10 Wrestlers Who Were REJECTED For Famous Wrestling Gimmicks

The picture above is of a faction that never actually happened, but the mere fact that it exists at very least confirms that Mark Jindrak was at one point the nailed on fourth man in Evolution when the group were were launched in 2003.

Or does it?

It's one of several glimpses of a pilot version of the stable where Jindrak has been notably kept ever-so-slightly separate from the rest of the group. According to Randy Orton speaking on a career retrospective several years ago, his over-exuberance alongside the former WCW star was something Triple H had kept a close eye on during these original shoots, and Batista taking the spot certainly implies that 'The Game' didn't like what he'd seen.

A great wrestling what-might-have-been based on the existing footage, it's hard to picture the mid-2000s quartet as anything different than what they became, not least considering that it was 'The Animal' rather than 'The Legend Killer' that became the initial breakout star.
