Le dernier numéro de Pro Wrestling Illustrated comporte un article sur l'habitude de fumer de Randy Orton. L'article dit notemment qu'il pourrait avoir une meilleure endurance sur les rings si il arrêtait la cigarette.
Citation:
“He’s always had an impressive physique but only recently got serious about doing more intensive cardiovascular training. Quitting smoking could also help to improve his stamina.”
L'article note aussi son comportement colérique (comme casser des chambres d'hôtel entre autres) et le fait qu'il faudra surement un certain temps avant que la WWE ait à nouveau pleinement confiance en lui.
Citation:
“Orton is going to have to stay on the straight and narrow outside the ring for a lengthy period of time before he can be fully trusted as someone WWE can rely upon to be one of its centerpiece talents. Fairly or unfairly, there are those who wonder if he’s capable of abiding by WWE’s behavioral expectations for the long haul. To his credit, Orton has acknowledged that he’s brought those doubts on himself — a hopeful sign that he’s finally ready to reserve his bad boy persona for the ring.”
