• Wrestling Veteran Celebrates His Birthday
Wrestling Veteran ‘The Legend Killer’ Randy Orton celebrates his birthday today.
The son of Old School WWF Legend “Cowboy” Bob Orton Jr. and grandson of Bob Orton Sr. went through the WWF developmental system at Ohio Valley Wrestling in Louisville, Kentucky, before he debuted for the World Wrestling Federation in 2002.
Towards the end of that year, Randy Orton joined “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair & “The Game” Triple H to form the famous faction Evolution, with “The Animal” Batista joining in early 2003.
Randy has been a main event caliber WWE Superstar in the (now renamed) WWE ever since and will one day, after he’s retired, be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RANDY ORTON!
