You're comparing Evolution to the Cabinet? Sorry, I can't buy that. The reason people can't really be elevated in JBL's cabinet is the overall lack of interest. A guy who's actually WORSE off than Triple H. IS that your argument? Would these folks have benefitted from the same pushes differently had only the head of their "stable" changed?
No. Orton was benefitted by a good push, strong wins, and some choice moments. OJ has been elevated more by being a younger black version of the NAture Boy...Buttmonkey to the champ. |
Eh? Orlando drove who where now?
Although it's become clouded along the way, my point is that Orton is years ahead of where he would be now if he wasn't in that particular stable headed up by HHH.
Granted, there are reasons why OJ will never be as accepted or over as Orton. He lacks the look, he wrestles for an inferior brand, he doesn't have the family history, he's from a minoirity, whatever. The fact that I believe Orton is better over from being in a stable lead by HHH, and that being in any other stable lead by anyone else (whether JBL, Angle or whomever) wouldn't have helped his career half as much.
Besdies, Orton would never have been in a position to get those 'strong wins' if he wasn't in HHH's gang.
