My Take
"Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. embodies an art form I deeply value in wrestling: the craft of the supporting heel. That cast on his arm, weaponized week after week, was pure psychological theater. What strikes me most is the lineage — son of Bob Orton Sr., brother of Barry, father of Randy. Three generations of ring blood is rare devotion to a brutal trade. Orton was never the marquee champion, but his job was to make stars shine, and he did it so well it carried him into the WWE Hall of Fame. I have enormous respect for that kind of reliable, selfless professionalism.
