1
00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:15,900
Being a bad guy kind of comes easy. It's
like second nature for me.
2
00:00:18,140 --> 00:00:22,180
Just knowing how to get under people's
skin.
3
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:29,120
There's a way that I get into the zone.
And a lot of times it meant bending over
4
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,600
and holding my breath and pushing all
the blood into my face.
5
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,080
Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
6
00:00:45,660 --> 00:00:46,860
And then I got it.
7
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,880
And then I got it. And I can just do
what I need to do. And I can pull
8
00:00:53,880 --> 00:01:00,040
emotion I need to pull out of the
audience because I feel it. And when you
9
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,560
into my eyes, you can tell that I feel
it.
10
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,140
Excuse me, uh, who the hell are you
interrupting me?
11
00:01:34,940 --> 00:01:36,000
Ah, that's right.
12
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,820
You're, uh, you're Randy Orton.
13
00:01:39,860 --> 00:01:43,420
He is known as the Viper, the legend
killer.
14
00:01:45,020 --> 00:01:48,340
Sometimes he strikes out of nowhere.
15
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,700
Other times, he mercilessly toys with
his prey.
16
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,640
The Viper coiled, ready to strike!
17
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,100
I love Randy Orton. Dudes hate Randy
Orton. Every guy I've ever dated hates
18
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:15,800
Randy Orton. I don't know if it's just
pure jealousy.
19
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:22,280
He has the look. He has the body. He has
the physique. He has the skill.
20
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:30,100
He exudes confidence in every step that
he takes. He relishes the ability to
21
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:35,900
inflict damage and human suffering. So
he's not just after a championship.
22
00:02:36,750 --> 00:02:39,710
He wants to make his opponents' life
miserable.
23
00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:56,290
I hate using the word because I don't
really, but conniving. He's smarmy,
24
00:02:56,590 --> 00:03:03,430
He's the kind of bad guy that it's more
mental than it
25
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:04,430
is physical.
26
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:12,080
There's almost like a sadistic side of
it, but it's almost like he might be
27
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,080
crazy for real.
28
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:23,580
He just has a way of presenting like
29
00:03:23,580 --> 00:03:24,860
crazy or scary.
30
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,140
And it's the way he kind of looks angry,
but he's also smiling because he's
31
00:03:30,140 --> 00:03:33,920
enjoying what he's doing when he's
usually lighting somebody on fire,
32
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:34,920
somebody.
33
00:03:35,420 --> 00:03:41,040
With Randy, it's just this constant
viper movement of a snake in the grass.
34
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,040
And when you see his eyes lock on you,
you feel like you've already been caught
35
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,120
or you've already been bitten.
36
00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:54,580
Randy Orton's enjoying every second of
this.
37
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,640
Yes, yes, we have arrived.
38
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,840
You love to hate him. I love to love
him, personally.
39
00:04:03,859 --> 00:04:09,640
Standing up, the whole nine, like it's
just a person who doesn't look like the
40
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,320
rest of us mere mortals walking on this
planet. He executes, he dominates, he
41
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,380
takes out big names left and right.
42
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:23,540
Mick Foley, Harley Raitt, Goldust, Rowdy
Roddy Piper, hell, even the fabulous
43
00:04:23,540 --> 00:04:26,900
Lula. This woman is a legend.
44
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:31,600
And by the way,
45
00:04:32,390 --> 00:04:36,170
Randy Orton, legend killer.
46
00:04:36,830 --> 00:04:41,810
What? Oh, my God. I don't believe he
just did that.
47
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:47,410
Beyond the villain, Randy Orton, the
technician, is awesome.
48
00:04:48,990 --> 00:04:52,550
Randy Orton may be the man around here
sooner than we think.
49
00:04:52,810 --> 00:04:58,330
Maybe more than any other superstar of
the last 20 years, he just is fluent.
50
00:04:59,690 --> 00:05:04,650
On that DDT off the second row, punches,
drop kick.
51
00:05:05,030 --> 00:05:06,270
The punt kick.
52
00:05:06,490 --> 00:05:07,449
The punt!
53
00:05:07,450 --> 00:05:08,990
And, of course, the RKO.
54
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:10,350
Oh, my God!
55
00:05:11,210 --> 00:05:14,450
Randy Orton with an RKO to the
Undertaker!
56
00:05:15,810 --> 00:05:22,030
RKO. Randy, knockout. It looks perfect.
The name is perfect. It is literally the
57
00:05:22,030 --> 00:05:23,250
perfect finishing maneuver.
58
00:05:29,290 --> 00:05:33,710
I think the thing about the RKO that's
fire is that it's a leap. It also
59
00:05:33,710 --> 00:05:37,230
like a worldwide meme, like people
getting RKO'd into pools and stuff like
60
00:05:49,050 --> 00:05:53,330
RKO is one of the greatest finishing
maneuvers in the world of sports
61
00:05:53,330 --> 00:05:56,850
entertainment. He even hit Hulk Hogan
with an RKO on a car.
62
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,600
It was awesome. The crowd goes crazy.
They love an RKF.
63
00:06:04,660 --> 00:06:11,520
Randy Orton is an imposing figure,
intensely focused, a superior athlete,
64
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:17,760
dangerous, and incapable of showing
empathy.
65
00:06:18,140 --> 00:06:22,160
The Viper is in the driver's seat right
now. You can tell by the smirk on his
66
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,160
face.
67
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:25,100
But how did he get so malicious?
