Details on Ortons 60-day suspension revealed

    Got the following from Top-rope.com:
    The reason behind Randy Orton's 60-day unpaid suspension back in April has finally been revealed - and it was revealed by Randy Orton himself. As it turns out, the "straw that broke the camel's back" that lead to his suspension was when he decided to smoke a rolled marijuana cigarette backstage at the March 28, 2006 SmackDown taping in The Kemper Arena in Kansas City prior to WrestleMania. Bruce "Brother Love" Prichard found out about it and he notified WWE officials. Orton was already in hot water with management and that action was the final straw that lead to his 60-day suspension.

    Orton revealed the reasoning behind his suspension in the September 2006 issue of WWE Magazine - which features Trish Stratus on the cover. Here is Orton's response regarding the suspension:

    Why are you always acting like such an ass?

    I'm not anymore. Not since my 60-day unpaid suspension. My problems came to a head when I decided to smoke a joint and someone smelled it and stooged me off. You know who you are, so if you're reading this, thanks. But I also had a few outbursts of anger on the road. I get loud and verbally abusive. But I've nipped that part of me in the bud.

    How so?

    I attended an anger management clinic in Atlanta. It cost 15 grand for a four-week stay. I had to live down there on the campus. The first week I was there, I was like, OK, I'll do what I have to do to get out of here." But then I started to realize, wow, I was wrong in a lot of these situations. I just got this reputation of being hard to work with, being a dick and everything in the book. But the truth is, I don't flip out anymore.

    Orton also talks about his run-ins with Rochelle Loewen and Amy Weber, being "God's gift to women," getting "too much too soon," fines, and much more in the latest issue of WWE Magazine.

    Thought it would have been something more than that but the WWE were probably lookin an excuse to suspend him to put him in his place i guess. Thx anyway, that was bugging me that i didn't know :D

    ^ Yeah, thats true. Your interviewing a guy who previously had problems with anger managment for god's sake! Plus, you just don't say that sort of thing in an interview. Good manners cost nothing.

    They're probably just tryin to go for a kind of "worked shoot" style for the magazine though. They probably didn't even ask him that question. Actually, it's crossed my mind readin WWE.com sometimes, in certain interviews where the wrestler's in character, I'd say they don't actually interview them at all, they just write down whatever the creative team or whoever's in charge think sounds right
