Sigmund Freud On Ritalin And Roids
We all know that Randy Orton was kicked out of Evolution the night after winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslam in 2004. His former Evolution member Batista would go on to win the Royal Rumble in 2005 and beat HHH for the title Orton would have a failed face run after winning the title and Batista would be white hot before he won his. Now they are arguably the best heels on their respective brands and both have had pretty successful careers.
How would things have turned out if the roles were reversed? I believe Orton would have been better off first than Batista because he was having great matches with Foley and Edge before he even won the title. Batista wasn't hot until around November and I think he would have flopped holding the title just as Orton did. Batista would have taken a while to settle himself in and possibly would have turned heel again early like Orton. I still believe they would have ended up the same as they are now, just that Batista would take a while if he won the title in 2004 instead of Orton.
Would things have been different if Batista was the one kicked out of Evolution and Orton winning the title at WM 21? If so, what would be the paths of Batista and Orton and would either be at the same position they are today?
