As we mentioned this weekend, Randy Orton re-tweeted the critique below of independent wrestling by former wrestler and current Ohio Valley Wrestling instructor, Rip Rogers, and responded by writing “…..dive”:

Orton and Bully Ray have had their problems in the past. In an interview with The Sun in 2008, Orton didn’t hold back when asked his opinion on the former WWE and TNA Tag Team Champion.
“I never liked him,” Orton said of Bully Ray. “I never liked what he did because he only thought of himself. In the match my foot was broken, it was his fault… Bubba Dudley is the most out of shape, fat, non-work-ethic-having person I knew. And you had a bad taste in your mouth when you met him.”
Orton also took one more shot at independent wrestling tonight, as seen below:
