Randy Orton 'Starting To Feel It' After Performing The RKO For Decades

Randy Orton has a finisher that he can hit out of nowhere and are, in his words, the most devastating three letters in all of sports entertainment.

The RKO has transcended wrestling with the move being used in viral videos and being meme'd online.

Whether he's wrestling on television or not, Orton typically finds a way to hit the RKO at least once a week on TV. Throw in multiple live events and Orton has performed the RKO a countless number of times since striking his first victim nearly two decades ago.

Speaking to Fox 2 Now in St. Louis, Orton said he's started to feel the effects of the move.

"I kind of wish I could go back in time and create a finishing move that didn't entail me jumping up as high as I can and landing on my back. After doing that a couple of thousand times over the last few decades, I'm starting to feel it," he said.

Orton most recently delivered an RKO to Gable during the Alpha Academy Graduation Ceremony on Monday's WWE Raw.
