‘The Legend Killer’ Randy Orton is one of the most loved heel superstars of all time. Having 20 years of experience in hand, ‘The Viper’ advises and praises the aged stars on their extraordinary feat. One such example was recently narrated by Malakai Black (fka Aleister Black). While speaking on a podcast, Black stated how he got appreciated by Orton for his finisher spinning heel kick and felt amazing with it.

Malakai Black spoke on The Undisputed Podcast that he thinks Randy Orton is just a step above the ring general. But then stated his greatness cannot be expressed in words by him. Speaking of his grandeur, Black stated how amazingly perfect Orton is in the ring, while also observing the smallest nuances of his opponents. He then stated an example of his match when his finisher was praised by ‘The Legend Killer’ and narrated the story in short.

His release from WWE in June 2021, a month later saw his debut in AEW under the changed ring name. Black’s time in WWE saw his only great run in NXT and not in the main roster. His time in RAW and SmackDown saw his major storylines but with no bigger matches or title reigns.

Randy Orton opines on CM Punk being upset all the time

CM Punk and Randy Orton are two of the greatest heel superstars WWE has ever produced. Hence knowing their opinions about each other was necessary during their peak period in their respective careers. During an interview with Sam Roberts in 2013, Orton liked complaining about everything and being upset about it.

Randy stated Punk used to have a chip on his shoulder and he eventually became known for it. Until Orton knew CM Punk, he thought of himself to be the one taking all the chip on his shoulder but then he saw Punk’s inner demons being distinct from his. Hence his messed-up situation used to get justified by his persona.

‘The Viper’ stated that Punk never used to have alcohol due to his straight-edged lifestyle. But recalled the time when he took a shot of Jack Daniels upon his respect for Harley Race. The Apex Predator brought to notice that Punk’s upset mood despite his non-alcoholic nature was another justification for his effective heel persona.
