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 "e;Rowdy"e; Roddy Piper or Andre the Giant sitting at the table. The wrestlers were friends of Randy's father, a wrestling star known as "e;Cowboy"e; 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 "e;The Viper"e; through his spectacular career. Large, full-color action photos and an engaging narrative text will keep readers turning the pages.
