NikoBaltimore Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I think it's a copout now for Gargano and Ciampa to be in this. I get it, they were Evolve guys, but it's not quite the same now that they signed exclusively with NXT. But hey, it's bound to lead to good matches so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. Did they announce when the Evolve qualifying matches are happening? If it's for the Joppa, MD show my excitement level will somehow be even more than it already it.

The Z Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 The EVOLVE qualifiers are on May 7th in New York. Sorry. I think Ciampa and Gargano still don't have a full-time WWE contract. They have the same contract Samoa Joe originally had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Strange, I could have sworn they signed exclusively. That's what I get for busy workday with little time to look into it. But I'm still going to have fun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Well, there was some confusion over that. There was an announcement during Wrestlemania week that Gargano and Ciampa had signed a contract, which most initially thought to be an exclusive contract, but later turned out to be a contract, where they are still allowed to work Indies. I guess before that they were only paid per appearance. EDIT: By the way, Rich Swann is also part of this and he does have an exclusive WWE contract, so your argument works with him.

The Z Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I really hope they want Mike Bailey in this badly. If there's anyone that could solve this whole visa bullshit quickly, it's the WWE corporate machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 WWE announced another qualifying match - Noam Dar vs. Josh Bodom via the Rev Pro show on May 1 So obviously some of the previously announced guys will still go through the charade of qualifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no Marty Scurll in this tournament after all? I didn't expect Will Ospreay in this, if he already signed a contract with NJPW. Tommy End claims he's not in it, because he's over the weight limit. However, I also stumbled upon an Indy show happening in Italy on June 25th for which all three, Scurll, End and Ospreay, were booked months ago. It would be ridiculous, if that show was the reason neither of the three are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwegian Rudo Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Travis Gordon, who was one of the security guards on Raw, is someone I could very well see being in this. He would almost certainly be a first round loser, but could very well get a developmental contract out of it. He's inexperienced, but does some spectacular moves, and he's built kind of like current day Matt Sydal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo Woodbine Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 This was a couple of years ago. He had a match for the GHC junior title a few years ago too that I really liked, dunno if that's still online though. EDIT: must've been Zero1 actually.

Phil Schneider Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Fred Yehi is the fucking best too. He honestly might be one of my five favorite wrestlers in the world right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
