Anyway, I think that Evolution is fine the way it is right now. The only change I want to see is when Randy Orton eventually takes over the group and fueds with HHH. I think that Evolution is finally starting to emerge as a group of entertaining heels. In 2003, they were boring, but now they have been really great lately IMO. And Austin and HHH as the two man pwer trip wasn't that great IMO, so I don't want to see HHH and HBK hogging up the main events like HHH/Austin did 3 years ago.
If HBK joined Evolution, I don't think he'd 'hog' the main-event with Triple H. Think back to when Austin and Triple H had the two man power trip. Austin was world champ, while Trips was IC champ. Triple H jobbed to Jeff Hardy, and then jobbed to Kane (for right now, I'm ignoring the fact that Triple H squashed Jeff Hardy in the return match).

Now - think about this.

Randy Orton - heel IC champ
Triple H - heel World Champ
HBK - heel main-eventer, that feuds with main-eventers not currently feuding with Triple H.

So.........let's say Triple H is feuding with Chris Benoit, while Shawn Michaels is feuding with Edge. Let's say Triple H defeats Benoit, but Edge defeats Shawn Michaels. What do you have next? Edge is ready to face Triple H.....and looks like a credible opponent due to him defeating HBK

The reason why this won't work with Flair, is because Flair is seen WELL past his prime..........whereas HBK has been made to look on the same 'level' as Triple H in recent months.

Also - if Evolution consists of Triple H, HBK, Orton, and Batista for a long period of time, perhaps Batista and Orton can eventually split away from HBK and Triple H (HBK and Triple H being the faces, while Orton and Batista being the heels).

One reason why I don't like the idea of Orton taking over Evolution and then feuding with Triple H (by himself), is because Triple H may be hardpressed to get over as a face by himself (as evidenced by his face run from two years ago). Put HBK with Triple H however, and I'm sure the fans would love it.
