Randy Orton Explains How 20 Years Of RKOs Have Taken Their Toll

It happens to everyone. There are so many wrestlers in WWE today and some of them have been around for a very long time. You get to see some of these wrestlers for years and years, to the point where you might forget just how long they have been around. Those years ago going to add up, and now one of the more legendary wrestlers has started to feel some of the damage.

Monday Night Raw’s Randy Orton was recently interviewed by FOX 2 Now in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. During the interview, Orton spoke about how his body is starting to feel the thousands of RKO’s he has delivered over the years. Orton said that he wished he had invented a signature move that did not involve jumping as high as he could have and landing on his back. Now 41 years old, Orton is now currently scheduled for the Royal Rumble, though he could still be added to the show.

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that is going to happen over the years and that is not the best thing to hear. Ultimately, Orton is still one of the most successful stars in the history of WWE but like any other wrestler, eventually he is going to start to break down. Odds are he is closer to the end of his career than the beginning, and this might be one of the reasons that starts causing his time in the ring to wind down.
