But it worked in the mid card and got guys like the Outlaws and X-pac over huge and made HHH a breakout star. Evolution might be a mid card stable if Flair and HHH get tossed, but Orton can cause trouble in the main event scene by getting in main event wrestlers faces, but he would still be wrestling with his I.C. title against other mid carders. Then he could go after Benoit later down the road. Orton has the egotistical young punk character that thinks he's better then everyone, so I don't see why he wouldn't call out the main event guys. He reminds me a lot of The Rock when he took over The Nation.

Now getting back to Evolution for a second. As I was saying about how DX got the Outlaws abd X-pac over, I think The "New Evolution" stable, if they add guys like Cade, Jindrack and Maven, could get them over as well. Except it would be a little bit tougher because they are a heel stable and not babyface. But I could see it working, especially for Jindrack and Cade. They all could basically have the young punk type of character. It would be great for the tag division to have a heel team like them. And rememeber the "New DX" was a heel when they first started out.

So all in all, I would leave Benoit out of the stable. But your right in that he needs a strong heel opponent to feud with before Orton can go after him. You think they can turn someone else heel or maybe even give Matt Hardy a little push, sort of like when Cena got a little push to face Brock fot the title.
Good post. The DX analogy is a good one (I was actually thinking about that comparison when I logged off to eat dinner ).

The question is, who do you elevate as a heel to face Benoit?

Kane is ok, but will the fans REALLY be into a Kane/Benoit feud? Also - will the fans really be interested in a heel Booker T going up against Benoit? (a re-hashed WCW feud). Jericho has just turned face and has something good going with Trish. Might be awkward to turn him heel. Ditto for RVD. The fans love RVD WAY too much.
