Orton in a mask or without it can't carry the jockstrap of first ever NXT Season 1 winner and former leader of the Nexus and Corre as well as the Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett. Randy Orton in 2003 vs Wade Barrett in 2011: Barrett has the advantage due to his strength and currently at 31 years old opposed to Orton in 2003 at age 23 not at his prime yet like he is now at 31 years old.
@21richkid well u do know wwe is scripted so they gotta follow wut the writters say they have to do so its not ortons fault orton cuz prob beat the shit out of barret in a real fight and anybody can be a wade barret even zack ryder if wwe writters tell him to do that then he has to its not orton fault u gotta realize that
I thought Evolution lasted longer than this, but let me know if I'm mistaken: Ric Flair turned heel during this episode, so this is when Evolution formed? And then in the summer of 2004, Randy Orton got kicked out of Evolution and turned face. So Evolution as a four-man stable only existed for a little over a year?
@spinemelter2000 They weren't officially formed until Batista joined the group and came down to the ring to destroy Tommy Dreamer. They gave a little speech after the beat down. If I'm not mistaken that happened either the next week or the week after
@spinemelter2000 The only reason the original DX lasted as long as it did was because of line-up changes. October 1997-April 1998: HHH, HBK, Chyna. April 1998-April 1999: HHH, Chyna, X-Pack, Outlaws. April 1999-July 1999: X-Pack, Outlaws. So the original DX didn't last long either. JBL's Cabinet, Legacy, Hart Dynasty, and La Familia were other stables with potential that didn't last as long as Evolution.
@spinemelter2000 feb 2003-march 2005 2 years my friend 0rton was kicked from evolution in last august 04 and evolution finally ended in march 05 when batista turned on triple h n power bombed him through a table at the contract signin
@spinemelter2000 although orton returned in may 2003 n batista returned in nov 2003 evolution was formed in feb 2003 as a means of takin care of scott steiner
@spinemelter2000 batista was a recruit of ric flair in dec 02 and they picked up orton n late jan 03 the 4 man stable ended in late august 04 n finally ended for good in mar 05 sorry i sent s0 many comments dawg
@matter928 It was most likely gum. Wrestlers like to chew on it on the way to the ring. But I thought they spit it out before they wrestle so they don't choke on it? idk.
Ric flair sucks why do people even like him so much

Nobody can bring the emotion into a show like Jim Ross. Michael Cole and the King are capable, but there's nobody that does it better than JR.
