Not too long ago I heard the crowd chant something that I thought was exclusive to John Cena.
Females: Lets go Randy!
Males: Randy sucks!

Randy's not had a world title match in a year but Big Show gets 4? WWE: Lets push Big Show because EVERYONE finds him interesting and it's not like he made summerslam SS and RR world title matches boring as hell.
I was thinking today about my top five favorite wrestlers to watch in the wwe... it's hard not to put him on that list... haters are going to hate but IMO orton is always overlooked because he isn't a super face nor a super heel anymore.
The Legend Killer gimmick was never going to last longer than it did. You're eventually going to run out of legends (that mean anything) for him to face, and at some point, Orton's going to become a legend himself.
That gimmick IMO was perfect for a young star in order to establish him, but going back to that gimmick isn't really an option FOR Orton. You could have a new star adopting the gimmick and then having Orton face him, putting him over at the end of it.
people keep giving him shit about how he's boring, stale, etc. that may be true on some point but he keeps giving us quality matches. imo the reasom why he's "boring" to a lot of people is because he keeps on getting involved with random people and storylines. no meaningful ones, just plain random storylines.
Look another thread about someone being under rated with another bunch of comments that say "he was better as a heel, he was better with this gimmick, you know when he was heel" ... get over it Orton isn't bad on the mic, not great but not bad, they don't give him an exceptionally dynamic character, and i'm not sure if it's because he can't do better or a creative decision his in ring stuff has been and continues to be some of the best in the world clean, fast, smooth, and backed by excellent ring story telling. i think he's given credit by some, but underestimated by a few ( the wwe doesn't they keep him near the title hunt for a reason). As for his character being "Stale" i chalk comments like that up to "what should happen in wrestling is....."
