I agree, they used to draw it out and give little hints along the way and then at a PPV have the turn go full force and it kept you guessing and interested.
For HHH/Orton, I'd have had Orton in a few matches and HHH and Evo. interfere and cause him to win by interference and not on ability. That would get him upset and wanting to prove himself, while HHH keeps telling him he has the belt ONLY because HHH lets him have the belt. Then a PPV or 2 before WM have HHH and Evo come out to interfere and Orton instead attacks them with his opponent. This draws out the face turn and makes it more legit. Keeps fan interest because as the storyline builds you see Orton go through phases of doubting himself and then realizing he doesn't need HHH and Evo.
A big problem now is the WWE's writers don't know how to write storylines and draw them out. Everything happens now and if there's a problem they ignore it. It does get very predictable and boring.
But I also see the WWE's side and that is right now especially on RAW they lack a true face and Orton (like him or not) is getting good pops. I just think he needs a little more seasoning on the mic and he might be as big as Rocky or Austin. But nobody for a very long time will be as big or mean as much to wrestling as Hogan in his prime. If anyone thinks Orton can do that.....I don't think it'll happen.
