Professional wrestlers aren't generally known for their smarts, but WWE's Randy Orton does wax philosophical - in his way - in an interview with Eurogamer.
Visiting London to promote THQ's upcoming SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, Orton turned his attention to the debate over video game violence:
Violence sells. I want to see more violence in games - the more blood the better... [Some parents who worry about video games] don't know their kids are watching South Park.
The violence [in Goodfellas] is against human beings. There's rape in movies - you see all kinds of f***ed up s*** on film.
Orton, who owns an Xbox 360 and a Wii, called Grand Theft Auto "just a cartoon" in comparison to Goodfellas.

Gallagher can araç kiralama say all he wants, but I strongly rent a car believe it's due to his crappy leadership and E3 being a joke. ESA's Board of Directors need to find a way to get out rent a car of this horrid contract with this Bush cronie before there's no one left on the Board.
Btw, I think Atari and Midway will drop out too, but mostly travesti because these guys have done nothing ttnet vitamin or little and need to start saving costs.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Oh great just what we need,more talk about wrestling from a group of drug taking faggots than not one mentioning video game violence...TSK,tsk...you kids are shameful.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
TRIPLE H and UNDERTAKER are the real kings of wrestling,Randy orton should RKO his sorry ass back to St.louis. And yeah, Jack thompson is a Dick and a Hippocrate, and he's pyscho-killer obessed with looking at this site as always and only cares more about money than god himself, He can type anything he wants to try and to prove his claims, but its not convincing and never will be...that is the truth, I do agree with Orton, let alone being scary looking and an asshole, Im looking forward to 09 and wrestlemania 25 coming.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Triple H is a notriouse backstage politican, and honestly, I don't watch the show that he's on while he's holding the champion cause I hate him that much, but otherwise, yes, I will agree with you on Jack Thompson.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Randy is always right & am with him.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Actually, a great deal of professional wrestlers have college degrees. One or two have masters as well (current roster that is, but they're more exception than the rule). In fact there is at least one wrestler I know of that is both taking a full on road schedule AND is currently doing a full load at a major University. The majority of them aren't stupid... Randy Orton, I withold the right to be mistaken, is not one of them with a college degree. He's been known as a royal arse backstage, and has put his foot in his mouth more times than I can count when he's been out due to injury/suspension (probably because he has a lot more free time).
That being said, I do agree PARTIALLY with his message and /facepalm his way of saying it simutaneously.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Randy Orton can be really, really protective of what he wants and of people he cares about that he wants. In his own way. Randy Orton's more intelligent and wise than the college dudes are anyway. Randy Orton doesn't get a lot of free time. He's usually working, wrestling at a show, travelling to the next show or signing or whatever and training to stay in shape physically and cardiovascularly. I have to go work out and do cardio. Or Randy Orton's going to kill me for not doing that.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
I'd like to see more violence in video games too. Maybe not excessive blood but just more twisted violence.
I want a game where I could walk around a crowded city acting like the Joker from the Dark Knight (come to think of it, that might actually be more fun than playing as Batman, I hope DC Comics reads this).
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
32 comments and not a single one is a wrestling joke involving some guy taking down/pinning/doing their special move or what not on the video game violence issue? tsk, tsk...I'm disappointed.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
and only one subtle hint at a similarity between some guy pinning down another guy wearing nothing but spandex and gay porn.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
No wonder Jack loves pro wrestling. Jack and gay porn do have history
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Maybe not, but it doesn't change the fact that most of them (at least those who started in the last 20 or so years) have college degrees, including degrees in journalism, business and many other areas. Though, don't remember if Orton does, he's just a dick. He did have a brief stint in the Marines that didn't end so well. >_>
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Randy Orton's not stupid! Randy Orton and John Cena AREN'T dicks. You're being a dick. Randy Orton served in the US Marine Corps and he didn't want to stay in the military forever because he didn't want to make it a career. He wanted to be in pro wrestling. His military service wasn't what he chose to pursue. So get off his case. He isn't bullying you, you're bullying him and myself as well. Randy Orton's the reason that people even WATCH WWE and care about it. If it weren't for him fighting for the rights of everyone to say things freely there wouldn't be such a thing as "freedom of speech". You don't have the right to disrespect him or anyone else.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
If I recall correctly, George "The Animal" Steele had a masters degree in science.
Though I suppose that might not count for much. There are many morons who have earned degrees and do not deserve them. Yes Jack, I am looking at you.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
George Steele > (and I'm sure smarter) then Jack Thompson.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Professional wrestlers are smarter han one may think, its much more an act than simple "muscle smash".

