Randy Orton

Bob Orton is a WWE Hall of Famer and was one of the most despised heels of the 80s. He was in Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff's corner when the villainous duo faced Hulk Hogan and Mr. T in the main event of WrestleMania 1 in 1985.

Orton's son, Randy, made his way to WWE's main roster in 2002 after a brief stint in OVW. Orton soon began making waves on the main roster and was added to Triple H's faction, Evolution. In a matter of two years, he had become the youngest World Champion in WWE history and went on to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania a year later.

Over the next decade or so, Orton won numerous WWE and World titles, whilst also headlining several WrestleMania shows. He is still a mainstay in WWE and one of the most respected veterans in the business. Orton is a sure-fire future Hall of Famer who has managed to make a bigger impact in the business than his father.
