Randy Orton on WrestleMania vs The Super Bowl: “Super Bowl Ain’t Got S**t on WrestleMania”

February 5, 2017

Following his big Royal Rumble match win last Sunday night at WWE Royal Rumble, WWE star Randy Orton spoke with NBC Washington after an appearance at the Washington Auto Show.

During the interview, which you can check out in full at this link and in the video below, Orton discussed the importance of the young fans in the WWE Universe, as well as playing a “villain” on WWE TV.

Orton was also asked to compare the Super Bowl to WrestleMania, as both events are the two grandest stages in the NFL and WWE, respectively. On the comparison, Orton had the following to say:

“Wrestlemania is the Super Bowl of wrestling. Winning the Royal Rumble is getting into the Super Bowl of wrestling. Screw the Super Bowl, we’re talking about Wrestlemania. Super Bowl ain’t got s**t on Wrestlemania. Wrestlemania is the biggest show on earth, the greatest show on earth, and I feel like everyone knows that.”

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films.
