In case you missed it, reports came out yesterday about an alleged altercation between Randy Orton and a fan at a Jonesboro, Arkansas gym on Monday, Jan. 16.
There were two accounts of how the Viper interacted with guys wanted to snap a quick picture with him. Neither really refuted the other, since they were recounting two separate incidents. But Orton has now commented via Twitter, and it pretty much completes the scene - at least for me.
Approach him after his workout, or at least between exercises, and nicely ask for a pic - maybe while mentioning what it would mean to your kid - as Paul DeFord told WrestleZone he did... get a pic.
Come up to him mid-exercise, get signals he doesn’t want to be disturbed, then slide across the room to take some pictures anyway... get called a m*****f*****.
Apparently I hurt a fans feelings when I told him to F off at the gym yesterday. That's news? Been happening for 15 years. #getalife

I paid to train. In between every set, I can't take pics. He needs to suck it the F up and go to the gym to train not be a fan boy. https://t.co/I8rFn5N8qO

My sentiments exactly. Not to mention he had nothing to say then. Had to wait to use twitter like a B$tch https://t.co/ljq07A3SZB

Randy even explains the rules to one Twitter fan:
@RandyOrton if I see you at a gym you better take a pic with me. I'm too much of a fan to let you leave without asking.

Seems pretty clear, no?
