7 Reasons Why Evolution Is WWE's Best Stable Ever

2. They Won All The Titles

A good way to measure the success of a wrestling group is to look at all the championships that they won. When looking at Evolution's history of winning titles, there are few stables in wrestling history that can touch them in terms of all the gold they collected over the years. Triple H was the dominant heel World Champion from the moment he was handed the title in the fall of 2002. He was a top guy for about three years prior to that. Fans booed him, but he kept on winning. He brought credibility to the group as a current top guy. Randy Orton was a star on the rise that quickly became a top contender for the Intercontinental Title once he found his spot in Evolution. There was a certain confidence about him that few others had. Fans didn't like him because he was a heel, but he impressed a lot of people en route to becoming the IC Champ. Ric Flair was a former top guy who was in the twilight of his career, so they teamed him up with Batista to form the tag team of the group. It made a lot of sense since Flair was a crafty veteran worker while Batista was a power guy that didn't talk much, but he made an impact with his powerful arsenal of moves. Their most memorable evening in terms of holding titles was the Armageddon 2003 PPV event that ended the year. The group walked into the show with not titles in their position. Orton ended up winning the Intercontinental Title from Rob Van Dam, Flair & Batista won the Tag Team Titles in a match featuring other teams and Triple H ended the night by winning the World Title from Goldberg in a triple threat match also involving Kane. The night ended with Evolution holding all the gold as they showed just how dominant they were as a group. They knew their roles and they fit them perfectly. Often times roles aren't defined in groups like this, but with Evolution we knew what they were supposed to be.
