DDP Talks About Randy Orton’s RKO
Dallas Page appeared on the "Busted Open" radio show and recalled giving Randy Orton his blessing to use the Diamond Cutter finishing move, which became The RKO. "Randy and I are boys," Page said. "I called Randy up when I knew I was retiring from WWE. I loved his old man big time. His old man taught me a lot. I said, 'Bro, I want you to use this.' He was so respectful, he said, 'Diamond, I can't do that. You made that up.' I said, 'Dude, take it to another level.'
"I tell you what, if Randy wanted to hit that Diamond Cutter out of nowhere, he would. You know how fast he'd be a babyface? That fast. So he can't do it. People say, 'Oh, he doesn't do it like you.' No, he's doing his own thing. I'm flattered, honest to God, that he's going a version of what I've done. I think it's cool."

Orton Tells His Side of the Recent Fan Incident
Randy Orton posted the following message on his website about the alleged incident that took place after the Boston show at Kowloon’s restaurant:
“Here’s what happened: I walked out of Kowloon’s Friday night around 12:30-1 a.m. with Santino and a police officer escort. As I was being rudely hounded for pictures and autos (I had a 6:40 a.m. flight through Minni to Lincoln, then a drive to Omaha, a match, a drive back to Omaha, then a charter to Minni, and a driver to Rochester for the next show the next day, btw), I was confronted by an older women who said: ‘Hey Randy, you spit on my handicapped son a few years ago at a show, what do you have to say about that?’ My replay...`So Sue me.’ Then I proceeded to my car, with Santino and the cop and drove back to our hotel by the Boston airport. I know I have been a bit of a hothead in the past, but I DID NOT spit gum and call names to any child. The women is claiming I called her son a `retard’ 3 times, and spit gum in his face. Come on people, even at my worst temperament, I would never call a handicapped child something awful like that. I’ll actually sign anything for any child with any disability. I heard just today from WWE attorneys that this women filed assault charges against me 4 days later? Hmmm, oh, and what about the dozens of cops at the restaurant that were there for crowd control since there were over 100 wrestling fans there? Not to mention the cop that escorted me to my freaking car. I’ll be happy when this is over. I guess if I’ve learned anything from this, it is not to ever challenge anyone to sue me.”
