Why DO kids like Randy Orton?

Episode 115: PW Torches

Rich Thomas of the International Object podcast returns to discuss several things, most notably and overarchingly my idea of fashioning a promotion without hard and fast heel and face alignments. I propose more of a NASCAR/American-style EPL development of individual wrestling fandoms. Rich makes arguments counter it based on current distribution models. We dally off into other topics, like whether Daniel Bryan's current story is too hopeless or not, why kids love Randy Orton, a wrestling promotion based on Southeastern Conference football, and lots of discussion on dirt sheets, their ethics, and whether or not they deserve sympathy.
