Randy admitting to nepotism is awesome 😅 his Dad got him there but Randy kept himself there. Legend!! Cheers from New Zealand 🍻

[@SmackdownsRKO2024-xk9ew]

Congrats to WWE HOF Superstar Cowboy Bob Orton on his Induction for St. Louis Wrestling HOF. Well deserved 👏 and glad to see Randy at his best since his Smackdown comeback. Hope he wins the 2024 KOTR Tournament and adds that to his legendary resume, also hope he wins the new WWE Tag Team Championships with Kevin Owens when he returns. Go RKO 👍

I saw Cowboy Bob Orton wrestling at QE 2 Christchurch NewZealand. The Main event was Haku VS Don the Rock Morocco. At the time I knew the Cowboy had been in the wwf and was involved in the main event in wrestle mania 1 .I didn't know much of the card but I knew this guy had been a top performer and he was talking to people in the crowd

[@user-wm1wr5ro9x]

Yes!

[@sjdhgydhfyrn1023]

14 world title reigns, right behind Flair and Cena.
If Orton was better on the mic, he'd be talked about more as one of the GOATs.
His finisher pretty much is the GOAT, after HBK anyway.

[@holdenwilde2193]

Lol 🤣 idk about that a lot of people call him one of the greatest

[@SonuKhan-ot5tp]

His finisher much better than hbk finisher he also got great Mic skills

[@SonuKhan-ot5tp]

​@@holdenwilde2193yes he is

[@erikcox8749]

Randy is the man, him n Cody right now when either music hits I'm all in. ✌️💙

[@AllanAdamson]

My one doctor told me to quit my corporate job so it's not like super strange for them to suggest this type of thing if they think because they swear to the oath so they really do believe that's what's right for you they're supposed to tell you

[@TigerKing77]

If your not rolling....are you tripping😂

[@jimpikoulis6726]

Randy, did you RKO the doctors after being told to retire 😅😅😅😅

[@420Yako]

I was forced to retire but Jesus says differently. Chrinic pain IS NOT worth any $. I hope Orton finds peace

[@xdlikadam2101]

ORTON THE GOD AND BEST ❤