68
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,300
Is Orton's brand of evil innate?
69
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,960
or learn.
70
00:06:35,140 --> 00:06:38,540
As a kid, you know, I didn't have a lot
of confidence.
71
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,740
I was definitely insecure.
72
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,620
I was not the kid that had a bunch of
friends.
73
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:53,260
I kind of just never really found that
clique of people that
74
00:06:53,260 --> 00:06:55,920
I could call friends.
75
00:06:56,980 --> 00:07:01,580
Randy was... was pretty quiet and
respectful.
76
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,840
He got into some mischief, you know, but
all kids do.
77
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:11,540
You know, nothing where they don't want
to throw him in jail or anything, but,
78
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,520
you know, he was just a kid, just a
regular kid.
79
00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:20,860
I was such an insecure kid.
80
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:26,180
I think I was a quiet kid, got picked
on, bullied.
81
00:07:28,979 --> 00:07:30,400
Like, it was bad.
82
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:37,700
I could see Randy getting bullied as a
child and then taking all of that in,
83
00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:40,420
it does affect you. And sometimes that
just means you're going to grow up and
84
00:07:40,420 --> 00:07:41,420
a bully yourself.
85
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:48,520
And sometimes it means you can focus all
those terrible things that have
86
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,980
happened to you or the bad days that
you've had. It makes you jealous and
87
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:55,360
and that is really hard.
88
00:07:58,990 --> 00:08:02,770
He started working out in the gym in the
basement. He was probably 9 or 10 years
89
00:08:02,770 --> 00:08:05,230
old. And then he wrestled all through
school.
90
00:08:05,950 --> 00:08:11,870
I was definitely bullied until,
91
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:15,570
you know, I'd say halfway through my
high school career.
92
00:08:16,250 --> 00:08:22,610
And that's only because I shot up, you
know, half a foot, and all of a sudden
93
00:08:22,690 --> 00:08:26,090
you know, had muscles and was taller
than everybody else.
94
00:08:27,180 --> 00:08:31,760
Part of what happens when you're bullied
as a child is you don't have power.
95
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:33,320
You feel helpless.
96
00:08:33,940 --> 00:08:39,559
You can't fight back. You can't get
even. You have to stuff that anger down.
97
00:08:40,539 --> 00:08:45,860
It's almost like a pot of boiling water,
and the lid is blowing off, and you
98
00:08:45,860 --> 00:08:50,620
just keep holding it down and holding it
down and holding it down. And then one
99
00:08:50,620 --> 00:08:55,260
day you feel ready, and you pull the top
off of that pot.
100
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:57,280
And you let the anger go.
101
00:08:59,460 --> 00:09:05,740
And then comes the day when you are big
and you are strong and you can unleash
102
00:09:05,740 --> 00:09:10,380
that anger and get the revenge that you
feel like you deserve.
103
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:22,300
Randy Orton is a third -generation
superstar.
104
00:09:23,989 --> 00:09:29,030
following in the footsteps of his
grandfather, Bob Orton Sr., and father,
105
00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:30,030
Bob Orton.
106
00:09:30,350 --> 00:09:33,270
Considered by many in the wrestling
fraternity to be one of the greats.
107
00:09:34,590 --> 00:09:39,890
Well, I was a cowboy, a rough -and
-tumble guy that knew how to wrestle.
108
00:09:40,590 --> 00:09:45,570
I was always pretty rugged in the ring,
and I didn't take any gruff from
109
00:09:45,570 --> 00:09:46,570
anybody.
110
00:09:47,110 --> 00:09:51,750
A lot of folks tried to give me some,
but I put it into that pretty quick.
111
00:09:53,930 --> 00:09:55,630
I was very dislikable.
112
00:09:58,510 --> 00:09:59,710
God, it felt good.
113
00:10:00,210 --> 00:10:05,090
I'm sure his dad didn't teach him that
way. I'm sure he didn't. I had a very
114
00:10:05,090 --> 00:10:09,250
good knowledge of wrestling itself from
watching my dad.
115
00:10:09,510 --> 00:10:13,030
I learned crowd psychology from dad.
116
00:10:13,330 --> 00:10:17,370
One of the best things people can watch
is the superstars.
117
00:10:17,710 --> 00:10:22,890
I agree with that, dad. I'd like to
treat everybody in the country that I
118
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,020
An athlete, it's incomparable.
119
00:10:25,380 --> 00:10:26,380
Set for the ride.
120
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,980
Oh, failed him right in the lower
abdomen.
121
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:35,640
Growing up, you know, I knew I had this
famous father that was on TV, and I'd go
122
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,980
home, and depending on what territory he
was wrestling in or whether or not he
123
00:10:40,980 --> 00:10:44,140
was with WWE at the time, you know, I
would watch my father.
124
00:10:44,380 --> 00:10:51,380
And from my earliest memory of watching
my dad, it was like just
125
00:10:51,380 --> 00:10:52,800
what my dad did for a living.
126
00:10:54,259 --> 00:10:59,400
just when my dad goes to work sometimes
he's in japan for a month before he
127
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,180
comes home it wasn't like this special
to do that my dad was this famous
128
00:11:04,180 --> 00:11:07,900
professional wrestler it was work it was
what he did to put food on the table
129
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:13,880
there were times we were on the road 100
days in a row that's just you know what
130
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:20,380
we did back then when randy was in
school i wouldn't get to see him at all
131
00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:22,340
from the time he was
132
00:11:23,210 --> 00:11:30,210
Maybe four or five years old, until the
time he was 10 or 11, I probably
133
00:11:30,210 --> 00:11:34,770
got the scene, gosh, this is going to
sound horrible, but maybe 10, 12 days a
134
00:11:34,770 --> 00:11:35,770
year.
