Description

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. 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.

Interactive features such as pop-up word definitions, multi-touch zoom, and interactive study cards deliver an experience beyond the printed book.
