Apparently, Randy Orton's suspension could end his WWE career, and not the 60-day suspension as first thought. WWE doesn't want to fire him, because they don't want him to go to TNA. Instead he will finish his contract(which is obviously longer than 90 days), and then the WWE won't sign him to another contract. Basically, he'll get paid to nothing until his contract is up.

It looks like people are being let go left and right, as TNA hasn't given any indication that they'll bring back Austin Aries after he was suspended in February(but hey, at least they have Steiner!). Aries was signed to a one-year deal, and 10 guaranteed dates. Aries has already worked 10 dates, so it looks like he's wrestled his last match in a TNA ring.

TNA is stupid if they don't bring back Aries. In my opinion and many others, he is much better then Styles.

Wow.... that's pretty crazy to think that Orton is actually going to be fired by the WWE (although technically he's not, that's what they're doing from this report). 

As far as I'm concerned, Aries is better off not being in TNA.  They didn't know how to use him and then they suspend him, even though he still made the ppv show he was scheduled for.  Maybe Strong will put in a good word for Aries and they'll form Gen Next in WWE (yeah right).

Oh ****. They bring back Roderick Strong but they can't bring back Aries?

Well goodbye to Orton, it's a shame he could have been bigger then he was if the WWE had used him right.

I'm still not sold on this, I think this is going to turn out like  in July they'll call up Randy and go "Have you learned your lesson yet? Ok your back." He has too much potential and they've put too much money itno him to let him go.

Hmm...

I'm convinced that TNA thrives on taunting JML897. One day, I completely hate them. The next day, they look promising.JML897
So true, so true.  It looks like its back to hating.

As for Orton, I really doubt its truly the end of him in WWE but either way, I really couldn't be more apathetic.

I'll hate them for 6 more hours or so, until Daniels faces Joe on Impact.

I always find TNA a hard premotion to jump on, they've got an hour to wow me and usually the matchs I see in that hour have no selling or over selling.  I mean on paper this thing sounds great, but when it boils down to it, it always feel liek just one giant commercial for the next PPV. I don't know how WWE does it, but I never feel liek their PPV is shoved down my throat (at least by wrestling standards)

As for Orton, I got to be honest. I like him. The guy shows me something, that just has been misused. I feel that sometimes people are unfair in their judgement of Orton and Cena, hey these guys aren't making the decisions they are giving oppurtunities and forced to run with it. Orton entertains me sometimes, other times he is down right annoying , but the kid has potential its a damn shame to see it wasted. I figure his father was brought in to somewhat keep Randy under control on the road (seems like it failed).

TNA has issues and lots of them and I don't think there are too many people that can argue otherwise.  Some are seem pretty easy to remedy, others (I like to call him Jeff Jarrett) seem to be at the core of TNA.  Its sad that the company seems incapable of pulling its head out of its own ass for any extended length of time, because they have so much talent that I downright love and wrestling needs competition.

With Orton, I said I was apathetic and I meant it.  If he ends up being fired (or whatever), I'm not going to shed any tears.  Orton has shown flashes of greatness and  has been generally solid in the ring (excluding the majority of his face run).  He's had a few matches that I've really liked (vs RVD, vs Foley, where I gained a lot of respect for him) and a few matches I've surprisingly enjoyed (Taker at Mania, Triple H at the Rumble).  However, Orton is not so special that he is irreplaceable, IMO.  If he comes back, that's fine by me, maybe he can show more than a flash, if he's gone, that's equally fine by me... Apathy.

I like Orton alot, its just soemthing about him thats gives him an aura of unlimited potential. So that said, I hope he learns his lesson and will change his ways, it would be a shame to lose him IMO.

I never really liked Orton that much, but lately he's looked like a fairly valuable part of the WWE.  It's unfortunate that this progression is (apparently) gonna be cut short.

I have a feeling that they won't let him go so easily.  I think this may just be a rouse because he has so much potential that they would be stupid to let him go.  Especially after they've built him up.

I don't think they will just let Orton go like that. They've worked too hard on him to just send him packing like that.
