CMLL and former WCW star Mark Jindrak was recently a guest on David Penzer's "Sitting Ringside" podcast, and talked about how he very nearly joined the Evolution stable. It's no secret that Triple H decided he wouldn't be a good fit for the group, and that eventually led to him being replaced by Batista.
Jindrak even took part in Evolution photoshoots, and his career in WWE rapidly went downhill after he was expelled from the now iconic faction. That was covered in WWE's Ruthless Aggression documentary on the WWE Network, and Jindrak too issue with how that was handled.
"Basically, I was immature," he started. "Orton was immature. We had a lot of fun on the road. A lot of people thought it was humorous and loved our act. We would come to TV and show off and goof off. People loved it. People from Kane to a lot of top guys. The one person who hated it was Triple H."
"I thought the person that should have got kicked out of the group was HHH. He was boring as sh**. That’s the problem I had with the documentary, the Ruthless Aggression thing they did on Evolution. Triple H said he told Vince that he is not good for the group. Triple H kept saying him and Ric thought I wasn’t good for the group. It wasn’t Ric in any way, shape, or form. It was all Triple H. I felt these car rides were exposing Triple H for being a bore and non-charismatic."
"The other thing I didn’t like about that piece is they make it look like after I left WWE, that I became a homeless crackhead," Jindrak said of the documentary. "They never talk about that, well, he didn’t get over here, but he went to Mexico and had a great amount of success there."
It's easy enough to see where Jindrak is coming from here, but that entire series presented a very biased version of history, so it's no surprise it didn't exactly tell the story in a way this former WWE Superstar liked.
