45-Year-Old Former Superstar Who Was Initially Planned to Join Evolution, Slams His WWE Career as “Mediocre” While Revealing the Reason Behind Missed Opportunity

Judging oneself is perhaps one of the toughest jobs to do. It requires the person to be completely honest with oneself and take into account every little detail for the final valuation. A former WWE superstar seemed to have managed it as he admitted that his time in the company was “mediocre”. The 45-year-old stated that he could have achieved a lot, but failed to do so due to certain reasons.

In a recent chat, he discussed what went wrong for him.

Mark Jindrak rues about missing out on Evolution spot

The Evolution was one of the most dominating stables in modern wrestling. Ric Flair, Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista terrorized their opponents on RAW from 2003 to 2005, before the group fell apart. However, Batista wasn’t slated to be one of the original members. Mark Jindrak, who made his WWE debut in 2001, was set to be the muscle of the group.

Yet, he was replaced by The Animal. During a recent appearance on Developmentally Speaking, the former superstar said it was his immaturity that cost him his spot in the stable.

I was kind of too immature. [Randy] Orton and I liked to joke around a lot and I think that hurt me and my chances … I’m not going to point fingers at anyone, it was mainly my blame. I didn’t take the opportunity I had and run with it,” he said.

This had a direct impact on his WWE stint, as Jindrak didn’t reach the heights he was supposed to. “I look back on it now and it was mediocre,” he said about his WWE run. However, the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion said it could have been different with a run alongside Triple H and his troops. “Obviously, with Evolution that could have been a big feather in my cap,” he added.

Years later, the 45-year-old revealed his observations about Triple H and said ‘The Game’ was right about dropping him, though he called it a blatant burial.

Recently, a WWE Hall of Famer revealed the possible reason that might have played a part in Batista being picked over Jindrak.

Jindrak made his WWE debut a year prior to Orton. While Orton was a part of Ohio Valley Wrestling, Jindrak came as part of ‘The Alliance’ after Vince McMahon bought the WCW in 2001. The two wrestlers admittedly got along well. They started hanging out and crossed the line on more than a few occasions.

During a recent episode of Kevin Nash’s Kliq This podcast, Big Kev said Orton and Jindrak were bringing girls to the arena, which was a big no for talents. The nWo legend further detailed that he would drive the two around.

The actions caused the seniors in the locker room to get angry with the two new talents. Jindrak was released by the WWE in 2005.

Would his career have been any different had he become a member of Evolution? Let us know in the comments.
