Fun fact- Ted Dibiase was actually supposed to turn face in the Legacy split. But the crowd was cheering Randy Orton so Vince just decided to run with Orton as a face. Ended up working out. There was a point in time where he was easily the most over on the roster in 2010.
I still say this to this day Randy Orton run from 2009-2011 was peak Randy. Dude was a menace in 2009 punting Hunter, Vince, Shane, breaking Dave's arm, beating Kofi, and multiple 3 WWE title runs. But 2010 & 2011 was something dude was number 2 behind Cena he was super over. He helped get Christian & Mark over as top guys.
@@kingwokester7324 Naw everyone getting into the main event needs a good dance partner. Randy was an established main eventer but Christian took Randy's in ring to another level that's way I say in ring 2011 is Randy best year beside 2009 & 2013. Randy & Christian is like BP&J both are good on their own but great together.
I disagree with Orton being number 2 behind Cena. He was even more popular than John during that period. Cena's boy scout character was just more PG and thus was given more opportunities.
@@sajanaryal6932 thats somewhat true Randy was number 2 behind John during those years yes Randy was more over than John but John was still seen as the top guy from a worldwide and company standpoint. That's like Austin & Rock in 2000 you can make a good argument for Rocky being #1 and it's all valid points but the company main guy was Austin imo. In terms of the PG era John did change he's character but when think of that era Randy couldn't have carried WWE through that era like John did ratings were low due to Rock & Austin leaving after 2003, Brock being done with wrestling, and just a change in the world and the company overall they needed to catered more towards families and kids. Was most of Johns stuff cringe during that time yes but it worked because now they are an international company.
Randy Orton was something else during this run. It wasn't his best as a talent but he was so damn popular, the most popular on the roster. He brought a sense of unpredictability that not many could and definitely deserved to have that face run. What did you think of Randy Orton's face turn?
With Orton and popularity I feel like post evolution he's always been popular just in different ways. The Legend Killer stuff got him popular for the fans to boo. Then there's his 2010s face run where he's popular and the arena basically explodes when the RKO is hit or being set up. Outside of his pre evolution career there really hasn't been a time where fans wonder who is this and have 0 reaction. Now with Orton he's either a face or heel yet when that RKO hits no matter if he's a face or heel fans will cheer for it. Gosh I'm so excited for the fans reaction to his first RKO back
I think Orton's best year as a face was in 2011. He was super over and the arena would basically erupt on a regular basis every time Orton made an appearance or went for the RKO or even the punt. Apart from CM Punk for a couple months (summer), no one was getting the level of reaction Orton was that year, not even Cena. His best moment in 2011 was basically the entire year of 2011 as he did everything right by feuding with the likes of Miz, Punk, Christian, Henry, Cody and Barrett.
If it wasn’t for him turning face smackdown from 2010-2013 would’ve been even harder to watch, Orton feuds with Barrett, and Christian are hella underrated
Randy Orton is one of the greatest heels in history but man he was able to do such good baby face runs as well. Probably because it’s hard not to like Randy orton. He’s just so damn good at what he does
It’s crazy cause that face turn literally made u wonder “Is he still a heel or are we really cheering for this guy” u couldn’t tell because that’s how Randy carried himself outside and on TV and the way he was moving throughout that face turn I can’t even describe it was like he was a Thief in the Night but in a loving way
10:15 that’s exactly why I felt like he was a thief in the night that whole face turn and he was the viper (so he’s a snake iykyk) which meant he got some heel traits but we still loved the way he was carrying himself at that time
thanks for speaking about this, he did face so well without making it cringe! he can do heel and face very well! also loved his physique around this time
Even when orton was a heel I cheered him on over everyone not named Jeff hardy, Rey mysterio, or Shawn Michaels when I was a kid he’s one of the greatest of all time and became my favorite later in life
It's way easier to be a heel than to be a babyface. In my opinion only Drew McIntyre, Edge, John Cena, and Cody Rhodes had been very successful as a babyface this past years (maybe Sami Zayn in the future but not as over as Bryan Danielson or Kofi-mania)
When Randy Orton turned face, it's like he a new lease of life because at the start of the year he was going through this limbo as a heel after the whole Kofi Kingston feud which ended in STUPID fashion. So yeah when he turned, it's like Orton got a new energy somehow
For what it was worth, I really enjoyed Randy Orton's face run during this time period. He was receiving loud reactions from the fans, at the same time doing what he does best (hitting RKOs on everyone). One of, if not the biggest highlights of this run was the RKO he hit on Evan Bourne. This face run far supercedes the one he had in 2004-05.
