Referring to his release from WWE, McIntyre says Orton never struggled in his life but McIntyre knows what it’s like to wonder where your next paycheck is coming from, something the coddled Orton never had to struggle with. Since Orton declared himself the best wrestler ever after defeating Edge at Backlash, now McIntyre must be the greatest ever since he has beaten Orton now.
