Bullshit. You lose all credibility when you say shit like that. 40 minute promos?

Orton and Batista are over only when Flair or Trips are around--the WWE knows that which is why you dont see a lot of solo TV time for those two.
Maybe you have a case with Batista, but Orton is 'over' without Flair and Triple H now. As far as Batista goes, he can easily get over whenever the WWE wants him to (due to his size).

So any kind of combo where Triple H and HBK are together will result in the other members being seen as sidekicks and secondary characters (sorta like NAO in DX) which might be right for Batista, but at this point would be serious setback for Orton.
Actually - the NAO comparison is a great one. . Think about the NAO for a second. Were the NAO completely 'buried', or did they steal have a meaningful role within the group? (and managed to get over).

Think about when DX first broke up.

DID BILLY GUNN RECEIVE A PUSH?!?!?!?!...........YES

Granted, Billy's defincies as a wrestler ultimately lead to his failed push, but he could've (and would've) been pushed to the moon.

Same thing with Orton here. He's not going to be main-eventing within the next half year anyways. With that being said, I fail to see why Orton (continuing) to play a secondary role for the next half year or so would be a "serious setback" to his career.

In my opinion, there is no difference between Orton being the leader of a mid-card stable (If Orton took over Evolution right now, that's what Evolution would be), or playing a secondary role within a MAIN-EVENT stable in Evolution (which is what we're seeing now).

And you still never acknowledged the fact that Orton can still be put in high profile feuds despite HBK's presence (either with Edge, Benoit, or Jericho).