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Ahh! So you're the reason why I couldn't edit my post.
I was going to add a few more examples that I thought of with wrestlers who I know have degrees. But it'd be a rather long thing to write and I'm too damn tired to do it.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Anything good I want from Randy Orton face to face....he'd probably make me earn it from him. Just a hunch. Anyway, the truth is: Violence doesn't sell. Money isn't good all the time. Especially when those making the money are harming or being allowed to harm WWE superstars/pro wrestlers and anyone who likes or loves them. Violence isn't "good" for anyone. I'd expect Randy Orton to be more against violence in pro wrestling than most people would be and pro wrestling isn't primitive, barbaric or meant to be treated as such. Randy was pointing out that there are the types of fans, namely IWC smarks who do view pro wrestling as being something which should be violent or allowed to be violent. The ones who promote the primitive barbaric aspect of violence in pro wrestling aren't the pro wrestlers themselves. The IWC smarks are the ones who'd promote that aspect.
Randy Orton HATES that people would disrespect his profession by screwing it up and ruining it for everyone. Pro wrestling is supposed to be entertainment. NOT violence. I would also expect Randy Orton.....or, people who like him and care about him as a person, to explain that pro wrestling is more than just doing wrestling moves on people. It is about telling a story or at least showing that it is about doing things which are funny, humorous, goofing around, having fun and not intentionally being cruel or mean spirited towards others. Because people who watch pro wrestling have a personal responsibility towards the men and women in pro wrestling to treat them with consideration, respect, compassion, gentleness and goodness.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
It's nice being able to hide behind an "Anonymous" identity isn't it? Prowrestling isn't not any more primitive or barbaric as football or hockey or any "real" sport that involves physical contact. Don't even bother going to MMA or boxing, at least prowrestling hasn't hidden behind a guise of being "real" over the last 20+ years. >_>
Personally, I'd rather people (who know it's not "real") be interested in mostly scripted violence than the real thing.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
well the acting and stories are rather...... primitive.... hehehehehehehe

Jack Thompson, is that you?
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
probably not. Jack did complain about BioShock being advertized during WWE indicating that he watches this stuff.

I know its probably not him, I just put that cause that seems like something that he'd say.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
I'l agree with the muscle head, games need more violence ,at last as much as we had in the sprite days, subtle "censorship" like in turok or ultra realistic games that only have rag rolls but no limb loss and such need to go.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Vince, if you're reading this, this is just another reason to give Orton another WWE Title run when he gets better. *Orton pose*
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Seems like the only reason you want Randy Orton to have a WWE or WHC title run is to force him or John Cena or some other WWE superstar to do gimmicky type matches. Randy Orton is better. He isn't doing gimmick matches in November when he returns to the WWE and John Cena isn't. Nor should other WWE superstars/pro wrestlers like Edge, Undertaker, HHH, or anyone else on RAW, SmackDown! or ECW do them either!!! BTW, Randy Orton or John Cena having a WWE or WHC belt sucks and so does them main eventing if by doing so that means they have to do gimmick matches. All gimmick matches should be banned from the WWE, ROH, TNA and other pro wrestling organizations.
WHY ???????? VIOLNECE IN PRO WRESTLING SUCKS AND IS LOUSY, NON ENTERTAINING, NON IMPRESSIVE, NO GOOD, HORRIBLY BAD, DESPICABLE, LOUSY, CRUEL, UNFAIR, UNCOOL, AND SO IS VIOLENCE IN VIDEO GAMES!!!!
VIOLENCE IN WWE, ROH, TNA, JAPAN AND OTHER PRO WRESTLING OR IN VIDEO GAMES THAT ARE PRO WRESTLING OR NON PRO WRESTLING RELATED SHOULDN'T BE TOO VIOLENT BECAUSE IT CAN DESENSITIZE PEOPLE TO VIOLENCE AND THAT CAUSES PROBLEMS!!!!!!
PROTECT THE WWE SUPERSTARS/PRO WRESTLERS ------ 0 TOLERANCE FOR GIMMICK MATCHES IN WWE!
PROTECT THE SUPERSTARS/PRO WRESTLERS IN ROH, TNA, JAPAN AND OTHER INDY FEDS AS WELL FROM GIMMICK MATCHES ------0 TOLERANCE FOR GIMMICK MATCHES!
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Not happening anytime soon
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
I know, I read that, and was both pissed off and dissapointed at the same time. *Shakes head* Especally since this gives, ugh, Cena a clear shot at the title. *Vomit*
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Video games actually tend to restrain themselves since Wal-Mart refuses to carry games with an AO rating. If the world's largest retailer won't carry your game it has an impact on sales, so a developer is going to tone their product down rather than risk disappointing sales figures.
Big commercial movies have far more actual graphic violence than most games. Did I mention the trailer for Saw V was just released?

