7. Evolution Solution

Revealed on footage previously tucked away in WWE's vast vault during research for Triple H's 'Thy Kingdom Come' profile piece, Mark Jindrak was originally pencilled in to be the fourth member of Evolution as Triple H and Ric Flair prepared to reinvent the Four Horsemen concept for the post-Attitude Era generation.

Unthinkable now without the impactful 'Animal' in their ranks, the group were already destined to devastate with 'The Game' and the 'Nature Boy' at the helm and can't-miss prospect Randy Orton along for the ride. Though the ex-WCW starlet was young, hungry and ripped to shreds (in an era where such a physique was an expectation rather a bonus) Jindrak modestly admits now he 'wasn't ready' for the spot at the time it was handed to him.

The sentiment was presumably felt by the remaining trio ahead of unveiling Big Dave as their definitive fourth man. Unlike the former 'Natural Born Thriller', Batista was irreplacable.
