Anybody like to see this Orton return

The cocky heel Randy Orton I think was a great roll for him and I loved that theme.

I was also thinking, and this may have been thought before, but how cool would it be to see Randy Orton reform Evolution and taking the place HHH did 10 years ago.

It worked incredibly well for the WWE last time around, they built two of the biggest stars in the company in Bautista and Orton.

If something like that were to happen, who would you guys put in the places of Flair, Bautista and Orton (Original roll as young gun)?. I guess basically you need a Legend, an enforcer and a young gun to go beside Orton.

Yes. That was the only time I was entertained by Orton. I was a big fan of him during his Evolution/Legend Killer days. He not only had a better character back then, he had actually had a personality. His promos back then were good, now they're sleep inducing ''my name is.... Randy Orton''.

Evolution worked so well because Triple H was a great leader, a despised heel and a amazing talker, Orton isn't that, so no I don't want to see a new Evolution with Orton as it's leader. It would basically be Legacy version 2 anyway, and I hated legacy, so no thanks.

Yeah but it's no question that Orton wants to be that despised heel, and I don't think it would be hard for him to do that. Having Evolution would change him back to his old ways character wise.

The main benefit of it like I said, would be the potential of building two new stars for the company like they did in the past.

But as I always say, there is a right way and a wrong way to do everything. It's a matter of figuring out which is the best. Never know, Orton may not work.

I think think it would kinda be cool to see Evolution ironically come full circle as Orton has gone from the future to the present. To me there is just so much potential fire behind doing that.

I would love it, but there isn't any good way to bring that gimmick back now. I enjoyed his promos and ring work a lot better back then too. There's a reason why Vince (most likely) saw him as the golden boy in 2004.

I'm not sure about the legend as there really arn't any that want to be semi active wrestlers and have that level of respect yet hatred. There are so many heels that could fit the cocky up and comer, naturally i'd say Rhodes but then it WOULD feel like Legacy 2.0. So my evolution 2.0 would be along the lines of.

A returning Flair - Legend
Orton - Top Dog
Ryback - Enforcer
Dean Ambrose - Cocky young gun.

Yeah I was kinda thinking something like that too, I mean it would be cool if HHH could play the roll of the legend, that way it would be even more like a full circle for Evolution.

Yeah but keep in mind, bringing back Evolution isn't just about Orton doing promos it's about everything that encompases it. There would be three other wrestlers in the group cutting promos and entertaining fans. In my opinion Orton could very much fill the role HHH did back in Evolution's first run.

Sorry, nothing beats this.

Legend Killer was the shit! But he's no leader like Flair or HHH. You have a better chance of that happening with Cena as the leader.

They would completely overshadow Orton though. Flair and HHH are too massive for orton.

You wouldn't have both Flair and HHH. You'd ideally have HHH. And I'd disagree based on the simple fact Flair didn't overshadow HHH in the original Evolution. Orton is a top draw in the company, HHH isn't going to overshadow him trust me.
