In Randy Orton's interview with 98 KUPD Arizona Real Rock he talked about his new DVD that will be out in September in which he shares a lot of stories about the mistakes that he made as a younger star, including the night his wife had to call an ambulance because he had overdosed.

"My wife does an interview and talks about a scary moment I put her through. She actually saved my life." Orton was asked if he got involved with drugs and he responded, "Yeah, you know. I've done all that stuff…My wife's crying in this DVD about how I stopped breathing and the ambulance came." Orton states he was 26 when this happened and is now 31. You can hear the whole interview here.

Shore's Slant: Orton does plug his DVD in this part of the interview, but more in passing to tell the story about what happened with his wife. I can't say I was looking forward to the Orton DVD in any big way, but his description of it as "more hard hitting stories" has piqued my interest.
