Why Was Evolution so popular
I am sitting here watching Wrestlemania 20 and I'm sitting here wondering why Evolution was so popular. I want to know your opinion of it

'They had a great recipe for success':
Triple H - Main event heel to rule it and piss people off Ric Flair - There because of HHH really, but gives something for the older marks Randy Orton - The cocky bastard you wanna hit in the face multiple times Batista - Dumb muscle who is supposed to come off as 'scary' Its just an 'Every type of heel' fest, but what can I say, it worked great. |

Yeah, that was from a marks point of view kinda, although saying that you can get marks to hate anything without much effort. I dont see Orton as a good heel simply because he is probably like that in real life, so he doesn't try to be an ass, it just comes naturally. At least its effective though I guess. |

It was fans in the audience who popped for Flair. It was fans in the audience who popped for Bats, even when the IWC hated him (Trust me, I defended the faggot). Similarly, it was fans who didn't buy him as a face, and still hated him....Though this time, the IWC seemed to be pretty much on the same page. |

Well, perfect as in extremely effective, yeah. But for someone to be a good heel (In my book) would have to try to be an ass, and do it well. Rather than just stand there and get heat because he is a cocky bastard. |

I don't think it matters why people hate him, as long as he puts asses in the seats at the same time.
It's not exactly like he's getting X-Pac heat, far as we can tell. |

I liked Evolution because WWE needed a good stable. Most people liked them because they were kind of a knockoff of the Horseman which was the point of Flair in there and Orton was the best up and comer at the time, a lot of people liked him and I still do.

Evolution ended too quickly. Orton was getting over big as IC champ and with his fueds with Foley, but then they jumped the gun and made him champ, a face, and fueded him with HHH. They should have ran with it, and put the belt on Orton after him turning on HHH and becoming the new leader of Evolution, allowing a face HHH to put him over and lead to a legitimate run.
They fucked everythign up and, IMO, Orton and Batista were prematurely made stars and now they're starting to fade out. |

Evolution bored me, it was just their theme music that made them partly entertaining to me, also Ortons IC title run was good to watch but that's about it.

Randy Orton was awesome from the 2004 Royal RUmble until a month before Summer Slam 2004. Within a span of a month they killed Orton's credibility and character just because they needed a transitional champ in order to get the belt off of Benoit and back onto Triple H.

Carlito does have a future in the main event. As long as he stays around and doesn't do anything to fuck up his career in the WWE, he's going to be one of thier main guys within a couple of years. The WWE over pushed him too soon, but luckily he didn't get a Chris Masters type push. It's too bad they don't really know what to do with him right now. I say have him feud with Shelton, Hardy, Nitro, and other IC guys and build the IC title and these guys into future main eventers. |

Its a shame to see something messed up like that. Orton remains a main eventer and has the potential to be big again, but not like he could have been. Similar to what they've done with a few other guys. I think the WWE underestimates the importance of an up and coming stars first title push/reign. Biggest 2 screwups I would say are Orton and Jericho.
Great idea, they're way over as heel/face respectively, so they switch it around right when its time to get the belts and feed them to HHH. I'm pleased they kept Edge a heel when they let him get the belt, but both times thus far they've taken it off him prematurely. |

Keeping Edge a heel is easy. Nobody likes him.
Jericho entertains, so he eventually gets cheers. Orton and Cena entertained, so they eventually got cheers. WWE knows how to keep someone face or heel when the reactions are universal. But when they're not, WWE gets all confused. Hell, they don't even understand "boring" chants or no reactions. |

They suck in that department. They think just because people cheered Austin and Rock as heels, and then when made faces they exploded, that that will be the case for any heel whos entertaining. They need to learn that the fans just love to hate some guys.

See I really think Orton could've gone over as champ but he got fucked up the ass by HHH's politicing.

Wow Trips politicking is more powerful than I thought... You mean to tell me he can now manipulate the perception of the entire audience into believing that Orton is a shit face?

well next to him, really most heels do look like shit faces, and Orton had the natural talent to make it easily possible.

Orton was a face against heel HHH. Heel HHH gets arena-level boos for only shaking once after a piss. If he can't get face pops against that, something's wrong.
Look at Orton's face. Look at his bizarre build. Look at that shit eating grin. He would have to STOP SMILING to get a good face reaction. He would have to never be happy. He would have the emo kid's working hero to get any sort of less-than-hatred reaction from anyone short of his personal fanbase. Or wear a mask. Maybe, someday, in the future where I have a flying car that runs on water and farts, Orton will be good at being a face. For right now, though...and especially during his Evolution days and the handful of months following... Well, turning Orton face is retarded. |