I've been rewatching 2009 - 2013 wrestling just to relive some of my favorite moments and literally watched Randy go ballistic with the silent killer anti hero shtick and it was amazing
Honestly, Randy's face run was absolutely good. He was well over with the fans even more than Cena. He was clearly the most liked babyface at the time. He had quite a decent title run in 2010, which sadly ended back in that one match where he faced Wade Barrett, but before that he was injured by the Nexus. Orton still managed to give a good match and won, but Miz had to cash in and ruin what was clearly a great moment for Orton, which turned out to be bittersweet.
Crazy how Orton turned face after 5 years of being a 6-star menace The face turn was for Rhodes and DiBiase if I'm not mistaken. After all, they didn't get anything from being with Orton. They were simply known for being henchmen to Orton
I cheered for Randy when he was still in Evolution and despite being a heel I love every moment of it. The moment that cemented that Randy was the best heel for me was when he kissed Stephanie while triple H was cuffed that was so insane an I was sitting on my couch just stood up and yelled out of enjoyment. I was a weired kid but till to this day Randy is still my favorite
Crazy to think back then i never thought I would think a face Orton would work especially trying it in 2004… so my surprise when around 2010-2012 i was rooting for Orton 😂😂😂
Randy Orton was so over with the fans that his face turn was inevitable. He had some really good feuds and despite him playing 3rd wheel with the Nexus John Cena feud he made sure he was relevant. Made sense he had to drop the title to the Miz since Miz was on a roll himself.
SvR 2010 predicted Legacy’s downfall…except that it features their dads getting RKOed, a World title match at the main event of WrestleMania which became a lumberjack match
Dude was hella over!!!! In 2010 i was shocked because the dude was such a sick heel then he just became organically loved by the fans and he is a better heel but damn bro this really makes me ORTON! Get well viper!!!! 💯💯💯
Randy Orton is one of those wrestlers where it doesn't matter if he's a face or a heel people are gonna cheer when he hits his finisher in Orton's case the RKO. I honestly enjoyed this run however I'll admit Orton as a face isn't better than Orton as a heel considering how Orton's RKO always gets cheered no matter if he's a face or a heel where nowadays he doesn't get major boos from the fans like he did mid 2000s. If Orton were to turn heel on Riddle which honestly Riddle shod turn on Randy then no matter who gets RKO'ed fans will cheer
2010 Orton was the complete package. His character felt so real and authentic. He was a face but he still had heel tendencies and he wasn’t afraid of nobody either. I felt like 2010 Orton was overlooked. I personally think that was the best version of Orton in his whole career. I wish they would’ve kept his character this way it seem like after 2011 his character as a baby face got corny.
Summer of Punk was way better then this Respectfully that Edge and Orton feud people weren’t really that intrigued but the Summer of Punk when he faced John Cena,then Alberto,then triple h etc Punk was on one
He was cheered even over Cena. That night after WrestleMania 26 was absolutely electric. 14:35 I ❤️ that tables match. Just incredible. Especially how chaotic the ending turned out to be.
I say it was the match right after wrestlemania where cena chose him for his tag partner against swagger and Batista. Randy stole the show with his face turn.
Ok, I won't that was the funniest plug for an advertisement I've heard in a while. The idea of it so good. I wish Ted and Cody would have argued over why they lost and then Orton comes in and says "You guys lost because you don't have Surfshark VPN. Don't know what that is wait about a decade and you'll understand why."
Randy was so over at this time , he was getting big pops before turning face for a little bit , then when he turned on Legacy people say Ted & Cody were supposed to be babyface which Cody leading up to it really seemed it , but it could’ve gone both ways , Randy would’ve benefited either way.
Randy Orton was so much fun here and it really shows why he really is the GOAT, no matter if he’s heel or face. Although we fans definitely prefer this man as a heel, when done right, he can also be a fantastic babyface.👍
Not really Cena was the best babyface of all time if not one of randy turned face to help with the Cena and nexus fued randy is great but Cena the goat
@Tre Williams Stone Cold was the best face of all time...not once during his initial run as a face was he booed, unlike Cena who had a split reaction a majority of his career.
