I got this from Wikeppedia:
Personal life
Before becoming a wrestler, Orton enlisted with the United States Marine Corps out of high school. Orton was dishonorably discharged about a year later after going AWOL on two occasions, the first time for eighty two days, and disobeying an order from a commanding officer, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Private First Class Orton was convicted under a special court-martial, and was put into a military prison for thirty eight days. As this was before the law changed in 2002, Orton did not become a felon as a result.
While on RAW, Orton was accused of harassing fellow WWE employees Amy Weber and Rochelle Loewen, leading to the departure of Weber from the company, while Loewen was transferred to SmackDown! (she was later released). Loewen claimed that he vandalized her possessions and directed racist remarks towards her, calling him "an animal."[4] It should however be noted that Orton's friend Mark Jindrak refuted several of Loewen's accusations in an interview with Voice of Wrestling, and claimed that Orton had apologized to Loewen at the time of the 2005 Royal Rumble, and that fellow Diva Search contestant (and eventual winner) Christy Hemme denied what she knew of the allegations in an interview with The Sun.[5]
In November 2005, Orton announced his engagement to long term girlfriend Samantha.[6]
Ya think you know Orton, but you have no idea...
Doesn't it take a few months before it's out on DVD or something? Like NO MERCY, they just released it about a month ago.
Anyway, I was doing a tid-bit research on Pro-Wrestling to further understand it and clarify something. Here is what I found in Encarta (This could be helpful to anyone who buys the thing to be real):
Professional Wrestling, form of entertainment in which wrestlers battle each other in matches that are scripted and rehearsed beforehand. To help give the fights dramatic tension, some professional wrestlers adopt stage names, wear costumes, and make grand entrances into the arena. Before and after the actual bouts, many wrestlers also taunt and challenge each other and the spectators.
Professional wrestling developed from amateur wrestling, but while the two sports resemble each other in some ways, they are not closely related. In most sports, professional competitors represent the sport뭩 best athletes뾲hose with the ability to rise to the highest level of competition. Professional wrestlers are skilled athletes, but they perform as entertainers and not as competitors. The win-loss record of a professional wrestler, therefore, does not indicate how successful he or she is. Many professional wrestlers never win titles but nonetheless capture the imagination of fans and attract spectators and television viewers to the sport.
Wrestling matches are arranged by a team of writers and producers called bookers. Many bookers are retired wrestlers who want to stay in the business. The bookers write short-range, medium-range, and long-range scenarios for the wrestlers. The scripts plot out how the wrestler뭩 career will progress. The writers also plan how individual matches will be fought, although the scripts do not spell out every move. For example, the scenario of a match may tell the wrestlers how long a match should last and who should win with what move, but the wrestlers themselves improvise most of the match뭩 details.
A wrestler뭩 trademark is his or her finishing move, which usually has a colorful name. Finishing moves include the Stone Cold Stunner, the DDT, the Choke Slam, the Razor's Edge, the Tombstone Piledriver, and the Power Bomb. These finishing moves are designed to provide a dramatic ending to the match, but they are also designed not to hurt the wrestlers. For example, in the Stone Cold Stunner and the DDT, which are almost identical, the wrestler grabs the opponent's head and falls to the mat, making it appear that the opponent has smashed his or her head into the canvas and been knocked out. The move appears violent, but when making it, the winner uses the shoulder to cushion and protect the opponent's head. The result is a crowd-pleasing ending, but no serious injury. Wrestlers are specifically trained to perform these maneuvers, and they are extremely careful in executing them. If untrained wrestlers attempt these moves, they can cause serious injury.

Because wrestling is so physically intense, the wrestler also learns how to decrease the danger of becoming injured while falling or being hit by another wrestler.
^ See? It's all scripted! But what can I say? It IS entertainment, isn't it?
(Wait, y'all REALLY reafd what I wrote ^, that long post? It's just a result of my excitment)
I know Orton's an SOB and everything, but 'scuse me while I put something I could fantasize with:
That was when he picked up the victory for SD during Survivor Series 2005. Speaking of SD, I was watching Velocity last night and what was it with Steve Romero and Josh Mathews being off topic? Just coz a guy named Ace was in the ring, they got into the topic of American Idol. Steve was like "You like that Chicken Little guy?" and Josh said "I like everyone in American Idol." (Off Topic: Chris' version of WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD last Tuesday was impressive).
Wheew! What's been going on the Raw side of things? I've said it before, I'm an SD gal...
*Orton, Long, Angle and Mysterio were in an arguement, and when Angle stated that Mysterio would be a more formittable opponent, look at Orton's reaction: (I swear to God I was LAUGHING at his facial expression)
OMG! I still am laughing!
