One of the most skillful, yet rugged families are the Ortons. Spanning three generations, the lineage began with Bob Orton, Sr. who made a name for himself during the 1960s and ’70s. He was one of the first individuals to incorporate the piledriver into his arsenal of maneuvers. His son, Cowboy Bob Orton, entered into the industry in the early ’70s, competed in various wrestling organizations until had his ticket punched to enter WWE in 1984. One of the Cowboy’s great accomplishments was to have competed in the main event of the first WrestleMania in 1985. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005. And the Orton tradition continues with Randy Orton. A multi-time WWE Champion and World Heavyweight Champion, the man known as WWE’s “Apex Predator” has carved himself a WWE career that has contributed in making the Orton family one of sports-entertainment’s best recognized groupings.
