Randy Orton was recently interviewed by 105.7 The Point in St. Louis. He spoke on a wide variety of topics about his career. During the interview, Orton spoke about his in-ring style and alluded to the claims that he is lazy and doesn’t care.
In case you are unfamiliar, a popular sentiment that exists about Randy Orton is that he is lazy or sometimes mails in his matches.
Here is what Orton had to say:
“I started kind of getting it, so to speak, the light bulb came on when I stopped giving as much of a crap, I guess you can say. I don’t mean in the sense of being lazy or not caring, you know, that’s not true at all. But kind of letting it happen out there and letting it be more organic as opposed to coming up with all these ideas to where it looks more choreographed. Or if you’re banking on a reaction from the crowd in a particular point in a promo or a match and you don’t get that reaction, being prepared to go another route with what you’re doing”
Orton also says that he watches old matches and uses them to make him stand out:
“Last night I was watching a match with my grandfather from 1958. Just to like remember where it came from, how it was back then. It was a hard, stiff like boxing ring, and they didn’t take all these bumps. They told a story and the fans were on the edge of their seat because of how they were telling the story. And so many things have changed, but you can watch those old tapes via YouTube and the Network and it gives guys like me ideas on how to mix it up and be different than everybody else”
