Yeah, sorry I probably should of mentioned I am going to buy a months membership if enough of the ones I need are on sale but I didn't want to buy one to find there's only 1 or 2 actually on sale.
Random question , but is there an AOTF compilation made ? If not , that shit has to be made. I just want to see all of Jimmy's promos together too. Some good matches could be on it too , disregarding most of Necros.:side:
I like Super Dragon , I can see how his style wouldn't appeal to some people though. It's quintessential of indytastic. I like him , he's a legit badass and his has a certain aura around him that is very rare on the Indys. His return was a perfect example of this . There's just something about him.
Young Bucks vs. Kevin Steen & Super Dragon - PWG Fear
Sick and brutal for sure, but not quite exciting and awesome as some of the previous Warfare matches. Still a very good stuff. Holy Batman @Steen and Dragon winning the Tag Titles. It's gonna be epic.
I enjoyed A Fight At The Roxbury quite a lot. There was nothing bad on the card and the main event, the 6 man, the four way, Briscoe/Steen, Danielson/Rave and Generico/Sydal were all really enjoyable matches, if nothing special. It was one of the easiest shows I've sat through to be honest.
Watched these while I was in LA for the DGUSA/PWG/PWS weekend. First review was more detailed, second show I was just lazy.
EVOLVE 7 - 4/19/11
My thoughts going into the event are that the Main event should be okay, but I'm not a huge Moxley face. Taylor/Tozawa, Fox/Swann, and Xion/Jacobs all sound like great
matches. I've never seen Sabre wrestle (crazy huh?), and I want to see if he can hold his own against Callihan. Young is good in the ring, and Tony Nese is a beast
from his other EVOLVE match and in TNA so that should be solid. overall this looks pretty strong.
Spoiler Match
Jimmy Jacobs (4-2) vs. Shiima Xion (0-0)
This match was good for the time given. Lots of solid high flying action that kept me entertained. Nice reversals like Xion's into the crippler crossface near the end.
The finish was great, you don't see a lot of heels using that move to pull out the win. This was bittersweet since I know that neither of these men will be seen in
EVOLVE again, since Jacobs goes to ROH and Xion goes to TNA.
***
Tony Nese (0-1) vs. Silas Young (1-1)
Really short match but solid nonetheless. Great showing by both men, but it wasn't given much time at all.
**1/2
Spoiler Match
Johnny Gargano (4-2) vs. Jon Davis
Going into this I haven't seen much from Davis, but he was really solid in this bout. Really stiff strikes and his power counters were amazing.Gargano was really agile
throughout the bout. The finish was solid, everything was solid.

CHIKARA Sekigun (2-0) vs. Facade and Jason Gory (0-0)
High flying fun match. Definately exceeded my expectations and I was simply amazed.
***1/4
Zack Sabre Jr. (0-0) vs. Sami Callihan (2-1)
Amazing, amazing, amazing. Excellent counters. Excellent strikes. Excellent exchanges. Excellent near falls.
***3/4 - ****
AR Fox (1-0) vs. Rich Swann (0-1)
Unbelievable counters like the ace crusher one. Very innovative and exciting. Can't wait to see them meet again. Spot fest done right. Also, dat finish.
***1/2
Spoiler Match
Chuck Taylor (4-2) vs. Akira Tozawa (0-0)
Very very good match. Great strikes. Finishing stretch was great.
***1/2
Tiebreaker
Chuck Taylor (5-2) vs. Johnny Gargano (5-2)
Good for what it was. Not a real match, just to advance the storyline. Each had already wrestled so not much left in the tank at this point.
**
Moxley's Goodbye
Austin Aries (1-0) vs. Jon Moxley (1-1)
Good technical wrestling in the start. Big spots throughout the match while keeping both men strong. Amazing near falls throughout the ending and a strong finish. Not
the highlight of the show but definately great.
***1/2
Overall: Aries/Moxley, Taylor/Tozawa, Fox/Swann, and Sabre/Callihan were all great matches. The rest were fun and quick for the most part. Easy to sit through and enjoy.
EVOLVE 8 - 5/20/11
Rich Swann vs. AR Fox
**1/2
Tony Nese vs. Jon Davis

Sami Callihan vs. Brodie Lee
***1/2
Bobby Fish vs. Austin Aries

AR Fox vs. Jon Davis
***1/4
Bobby Fish vs. Sami Callihan
N/A wasn't paying enough attention but seemed short and weak
The SAT vs. The New Havana Pitbulls
See above.
FRAY!
**1/4
Sami Callihan vs. AR Fox
***1/2
Overall: Nothing great, easy to watch and everything was solid. During Fish/Callihan and SAT/Pitbulls was distracted by people arguing outside of my hotel room in the
hall ways. Didn't feel like I missed much.
Pac vs. Low Ki? Holy shit, I'm really excited for all of the potential/upcoming Ki matches.
Also, does anyone know where I can find Revolution Pro shows on DVD? I have a few of the joint shows they did with AWS but I have still yet to find anyone with Rev Pro footage.
I have a feeling that DGUSA's WM weekend shows will be awesome on so many levels. Low-Ki gives them a little bit of an X-factor. He allows from pretty much one dream match a show and the other DGUSA guys can still go out and put on something epic.

Bonus Match
Andy “Right Leg” Ridge vs. Mike Sydal - *
A very solid opener, Steen being a dick before getting thrown out, a good Edwards/O’Reilly match and the Briscoes beating the Bucks like they stole something all made the first half flow, unfortunately a pretty bland Proving Ground match and and even worse tag title match (and cringeworthy aftermatch promo) bring the show down before the main event and aftermath with more Steen.
Pac/Ki! I'm going to the Dragon Gate show for sure now
