Trivia / Bob Orton Jr.

• Role-Ending Misdemeanor: What would ultimately happen with his 2005 WWE stint. As a teenager, Orton was diagnosed with hepatitis C, but showed no apparent symptoms and had no knowledge he still had the disease. But over 30 years later, with Bob helping his son, Randy Orton, feud with The Undertaker, he was tested and it showed he still had the disease. Taker was furious, as during the feud, Orton spilled blood on him, putting Taker in danger of contracting the disease. He would be finally let go in February 2006. ^note  And to add fuel to the fire, apparently John Laurinaitis supposedly knew Orton had the disease, but nevertheless went through with having Orton bleed on the Taker. And Laurinaitis suffered no repercussions for the mess.
