Randy Orton Title History
Randy Orton is a professional wrestler that currently works for the WWE wrestling promotion. Born in Tennessee, Orton signed a deal with the WWE back in 2001, and then began training with Ohio Valley Wrestling; part of the WWE developmental program. Prior to this, Orton trained at the Mid-Missouri Wrestling Association-Southern Illinois Conference Wrestling, and also refereed several World Organized Wrestling matches.
Orton has been a fantastic performer since joining the WWE, has held the much coveted WWE Championship twice, and the World Heavyweight Championship once. Randy Orton is also a one-time Tag Team Champion with Edge, won the 2009 Royal Rumble, and has also won the Intercontinental Championship. He’s of an excellent wrestling pedigree, and was trained by his WWE Hall of Fame father Cowboy Bob Orton.
Randy Orton’s first wrestling match was against the fantastic Hardcore Holly in April 2002, and straight away Orton became a total fans favourite within the WWE. Throughout the years he’s many times switched from hero to villain, always he remains to be an excellent wrestler though, and since arriving in the promotion has really established himself as one of the biggest names in the WWE. He’s a top performer, a hugely talented wrestler, and since making his debut in 2002 has been involved in some incredibly huge matches throughout the years.
Orton formed a fantastic partnership with Edge in 2006, forming the supreme tag team duo of Rated-RKO. Defeating D-Generation X, Edge and Orton were great together, and although the partnership eventually fell apart with the pair of them becoming rivals to win the WWE Championship; their reign together was great while it lasted, and they really did put on some fantastic fights as a partnership.
Having also formerly partnered with Triple H during his early days in the promotion, Randy Orton has more recently been battling against Triple H as well, both of them also hungry for the WWE Championship. Currently held by Edge, the WWE Championship has changed hands many times in recent years, and always the top competitors in the WWE are eager to win the belt. The WWE Championship has been the cause of many broken partnerships throughout the years, and although it’s sad to see bonds broken over the belt; it’s always fantastic to see former partners fighting it out against one another in a bid to win the WWE Championship. Randy Orton is one of the very best wrestlers in the WWE right now, and having already won the WWE Championship twice; he’ll no doubt win it again in the not too distant future.
Both his father and his father’s father were wrestlers; Randy Orton is from a proud wrestling background, and with the father that he has; it’s really no surprise that he’s such an expert in the ring.
He knows how to work a crowd, he’s got a brilliant record in wrestling, and never does Randy Orton cease to amaze with his performances in the ring. He’s a huge talent in wrestling right now, and will surely remain a WWE superstar for some time to come.
Randy Orton is one of the biggest names in the WWE right now, and could well go on to become one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He certainly has the potential, and already a superstar all around the world; it’d be excellent to see Randy Orton enter the WWE Hall of Fame in the future, and join his father in the list which comprises of some of the greatest wrestlers ever to have existed.
