The other day, Randy Orton retweeted an annoying post by Ohio Valley Wrestling trainer Rip Rogers that “criticizes” current independent wrestling.

Bubba Ray Dudley then posted this, a seemingly lighthearted post making fun of himself:
Dive…🤘 pic.twitter.com/kr4q9iWFWq

Randy Orton responded pretty maliciously:
Lol there is a difference between a young hungry talent diving and an old outta shape 'vet' …….falling https://t.co/RE81C5sm3z

Dear @RandyOrton … my tweet had ZERO to do with you. Looks like you were wrong…again. You're still awesome 👍

Orton, who puts on some of the most consistently boring main event matches in WWE (imho), then posted this, taking more shots at indie wrestling and basically saying, “I’m better than you because I make more money than you.”
I really need to issue an apology…. pic.twitter.com/N8NqRZu9Es

In a 2008 interview with “WrestleCast,” Randy Orton also took shots at Dudley, saying: “I never liked him. I never liked what he did because he only thought of himself. Bubba Dudley is the most out of shape, fat, non-work-ethic-having person I knew. And you had a bad taste in your mouth when you met him.”