135
00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:42,850
My mom would kind of just speak on how
hard it was on your family, how hard it
136
00:11:42,850 --> 00:11:48,170
was on you, the individual that was
traveling the world nonstop with limited
137
00:11:48,170 --> 00:11:51,790
dates off, missing birthdays and
holidays all the time.
138
00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:56,040
She saw that, and she didn't want that
for me.
139
00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:59,280
Randy chose his own path.
140
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,480
One that led to 13 weeks of hell.
141
00:12:13,340 --> 00:12:18,100
Turning away from his family's legacy,
Randy sought a new path for his life.
142
00:12:19,980 --> 00:12:23,940
I definitely didn't want to go to
college. In my case, I chose the Marine
143
00:12:25,660 --> 00:12:29,020
I went through, I believe it was 12 or
13 weeks of hell.
144
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,380
USMC boot camp.
145
00:12:32,380 --> 00:12:33,680
Boot camp sucked.
146
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:41,220
The atmosphere that I was put in had a
lot of negative aspects of it that
147
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:44,240
I'll never go into in public.
148
00:12:45,850 --> 00:12:50,130
I was seeing things that I didn't want
to deal with and I didn't sign up for.
149
00:12:51,150 --> 00:12:52,150
So I left.
150
00:12:56,230 --> 00:13:00,470
I went AWOL for about 82 days.
151
00:13:00,990 --> 00:13:06,330
I turned myself in, and I ended up
serving. I think I was sentenced 45 days
152
00:13:06,330 --> 00:13:10,330
the Camp Pendleton Base Brig military
prison.
153
00:13:11,730 --> 00:13:14,570
He was gung -ho to go to the service.
154
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,820
But I know that because of who he was, I
think he had to take a little bit more
155
00:13:18,820 --> 00:13:21,260
gruff than some guys.
156
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:27,420
And he's always had kind of an attitude,
too. I mean, it shows even now when you
157
00:13:27,420 --> 00:13:28,640
watch him. He's got an attitude.
158
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:35,080
Depending on a person's experience in
the military, some people will describe
159
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,040
feeling like they've lost themselves,
like they don't have an ability to
160
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,060
their own thoughts.
161
00:13:41,550 --> 00:13:43,270
or feelings or behaviors.
162
00:13:43,630 --> 00:13:48,990
And I really think that that's part of
what impacted Randy Orton that
163
00:13:48,990 --> 00:13:51,110
led to him building his character.
164
00:13:51,970 --> 00:13:58,130
After the military, Randy returned home
with no direction and no plan for his
165
00:13:58,130 --> 00:13:59,130
future.
166
00:13:59,650 --> 00:14:03,030
Oh, that's when I started thinking about
getting him in the business, you know,
167
00:14:03,050 --> 00:14:04,050
the wrestling business.
168
00:14:05,570 --> 00:14:10,590
Randy Orton's dad, Bob Orton Jr., gave
me a call in the office one day and
169
00:14:10,630 --> 00:14:15,840
hey. My son's 19. I'd really love to see
if I could get him in the developmental
170
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,840
system.
171
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,280
And I said, great.
172
00:14:18,660 --> 00:14:21,460
Let me know. You know, when you're
ready, Bob, we're ready for him.
173
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,840
Side unseen.
174
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,200
We sent him to OVW, which was our
training facility in Louisville,
175
00:14:29,940 --> 00:14:33,380
And Randy was kind of a tall, skinny
kid.
176
00:14:33,620 --> 00:14:36,240
I wish I could, you know, both.
177
00:14:36,570 --> 00:14:40,050
Everybody and say that there was this
moment where I knew that a professional
178
00:14:40,050 --> 00:14:44,130
wrestler is what I was destined to be.
But I became a professional wrestler
179
00:14:44,130 --> 00:14:48,570
because I didn't know what else I was
going to do. And I figured, yeah, let me
180
00:14:48,570 --> 00:14:49,570
give this a shot.
181
00:14:49,930 --> 00:14:54,450
And that's probably one of the reasons
why the locker room didn't like me too
182
00:14:54,450 --> 00:14:55,970
much when I showed up to OVW.
183
00:14:57,650 --> 00:15:02,890
Randy joined an OVW roster that was
stacked with future WWE Hall of Famers,
184
00:15:02,950 --> 00:15:04,810
including Dave Bautista.
185
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,000
and Brock Lesnar, and he made an
immediate impression on them.
186
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,220
Randy Orton pressing the advantage on
Johnny Spade!
187
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,980
He hammered Johnny Spade!
188
00:15:14,380 --> 00:15:20,160
I knew that I had my work cut out for
me, and that's probably the hardest I've
189
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,720
ever worked in my entire career.
190
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:30,320
Everyone that encountered Randy during
his training period said Randy Orton was
191
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,259
a natural.
192
00:15:31,260 --> 00:15:32,260
From day one.
193
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:45,180
Randy's natural ability
194
00:15:45,180 --> 00:15:47,560
earned him a spot on the main roster.
195
00:15:47,980 --> 00:15:51,360
But doing too much too soon led to
disaster.
196
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:59,920
I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think
Orton is hurt. I think he's hurt bad.
