6 Forgotten WWE Superstars from the Ruthless Aggression Era you don't remember

#3: Mark Jindrak

Mark Jindrak was originally supposed to be a member of Evolution

Although Mark Jindrak didn’t make much of an impact in WWE, he has since become a huge star south of the US border in Mexico, where he is a former CMLL World Heavyweight Champion. It could have been quite different for Jindrak as he was originally slotted to be a part of the legendary Evolution faction, only to be replaced by Batista at the last moment.

While Batista ended up being one of the biggest stars of the Ruthless Aggression Era, Mark Jindrak was soon relegated to matches on Velocity. However, Jindrak’s career in WWE did have a bright start as he came in as part of The Alliance during the Invasion angle but it fizzled out after he lost his place in Evolution.

Jindrak then aligned himself with Kurt Angle and Luther Reigns for a brief period feuding with the likes of the Undertaker, Big Show and Eddie Guerrero for starters. But that angle soon fizzled out and Jindrak found himself back at square one.

After leaving WWE in 2005, Jindrak wrestled briefly in New Japan Pro Wrestling before going on to before a star with CMLL.

Mark Jindrak spoke out about losing his spot in Evolution on Twitter. Here's what he had to say:

“I wasn’t ready for Evolution at that time in my career. I was immature and Batista fit better. It was mine to lose and I dropped the ball. But since then I’ve matured and understood why I missed that chance and it’s helped me in my career which ended up in CMLL in Mexico."
