“I Forgot How Good You Are”: Randy Orton Shares Why He Always Says This Phrase to Former WWE Champion

Randy Orton added one more milestone to his list a few days ago by completing 20 years in WWE. The Legend Killer debuted in 2002 and since then he has grown strong and an integral part of WWE.

Orton, over the years, faced various talents. He was able to put some of them over and, at times, also failed in doing so. However, The Apex Predator has always appreciated young talents who have become big in WWE.

Recently, WWE shared a video of Randy Orton recalling the moments of his 20-year career in WWE. One of the memorable moments was Randy Orton hitting a mid-air RKO on Seth Rollins. That RKO is one of his personal favorites and we also saw him appreciating Rollins.

Orton said, “Seth Rollins is in my opinion is one of the best competitors/performers/professional wrestlers of this generation. And I think it’s apparent if you watch the matches he’s had with the likes of Dolph Ziggler and Roman Reigns and I’ve had a couple of good ones with him too. I always tell Seth too, ‘God you are good. I forgot how good you are’. 

Randy Orton is not the first person to compliment Rollins over his in-ring ethics. The Visionary is considered as an absolute perfection while delivering a match. Orton has faced multiple times while their feud in 2014-15 and since then The Legend Killer appreciated Rollins.

Randy Orton forgot to pin Seth Rollins for a moment

The Apex Predator and The Architect faced each other at WrestleMania 31. The match was already giving an adrenaline dose to the fans in the arena. Moreover, one specific spot made the match memorable, which was the mid-air RKO to Seth Rollins by Orton. That RKO made Orton so excited that he, for a moment, forgot to pin Rollins. 

Orton said, “This match at WrestleMania just goes to show his timing is impeccable and when it came to that RKO, that’s one of the top RKOs that I’ve ever done. And you can see after I connected with him I almost forgot to cover him 1-2-3, because I was so pumped up, ‘Man what I’m doing?’”

Randy Orton has connected with over a thousand of RKOs in his career by now. Perhaps the WrestleMania RKO will be the best one with the RKO Orton connected to Evan Bourne on a RAW episode.
