Randy Orton is considered by many to be one of the greatest wrestlers in WWE history. In an exclusive interview, Primo Colon gave his reaction to Nic Nemeth comparing him to Orton from an in-ring perspective.
Nemeth, formerly known as Dolph Ziggler in WWE, said in January that Colon's impressive wrestling ability almost feels like a "secret" in the industry. The two-time World Heavyweight Champion also claimed his former co-worker is "very similar to Randy Orton."
Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta, Colon only had positive things to say about Nemeth's kind words:
"I cannot deny what he says. I give him a lot of credit for what he says. I'm not gonna call him a liar, if you will! To say I'm as good as Randy Orton, that's definitely a compliment, and I'll take it to the bank, but I got a lot of respect for Dolph Ziggler." [3:33 – 3:50]
In the video above, Primo Colon also addressed whether he could return to WWE as an LWO member alongside his brother Carlito.
Primo Colon views Randy Orton comparison as a "tremendous compliment"
In 2020, Primo Colon left WWE after 13 years with the company. He now works for his father Carlos Colon's Puerto Rican promotion, World Wrestling Council (WWC), as a wrestler and backstage administrator.
Colon elaborated on why being compared to someone of Randy Orton's caliber means so much to him:
"He's [Nic Nemeth] one of the few people that can say he's been around in WWE as long as I have. I think he has me beat by about two or three years, so I got a lot of respect for him. I consider him a friend, so for him to give me that credit, it means a lot coming from him and mentioning to the world. It means a lot to me, so I appreciate the compliment because that's all I take it as. A tremendous compliment." [3:54 – 4:15]
Moving forward, Primo Colon will face Ray Gonzalez on March 9 at WWC's La Hora de la Verdad event. Randy Orton, meanwhile, looks set to go one-on-one with Logan Paul at WrestleMania XL on April 6-7.