When you said that Randy Orton turned face in 2010, that means that he turned face for the first time since 2005. He's been that massive heel wrestler run from 2005 to 2009 which was 5 years later. It's been 5 years longer for WWE getting Randy Orton a push as a face wrestler. The WWE fans always get tired and hating on him when he was a massive heel wrestler in the 2000s but now they started liking him and cheering him as a face wrestler in the 2010s. I always used to hate him but I started liking him as a face wrestler as well.
I saw some dude on reddit like 10 yrs ago who made a post undermining Orton's popularity during this time period aside from Cena which was a no-brainer he was clearly the most popular wrestler for over a year until Punk overtook him during the summer of 2011
Mandy was pure menace throughout his career. I believe he had the single best career ever in wwe. Yeah stone cold had the best iconic moments but as far as longevity I think orton truly had the best.
@@wrestlingspremier people say Orton was more over then John Cena lol 😂more over then Cena not even close the only reason randy turned face was because of the nexus vs John Cena story was everything in 2010 so randy needed to turn face to help John Cena
this was a bit of a turnout because this is also when he started the craze out RKOS LOLLL. even though i prefer heel orton and bald psychotic serial killer look is my favorite.. i'll still dig when he started this nice run as a face.
@@KRob10 dude No it was the year of John cena your delusional Cena was the face for a decade he was always the number one face orton had to much anger issues and problem he was never the guy yeah he had a moment in 2010 but Cena was on a tear that year
@@trewilliams8411 You're a delusional Cena fan...2010 was in fact the year of Orton. In fact, despite WWE tryna push Cena as no.1...their was other years during Cena's run as the top face that other faces did better numbers than him and was the more popular face. 2005 was the year of Batista, 2009 was the year of Jeff Hardy, 2011 was the year of CM Punk and 2014 was the year of Daniel Bryan.
@@KRob10 dude WWE wasn’t trying to push Cena john Cena was already on top randy orton was trying to be a wannabe John Cena with his face run Cena was the ultimate babyface and main eventer that year in 2010 you hater
Damn, this was just before that 1000x times feud with john cena.. Forget randy Orton has this face run (thats how much that orton vs cena feud) whitewashed some of his smaller but yet memorable run in Randy's wrestling legacy..
I was at NOC 2010 in Chicago. I was 9 years old, so cool to see it stayed somewhat relevant over 10 years later and hasn’t been completely forgotten. One of the coolest experiences of my childhood. I got to see fuckin kane vs the undertaker for the world championship! Daniel Bryan won his first championship and Cody Rhodes and drew McIntyre won the tag championships and they both went on to become future wwe world champions (my prediction for Cody beating Roman at this years Mania)
12:45 and this is the heel traits that I was saying from randy orton despite him being a face like cmon u got screwed I understand so u RKO shamus on the announcement table looks like something a face would do if u ask me same thing with the Justin Gabriel match sheamus interferes he got counted out and loss so what he do put a all out assault on Justin and Sheamus 😭😭😭 this face turn will never be replicated u had to be real angry to do the stuff randy did as a face but again he’s the viper so he still got some of those heel traits in him
When your baby face Randy Orton was the good baby face I liked where The Miz casting is money in a bank contract to become WWE champion and his run that's all I remember remember edge vs Randy Orton because Randy Orton and edge I just remember when you're in that's all I remember from this run over my favourite match is edge vs Randy Orton probably I remember that's all from baby face run

It's a Shame that Randy's First World Title win can't be mentioned now. His match with benoit was a great.

Fun Fact: The RKO towards Evan Bourne is Orton's favorite along with the one towards Rollins at WM31 via a tweet towards a fan
I definitely think that this was much better than his 2004-05 face run. He just seemed more comfortable.
It's weird how Edge and Randy Orton one of WWE's two top heels turned face in 2010.

From the most hated and despised wrestler in 2009 to the most beloved in 2010, This in my mind was the peak of Randy Orton ❤️
One thing I liked about it was he wasn’t ur typical babyface he was still the Randy Orton we know and love as a babyface

I worked on it for about a week, it would've came out on Saturday but it wasn't finished yet
@@wrestlingspremier regardless, what timing.
Please do the return of the undertaker’s American badass in judgment day 2000.
