Yeah I like him a lot I usually hate when wrestlers come to espn because the way they speak to the wrestlers always feels a little off or forced like they’re putting on a front because they clearly don’t watch but this one felt like the guy was actually interested in the convo not just putting on a show because wrestlers are here!

Credit to ESPN for hiring an actual knowledgeable and respectful pro wrestling fan in Joe Tessitore. Finding an excellent interviewer who also knows and loves wrestling is NOT easy or common.

he's Joe Tessatore the man used to be the head announcer for Monday Night Football on ESPN couple years ago. He also call the 2 - 3 best college football game of the day on ESPN as well. He has a very impressive resume and he also calls huge boxing fights. For him to have this kind of knowledge in pro wrestling is crazy.

This was a good interview. Kudos to the interviewer asking clear and concise questions. Orton is a beast he looks better, bigger and heavier.

Great interviewer. First thing I noticed from him was when Randy was talking about coming back and being hesitant, then realizing he’s still got it and really getting back into things, he interrupted for the first time to say that part fascinated him (it fascinated me too) and kept Randy on that.

Tess interviewing is simply amazing

I just love how he changed and got more "accessible" over time. Imo this is his best version.

If you compare Ortons run from 2009 and after that I say 2009 in WWE was his best work because of his feud with John Cena and the McMahon family, other than his run as WWE Champion

Randy's arms look so freakin amazing totally jacked !!!! I'm jealous lol. ORTON always been one of my top favorites. Hope he holds the world title again with a great run

i like randy he is so grateful for his life love that glad he is doing better health wise

Randy Orton is one of the all time greats, man. One of WWE’s greatest investments for over 20 years. To quote “The Game” Triple H talking about Randy Orton; “The coal that has now become a diamond.”

Great interview, Randy Orton is the man! A true legend, been competing at the top level for over twenty year and still going strong, great to see him back from injury and competing at WM 40.

About a year ago I started getting back into wrestling. I remember a very young Orton, hearing him now is insane. The level of grit and how deep his voice has become is nuts, he sounds so freaking cool.

Can we please have Joe Tessitore and Ariel Helwani interview wrestlers. I love the way that they ask thought provoking questions to wrestlers. It's more interesting than the standard mark questioning that you get at press scrums.

you are my favorite WWE Superstar I watched you over 20 years you are awesome I am 63 years old and I've watched wrestling ever since I was three-year-old and I love it God bless you and your family

The old Randy would have RKO’d that phone.

I grew up watching Randy Orton and him evolving as a person is what captivates me the most I’m glad to see him around more to grow talent as a leader

Excellent questions by Joe, great interview.

Outstanding interview by Joe! ESPN and wwe need to keep him on! Awesome to see Randy back to his best where he belongs, he could do this until his 70 if he wanted to… he is so safe and smooth in the ring.

So stoked U come back thanks for all that you do Randy Orton legend killer

The interviewer Joe Tessitore did an amazing job here. Definitely knowledgeable and genuine!

Recovery time is even faster if the muscle wasn't cut during spinal fusion. Glad Randy is doing better and what he loves 😊

I think when all is said and done that Orton truly will be considered one of the greats, he really is the last of his generation and loyal to the sense he has never jumped ship to another company, never gone part time, never left unless it was for injury. He’s a legend.

So good hearing randy talking about maturing and taking the most of his second chance. One of the all time greats

Randy the go-to guy for me to check out anything wwe these days. Hope he's around for many more years

He's super chill these days....

The kobe of the WWE. The black mamba and the viper.
