Randy Orton is one of the most legendary superstars on the current WWE roster. While other stars have gone to Hollywood or other projects, Orton has remained a staple of WWE TV. But with that longevity comes struggles. Especially with how Orton was pushed from a young age.
While speaking to Metro Orton went into detail about his relationship with Vince McMahon:
“He’s seen me in dark periods where I’ve had meltdowns and breakdowns in front of him. I’ve beat my head against the wall in front of him, as a 25-year-old man just emotional f***** – ‘Arrrr!’ – not knowing how to express myself. He’s witnessed that in close quarters. I think he sees a little bit of my crazy in him – even if it’s just a little bit.”
“From an early age when I was f****** up like that, I think it almost made him want to nurture that part of me. We’ve grown together in that regard, so now our conversations are a lot different. If I knock on his door, peek my head in, nine out of 10 times, no matter who’s in there he’ll tell them to f**** off so I can come in and talk to him. Which is pretty cool, you know?”

It is nice to hear positive stories about the big boss man himself. Orton clearly respects McMahon and feels he owes him a severe amount of gratitude. Orton is currently on a great run as part of RK-Bro and having a lot of fun in the process.