@@wrestlingspremier people say Orton was more over then John Cena lol 😂more over then Cena not even close the only reason randy turned face was because of the nexus vs John Cena story was everything in 2010 so randy needed to turn face to help John Cena
Voices in my head
Orton turned face for the first time since 2005.
this was a bit of a turnout because this is also when he started the craze out RKOS LOLLL. even though i prefer heel orton and bald psychotic serial killer look is my favorite.. i'll still dig when he started this nice run as a face.
I feel the only reason randy turned face was because of the nexus vs John Cena story was everything so randy needed to turn face to help John Cena
2010 was the year of Orton
No John Cena
@@trewilliams8411 2010 was indeed the year of Orton...he was more over and more popular than Cena that year. Orton was the no.1 face that year
@@KRob10 dude No it was the year of John cena your delusional Cena was the face for a decade he was always the number one face orton had to much anger issues and problem he was never the guy yeah he had a moment in 2010 but Cena was on a tear that year
@@trewilliams8411 You're a delusional Cena fan...2010 was in fact the year of Orton. In fact, despite WWE tryna push Cena as no.1...their was other years during Cena's run as the top face that other faces did better numbers than him and was the more popular face. 2005 was the year of Batista, 2009 was the year of Jeff Hardy, 2011 was the year of CM Punk and 2014 was the year of Daniel Bryan.
@@KRob10 dude WWE wasn’t trying to push Cena john Cena was already on top randy orton was trying to be a wannabe John Cena with his face run Cena was the ultimate babyface and main eventer that year in 2010 you hater
I hope he gets one last big run
Orton was one of those guys who never felt right as a face to me. Hes a natural heel
1k likes congrats!
If only Ted and Cody had surf shark 😂
THE VIPER 🐍
RANDYORTON
He 2011 babyface is good epic
Dammmmm does Orton T-shirts🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was actually at dat years survivor series in miami
Damn, this was just before that 1000x times feud with john cena.. Forget randy Orton has this face run (thats how much that orton vs cena feud) whitewashed some of his smaller but yet memorable run in Randy's wrestling legacy..
Can you do a vid "is randy orton a better face or a better heel" (we all know the answer, but I wanna see the vid) and can you do wcw 2000
I didn’t know chad Johnson was on raw wow 😂😂😂
Face turns.
Heels crush.
RK-AD OUTTA NO WHERE!!!
I was at NOC 2010 in Chicago. I was 9 years old, so cool to see it stayed somewhat relevant over 10 years later and hasn’t been completely forgotten. One of the coolest experiences of my childhood. I got to see fuckin kane vs the undertaker for the world championship! Daniel Bryan won his first championship and Cody Rhodes and drew McIntyre won the tag championships and they both went on to become future wwe world champions (my prediction for Cody beating Roman at this years Mania)
I sure like to suggest a video on Chuck Palumbo
2009 bald orton will always be no 1 heel for me i remember hating him so much passionately
Please do the return of the undertaker’s American badass in judgment day 2000.
Randy Orton’s 2 month babyface run from 2019 to 2020 was completely useless, I can’t lie. They should’ve just kept him as a heel during that time
i don't think he is a bad face but he is still better at being heel
Wait, do you mean to tell me THAT RKO wasn’t even in a match??
Do a Briscoe brothers video
2011 was my first year watching wrestling and Orton was my favorite wrestler because my parents wouldn’t let me watch RAW😂😂😂
12:45 and this is the heel traits that I was saying from randy orton despite him being a face like cmon u got screwed I understand so u RKO shamus on the announcement table looks like something a face would do if u ask me same thing with the Justin Gabriel match sheamus interferes he got counted out and loss so what he do put a all out assault on Justin and Sheamus 😭😭😭 this face turn will never be replicated u had to be real angry to do the stuff randy did as a face but again he’s the viper so he still got some of those heel traits in him
I still think Barrett should've went over at this time
When your baby face Randy Orton was the good baby face I liked where The Miz casting is money in a bank contract to become WWE champion and his run that's all I remember remember edge vs Randy Orton because Randy Orton and edge I just remember when you're in that's all I remember from this run over my favourite match is edge vs Randy Orton probably I remember that's all from baby face run
enjoyed this video
Have you thought of doing a video on the anonymous general manager?
Wade barrett made more sense to be the heel champion more then shamus
Lol about rush hour. All three movies are on hbo max. So are all the fridays
