8. Randy Orton
When you think of a world champion in wrestling, Randy Orton automatically comes to mind. The same could be said for the 24-year veteran’s Bash in Berlin opponent, Gunther. In a match most people either loved because it was two pros going out there and doing what they do best, which is straight forward wrestling, or hated because of its 30-minute plus length, we can universally agree both talents gave their all. This was a rematch of their King of the Ring bout, which ended controversially when Gunther “pinned” Orton despite the 14-time world champion’s shoulders not being all the way down on the mat.
This time around, Orton was soundly defeated by Gunther after he was knocked out with a sleeper hold. Where does the man who stuns opponents with the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment go after this? Well, anywhere the first-ballot Hall of Famer wants to.
