I didn’t watch WWE back when he wrestled.
How big of a deal is he? Bigger than Cody? Hulk Hogan tier? Better than anyone on AEW?

I saw this clip and it looked pretty fucking cool

It's a simple fact that he's one of the few guys that's known by people that don't watch wrestling. That's an achievment itself and shows that he's a pretty big deal. You can say it's only because of the RKO memes but that can all still be credited to him.

If Orton ever decided to wrestle a faster paced stiff sawdusting style like a lot of AEW has, he'd probably be the greatest in ring wrestler of all time. But he's a money and miles guy. He's cool and all, but those guys are typically not huge fan favorites.

You're retarded faggot. I can walk up to anyone on my campus and they'd know Randy Orton because of his memes. No one who hasn't watched wrestling will no Punk. Fuck Outta here. Randy's one of the few wrestlers of the past 20 years who's known outside by casuals. Punk is no where close.

Randy Orton is wrestling royalty whereas CM Punk is a flash in the pan little rat boy. They don't compare. WWE fans do not get as excited for CM Punk as Randy Orton.

He's never been a merch mover. He's never had Hollywood offers. He never pops ratings. He's like the new version of Shawn Michaels. An absolute legend in the industry but most normies wouldn't have a fucking clue who he is.

All of that applies to Cuck Man Phil as well. Every one of my normie friends who know I watch wrestling can name him along with Cena, Rey, Taker, Rock, Hogan. No one, and I mean NO ONE knows who the fuck Phil is.

He is big enough that people know his name outside of wrestling.
He's also really good, but he clearly doesn't really care that much and so he doesn't have the big energy charisma thing that megamarks need because they have no attention spans.
He should be considered an all time great unironically, and I hate WWE.

CM Punk was the #2 merch mover behind John Cena during that era. He is absolutely one of the only people who ended up having any sort of crossover appeal. He was the one chosen to work with The Rock because he was the only guy besides Cena who had made waves in the real world.

You're absolutely fucking delusional. No one knows who the fuck Phil is he had no crossover appeal whatsoever I can say CM Punk to any of my friends and they'll go 'Who". I say Randy Orton? "RKO guy' You've got Phil's cock so far down your mouth you think he actually was anyway as big as Orton? What a retard

Normally his return would be not as big a deal as Cena, but since his career is nearing its end and the injury seemed pretty bad I think people are more hyped.

He’s the RA/PG eras version of Triple H without the reign of terror. He’s a great heel and a boring face. But you still have to respect his dedication to his work.

The RKO is just a cutter. He didn’t invent it but he made it a GOAT heel finisher. Crazy how DDP used it as his finisher and was an all time great babyface.

and yet he never was a draw or moved ratings, a “star” during the era when the only genuine star (besides Cena) is the brand. Would have been a “good hand” in the 70s or the 80s

He was in that spot where he was one of the top guys for a long time and really helped keep the lights on, but he was clearly never a GOAT. Seff is probably a good example of that on a younger guy; though, I'd rank Orton above Seff.
