By now, all of us who follow wrestling entertainment have beheld the reunion--the rebirth of a trio (minus the legendary Ric Flair) we have not seen together as a team since 2004: Evolution. I won't assign the label of "greatest force ever assembled in the WWE" but I think we here at this wiki can at least agree that Evolution was one of the more significant tag teams/stables of their original time.

Now my main point and question I post to our community is what are you views and feelings about this reforming of Evolution in 2014 WWE? Is this an intriguing enough rivalry they are pursuing with The Shield (who I see at this time are now fan favorites or "faces")? Is this Evolution reunion a good move or a bad one?

For myself, I feel this isn't one of the better reunions. It doesn't strike me as one that the fans of today are interested in. Clearly Batista has become a full-blown heel after such a failed push to recreate his standing in the WWE action. Certainly this isn't his best showing--older-looking now and nowhere near as hard-looking as he was during the time we knew him as "The Animal". Randy has been a heel for a considerably-long time since aligning with The Authority (another individual fans don't care at this time) and Triple H? I know not this man now who wears a suit and tie, shaved head and quite literally has gotten soft since his true "Cerebral Assassin" days. This recreation of Evolution does not appear incredibly promising but I will grant some measure of credit--- it was a reunion I did not expect to see, hear or read about. We'll see how the rest of this story unfolds as the "Evolution vs. Shield" rivalry continues.
