Randy Orton sent home from European tour?

Dave Scherer of PwInsiderElite.com reported the following:

We have heard from two sources today that Randy Orton has been sent home from the current European tour. As the story goes, there was reportedly severe
damage done to a hotel room and the blame was pinned on Orton. He was announced as being too sick to wrestle at last night's house show. We are looking
to confirm more details that we have heard concerning the story this afternoon as well.

I've got a few comments.



The following assumes that the report is accurate, however some of these things are still true even if he wasn't sent home for bad behavior.

You kind of had to wonder when the next Orton screw-up was going to come. This man was suspended shortly after Wrestlemania 22 for in appropriate behavior, and has not been known to have the best of all possible attitudes to put it nicely.

WWE is in a weird position here. They want to punish him, but they are not so willing to release him outright as they see him as a valuable talent that TNA would sign in a second or more accurately 90 days.

I'm not saying that Orton knows this and thus thinks he's got leverage over the company because I'm sure if he became someone they deamed was not worth their trouble, he would be gone. I mean is there anyone on the WWE roster who could get released tomorrow, go to TNA and make any kind of a difference? I would argue that the gap is so wide that it would have to be a combination of Cena, Michaels and HHH and even that might not be enough to close the gap all that much.

It will be interesting to see what else comes of this.
