Randy Orton hits back at fans

WWE Superstar Randy Orton has hit back at fans who want the matches to go on for long despite the Superstars doing all their moves in their arsenal. The Viper claims that it is putting the longevity of a Superstar's career at risk and is not something he would recommend.

The former WWE World Champion was also quick to point out that it is something that separates the main roster guys from the ones in WWE NXT. He adds that the WWE NXT stars are hungry for 'fight forever' chants because they are young but need to understand why it is not the only thing that is needed in a match. Talking Sports Illustrated, Orton said:

“I can’t stand when I see 10 false finishes in a row, where a guy takes a powerbomb and then he’s up and then he’s delivering a knee, and then the other guy ducks, and then it’s boom, boom, boom, boom. It’s too much. But because these guys are capable of doing it, because the fans are going to chant ‘Fight For-Ev-Er!’ and all that cr#p, they’re going to keep doing it because they think that’s what they’ve got to do to get that reaction.

But sometimes the fans don’t need to make noise to be reacting. Sometimes they’re sitting and they’re watching with their mouths open, not saying a word, and they’re invested and paying attention. They want to see what you’re going to do or say next. That’s the disconnect between a lot of the main roster guys and the younger guys in NXT. They’re just hungry, they’re addicted to that chant from the crowd. They want the roof to come off the top of that building every single spot that they do.''
