CSC Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 And apparently Floslam launched their website redesign yesterday, obviously trying to hide that they only have 1 upcoming event and trying to make news and results super prominent. and "featuring faster load time", which of course means the first free video I tried clicking on crashed their web player Hilarious.

Marty Sugar Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Does it really matter WHO leaked the email? The fact is, someone was going to. It's wrestling: everyone is a fucking stooge. Plus, what in there is private? Nothing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 It would only matter to someone who has the general temperament of a wet cat. I believe that Gabe fits that description pretty much to a "t". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be appearing on the Oct shows but stated that he wasn't forced off those shows by EVOLVE He probably knew his lockups weren't up the Gabe's standards and left the company to avoid embarrassment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasty little roided up dwarf. Met him at an ECCW show, what a complete mark for himself. Look, if I was 5 '2 and 150 lbs. I could bounce around the ring like that too. Fucking douche. Hahaha. Thanks for the reminder, he got pretty pissed when we chanted "Rumpelstiltskin" at him. ;-) Bummer to hear these stories about Kozina. At a 2002 APW show at the Napa Fairgrounds he worked a nice match, and couldn't have been friendlier to 21 year old me. He chatted with me for 10 minutes at the merch table, I was a fan of his wrestling (he had worked California several times at that point), was genuinely interested in my college radio show (which was half wrestling talk/half indie rock), offered up two of his comp tapes for free to use as giveaways on my show, honestly could not have been a nicer dude.

GodzillaPerez Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Earlier this year, I went to a Smash show and the advertised Super Smash Bros vs Well Oiled Machines vs American Wolves match got switched around due to Eddie Edwards being injured. It ended up being Davey Richards vs Tony Kozina in a singles match which I thought was going to be horrible but then they proceeded to work a total comedy match which had the crowd chanting "Please come back!" at Kozina at the end. ....This adds nothing to the "Tony Kozina is a prick" discussion. Just wanted to share. Also, everyone needs to watch the early Evolve shows just for the backstage skits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which from the only two matches I saw him doing it in PWG involved a ton of piledrivers including a super Tombstone and still not winning. Um, seems a bit much there.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 If this is the end of Evolve, I guess Gabe goes and works for nxt. It'd probably be an ideal gig for him, where he could focus solely on creative without having to worry about money, or lack thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yeah, but I'm going to miss seeing that group of talent work with each other. Riddle, ZSJ, LEE, Darby, Dickinson and Jaka... This sucks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I am 50% on-guard that this is another shitty Gabe-produced "worked-shoot". I could totally see him using the recent mess to try to work everyone into buying the shows being advertised as "The End" and have it end with a crappy takeover/rebranding angle, led by the "hottest free agent in wrestling" Ethan Page.

Meltzer thinks it's probably going to be some sort of angle, not a shutdown. I don't really think a shutdown is in keeping with what Gabe was saying in that leaked email. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah same here. A friend of mine trained for a while at ECCW's school and Kozina would always stand around and chat with us after shows while we were waiting for my friend to finish taking down the ring and such. He was always super cool and came across as a humble guy. Don't know what happened to him in the years since but in 99-00 when we were regularly seeing him at ECCW shows, Kozina was a heck of a nice guy.
