[2007-06-03-WWE-One Night Stand: Extreme Rules] Rob Van Dam vs Randy Orton (Stretcher)

[cactus]

Orton was only five years into his run here and it's clear at this point that he 'gets' wrestling. His facial expressions are golden and he radiates arrogance. The story going into this is that Orton concussed RVD on Raw and he wants to do it again. Most of Orton's offence is simple, strike at RVD's head and scrabble his brains some more. What brings this match down is that RVD is abysmal at selling a head injury. He looks hokey. The stretcher stipulation also hurt the match. There's just not much to work with. Still, this did it's job and got Orton over as a massive headcase despite his loss.
