Orton gets the credit for hitting the RKO but Evans should get all the credit for selling the heck outta this move.

[jonpoon]

If this didn’t happen, I don’t think Seth would’ve had that Wrestlemania RKO

[talentrippin]

One of the iconic spots in modern professional wrestling.

[shreyabh]

Matt Sydal has two most watched SSP, One with Randy Orton and one in his AEW Debut

[badfish]

Such a humble dude. One of my favorites growing up.

[screamrad]

Matt and Randy’s chemistry in the ring is so good. These were around the times that Randy was so hesitant on working with smaller guys. Working with Evan really made Orton want to start working with smaller guys.

Just like that hbk kick to Shelton that rko counter will always be legendary.

[boltzbucs]

I love Lio in the background. I was dying watching him try and get attention.

[gilbertreyes]

That finisher is up there with the Shawn Michaels and Shelton Benjamin superkick off the springboard.

[destendgem]

This is the best RKO ever, with The Stomp into RKO in close second, and that time Randy reversed the Fameasser into a RKO IN THIRD. I thought he was going for a powerbomb on that last one.

[ricbulow]

Love how humble Matt is, to make sure that everyone gets the credit for making that spot inbelievable. What a guy!

[Nick-]

You can see Matt Sydal had his awakening moment. That third eye gimmick isn't just a gimmick. Kudos to him!

[Shemzinho]

That spot and the Shelton-HBK spot are the greatest counters I've seen in the WWE

[TomJones-wmro]

Wasn’t even watching WWE at this time, but I know of this spot. In fact, I’m going to go watch it again

[ChrisVanVliet]

[SasukeUchihaSharigan]

I haven’t finished the video yet but I love how you are just smiling at the beginning. That’s exactly what I’m doing as I listen to Matt describe this experience and passion.

[WrestlingFlicks]

Great video, Chris! I can still remember WWE SVR 2011 with a RTWM for Rey with Evan Bourne in it.

[NotCornette]

He sounds and looks too much like Dolph Ziggler I just can't unsee it

[Rokxis]
