I guess I am the only one who doesn't miss Orton and couldn't care less if he ever comes back. Batista, as disappointing as his personal life is which is really none of my business, is much more needed than Orton. Orton was pretty much nothing before he left. Maybe he will come back and get into a hot feud with someone. And BOY doesn't it seem ripe for a Batista/Booker feud after Booker became King and all? Hmm....
I still have not gotten verification of Orton's return. WWE said there is no set date when I inquired. However, they may be just doing the media thing with me. They do that often ... the whole "No comment" crud media goes through when trying to get an honest answer. Still, I have yet to see any concrete date for Orton. I only read PWinsider, Observer, and Torch. I don't read rehash sites or fan sites because they have been wrong so many times. If they credit one of those three or WWE.com/TNAwrestling.com then I will put stock into it.
Patty, why do you hate Orton so much? I mean, regardless of his personal life, he is a really great wrestler (and 1000x better than Khali and Mark Henry)and is a decent talker. Smackdown desperately needs him right now.
And I've heard he has went to couselling to sort out some of his problems...so he is trying to improve his behaviour.