197
00:16:00,940 --> 00:16:07,040
Randy had two shoulder injuries pretty
early in his career, and he quickly got
198
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:13,600
it into his head that physically you
have more years if you can tone down the
199
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,760
-ring work and learn to manipulate those
cameras in the right way.
200
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,520
I was injured, and by every right, like
everyone else, should have went home for
201
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,980
six weeks, six months, whatever, and let
the shoulder heal. But instead...
202
00:16:28,410 --> 00:16:34,290
They had me come back every week for TV
in a sling and do an update. They called
203
00:16:34,290 --> 00:16:36,150
it the RNN update.
204
00:16:36,510 --> 00:16:38,650
What is this now? We got breaking news.
205
00:16:40,310 --> 00:16:42,110
Oh, God. Hi.
206
00:16:42,570 --> 00:16:45,530
Randy Orton here with another special
injury update.
207
00:16:45,750 --> 00:16:50,390
I have great news to announce. My
shoulder now has 32 % mobility.
208
00:16:50,930 --> 00:16:53,070
That's up 2 % from last week.
209
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,860
He would have these RNN segments where
he would come out, talk about his
210
00:16:59,860 --> 00:17:03,880
shoulder injury, and while you're
watching these, you would think, who the
211
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,079
cares, right? He manages to get under
your skin.
212
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:13,040
With my drive, with my athleticism, my
commitment to all these people, I will
213
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,560
back in a mere three to four months.
214
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,800
The RNN updates were classic Orton.
215
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:25,839
proving he was a natural at irritating
anyone and everyone.
216
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:32,660
Nearly half a year after injuring his
shoulder, Randy returned to action.
217
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,180
But his disruptive behavior would keep
his career from taking off.
218
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,040
Well,
219
00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:46,760
I think Randy, he wasn't mature enough.
220
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,300
How long are they going to sit here?
Seriously?
221
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,240
You know, go out there and represent us.
222
00:17:51,710 --> 00:17:52,830
Randy wasn't ready for that.
223
00:17:53,790 --> 00:17:55,770
You know, he was a kid.
224
00:17:57,330 --> 00:17:59,910
Orton's career was suddenly floundering.
225
00:18:01,350 --> 00:18:04,090
Until Triple H stepped in.
226
00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:06,510
Randy Orton.
227
00:18:07,070 --> 00:18:11,950
The business is in his blood. Third
generation superstar.
228
00:18:12,270 --> 00:18:16,910
The man has every gift that a man can be
given.
229
00:18:17,850 --> 00:18:20,130
Randy Orton is the coal.
230
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,400
that will be squeezed into the next
diamond.
231
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,680
Horton joined Evolution, a new faction
comprised of generational talent.
232
00:18:30,620 --> 00:18:35,280
Evolution consisted of the animal and
powerhouse Dave Batista, the dirtiest
233
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:40,500
player in the game and 16 -time world
champion Ric Flair, and himself crowned
234
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:42,240
King of Kings, Triple H.
235
00:18:43,060 --> 00:18:47,320
I am so blessed that those two men saw
something in me.
236
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,540
I'll never forget that. That is
evolution, and I don't care who you are.
237
00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:55,380
isn't a damn person that can stop us.
238
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,060
He went from being this young guy with a
lot of potential, the legend in the
239
00:19:00,060 --> 00:19:05,020
making, establishing all of his
credibility with evolution by aligning
240
00:19:05,020 --> 00:19:07,160
with Triple H and Ric Flair.
241
00:19:07,820 --> 00:19:12,280
Because I was in evolution, because I
was in the main event storyline, when I
242
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,660
was firing on all cylinders, they knew
it was time. All right, what are we
243
00:19:16,660 --> 00:19:17,349
to do?
244
00:19:17,350 --> 00:19:19,770
What are we going to do to push this kid
to the next level?
245
00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:21,550
Oh, look at this!
246
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:29,050
Evolution was instrumental in helping
Randy harness his potential.
247
00:19:31,910 --> 00:19:36,170
But the WWE universe still saw Orton as
protected within Evolution.
248
00:19:37,170 --> 00:19:38,350
I'm a legend!
249
00:19:39,170 --> 00:19:43,350
A pretty boy's smart -mouthed third
-generation superstar who would never
250
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:44,350
it on his own.
251
00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:46,970
especially against the likes of a
hardcore legend.
252
00:19:56,510 --> 00:20:01,810
You rely on that talent and you rely on
that ability and you rely on what
253
00:20:01,810 --> 00:20:04,830
brought you to the dance. And do you
know what brought you to the dance,
254
00:20:07,230 --> 00:20:08,230
Evolution.
255
00:20:10,870 --> 00:20:12,730
I went into 2004.
256
00:20:13,790 --> 00:20:18,770
Needing somebody to bring me from here
to here. That somebody was Mick Foley.
257
00:20:19,150 --> 00:20:23,550
The hardcore legend Mick Foley was the
opposite of Randy Orton in every
258
00:20:23,550 --> 00:20:28,790
conceivable way. He had a reputation for
sacrificing himself in order to cause
259
00:20:28,790 --> 00:20:30,290
maximum pain to his opponents.
260
00:20:30,790 --> 00:20:34,710
Mick chose to come out of retirement to
teach Orton a lesson.
261
00:20:34,970 --> 00:20:40,610
Randy Orton, are you... You're feeling
disrespected by the fans?
