So you thought Orton had grown up.

Just when you thought he had made a change for the better something like this happens. I think WWE will try and pass it off as him being in character but it doesn't seem like it.

Love the pisstaking of it afterwards.
I don't speak Italian though, so i wonder if that was an intentional rib by his co-workers too?

"Yeah, go ahead and ask him why he's always injured... he'll be cool about it honest"
"Aaaah ok!"
"Mwahahahahah, count the seconds!"

i wanted to see what would happen if after Randy went "say that to me again, to my face call me fragile" the guy just calmy responded "ok your fragile" surely he wouldent have been stupid enough to actually headbutt him.

Yeah i don't think he would be. The whole thing reeked of publicity stunt to me.

I thought that too but when he stormed off saying "I'm done" it seemed genuine. Hopefully he got backstage to find one of the guys co-workers sh*t in his bag.:pac:

This is the typical Bob Geldof "Give me your f*ckin money" "quote" myth. Orton actually never took a dump in anyone's bag. He emptied suntan lotion and baby oil into Amy Weber's and Rochelle Lowen's bag.

Regardless though, that just made Orton look childish.

Given the audience WWE are trying to target, i'd say that was a success then!

If they think Orton is fragile, hope Mr.Kennedy does'nt appear on the show...

ShawnRaven

Or Mr Nash, for that matter

Yup definitely a work just like the Montreal screwjob.

Mr.Nice Guy

Yeah I think it's a work too because Randy usually seems cool and laid back in interviews I've seen.

I know but it makes a better story that the truth.:D

Having watched it a few times it does seem more and more like a work. I guess the fact that nobody came in to the aid of the interviewer wud be the biggest clue.

Meltzer has it as not being worked, for what its worth.

The Sun report that the WWE are claiming it was a work.

Randy's rage was all a work

RANDY Orton's threatening behaviour towards a Mexican TV host was a set-up planned beforehand, according to the WWE.

A spokesman for the company confirmed to SunSport that the WWE champion was only pretending to go berserk, after the interviewer accused him of being "fragile".

Known in the wrestling industry as a 'work', the incident was part of a way to promote Orton's unstable bad guy character.

I don't buy that it was real as I can't imagine him getting so upset at a harmless comment.

Must be the time of the year for publicity stunts!

You got a source for that one? Or are you just reading some dumb site who has misquoted the guy?
