My name is Randy Orton and I was born on April 1, 1980. After graduating from Hazelwood Central Highschool I made my professional wrestling debut in 2000 at South Broadway Athletic School (aka MMWA-SICW) in my hometown of Saint Louis, Missouri. While I was there I was trained by Ron Powers, Gary Jackson, Mark Bland, Jeremy Lightfoot, Phil E. Blunt, Tony Costa, and my father "Cowboy" Bob Orton. Soon after I had a match at Central Championship Wrestling with O.G. Stevie B. Not too long after that I signed a developmental deal with the WWE and was sent to OVW (Ohio Valley Wrestling). I trained there for awhile until I made my Smackdown debut in April of 2002. I didn't make much of an impact as a face so soon after I was drafted to RAW where I came a heel. My heel turn took awhile because I was sidelined with a seperated shoulder. I did a weekly "Randys News Network" that eventually turned fans against me. I returned on January 20, 2003 and joined up with Triple H, Ric Flair, and Batista. Triple H soon after gave us the name EVOLUTION. Around this time I was given the nickname THE LEGEND KILLER which stuck. On December 14, 2003 (Armageddon) I defeated RVD for the intercontinental championship. I became one of longest reigning intercontinental champions ever. Let's more on to July 26, 2004. I won a 20 man battle royal to become ..1 contender to the World Heavyweight Championship. On August 15, 2004 (Summer Slam) I defeated Chris Benoit to become the youngest WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION ever! I must have impressed Chris Benoit because afterwards he shook hands with me and encouraged me to "Be a Man". On the following night I was kicked out of EVOLUTION because Triple H wanted me to hand over the title I earned to him. Obviously I didn't do that so I was left a bloody mess in the ring. I ending up losing my title to Triple H less than a month later to Triple H on September 12, 2004 (Unforgiven). Triple H and I had a lenghty feud over the title. At Survivor Series 2004 Chris Benoit, Maven, Chris Jericho, and myself had a elimanation tag match against 4 other superstars which we won that entitled us to all be GM's for a night. Not to long after, "Superstar" Billy Graham challenged me "to go where no wrestler has gone before!" so I challenged The Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania 21. The Undertaker beat me but that didn't stop me from wanting to continue to try and beat him. The next night I had a match with Batista that aggravated my shoulder injury that I had received the night before from the Undertaker. I had to have surgery and I was out of action for awhile. I returned on June 16, 2005 on Smackdown and attacked the Undertaker and announced I was the newest member of the Smackdown roster! I made my in ring return against Kamala and I defeated him and a week later I defeated Chris Benoit but those wins weren't what I was there for. I wanted the Undertaker. On SummerSlam 2005 I defeated the Undertaker with just a little help from my father Cowboy Bob Orton. I tried to get the Undertaker to retire and even tried to give him a retirement fund but he didn't want no part in it and set it on fire with a bolt of lightning. At No Mercy, my father and I defeated Undertaker in a handicap casket match. We set the casket on fire but to my surprise when it was opened it was empty!! I went on to be the sole survivor (third year in a row) in a Survivor Series Elimination match against RAW. I didn't get to bask in my win very long because the Undertaker returned and cleared out the ring. On to more recently... On December 18, 2005 (Armageddon) I had a hard fought match against the Undertaker in a HELL IN A CELL. The Undertaker ended up pinning me after we were both bloody and battered. But, I still want to finish what I started and destroy the Undertaker and move on to bigger things like trying to capture the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION yet again.
