>>16208675It was important for putting over Triple H. That was what it was designed to do, allow him to LARP as Ric Flair with the four hoursemen despite not being equipped to shine Flair's shoes.
>putting over OrtonFoley and Taker did far more for Orton than Evolution did. His face turn and excommunication from the group in mid-04 was an abject failure. He tanked as a babyface and was still too green to be a maineventer, so all that move did was serve as a way to transition the belt back to Triple H while it would take Orton working subsequent programs with Taker and Angle, and teaming with Edge, to become a credible main eventer.
Triple H did a lot for Batista his lifting buddy, who he did put over on 3 consecutive occasions, but then was forced to the B brand while Triple H remained on RAW as the badass heel to challenge Cena at the next Mania before starting a nostalgia act with Shawn that occupied much of the programming on the A show for another year or two.
