Why has he never delivered a 4.75 match? Even Cena has a 5 star match and a couple of 4.75 matches to his name
Because he's not actually very good.

He sucks

Who decides the rating? some autistic japanese wrestling mark? Kek
He started to young and lost his passion very quickly. he was so good when he was young because of the steroids and cocaine he was taking
he legit OD'd when he was younger

Ric Flair has 6 5 star matches and has nothing to do with Japan.
Stop being so upset, E-drone

Because he's not given the right booking or opponent. Meltzer doesn't only give ratings purely from in-ring quality. The crowds, the storyline, the company etc. are all taken into account.
Because the same retards that think Orton is better than average are the same faggots who believe the age old lie that "Russo was good with a filter"
Basically they're worked
>>2917715
your father Meltzer believes Orton is a good wrestler though.

>he started too young
Luchadors start when they are teens and keep putting on classics well into their 50s
His only interesting opponents were Foley, Christian, and Punk.

He's the definition of average.
Him vs Foley at Backlash 2004?

Y'know, I get where Dave comes from when he thinks Orton is a good wrestler, I understand what he means, how he thinks the guy is extremely crisp, technically sound, has great timing, emoting, selling, all that stuff.
But I'm sorry, he's fuckin' wrong on this one. Orton's a lazy fucker and he hasn't been good in years and this run that's been going for about a year now has fucking sucked. He was good when he teamed up with Bray. That's it.
Is there anyone that can carry him to a five star match?
VS foley
VS christian
VS jinder

He had a very good TV match with AJ, so maybe AJ.
Orton has always been above average at best. He was great for his age, but he never got better. To his credit, though. He's an incredibly safe wrestler and he's got a great look so I can see why he's always in high profile feuds. He's able to do moves that lol good without hurting people.
>>2917901
none of those were rated 4.75 you orton cuck
>>2917730
Difference is luchadors usually don't get the world heavyweight title of the biggest promotion in the world when they're not even 25
>>2917657
one of those matches with based Christian probably came close
Orton is great but his style isn't conducive to having 5 star meme matches. He doesn't flip or oversell or do stupid moves. He's the cool and calculated viper, which can sometimes be perceived as boring, but really its marks being worked.

Hi young cucks
Why are people so obsessed with ratings of fake fighting?

Randy is a ring general and generally a good worker when he's motivated and working with the right people, but that's once in a blue moon. He has the prototypical look of a main eventer and that's usually enough to disguise the fact that his moveset is actually really slow and bland.
Randy doesn't give a shit about stars or ring-psychology. He just wants to finish the match in one piece and get paid.
