In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Randy Orton spoke about the upcoming A&E Biography: Legends episode on him and what fans can expect. He said,
“I dug a little deeper on some of these questions. It’s not the same old s*** that you’ve already heard for two decades. I talked more about what that bad conduct discharge from the United States Marine Corps was all about. Now you’ll know what happened to lead up to that.
“I’m not as closed off as Undertaker was. But I haven’t done enough of letting people in. I’m older, a little more mature, and letting the fans get to know me better is only a good thing.”
Orton joined the Marines after graduating High School in 1998. He received a bad conduct discharge after going AWOL twice and disobeying an order.
In the interview, Orton also discussed the allegations against Vince McMahon and said the claims of misconduct leveled against the ex-Chairman hurt his heart.
