#1 The range of talent
When Randy Orton debuted, he drew immediate comparisons to The Rock for his killer physique, good looks, and athleticism. While Orton was good and would become a top player for WWE, his similarities to The Rock only underscore his fundamental differences. He could never talk at The Rock’s level. He could never engage a crowd at The Rock’s level.
And at the end of the day, while Orton has grown on a lot of fans, he’s never demonstrated the genuine magnetism of personality as The Rock.

When it comes to being a talker who can cut sensational wrestling promos and charm on the talk show circuit, being an athletically gifted human being who can perform at the highest level just a couple years into the business, and being a guy with the aura to command a room, no wrestler has ever been able to touch The Rock.
Might we see another star like that someday? Anything’s possible, but I wouldn’t hold my breath, because The Rock represents a uniquely diverse set of talents built for superstardom, not to mention the drive to take him all the way to the promised land.
