Randy Orton Admits To Having Breakdowns In Front Of Vince McMahon

Randy Orton is a 20-year veteran, as he has numerous accolades to his name in WWE. He is also currently a well-respected locker room leader, but there was a chance he might not have even joined WWE in the past. He also opened up about his relationship with Vince McMahon and got very candid in the process.

Before he was signed to WWE, Randy Orton enlisted with the Marines. During his time there, Orton received a bad conduct discharge after being absent without official leave on two separate occasions. He also spent thirty-eight days in military prison.

While speaking to Metro, Randy Orton talked about his relationship with Vince McMahon. Orton recalled having breakdowns in front of the WWE Chairman in the past.

”He’s seen me in dark periods where I’ve had meltdowns and breakdowns in front of him. I’ve beat my head against the wall in front of him, as a 25-year-old man just emotional f***** – ‘Arrrr!’ – not knowing how to express myself. He’s witnessed that in close quarters. I think he sees a little bit of my crazy in him – even if it’s just a little bit.

From an early age when I was f****** up like that, I think it almost made him want to nurture that part of me. We’ve grown together in that regard, so now our conversations are a lot different. If I knock on his door, peek my head in, nine out of 10 times, no matter who’s in there he’ll tell them to f**** off so I can come in and talk to him. Which is pretty cool, you know?”

Randy Orton is clearly having a great time with his current run in WWE as part of Team RK-Bro and that is all that matters to him right now.
