Randy

This story may be a typical one for you, but let tell you this isn't some novel you can pick up from a bookstore that could cost you $19.99 a copy (not that you would want this one anyway, just want to make a clear point). It's the real thing here.

To those of you or just maybe a few who may not know who I am, my name is Randy Orton. I'm the former one time Intercontinental Champion, former one time World Tag Team Champion and former one time Heavyweight Champion. Let me also add that I'm known to be the youngest Heavyweight Champion in the history of this great industry, the World Wrestling Entertainment.

I'm sure you would like to get to know a little about me before I start this storytelling thing, which I would be gladly to do so since I do love telling people about myself. If I weren't me, I wouldn't have love me!
I'm from St. Louis, Missouri, born to two of the greatest parents I've ever had. My mom Edna is the owner of The Edna Dream, a bed and breakfast and my dad Bob is a car salesman. Did I mention that if my Pops hasn't been a wrestler back in the days that I wouldn't have been standing here in my wrestling boots today?

Yes, you got that right. My dad Bob Orton was a wrestler. He has worked with legends like Ric Flair, Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Andre the Giant and of course the fan favorite Hulk Hogan. They would all come over to my house sometimes for an afternoon barbecue at my backyard, or if they so happened to come in Missouri to do a show, then they would come over for dinner. It was a great gathering and I am so honored to meet such great people like them and to gain the influence I need to boost the inner fighter in me. Of course, I wouldn't have been where I am now if it weren't for my father who trained me well to be part of the business that has a great passion for what they do and has made a name for itself. So from the five years I have been in this sport, I live wrestling. I breathe wrestling. Or you could simply say that wrestling is my true destiny. There's nothing that could go on further than that. It is what it is.

Wrestling is my destiny.

Anyway, back to my family. My grandfather was also a wrestler back in the fifties so you can say that I grew up in the wrestling business. He would share his past memories with me when I was a kid. I would sit on his lap and let him share his story back in his days. I feel so blessed to have those two men in my life who would give me advice and to help me learn from the experiences they went through on their own. So because of that, it has gotten me to become the best of the best and on every live show, I would enter that ring to prove that.

I have two siblings Latoya and Martin who is the youngest of the three children and of course I would be the eldest. We get along great even though they could be a pain in the butt, especially my little brother whose mischievous ways hasn't changed one bit but we're still cool. Latoya is attending college to study medicine while Martin is at his senior year at high school.

We, the Ortons are just like any other normal family. But there's only one difference, really. That one thing that makes your family and my family different is the name that my family has derived through my grandfather's and my father's dedication to wrestling for a number of years.

Well, that's it for my family background and may I add that I am not ashamed to say that I'm very proud to be an Orton and being the third generation wrestler that I am now, I would like to conclude on my part that I am proud to continue the legacy that my family has build.

You could say that this is kind of an introductory note on my part. So if you think that this was the end of the story telling, then you haven't heard it all yet. I'm about to tell you a story about how it all happened. How it all happened with Ashley and me.

Who is Ashley you asked? She's a WWE Diva, an attractive one at that and she is a known to be a definite punk princess. Thanks to her, I'm now into many bands I have never knew existed besides my favorites Metallica and Pantera but anyway, that is beside the point.

Let me take you back in time to that night where everything changed and will never be forgotten. That night has changed my life professionally as well as personally.

So let us get that clock rewind and get that story unfold.

It was a Monday the eleventh of June, the day that everyone has looked forward to. Well, you can take me off that list since this event was not to say that I would be really so psyched about. It was the night of the draft lottery. During that event, if you were to be in the waiting room, you could hear nails biting off with nerves, frowns on the many faces of Superstars from the three brands Raw, Smackdown! and ECW. I was part of the Raw roster when it happened. In my personal view, I hate draft lotteries. One main reason was because you don't know what to expect and any changes made may be a good one or a bad one. As a WWE Superstar, that decision in mind lies in your hands.

I was in the locker room with my best friend John Cena. He was the WWE Champion and was made very popular. He made his own album two years ago which came out to be a successful one. He even starred in a film called The Marine plus he made an appearance on MADTv. John has done a lot during his time off wrestling and there was nothing I wouldn't have done than to be proud of what he has accomplished. He may have been 'the guy who has done it all' but for me, I couldn't see myself in such things. Wrestling is my destiny. There is nothing else comes to my mind besides wrestling. If I happen to get an offer to star in a movie, I just might consider it.

But for now, wrestling is all I ever think about.

"So the day has finally arrived," said John. "The WWE Draft: The beginning of a new beginning!"

I frowned. "You sound like Howard Finkel when you say that."

John laughed. "I just like the sound of it, man."

I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Are you nervous?" he asked me.

"How could I not be?" I asked. "This is not what I'm looking forward to."

"Well, you're not the only one you know," said John with a pat on my shoulder.

John's right about that. Almost everyone of us here are not so happy about it since Shane made an official announcement on Raw three weeks before that dreaded night arrived.

I looked up at him. As I sat on the locker room bench, I thought to myself that this could be the last night that I would ever be in the same room with John. The last time we would travel on the road together.

"This sucks," I thought. "I wish that draft lotteries never even existed."

But unfortunately, it has. There was no last minute cancellation to my disappointment.

The draft lottery must go on.

And unfortunately, it did.
