    Fun fact: Rico beating Flair on an episode of Raw was the catalyst of Evolution being formed. After that match, Hunter told Flair that he was washed up and that joining him would bring back the glory days. Flair would manage Hunter and then they would later recruit Orton and Batista.

    To be fair, Rico beating Flair did serve a purpose.
    It led to HHH cutting a promo berating Flair for being past his best and for not having it anymore.
    At Unforgiven Flair turned heel on RVD, sided with Trips, which led to Evolution forming.
