Mark Briscoe vs Steve Corino - N/R (wasn't a match)
Proving Ground: Matt Taven vs Eddie Edwards - **** (Honestly this match was awesome, Edwards was over as hell and Taven finally had a match without Truth overshadowing him)
Jay Lethal vs ACH - ***3/4-****
Bobby Fish vs Raymond Rowe - **3/4
Roderick Strong vs Adam Cole - ***1/4
Texas Tornado Tag Team Match No DQ: Michael Elgin and BJ Whitmer vs SCUM - ***1/4
ROH World Championship: Jay Briscoe vs Davey Richards - ****
I really wish the SCUM vs. ROH matches were better. They seem to be positioned well and get a good amount/time, but it just seems like they can't exceed a certain level.
Only ROH vs SCUM match I had any sort of fun watching was the ten man tag back at SCOH. It was a bit of a hot mess, although that's what I got a kick out of.
Gonna pass on the HDNet sale. If it were events I'd consider it.
FRAY! Shane Strickland vs. Jon Davis vs. Lince Dorado vs. Caleb Konley vs. Tommy Taylor vs. Andrew Everett - ***1/4 (It was an awesome match till the third elimination)
EITA vs. Tomahawk TT - ***1/2
Entertainment Match: The Bravado Brothers (Harlem & Lancelot) vs. Sugar Dunkerton & Maxwell Chicago - ..
Anyone ordering AIW Absolution? I've always been against the whole iPPV thing, but I'm actually considering it. The only match I don't want to see is Submission Squad/Smothers & Old School Express. Dickinson/Whitmer should be insane, and I think Gargano and Page could very well be a MOTYC. Really looking forward to Matt Fitchett's return, but I'm really not sure why.
No if I'm off I'll probably order it. Ryan/Delaney might be a surprise as long as they stay away from an overbooked finish, interested in how Derrick Bateman looks against Donst, Elgin/Alexander should be good and most importantly Hope & Change lose the belts. I am wary of Lyndon in his match with ACH though, if he's off then it'll go downhill fast.
Do the latest Evolve shows take place in front of anything resembling a crowd? I don't doubt they feature a string of great matches, but there's something about 50 fans sitting on their hands that melts snowflakes for me.
NO. I felt like there was nobody in the crowd in EVOLVE 20. Still haven't watched EVOLVE 22 but from the very little I saw and from what I've head there were like 75 fans there.
But at least they were alive and actually cared about what's happening in the ring unlike the fans in the venue DGUSA/EVOLVE used to run lately.
I like EVOLVE but the fans just kill the show for me.
btw who do you guys think should be next in line for SMV BOTI? I've heard ACH did an interview with them recently, but other than him, I'd say Johnny Gargano should be after ACH.
Also, everybody check out prowrestlingtees.com Its very cool as one hour tees opened this site for the wrestlers themselves to have a place to sell their merch. Some shirts are older ones that would be hard to find anywhere else like Jimmy Jacobs put out a new AOTF shirt.
Ha. I was legit about to ask if Bateman/Hutter would return to the promotion. Got my answer. vs Donst too. Now I have to see that match. Never ordered an iPPV yet. Truth be told, this one is looking tempting.
Damn, Evolve 20 wasn't anything impressive at all.
Fox/Nick - Enjoyable
Nese/Del Sol - MOTN
Entertainment Match - Enjoyable
Tomahawk/EITA - Forgettable
Fray - OK
Chuck/Cage - Forgettable
Gargano/Matt - OK
I like Strickland. A solid junior heavyweight from what I've seen in CZW. Potentially could grow into someone better. Working with Rich Swann only aided him.
Konley I haven't seen a whole bunch, but he's fine enough. Doesn't he get a lot of hate though? I mean he's probably pretty "run of the mill" indie worker type status, but nothing wrong with that if you're not awful. He enters to dubstep. That won me over. He's big in some promotion I was looking at shows on Highspots. Forget the name though...something near New York.
Maybe it's just me, but I think CZW's had most of the top young junior heavyweights in the past few years. I haven't been too impressed with Konley for some reason. For what it's worth, Dorado outshone both of them in the Fray.
tbf there have always been those guys "in talks with TNA" that linger about until they show up for one match or never at all. Lets only be confirmed once they happen to appear. Lince's ONO appearance was as fleeting as all the other returns/debuts that night.
EVOLVE 21 Review (6/1/2013)
-Another solid outing from the purple brand. Davis/Chucky T definitely stole the show by miles, they told a fantastic story here with some great spots and both guys looked fantastic, excellent stuff. Why didn’t the EVOLVE title main event?

EVOLVE 22 Review (6/2/2013)
-Another consistent card with some standouts sprinkled in. Show stealer was Gargano/Del Sol as expected though I am disappointed that Fox/Dorado didn’t live up to their prior matches but very creative with an awesome finish. Again, why did the EVOLVE Title not main event the show but here I understand that they were building to the OTUG Title match all weekend so it gets a pass I guess. Good weekend overall.
