#3 Randy Orton’s Punt
Trending
Sometimes brutality is best shown through simplicity, and Randy Orton’s Punt is the perfect example of this. Professional wrestling is full of complex moves, pieces of artistry that take years to perfect and require impressive athleticism from the two involved in the tango. Sometimes, however, a simple boot to the head will suffice.
If you need to get from A to B, then a straight line is often the quickest route, and nothing puts a man out, like punting them in the temple.
Randy Orton used the punt frequently a few years back, but the PG era has seen the move put back in the cupboard. Though it’s hinted at now and then, it’s not used. The reason for this is simple; the punt is far too simple and far too brutal a move to be used on a PG program.
This is true of another move that will be mentioned shortly, and while older fans may scoff at this as they remember the Attitude Era, banning the Punt makes total sense.
Even so, what is stopping Orton from bringing it out on special occasions? WWE lacks those moves that take things to another level, and the Punt represents a great option for such a thing.