262
00:20:41,310 --> 00:20:48,030
Potential is a vague term, but you see
something in someone and you
263
00:20:48,030 --> 00:20:53,390
know that they have just scratched the
surface of what they're capable of. And
264
00:20:53,390 --> 00:20:59,270
that's what I sensed when I saw Randy on
television. And then I was, I guess, a
265
00:20:59,270 --> 00:21:05,390
believer in myself enough that I thought
I could be that one big rivalry that
266
00:21:05,390 --> 00:21:06,870
boosts that character.
267
00:21:13,610 --> 00:21:16,790
There's not a lot of guys out there that
are going to be okay with a grown man
268
00:21:16,790 --> 00:21:17,850
spitting in his face.
269
00:21:19,950 --> 00:21:25,290
I had a crisis of confidence, and I
hadn't had a match in four years.
270
00:21:26,010 --> 00:21:31,470
And then I had this amazing opportunity
to do a singles match with Randy.
271
00:21:31,710 --> 00:21:37,550
I wanted it to be a transformative match
for him, but I also wanted it to be a
272
00:21:37,550 --> 00:21:41,530
match that I could be proud of in case I
never wrestled again.
273
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:51,680
And on that night in Edmonton, Alberta,
we come
274
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,220
up with a match that stands the test of
time.
275
00:21:55,900 --> 00:21:59,120
Foley dumped me in a pile of thumbtacks.
276
00:21:59,420 --> 00:22:03,840
And this is not for the weak at heart,
I'll tell you that. I dare say, as good
277
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,680
as Randy is, he was in shock.
278
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:18,620
Had the confidence to take his character
in places where most won't go.
279
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,920
That hardcore match I had was the
toughest match I had had at that point
280
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:25,920
career.
281
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:33,040
And that showed the fans, this kid isn't
a kid anymore.
282
00:22:36,740 --> 00:22:38,820
Landy thrived in an atmosphere.
283
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,820
where a lot of people thought he was too
handsome to thrive in.
284
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:48,100
That was a huge moment for me because
that showed that I could hang with a
285
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:49,360
legend like Mick.
286
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:54,820
But not only hang, that I could beat
him.
287
00:22:59,260 --> 00:23:06,040
Randy Orton has made his
288
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,200
mark. People in one night.
289
00:23:08,910 --> 00:23:13,590
changed the way they saw that character.
It certified his toughness.
290
00:23:14,190 --> 00:23:16,190
He defeated the hardcore legend.
291
00:23:17,550 --> 00:23:23,650
Once Orton got the taste of destroying
the hardcore legend, he wanted more.
292
00:23:24,030 --> 00:23:29,130
Orton went on a diabolical rampage,
destroying any legend he could get his
293
00:23:29,130 --> 00:23:30,130
on.
294
00:23:32,430 --> 00:23:36,910
there were so many different legendary
superstars that you looked up to and you
295
00:23:36,910 --> 00:23:41,130
watched him putting them out for good,
legit legend killing.
296
00:23:42,670 --> 00:23:48,590
I think when I was younger, I just
thought about me.
297
00:23:49,090 --> 00:23:54,330
I'm main eventing shows and I'm beating,
you know, multiple world champions and
298
00:23:54,330 --> 00:23:59,250
setting records and making historical
moments.
299
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,960
world champion in WWE history.
300
00:24:08,540 --> 00:24:12,980
Green did get an awful lot of stardom
very quickly because he was green.
301
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,240
And he wasn't ready for the stardom that
he got.
302
00:24:19,180 --> 00:24:20,840
It was too much too soon.
303
00:24:31,010 --> 00:24:35,550
WWE superstars love to say that their
character on camera is kind of like
304
00:24:35,550 --> 00:24:38,270
real personality just turned all the way
up to 10.
305
00:24:38,950 --> 00:24:42,050
You have been injured in your clavicle,
your arms, everywhere.
306
00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:43,730
You sound like pretty fragile.
307
00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:46,470
Look at me, look at me, look at me, look
at me, look at me!
308
00:24:46,950 --> 00:24:48,170
Now say it again!
309
00:24:48,410 --> 00:24:50,950
Say it again! I dare you to say it
again!
310
00:24:51,310 --> 00:24:55,550
Call me fragile! I will headbutt your
teeth through your skull!
311
00:24:55,870 --> 00:24:56,870
Do you hear me?
312
00:24:58,490 --> 00:25:01,350
Look, Randy had every tool in the world.
313
00:25:02,030 --> 00:25:05,210
I've told him that a million times.
Every tool in the world. The only one
314
00:25:05,210 --> 00:25:06,330
going to derail you is you.
315
00:25:06,770 --> 00:25:08,090
And you're hell -bent on it.
316
00:25:08,670 --> 00:25:09,850
Do you have a big TV?
317
00:25:15,010 --> 00:25:19,310
Randy, I think he was ready to be the
world champion in the ring.
318
00:25:20,010 --> 00:25:23,790
I don't think he was ready to be world
champion outside the ring.
319
00:25:24,950 --> 00:25:25,950
I was famous.
320
00:25:26,410 --> 00:25:31,840
Like... World known. And to be that
young and to be that recognizable, like,
321
00:25:31,900 --> 00:25:33,400
it's a lot of pressure.
322
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,080
Pretty much, to sum it up, I wasn't
really on. I let the fame get to my
323
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:44,500
I don't think I recognized that I was as
big of a prick as I was.