"Video games actually tend to restrain themselves since Wal-Mart refuses to carry games with an AO rating."
Them and gamespot and other big name retailers.
Although let's not forget that Sony and Nintendo won't let you make Ao games on their consoles (I'm pretty sure it's the same thing with the Xbox).
As much as I dislike Wal-Mart I think it's a bit unfair to place all the blame on them.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Wal - Mart shouldn't be allowed to sell things like steel cage, elimination chamber or other types of gimmicky matches under the guise of being a game, or a toy, or something to play with or treat lightly. Violence in pro wrestling SUCKS! It should be banned completely.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
I have a difficult time saying he is wrong. I don't think he is making the industry look bad at all. There is much truth in his statements actually. It just depends how you translate it to yourself I suppose.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Randy Orton has been wrong at times and right at times in his life. Pro Wrestling isn't what looks bad, the fans---ie; IWC smarks make pro wrestling look bad. So do marks sometimes as well. When neither group does things to help or bring about things they do want....things get worse. Randy Orton said what he did to get people thinking and questioning things instead of just going along with things that happen. He needs help to fight against all of the negativity.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Um, Orton is a guy who took a dump in a woman's gym bag for not responding to his advances. Why listen to what someone like him thinks?
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
That's a lie that turned into a rumor about Randy Orton taking a dump in a woman's gym bag for not responding to his advances. Why listen to what he, or someone like him thinks? Because Randy Orton wants it that way and he deserves to be face to face with people who care about him and to be able to give and receive affection, kisses, hugs, share laughter, do fun things, share a meal and hang out with people, too.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
That's a lie and a rumor made up about Randy Orton taking a dump in a woman's purse for not responding to his advances. Exactly like the one you started about Randy Orton being married and having a child. He is SINGLE!!!! What, you didn't know that Randy Orton is the sort of guy who....because of the way he uses his facial expressions and his body language....women copy those things and keep the guys who would attempt to abduct them on the street, to leave them the hell alone!
Why listen to what someone like Randy Orton thinks and feels?? Because he deserves to be treated with respect and consideration, kindness and affection. As does John Cena and other men and women in WWE.
THAT'S WHY!!!
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Thats still the biggest BS ever, it was disproven, and yet, people still keep saying it.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
just a note, upon reading this i did a little bit of research, and this is actually a false statement
while it's true that it was alledged that he deficated into a female employee's gym bag, the female employee has stated that while he did vandalise her bag, he did it with baby oil and lotion
also to not, it wasn't because she turned down his advances, but apparently because she did not reconize him in the locker room
also note, that Mr Orton did infact appologize for his actions
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Well the truth is that the woman who lied about Randy Orton taking a dump in her bag, and who now all of a sudden is saying it happened with baby oil and lotion as well as the story changing from her turning down his advances....now all of a sudden it is because she didn't recognize him in the locker room? He wouldn't be in the Diva's locker room in the first place. Why was it that she didn't stop lying about him and treating him in that way???? Yet he had to apologize to her. Makes no sense.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Apparently a lot of the pro wrestlers are avid gamers. It's easy to take a console with you on the road and unwind with the games. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they know what they're talking about when it comes to gaming.
And he's right...GTA IV is a cartoon compared to some movies. I'm actually amazed at how LITTLE blood you see in GTA IV (though what little there is is done very effectively).
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Not really, most of the WWE superstars/pro wrestlers aren't necessarily avid gamers but they know that IWC smarks ARE. I guarantee it. Any parent who'd let their kids play pro wrestling video games are doing their children a disservice if they're not teaching them to respect others and protect themselves and others from bullying/bullies.
VIOLENCE IN VIDEO GAMES SUCKS! GIMMICK MATCHES SUCK!
