I was going to make a wisecrack about how he hurt his back carrying Barrett, but then I realized it was probably the other way around - so never mind. ^o)

I read somewhere he had failed his 3rd test, but the story was quickly taken down and replaced by this one.


Barrett is way better than Orton btw.

It's always bad to hear about an injury, even though it's Boreton.

Well, if you look at the bright side, we won't see another Orton win at Wrestlemania. We definitely need something fresh.

Orton failing his third test was false. On the contrary, it was the test that revealed his injury. Similar to when they found MVP had the heart condition a few years back.

Which is funny, because Orton (like MVP) has always been critical of the Wellness Policy.

I'm a fan of Barrett, and I hope they use this to give him some momentum.

Orton has bored me for years. Did anyone see his finish at TLC? When he started laughing to himself I could tell that he was quite proud that once again he took everyone by surprise by using that RKO "when we least expected it".

The only people who DIDN'T see that coming were not even watching the PPV.

Those of us who didn't see the pay-per-veiw saw it coming before it was announced to be a tables match.

I'm pretty sure I heard the blind guy in the fifth row call it just before it happened. Kind of a buzz kill, but what can you do? :mock:
