Mark Jindrak Disputes WWE Ruthless Aggression’s Account Of How He Was Taken Out Of Evolution
The story of how Mark Jindrak was removed from Evolution was documented on WWE Ruthless Aggression, but Jindrak has disputed the story. Jindrak was a guest on Café du Rene and talked about how the docuseries episode recounted his removal from the stable. Jindrak was featured in the episode, which was part of the show’s first season, but he took issue with how he was portrayed and disputed Triple H’s account of how he wasn’t the only person who didn’t want him. You can check out some highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:
On what the episode got right about him: “What was true was me and Orton, he obviously calls us jackoffs, and we were jackoffs. Renee will tell you, me and Orton would travel together. One time Rosey, god bless his soul, Rosey didn’t have his partner to travel with, I forget who he traveled with. He wasn’t on the tour one week and he asked me if he could hop in with me and Orton, I was like, ‘yeah sure.’ By the time we got to Raw, he f**king dipped in another car. He was like, ‘you guys are too much, man.’ And we were, we were too much.
“We goofed off too much, chasing girls too much. They were right to split us up because we probably would have continued. And as soon as they split us up, he took it a little more seriously and he was a World Champion not long afterward.”
On Triple H’s claim that he and Ric Flair didn’t want Jindrak in Evolution: “It was kind of funny how Triple H was so blatant, ‘Yeah, me and Ric didn’t want him in the group.’ It wasn’t Ric, because I can tell stories when me and Orton were in the car riding with Ric and Triple H. The problem was Trple H wanted to talk about f**king hot tags and s**t. A three-hour ride he wanted to talk about armbars and hot tags and s**t for three hours, and I understood it. He wanted to talk x’s and o’s, but Flair wanted to talk about young stuff like girls and clubs. So when he said, ‘me and Flair thought it was a bad idea,’ it was just Triple H.”
On how he was portrayed in the episode overall: “The portrayal was kind of weak as well. If you watched that thing if you weren’t a wrestling fan. Or you didn’t know that I went from Mark Jindrak to Marco Corleone, you would think, ‘I would put $100 that this guy’s a crackhead in about a year.’
“They make it look like it was the end all be all, ‘he didn’t make Evolution so he must have killed himself.’ It wasn’t like that at all. I went and regrouped, and fucking went to Mexico and had a great career for myself. That’s the portrayal, but they’re always going to do that.”
