I've read the Austin/Orton thing a few times but I don't buy it that much TBH. Austin was a tough, hell-raising brawler who was out to cause havoc for Vince who was trying to hold him down/away from the title etc. They're trying to sell Orton as a more cold-hearted, sadistic fighter. The thing with Orton is though, he doesn't seem to have any particular reason for being like that. Like I said, Austin was feuding with Vince, 'the man' was trying to hold him down etc. Orton seems to be out to hurt people just for the sake of it. Austin seemed to take a certain amount of pleasure in what he was doing, Orton..... doesn't show much emotion. Which I guess is what they're going for, but it makes him a lot different from Austin IMO.

One of the former creative in a radio show Wade Keller earlier this week, Orton was.

The issue, was PG holding Orton back from being creative. People forget Austin started as a heel, the fans turned him face in the attidude era cause, of his character.