324
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,820
The fame thing, I think, it's an
interesting two -headed monster.
325
00:25:51,020 --> 00:25:52,760
It is glorious.
326
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,160
It gets you perk. It gets you
recognition, money.
327
00:25:56,780 --> 00:26:00,080
It's an attention that I do think a lot
of people crave.
328
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,300
But on the other hand, it's got to be
jarring.
329
00:26:04,940 --> 00:26:07,820
Because it's not like these are
overnight success stories for the most
330
00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:10,880
These people have been working so hard
for so long and they're just waiting on
331
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:11,859
that break.
332
00:26:11,860 --> 00:26:15,840
And when that break comes, that's not
easy.
333
00:26:17,220 --> 00:26:19,120
It's a big money in our pockets, baby.
334
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,000
You just have access to everything.
335
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,740
And it's like all of a sudden. First
year, I have nothing.
336
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,720
and you're struggling to make your way
in life, now you have access to whatever
337
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,720
you want.
338
00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:35,060
I don't know how a 20 -year -old kid
would deal with that pressure.
339
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:44,700
Randy, in his younger days, was very
rebellious. Randy was the
340
00:26:44,700 --> 00:26:47,080
epitome of the rebellious youth.
341
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:52,060
No matter what Randy did, there was a
sense of just trouble.
342
00:26:52,260 --> 00:26:53,760
There was a sense of darkness.
343
00:26:55,770 --> 00:26:59,890
April 2nd, 2005 was a very special day
for the Orton family.
344
00:27:00,590 --> 00:27:05,410
Cowboy Bob Orton was being enshrined
into the WWE Hall of Fame, and Randy
345
00:27:05,410 --> 00:27:07,270
have the honor of inducting his father.
346
00:27:09,650 --> 00:27:14,490
The night before, I decided to stay up
all night with a couple guys that I knew
347
00:27:14,490 --> 00:27:19,110
I shouldn't have been hanging around
with, and we got into some stuff that
348
00:27:19,110 --> 00:27:20,110
us up all night.
349
00:27:22,830 --> 00:27:28,510
When I inducted my father into the Hall
of Fame, I was
350
00:27:28,510 --> 00:27:34,390
out of it. This business, my grandfather
was in this business. Where you at,
351
00:27:34,430 --> 00:27:35,770
Grandpa? Where you at? Come on now.
352
00:27:36,050 --> 00:27:37,050
Bob Horton Sr.
353
00:27:38,210 --> 00:27:41,610
I hadn't come up with a speech.
354
00:27:42,530 --> 00:27:44,610
I winged it.
355
00:27:45,510 --> 00:27:47,730
I spoke from the heart, but...
356
00:27:48,540 --> 00:27:50,380
I didn't do my father justice.
357
00:27:50,820 --> 00:27:57,360
Ladies and gentlemen, the man that I
love, my father, cowboy, Bob Wharton.
358
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:01,020
That look of disappointment on my
father's face.
359
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:09,380
If I have any regrets as far as my
career goes, that's probably,
360
00:28:09,620 --> 00:28:11,440
that's probably it.
361
00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:14,500
It made me act out even more.
362
00:28:18,990 --> 00:28:23,790
I think that a lot of times when you
create this character, like, it's this
363
00:28:23,790 --> 00:28:28,930
line of when you tread, like, too far,
often you lose sense of what's real or
364
00:28:28,930 --> 00:28:29,930
what's not.
365
00:28:30,810 --> 00:28:35,650
The person that goes the deepest into
the character sometimes is the most
366
00:28:35,650 --> 00:28:39,410
interesting to watch, you know? And when
it's safely done, there's genius to
367
00:28:39,410 --> 00:28:40,410
that, you know?
368
00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:44,710
But it can be harmful because...
369
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,520
If you really want to convince people,
sometimes you have to really live that.
370
00:28:49,220 --> 00:28:55,140
By the end of 2005, the line between
Randy Orton the superstar and Randy
371
00:28:55,140 --> 00:28:57,460
the person was basically gone.
372
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,940
Here we are a year later having a
problem with substance abuse.
373
00:29:04,740 --> 00:29:11,360
And I got into some trouble. I drove
home from a show in Peoria,
374
00:29:11,540 --> 00:29:14,440
Illinois to St. Louis back to my house.
375
00:29:14,860 --> 00:29:18,100
And I'm just white knuckling the wheel.
376
00:29:21,180 --> 00:29:22,240
I get home.
377
00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:26,820
Now it's early wee hours of the morning.
And I want to crash. So what do you do?
378
00:29:27,060 --> 00:29:28,980
Well, I take my pills.
379
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,600
This will put me to sleep.
380
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,040
And I was right.
381
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,960
Because I woke up in the ER.
382
00:29:49,710 --> 00:29:54,310
I woke up in the ER and I had an
accidental overdose.
383
00:29:55,810 --> 00:30:02,370
I remember realizing that I'm mad at
myself that I was so dumb to
384
00:30:02,370 --> 00:30:06,030
jeopardize all these opportunities that
I've been given. I didn't necessarily
385
00:30:06,030 --> 00:30:07,790
act out because I was.
386
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:13,120
I acted out because I didn't know who I
was yet and that I had been thrust into
387
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,660
the spotlight so early on to where I
hadn't led enough of a life and been
388
00:30:17,660 --> 00:30:22,820
schooled on what it means to be a man
yet. I was in the circus at an early
389
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,640
traveling town to town.
