Interesting undercurrent gimmick to Evolution - while Randy Orton, as a third generation superstar, made the most since from a genetic's perspective, Batista was also billed as a "genetic revolution" because of how ripped he was and Triple H had believed himself "born better" as early as his Blueblood days. Rounding this group off was the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, who being a nature boy literally meant everything was natural to him and he was, like the others "born this way".
Unlike the Four Horsemen, which was about having a group of men who believed they were the best in general protecting each other, Evolution was actually an extension of Triple H's viewpoint that some people just have "it" from birth. It was a stable based entirely around eugenics.
>yfw Triple H vs. Eugene had this as its entire subtext, right down to Eugene's name being literally eugenics.
Also, the idea that some are born better has now influenced the Wrestlemania main event in storyline, which is also why Triple H has it out for Daniel Bryan.
Triple H being a eugenicist is pretty much confirmed and stayed a part of his character for his entire run. It would also explain his desire to be part of the McMahon's bloodline.
>teamed with an attractive alpha male blonde and Chyna, a woman seen as a genetic freak for her ability to fight men
>the Booker T Wrestlemania feud
>the use of Christian imagery, particularly the Iron Cross
>the use of Norse mythology from a character design point
>why he supports Randy Orton, and now Batista (who, just this Friday, said he was born better than anyone else and deserved to be top dog)
>marrying into the McMahons, the closest thing to a royal bloodline in wrestling
>idolizing Ric Flair, a blonde haired superman with all the wealth and power anyone could want, but was apparently born with these abilities
>Evolution in its entirety, including the feud with Eugene
>the name Hunter Hearst Helmsley - Hunter is self-explanatory, but Hearst is interesting. It's first use is in England during the reign of William the Conqueror, and who's family emigrated from England as nobles to land in New York City. Helmsley, meanwhile, is an indirect translation of a "shepard's clearing". Given that Jesus is referred to as both the King of Kings and a shepard, this leads to a rather apt general translation for his name that fits the theme of his whole career.
>Triple H believes himself to be Aryan Jesus come to cleanse the world of wrestling
