450 Splat!

[Scottland]

I think Justin Gabriel messed up on his 450 Splash tonight on RAW against The Viper. That was clearly suppose to be a missed shot. It looked to me Gabriel jumped to far out & landed on Orton oddly while Orton was trying to move away. I will say Orton didn't look pleased but seem to have gotten over it shortly after. I'm sure Gabriel will hear about it though because Orton has told off guys like Kofi, Miz, & Kennedy in the past. But I really can't blame Orton.

[Necroyeti]

Yeah, it looked pretty botchy to me.

If the rumours about Orton are true, I suspect Gabriel will be buried or "future endeavoured" very shortly for pissing off Orton.

So a high flying wrestler, that we know may botch becasuse its the top rope and inbalance may happen at anytime, botches a move and Randy will bitch?

Well, wait a minute...It's just pure speculation. Some have said Randy played it looking like he hurt his shoulder. Granted though, Gabriel botched a high risked move & could have hurt himself let alone Orton himself. I can understand why Orton may get pissed off at a botch move. One little mistake can end a career & these guys need to be practically perfect when doing moves like the 450 Splash. I know guys like Orton, Taker, HBK & so forth have a history of getting pissed when something gets screwed up & truth be told, you can't blame them especially when there lives & careers are on the line every night when stepping foot in that ring.

I don’t know randy gave him a pretty dirty look right before he hit the RKO on him, I’m going to stick with he should start looking for another job.

What's the common denominator here - that's right - Randy Orton. Funny how so many seem to botch around him. Working stiff goes both ways; hurt yourself or someone else. It's possible Orton's ego and perceived position of security have lead him to occasionally getting sloppy. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Orton actually refused to go through the match with a 'rookie' and was cocky enough to think he could just dictate the action as they went. That's pure speculation, mind you

Yeah, I saw the dirty look Orton gave Gabriel but he just gave him a dirty look & did give a forceful RKO. It wasn't anything like he did with Kofi, Miz or Kennedy. Orton chewed them out in the ring & in the backstage area. I don't think Gabriel will be fired or anything but I think he will get a small rant & maybe put into a squash match once but other then that...it will be water under the bridge.

Hmmm...are you blaming Orton?

[Revolver Magus]

Hmmm...are you blaming Orton?

I do partially, from where I saw at work tonight, Orton should have noted that it was too much of a distance to clear the Splash in the direction he went. He should have rolled in the opposite direction, which would have placed him outside the ring in more than enough time to clear the splash get back in and land the Rko without incident. Now I'll admit Gabriel over shot the splash like he did with the Big Show 2 weeks ago (when barret ordered him to preform 2 of them) but they need to realise its very difficult to land an exact spot with the momentum of that move. So all in all I would say both are at fault, though I would shift more of the blame on Orton for not rolling in the more logical direction, given the lack of accuracy that naturally goes with the 450 Splash. I pray Gabriel dosent get buried over this because he has massive potential IMO.
