In 1980, Randy Orton, an American Wrestler was born
Randal Keith "Randy" Orton (born April 1, 1980) is a professional wrestler and actor most known to sports entertainment audiences for his work with WWE. Orton was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, to parents Bob Orton, Jr. and Elaine Orton. He is the grandson of wrestler-turned-musician Bob Orton, Sr. and the nephew of wrestler-turned-musician Barry Orton. His parents discouraged him from pursuing a career in professional wrestling because of the significant amount of time spent away from home and family. Orton, on the other hand, continued to wrestle on an amateur level while attending Hazelwood Central High School, and the rest is history.
