6. RKO on Fabulous Moolah
In his Legend Killer days, Randy Orton never discriminated when it came to age or gender. As long as you were a well respected legend in the wrestling industry, you should have expected an RKO in your future. It still came as a shock to many when Orton targeted the 80 year old former Womens Champion, The Fabulous Moolah, on the September 15th, 2003 edition of Raw.
While Victoria was attacking Moolah and her pal Mae Young, Orton stormed down to the ring to make the save, or so it appeared. He started to scold Victoria for harming Moolah on her birthday in her hometown and that as a legend in the business, Moolah didn’t deserve this treatment.
Orton helped the legend to her feet, introduced himself as The Legend Killer, and RKO’d her in front of a stunned hometown crowd with a shit-eating grin on his face. This would set the early stages for the kind of vile, remorseless character that Orton would morph himself into in the later years.
