Randy Orton On How Much Longer He Wants To Wrestle, Having More WWE World Title Reigns In Him
As noted, WWE Superstar Randy Orton was a guest on Tom Clark's Main Event podcast. During the show, Orton talked a bit about his future career plans.
According to Orton, he would like to continue to wrestle for 10 more years.
"For the immediate future and, s–t, for 10 more years, I would love to, if I'm able to, wrestle. This is what I enjoy doing." Orton continued, "the day of a pay-per-view when you're thinking of what you can do and then you get the payoff, the reward, that night. It's a different animal. That live audience is a different animal. You grow as a WWE Superstar and really appreciate the reactions we pull out of these fans."
When asked whether he would join in the chase to beat Ric Flair's record world championship reigns, the 12-time world champion said he definitely has a few more title runs left in him. Orton went on to say that titles are merely "icing on the cake" at this point in his decorated professional wrestling career.
"I've definitely got a few more [world title reigns] left in me. I'd say maybe even a handful. It [has] been two-and-a-half, three years since I had the big title around my waist, but being tag champs now, the last time I was tag champs and the only time before was in 2007, so going on 10 years later I get my second run as tag champ and that's cool. Do you know what I mean? s–t, I'd go fight for the I.C. title or whatever title they put in front of me, it's an honor to hold that title."
Orton added, "if I never won it again, that would be okay with me. I'm a 12-time world champion. I've accomplished so much in the WWE. I just go out there and continue to entertain people and get my kids excited because they get to watch daddy on TV, those kinds of rewards, that's what I'm doing it for now. Any gold around my waist, that's just icing on the cake."
