The Legend Killer: Randy Orton -
Part 1
There are few superstars in the history, who managed to get the hype from WWE Universe and all over the world due to their tremendous moves during their careers. The Viper is one of those marvellous performers.
As the WWE Universe knows The Viper listens only the voices in his head, so there is no warrior in the locker room, who feud with The Apex Predator and did not get RKO’d. The Legend Killer started his WWE career in April 25, 2002. After the debut of The
Viper, every superstar’s peace of mind was taken away as The Viper was there after each and every WWE superstars. During his flight with WWE, there was no WWE superstar with which the Viper had not feuded.
The first fight of The Viper was set against Hardcore Holly in the SmackDown brand and Holly became the first ever rival of The Legend Killer. In the Raw brand, The Viper fought against Stevie Richards in September 2002 and defeated him. The Viper participated
in his first pay-per-view event, SummerSlam in 2003 and fought in an Elimination Chamber match that was conducted between six wrestlers including Triple H and Goldberg.
Getting more poise from that fight, The Viper started fighting against the legends of the WWE roster. He started challenging most famed and powerful WWE superstars. The rivalries against Shawn Michael, The Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena are some of the
worst rivalries of The Viper.
In 2004, The Viper introduced his worst signature move RKO a jumping cutter associated with his name Randal Keith Orton. The first title grabbed by The Apex Predator was The WWE Intercontinental Championship which he captured against Rob Van Dam. The Viper
defended his championship for seven months.
The Championship was taken by the Rated-R Superstar Edge in July 2004 that broke Orton’s longest reign. Afterwards, The Viper acquired the title shot for the World Heavyweight Championship after winning the 20-Man Battle Royal in the same month. The Viper
cashed his opportunity at SummerSlam against Chris Benoit and became the youngest superstar in WWE history ever to have won the World title.
The Animal, Batista and Ric Fair attacked The Viper that created the new rivalry for the Viper. The Game Triple H also demanded the World title and ordered The Viper to hand him the World title. The Viper did not hand him title but spitted on his face. It
caused the storyline between The Game and The Viper. Later on, Triple H won the World Championship at WWE’s pay-per-view event Unforgiven. The Game continuously defeated The Viper and defended his title in many pay-per-events.
In 2006, The Viper started the biggest rivalry of his life against the most powerful superstar of WWE, The Undertaker and challenged him that he would break his Undefeated WrestleMania Streak. The Viper started taunting Undertaker and the people who interfered
between him and Undertaker. Jake Roberts was one of them, who interfered The Viper during his rivalry against Undertaker and he was treated with an RKO. The Viper fought in the main event match against Undertaker at WrestleMania XXI, but could not break the
Undefeated WrestleMania Streak of The Deadman. The match between Undertaker and Orton was heavily hyped.
