A WWE former superstar recently talked about his relationship with Randy Orton. He affirmed that The Viper legitimately hated him.
Tank Toland (previously known as James Dick) had a three -year race in the company based in Stamford, during which he fought in OVW and SmackDown. In a recent interview in the Podcast Wrestling Then And Nowthe 51 -year -old man said he was the first to receive an Orton RKO when they faced OVW.
Meanwhile, the ex -sister revealed that he was recently talking about the business with his girlfriend when he told him that the 14 times world champion had a problem with him, which he learned later. He said that, although everyone seemed to please him when he was in OVW and WWE, he somehow fell badly to the legendary 44 -year -old fighter:
“Today, I was talking to my girlfriend about, you know, the business and things like that. And I said, yes, Randy Orton, man, simply, for some reason I did not like. I told him that nobody said that I did not like up there. Everyone seemed to please them. And I said, but Randy Orton, for some reason, I learned that I had a problem with me. I said, I don't know why. But I discovered it later.
Toland recalled an incident before an OVW show in Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom that told him that it was the reason why Orton did not like him. He pointed out that they asked The Viper from his trailer, which the latter probably thought it was an order:
“He was in the same trailer as Danny Davis. He said: 'Hey, can you do a favor? Can you go and look for Randy? I need to talk to him about the fight.' And I was like, 'yes, no problem.' So I only went to the other trailer, I said: 'Hey Randy, Danny needs to see you when you have a moment.' And he said: 'Okay.' Supposedly, he felt that he was being a bonus guy telling him what to do. And I was like, 'I'm just doing what they told me.' ”(1:55 – 3:05)

Despite admitting that Randy Orton did not like him, Tank Toland praised The Viper for his work in his interview with El Podcast Wrestling Then And Now.
WWE's ex -souply gave credit to the 14 -time world champion for his longevity in the wrestling business and for not following an acting career in Hollywood as some of his classmates:
“I think she is a great fighter, a great worker. I think she is fantastic and she is someone who stayed with the business. He was there, you know, practically, he did not go to Hollywood or anything like that. I'm not sure if he had the same opportunities as some of the other types had, but, you know. So I give credit for being a true pillar in the business,” he said. (3:08 – 3:31)
Orton is currently out of action due to an injury he suffered at the hands of Kevin Owens. WWE's Fame Hall of Fame, Bully Ray, recently discussed whether The Viper could return to win the Royal Rumble and challenge Cody Rhodes in Wrestlemania 41. It would be interesting to see when the legendary 44 -year -old fighter will return to television.
