Items related to Randy Orton (Wrestling's Tough Guys)
As a child growing up in St. Louis, Missouri, Randy Orton's house was often full of wrestlers. Sometimes Randy would walk into the kitchen and see “Rowdy” Roddy Piper or André the Giant sitting at the table. The wrestlers were friends of Randy's father, a wrestling star known as “Cowboy” Bob Orton. Randy's grandfather and one of his uncles were wrestlers, too. Wrestling ran in the family, so it was no surprise when Randy decided to become a wrestler. And it didn't take long for his career to take off—Randy became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history by defeating Chris Benoit when he was just 24 years old. In Randy Orton, young readers will follow “The Viper” through his spectacular career. Large, full-color action photos and an engaging narrative text will keep readers turning the pages. Randy Orton is part of Bearport's Wrestling's Tough Guys series.

From School Library Journal:
Gr 3-5-Beginning with curiosity-piquing openers, these flashy biographies will grab and hold readers' attention. Writing with classic, dramatic sports jargon, Sandler covers the subjects' childhoods to present careers and includes information about their schooling and other accomplishments. The captioned color photos are clear, action-filled, and eye-catching. The layout is well balanced, with additional interesting factoids or definitions included in text boxes. Words in bold type are defined in the glossaries. However, there is no mention of the staging involved in professional wrestling, leading readers to believe that the sport is all about physical skill. The violence inherent in the sport is depicted and described. Stats and "Fun Facts" are listed.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
