Randy Orton Reveals His Honest Reaction To The “Eddie Guerrero Is In Hell” Storyline

Randy Orton has been involved in some big storylines throughout the course of his career, and his 2006 rivalry with Rey Mysterio is still talked about often among wrestling fans.

WWE decided to use the death of Eddie Guerrero as a way for Randy Orton to get heat during the storyline, and at one point Orton told Mysterio that Eddie is in hell.

The line is still considered to be quite controversial for obvious reasons, and during a special guest appearance on the Kurt Angle Show The Viper noted that he was not comfortable with the storyline.

“100% was not comfortable with it. Rey assured me that it’s something Eddie would have wanted, and even still, Rey and myself went to Vickie, and Vickie gave us her blessing. She said the same thing. Eddie would have wanted to help you guys in this manner if he could have used his death in some way to help the business as morbid as that sounds; he would have wanted us to do it.”

“Especially with Rey being involved, so although it was a horrible tragedy and we all lost our friend, it was kind of something that helped me along the way in my career, and a lot of people, you know, as a bad guy talking about that. That was heat, and it worked, you know, it kind of helped with the angle between Rey and me. But looking back, it will always be something that was a little, you know, there are a lot of things that I’ve done in my career that have made me uncomfortable. I think we can all agree on that, right? Individually, but that, in particular, was something that I’d put at the top of the list.”
