Randy Orton is a veteran of the WWE and has been a staple in the world of professional wrestling for decades. He is widely recognized as one of the most talented and accomplished performers in the industry, but his journey to the top wasn’t always smooth sailing. Like many young people, Randy had his share of mistakes and missteps along the way.
In his early days with WWE, Randy Orton had a bit of a reputation for having a less-than-stellar attitude. He was known to cause a bit of trouble and had a penchant for being a ladies’ man. While this behavior may have been seen as harmless by some, it didn’t sit well with everyone.
During one particular period of time, Randy Orton was often paired with Kevin Nash on the road. This led to some interesting stories and incidents that have since become part of WWE lore. In a recent episode of the Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash recalled how Randy Orton and fellow wrestler Mark Jindrak would often hook up with women between shows, sometimes even bringing them backstage at WWE events.
While this behavior may not have been unusual for young, single men on the road, it didn’t sit well with everyone in the locker room. Some wrestlers felt that Randy Orton was being disrespectful by involving women behind the scenes without first seeking permission. This created a bit of tension and “heat” among some of the older wrestlers, who felt that Randy was crossing a line.
“I just remember him and Jindrak were good buddies, and I was like the driver; I had those two young f*ckers with me. And they were getting ass everywhere! I mean, those two, and they would talk about it. They would come into the locker room. They would bring the broads to the f*cking arenas, and they were hot smoking! There would be like two hot smoking girls in the back sitting somewhere, and people would go like, ‘Who are they?’ ‘They are with Jindrak and Orton.’”
“And it got so much heat on Randy and Jindrak from the old guys. It wasn’t because it was disrespectful or anything; it was because it was such sweet ass.”
Despite the controversy surrounding his behavior at the time, Randy Orton eventually matured and grew out of his wild ways. He settled down, got married, and started a family. Today, he is known as a respected and beloved figure in the WWE community, admired for his talent and professionalism both in and out of the ring.
The story of Randy Orton’s early days in WWE serves as a reminder that even the most talented and accomplished individuals have to start somewhere. While he may have made some mistakes along the way, Randy’s journey ultimately led him to become one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. And while his early behavior may have caused a bit of tension in the locker room, he has since earned the respect and admiration of his peers, fans, and colleagues.
