Bully Ray was a huge fan of the promo that Randy Orton delivered on WWE Raw, naming it as Orton’s best promo ever. Orton confronted Cody Rhodes on last night’s show and cut a promo promoting their Last Man Standing match at WWE Crown Jewel. The promo saw Orton talk about how, while everyone else has moved on, he is still there and isn’t trying to be a “movie star” unlike Rhodes, Roman Reigns and more.
Bully praised the promo on the latest Busted Open Radio episode, calling it the most memorable that Orton has delivered. You can see highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):
on the Promo:
“The best promo I’ve ever heard Randy Orton cut in his entire career. Three minutes, short, sweet, to the point. Get in, get on, get off, get out. It made all the sense in the world. I’ll be damned if that promo didn’t land blow after blow after blow, starting with ‘You’ve been in zero Last Man Standing Matches.’ If I didn’t know that, now I do, and I’m going ‘Whoa!'”
On What He Loved About the Promo:
“After all of that, the thing that I love the most about Randy’s promo: ‘Everybody else that came before me wants to be a movie star, including you, Cody. I don’t want to be a movie star, because I’m a professional wrestler.'”
On How Memorable the Promo Is:
“I can’t think of anything that Randy Orton has said in the past that will be as memorable as that promo. I remember things that Randy has done, like kicking veterans like Dusty Rhodes in the head. I remember Randy being a part of the tag team with [Matt] Riddle. I remember certain things he has done in his career, certain championships he’s won, being a part of Evolution, all that stuff. If you ask me, put a gun to my head and say, ‘Tell me one of Randy Orton’s most memorable promos,’ I’d tell you to pull the trigger because I don’t have an answer. After last night, I have an answer. Last night was the promo of Randy Orton’s career.”