390
00:30:25,220 --> 00:30:28,500
The world was my playground, but it was
a reality check.
391
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:35,040
After the hospital, I was close. I was
very close to...
392
00:30:36,780 --> 00:30:39,400
You know, being fired from the WWE.
393
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:47,860
I realized I had to stop around and I
had to get my ass in the line.
394
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,340
I ended up going to rehab.
395
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,320
I cleaned myself up.
396
00:30:53,140 --> 00:30:54,840
And I got in the ring again.
397
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,740
After overcoming the demon of addiction,
Randy was still able to tap into that
398
00:31:01,740 --> 00:31:04,100
part of his personality that dragged him
into the darkness.
399
00:31:04,660 --> 00:31:05,660
In the ring.
400
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:12,260
Orton was more evil than ever. I think
he thought he had to be this person or
401
00:31:12,260 --> 00:31:17,780
this, you know, the viper and act a
certain way and kind of give off that
402
00:31:17,780 --> 00:31:21,060
like he got all his together. Nobody got
all this together.
403
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:28,660
In order to get into a character and
have a healthy relationship to that
404
00:31:28,660 --> 00:31:32,020
character, you have to manage that
character.
405
00:31:32,780 --> 00:31:37,680
You have to know who you are and what's
important to you so that the character
406
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,460
doesn't ultimately manage you.
407
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,700
I was narcissistic. I wasn't.
408
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:48,660
And I still have all those attributes
now.
409
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:58,480
Only I know that I have them. I'm aware
of them. I'm able
410
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,760
to use them at work for good.
411
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,740
I find that mindset. I know the story
and I go out there and I do my best to
412
00:32:05,740 --> 00:32:06,740
tell it.
413
00:32:09,940 --> 00:32:16,020
Back when we were doing the intermittent
explosive disorder storyline, that's a
414
00:32:16,020 --> 00:32:20,460
disorder that my character had, which
was basically throwing temper tantrums,
415
00:32:20,460 --> 00:32:22,840
violent temper tantrums at that.
416
00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:25,420
I had all this.
417
00:32:26,110 --> 00:32:30,450
All these experiences up here that I'd
kind of blocked out because they were
418
00:32:30,450 --> 00:32:33,010
experiences, because they were
embarrassing.
419
00:32:34,450 --> 00:32:40,070
But the more mature that I got in the
business, I was able to use those
420
00:32:40,070 --> 00:32:42,670
experiences and tie them into my
character.
421
00:32:46,010 --> 00:32:51,850
And I've learned
422
00:32:51,850 --> 00:32:55,530
there's no better drug in the world.
423
00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:01,260
than being in that ring and everything
going right.
424
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:12,160
I love this. And that feeling, there's
nothing like it. There's magic there.
425
00:33:18,220 --> 00:33:19,640
In December 2020,
426
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,200
Randy Orton proved there was no limit to
the level of evil that he was willing
427
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,020
to inflict upon his opponent.
428
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,460
The fiend is in the building.
429
00:33:29,780 --> 00:33:33,640
Is Orton truly prepared for what's about
to happen?
430
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:40,660
When I was wrestling the fiend, I knew
that I had to believe that this
431
00:33:40,660 --> 00:33:46,440
individual was capable of harnessing
evil, demonic powers.
432
00:33:49,710 --> 00:33:56,070
I considered him enough of a threat that
I was legitimately fearing the fiend.
433
00:33:59,330 --> 00:34:00,770
Randy's range is incredible.
434
00:34:01,210 --> 00:34:05,810
I mean, I think he can do anything he
wants. It's not him just being like
435
00:34:08,010 --> 00:34:11,870
He's smiling where you think, oh, he's
happy. He's a good guy. No, he's smiling
436
00:34:11,870 --> 00:34:13,710
because he's, like, destroyed somebody's
life.
437
00:34:14,610 --> 00:34:15,830
Turn it around.
438
00:34:17,030 --> 00:34:18,030
He's a player.
439
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,060
And that's why he's such a good bad guy,
because anybody can beat anybody up.
440
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:30,020
But how do you want them to feel about
you beating this person up?
441
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:39,040
Now it's the feed who is finding out how
sadistic and barbaric Randy Orton can
442
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,040
be.
443
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:46,620
This is not the same as going to the
movies. This isn't going to a play or a
444
00:34:46,620 --> 00:34:48,900
musical. It's something unique unto
itself.
445
00:34:49,659 --> 00:34:54,960
And when you go to a WWE show and you
watch a villain perform, even if you
446
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,560
the villain because they're so bad and
they're doing things that are so immoral
447
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:05,460
and wrong, if they do it in a way that's
captivating, there's sort of no way
448
00:35:05,460 --> 00:35:11,800
to stop yourself from pulling for that
person to a certain degree. You want
449
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:12,800
on your TV.
450
00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:17,360
If you get those people to believe that
you believe in yourself,
451
00:35:19,370 --> 00:35:23,490
The battle's won, and you're just there
to enjoy the spoils.
452
00:35:23,850 --> 00:35:24,850
Hello!
453
00:35:27,070 --> 00:35:28,410
My God!
454
00:35:36,870 --> 00:35:41,690
Randy Orton became one of the most
menacing and believable villains in WWE
455
00:35:41,690 --> 00:35:45,970
history by expressing his real -life
mistakes in pain.
456
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,800
and then taking it out on his opponents
in the ring.
