There really isn’t much to say about this one. If you are a fan of the RKO and I know plenty of you are, than you need to watch this video the WWE put together of 30 Randy Orton RKO’s in 30 seconds!
[adinserter block=”1″]The RKO is an interesting move in that it certainly isn’t original, yet it has become one of the most over pro wrestling finishers of our generation. It’s hard to think of a scenario where another guy took a move that was already well known as someone elses finisher, slightly tweaked it, and got it over to the point that it became a legendary finisher of his generation. Ric Flair taking Buddy Rogers figure four leg lock is the only one that immediately comes to mind.
The WWE have started this series called 30 in 30 where they take thirty scenes of something which in this case is a pro wrestling move and show it all in 30 seconds, about 35 in this case but who is really counting. Orton’s move is a great start because he has found so many unique ways over the years to incorporate it into a big spot. The video opens up with one of those highlights against Rey Mysterio.
This is a very cool video and the concept is actually pretty brilliant. Check it out and keep following their channel for more of these 30 in 30 videos. I bet they’ll have some really cool ones coming down the road.

The opening highlight was actually Evan Bourne. Pretty cool video, though. Definitely well done.
