Under the guidance of Triple H and Ric Flair in Evolution, Orton began targeting WWE legends in order to build his own legacy. What followed was one of the most memorable character evolutions of the Ruthless Aggression era. The Legend Killer persona saw Orton go after some of the biggest names in wrestling history. Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, Harley Race, Sgt. Slaughter, Jake Roberts and even The Undertaker were all in Randy's cross hairs as he went on this new mission. Orton’s confidence, calculated promos, and willingness to disrespect wrestling icons helped establish him as a true main event threat... it also led to championship gold. In this video, we break down the origins of the Legend Killer character, the key rivalries, the matches that defined the run, and how this period shaped Randy Orton into one of WWE’s most enduring main event stars.
