Randy Orton isn’t much of a stats guy, but he’s fully aware of the milestones he’s approaching in his WWE career.
Randy Orton posted the following remarks on Twitter in response to potentially setting two new records this week. With his appearance at Survivor Series on Sunday, Orton will break the record for most WWE pay-per-view matches by a single wrestler. In addition, if Orton competes on RAW the next night, he will also set the record for most matches on RAW in the show’s history.
Orton took time to thank fans for not only their support over the years, but for keeping track too.
I’ve never been one to keep records or stats throughout my career. Early on, it was laughable to consider in my profession you had ‘wins’ and ‘losses’. You certainly wouldn’t talk about it, with the boys much less fans. But I’m fortunate to have some fans (and friends) that have done just that, kept my stats. Not just wins and losses, but damn near everything you could think of! It came to my attention that tomorrow at Survivor Series I’ll set a new record for most PPV matches by anyone in WWE history.
The following night on RAW coincidentally, if I have a match, I’ll have had more matches on RAW then anyone in history. I saw this online, checked it, and it is true… kind of hard to believe, as it feels like I only started down in OVW yesterday. I just wanna take a minute in light of these ‘stats’, and let everyone out there that’s ever supported me in any way know that I am thankful. I also know with all of my heart that I couldn’t have done it without you. Now on to my 15th Survivor Series…man time flies don’t it? #WWE #SurvivorSeries #RAW
