RKO to Cross Rhodes!

On this day: Despite being hit over the head with a barbed wire bat multiple times, landing back-first in a pile of thumbtacks and being thrown off the stage, Randy Orton pulls out a victory over Cactus Jack to retain his Intercontinental Championship in a career-defining match. (4/18/04)

Request by anon
“When we were in OVW, we thought we wouldn’t make it out of Kentucky. I don’t want to say we were two lost souls, but we were surrounded by talent that was one of the greatest developmental units to ever be assembled. We were literally just two average guys among some very gifted performers, and never once did we think we’d be headlining WrestleMania.”
