’s easy to understand why. His father is WWE Hall of Famer “Cowboy” Bob Orton, his uncle Barry “Barry O” Orton, and his grandfather “The Big O,” the late Bob Orton, Sr. Most kids remember their first ball game or school play; Randy’s childhood memories include sitting in the kitchen of his family’s St. Louis home with “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, and repairing a broken banister leaned on by Andre the Giant. He wasn’t even five years old when he watched his father knock out “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff in the main event at the inaugural WrestleMania, but he already knew he wanted to be a WWE Superstar.

    Randy’s parents tried dissuading him; his father even warned that life in the ring meant a life on the road, away from family. Yet Randy, seeing how his friends perceived his world-traveling dad in “a different light,” recalls only thinking the prospect was “quite appealing, and something I wanted to do.”

    Still, he agreed to try other avenues first. After graduating Hazelwood Central High School in 1998 (where he was an accomplished amateur wrestler), Orton enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. His plan was to serve a four-year tour of duty, then focus on a wrestling career; his reality was a dishonorable discharge one year later, due to unauthorized absences on two occasions (one for 82 days) and for disobeying a superior officer’s direct order. After spending 38 days in the brig of Camp Pendleton Base, he would resume his civilian life…and to pursuing his destiny.

    Back home in St. Louis, Orton accompanied his father backstage at a local WWE live event in late 1999. He left the show with an opportunity to try out in Stamford, which soon resulted in a developmental deal to train at Ohio Valley Wrestling. Orton quickly rose through OVW’s ranks, and in April 2002, he officially made his WWE debut as a member of SmackDown. The third-generation Superstar had at last fulfilled his dream, though a long-standing rivalry with Mick Foley (and a brutal Hardcore Match at Backlash in 2004 that Orton remembers as one of his greatest contests) provided him with a new purpose:

    What better way to make himself a WWE legend…than to destroy the legends before him?

    Since then, many WWE legends have fallen to Randy Orton. And many more will follow.

    It’s his destiny.

    Randy Orton having to go along with not being assertive/aggressive/intimidating towards those who he's facing against in matches and not being a badass who's scary....ISN'T F**KING RIGHT IT SUCKS!!!
    If Randy Orton's open to the idea of and wants to gain muscle/ weight....slowly and surely...because he's comfortable with doing that, but also wants to look ripped and have muscle definition...and let's say that he wants to weigh more than he does....then fine, he should do that!!! If he also wants to behave scary towards those who deserve it from him, so be it. I mean there are times that he doesn't need to but there are times he does need to. Cena behaving as he did on Raw made the entire show TOTALLY F**KING LAMEASSED AND SUCK HORRIBLY BAD!!! Randy Orton behaving like a guy who's going to destroy, demolish, kick ass on, defeat, beat down, annihilate and squash everyone in his path....NOW THAT'S INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!! He's supposed to be a badass, aggressive, tough, and whatever else he wants to be and do towards people he doesn't like/respect but is supposed to be able to be sweet, gentle, loving, affectionate and good towards himself and any other people who he loves, cares about and respects.
    Truth is: Randy Orton SHOULD AND NEEDS TO KICK ASS ON AND DEFEAT------ Sheamus, John Cena, Triple H, Ted DiBiase, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston and anyone else challenging him for his WWE Championship title at and inside of the Elimination Chamber PPV match and on Raw next week and any other time, place or situation that calls for it!!!
