Randy Orton was recently interviewed by For The Win. During the interview, he spoke on a wide variety of topics about his wrestling and acting career. One of the most intriguing parts of the interview is when he was asked about the controversial ending to his Summerslam match against Brock Lesnar.
The match between Orton and Lesnar ended in a TKO after Orton was busted open by some vicious elbows. Orton needed 10 staples in his head and it was later revealed that he suffered a concussion.
Here is what Orton said about the match against Lesnar:
“I think with Lesnar, it’s always going to be him coming in every few months as a monster who destroys guys who work 200 days a year … There is a tendency for that to get old. I could have looked a little better that night and that would have helped me a lot regardless of the finish and not hurt Brock’s character at all. But the fact that you’re asking me about it three-four months later, means we created a buzz. But the fact that I had a concussion and was out for three weeks and wasn’t able to do anything pissed me off”

He continued:
“We say this a lot in the back when someone gets hit harder than intended, we knew what we were signing up for. It’s a rough sport. It’s a rough business and very physical. A few more people need to respect how things can go sour out there”
