10 of the most controversial wrestlers of all time

#8 Randy Orton

Randy Orton probably regrets this ill thought out post on social media.

Randy Orton has been a fixture in the WWE for almost twenty years. His membership in the Evolution stable led to him being crowned the youngest WWE world champion in history.

In addition, he is a grand slam champion, having held every title the company has to offer, and has managed to remain relevant and fresh with minor tweaks to his character and ring style over the years. Orton is one of the most consistent performers in the WWE and rarely, if ever, has what could be called a bad match.

However, he courted controversy when he decided to post a photo of himself and a fan outside of a gym, with an insensitive and fat shaming caption. Fans are the lifeblood of the wrestling business, and wrestlers disrespect them at their peril.

It just goes to show that even long tenured former world champions are not immune to controversy.
