Randy Ortan is 'underutilized' due to a major reason, says WWE Hall of Famer

Randy Ortan was often surrounded by controversy in his early days, whether it was breaking a few rules or violating the company's policies. Despite these things, Randy Ortan not just survived, he improved and became a reputable name backstage.

In a recent interview with The Escapist, WWE Hall of Famer Ric flair discussed about her daughter, Charlotte Flair, During their conversation Flair revealed that Randy Ortan comes close to his daughter in terms of in-ring skills and physical shape in the WWE.

"The only person who I think is close to her, when he is on and healthy, when you think about in-ring timing and knowing where you are all the time, is Randy Orton. Randy’s really underutilized," Flair said.

Ric Flair believes that there is a possibility that Ortan made somebody mad along the way, which could be one of the reasons why The Viper is underutilized as a talent in the promotion.

"I don’t know. I think maybe he made somebody mad along the way. Randy’s not afraid to say what he thinks, and that’s not always popular," Flair said. [H/T - The Escapist]

The Hall of famer had a long journey with the company, which means his statement could be true.
