WWE News Dot Net Exclusive Note: Orton messes with Michaels Feb 12, 2008 - 11:33 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing It’s been well established in recent weeks that WWE Champion Randy Orton isn’t afraid to rock the boat. He’s formed something of a clique with wrestlers such as MVP, Umaga, Rey Mysterio, Carlito, and one or two others. One of the ways he flexes his power in front of the group is to needle Shawn Michaels. For instance, one of the running gags that Orton has played is to wait for Michaels walks by and then say something like, “What an f---in’ bum,” just loud enough so that Michaels would hear him, yet not know for sure whether the comment is directed at him. These verbal ribs have drawn a lot of laughs from Orton's pals. Note: Please check out my latest blog entry for my thoughts on the friction between Orton and Michaels, and the bad rap that John Cena gets.
