RKO
Golden Age studio
RKO, short for Radio-Keith-Orpheum, was a major American film studio during Hollywood's Golden Age, producing classics like *Citizen Kane* and *King Kong*.
The studio declined in the 1950s.
In professional wrestling, RKO is a finishing move—a jumping cutter—named for wrestler Randy Keith Orton, whose initials match the studio's.
