quackhell Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Catching up with Evolve 114 and I have to say the switch to NXT JR was kinda jarring. I mean I get it, they are changing and embracing it full force, but still just to see the NXT interaction and them referencing the PC and WWE so much it felt like being bashed over the head over and over. The title switches were good even if Strickland/Aichner dipped into overkill a bit for my tastes. Regardless it will be interesting to how things develop going forward. Maybe Dan Matha will end up being really good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Why isn't Garrini working for EVOLVE anymore? Ever since Stokley left and Catch Point broke up, Garrini stopped appearing on their shows. He was far great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Anybody going to Evolve on Saturday? I'm going with a friend and we're checking out both the Shine 3pm show and Evolve. And from the looks of the card it's going to be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quackhell Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Caught up with the current shows and while I like Anthony Henry, I don't know if he was the right guy to be doing the "you haven't earned your/taken my spot" thing. His mic work isn't confident and he seems hesitant to go full bore. Austin Theory or Strickland seem like better choices, but I guess they have other programs and directions right now. Also Darby Allin/Mustafa Ali was kind of a let down. Darby seems to function best as an underdog getting mauled by a big man as opposed to having a more back and forth match with a similar sized opponent.

NikoBaltimore Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I was at both Shine and Evolve last Saturday and it was one of the more unique and memorable times at a wrestling event. Before getting into the shows I want to state just how awesome Trevin Adams is. I might have said it before but he's not only an old friend of ours but he's also really close with a friend who has helped him with the shows. He hooked us up with free VIP seats (I still paid out the ass for gas and tolls) and took care of us all night. What was also neat was we were in the section where all the wrestlers were hanging out and while I felt no need at all to meet them it was still cool seeing we were all just chilling out watching wrestling. Also, more shows should happen in clubs. I loved when Impact would do Slammiversary and the tapings in one and this one was a great setting for a show. I saw what I could of Shine but we got there a tad late and were still getting situated. The last couple matches were really fun and you can't go wrong with seeing Mercedez/Kimber Lee and Su/Alison live. My wife was ecstatic to see Su and especially Kiera Hogan wrestle. Luckily after the show we met Kiera and she was an absolute sweetheart. As for Evolve that was just a top-to-bottom fucking awesome show. I loved all the matches but I would say Ohno/Allin was my absolute favorite. It told a damn good story and everybody just went nuts watching the sheer brutality of it all. I would definitely see that and also Joe Gacy's match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like the idea of an NXT star wrestling Theory is who is heavily against NXT wrestlers coming in. Might not be the best match but I'd like to see what they can do.

Guest Edwin Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I think Theory is a lock to get signed at any point soon along with Darby which is why those are the 2 guys getting to work with the NXT guys in singles matches when they come in.

quackhell Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 While I would obviously be happy for Darby to get signed and have great success I am not sure a watered down version of him would be nearly as fun to watch. I know that is assuming a lot, but I tend to do that whether it's rational or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that is assuming a lot, but I tend to do that whether it's rational or not. I never saw what was special about Darby until the Queens show. He is beyond tremendous at being the little guy that gets beaten down but still somehow fights back. That might work in NXT but no way in hell will that have the time to work out on the main roster. I'd much rather there be a hiring freeze until WWE can make good use of what they currently have. Buying/keeping talents so they don't go elsewhere is what's hurting the business more than anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quackhell Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Agreed the stockpiling tactic is pretty awful and is really going to hurt companies especially in the UK once those new contracts kick in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Did EVOLVE cut ties with the entire Catch Point crew? I know Stokley is done and was written off with the Catch Point angle. Dickinson, Jaka, Garrini nor Hot Sauce have been booked for some shows. They haven't booked Thatcher in a while either. Edit: Watch Ohno/Allin from EVOLVE 117 if you haven't. Best EVOLVE match since the NXT invasion. Darby as the small bumping underdog who can take a massive beating always delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
