This time, however, Orton’s in the news for a completely different reason. WWE announced on Thursday that it had recruited 14 people to its Performance Center, who aspires to become Superstars in the near future.

One among the 14 is a North Carolina grappler named David Bostian. He has been a folkstyle wrestler for 16 years and has a powerlifting background. It is his looks however, that has caught the attention of the fans.

WWE Universe is in awe of how similar the facial features of Bostian align with The Viper Orton. Bostian has an uncanny resemblance to how Orton used to look when he came to WWE.

Twitter has been buzzing ever since photos of David Bostian surfaced on the internet

David Bostian is 23 years old and has been involved in wrestling for quite some time. He has the credentials to make it big in WWE someday but for now, he is turning into a household name thanks to his resemblance in facial appearance to the Legend Killer.

There are some high-profile names in the list of the 14 fresh recruits. There’s former WWE Superstar Santino Marella’s daughter Bianca Carelli and former ROH Women’s World Champion Rok-C aka Carla Gonzalez. Carla who is just 20 years old, graduated from Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling school as the youngest ROW Diamonds Champion. David Bostian’s name, however, has been doing the rounds more than anyone else.

We take a look at how fans have been reacting to the striking similarity between Bostian and Orton in terms of their facial looks.
