“Being a bad guy comes easy,” Orton says in the clip. “It’s like second nature for me. Just knowing how to get under people’s skin. There’s a way that I get into the zone. And a lot of times, it meant bending over and holding my breath and pushing all the blood into my face.” Orton then shows the anger that is seen by WWE fans over the years.
