Randy Orton: I’ll Never Hit A Guy With Three RKOs To Pin Him, I’m Not Going To Dilute My Finish
Randy Orton isn’t going to dilute his finisher.
When it comes to protected moves, the RKO is up there with other finishers like Bianca Belair’s K.O.D and Kenny Omega’s One Winged Angel. Speaking with The Schmo for an interview that was conducted before WrestleMania 42, Randy Orton credited Vince McMahon for making sure that the move was protected from the very start.
“It’s funny because that RKO is everything. Vince had a huge hand to play because when I would be wrestling somebody and I was younger, they would want to kick out of my finish. Vince would pull me aside and say, ‘We’re not going to do that. We’re not going to let that happen.’ I’ll never hit a guy with three RKOs to cover him and pin him. I’m not going to dilute my finish. That is always going to be a kill shot and I can hit it out of nowhere. Vince has a huge part to play when it comes to my finish and that’s a huge part of being a WWE superstar, what’s your finishing move.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Orton spoke about his current contract and wanting to have a WrestleMania-only schedule after it is over. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