457
00:35:55,780 --> 00:36:02,420
He's learned from his mistakes, and
458
00:36:02,420 --> 00:36:08,540
he's learned from other folks, and he
carries himself with glass, and, you
459
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,100
that stuff sinks in.
460
00:36:10,660 --> 00:36:14,340
You know, it's just a shame it doesn't
sink in when you're in your 20s.
461
00:36:16,010 --> 00:36:22,030
He had to walk around with that strut,
like, I'm that guy, and he doesn't do
462
00:36:22,030 --> 00:36:26,070
that anymore. You know, he's like, I'm
this guy, and take it or leave it.
463
00:36:33,770 --> 00:36:37,070
He's a bad guy, but he's also the guy
everybody loves.
464
00:36:37,650 --> 00:36:39,550
Kids, dads, moms.
465
00:36:43,310 --> 00:36:48,570
I'm getting to the point in my career
where I have done absolutely everything
466
00:36:48,570 --> 00:36:49,610
that there is to do.
467
00:36:52,930 --> 00:36:56,430
The only things that I haven't done are
things that they haven't invented yet.
468
00:36:56,630 --> 00:37:01,610
But sure, once they invent them, once
they come up with these new ideas, these
469
00:37:01,610 --> 00:37:03,990
new achievements, I will achieve them.
470
00:37:04,210 --> 00:37:07,550
And I will have done more than anybody
else in the history of this business,
471
00:37:07,550 --> 00:37:08,550
there's a reason for that.
472
00:37:09,510 --> 00:37:10,510
Consistency.
473
00:37:14,830 --> 00:37:18,950
He's head and shoulders above everyone,
I think. You know, not just in stature,
474
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:20,490
but in ability, too.
475
00:37:21,970 --> 00:37:26,270
There's some guys that are pretty gosh
darn good, but he's got it all.
476
00:37:27,270 --> 00:37:29,750
He's the whole package.
477
00:37:31,970 --> 00:37:36,610
I think Randy Orton, from day one,
everything about him, screamed the world
478
00:37:36,610 --> 00:37:37,610
champion.
479
00:37:38,010 --> 00:37:39,130
Randy was a god.
480
00:37:42,650 --> 00:37:46,050
And he didn't shy away from it. I think
he owned it, and I think in his head he
481
00:37:46,050 --> 00:37:46,769
is that guy.
482
00:37:46,770 --> 00:37:47,890
But he really is.
483
00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:51,550
If you could get past his outbursts.
484
00:37:53,030 --> 00:37:59,690
The audience appreciates Randy Orton
more and more every single day.
485
00:37:59,830 --> 00:38:02,370
As evil as Randy can be.
486
00:38:03,390 --> 00:38:09,010
Randy is so talented that no matter what
you do, the audience will always
487
00:38:09,010 --> 00:38:10,930
appreciate how evil he is.
488
00:38:24,859 --> 00:38:25,859
Randy Orton.
489
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,680
Randy Orton is the coolest.
490
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,980
See, I got the best view because I'm on
the scooter and I kind of trail behind
491
00:38:38,980 --> 00:38:44,580
him. He'll just look at a crowd and I'm
like, Randy, you know.
492
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,780
I have to work a little harder. I'm
like, yeah.
493
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,040
You know, Randy's just.
494
00:38:51,370 --> 00:38:54,790
Kind of gives them, like, the Zoolander,
Magman face.
495
00:38:55,570 --> 00:39:00,410
Here are your winners, the key mob,
Randy Orton and Riddle.
496
00:39:01,370 --> 00:39:05,910
I think a lot of people forget that when
you're dedicating yourself, your life,
497
00:39:06,070 --> 00:39:12,990
your years, your youth, it takes a
lifetime to become the legend killer.
498
00:39:12,990 --> 00:39:17,490
that's what Randy is. He's the apex
predator, the viper, the legend killer.
499
00:39:21,710 --> 00:39:23,310
He's Randy Orton, bro.
500
00:39:26,630 --> 00:39:31,850
My entrance song, it's voices. And
people will ask me, you know, what do
501
00:39:31,850 --> 00:39:35,730
voices tell you? I just kind of roll my
eyes because, you know, it's an entrance
502
00:39:35,730 --> 00:39:36,730
song, right?
503
00:39:37,430 --> 00:39:43,530
I've had this song for over a decade.
And the more I hear it, the more it kind
504
00:39:43,530 --> 00:39:49,430
of dawns on me that maybe I was hearing
voices. Maybe those voices early on.
505
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,060
were telling me I wasn't good enough.
506
00:39:53,820 --> 00:39:55,540
And I'm talking when I was a kid.
507
00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:01,340
Those voices early on were telling me
that I didn't have any reason to be
508
00:40:01,340 --> 00:40:02,340
confident.
509
00:40:02,540 --> 00:40:07,080
Those voices were telling me that I
could never, ever follow in my father's
510
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:11,620
footsteps. Those voices were my own self
-doubt. Those voices were the
511
00:40:11,620 --> 00:40:14,560
naysayers. Those voices were me doubting
myself.
512
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,780
Now, I feel
513
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:22,260
If someone were to ask me, what are the
voices telling you?
514
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:27,000
I think the answer would be that I'm
content.
515
00:40:29,700 --> 00:40:32,480
That I'm happy with who I am.
516
00:40:33,780 --> 00:40:39,220
Not as the performer or the entertainer
or the character, Randy Orton, but as
517
00:40:39,220 --> 00:40:43,620
Randy Orton, he's happy.
