I'm going to Evolve 107 this Sunday

Postby VaderBomb » Jun 21, '18, 11:17 am

Main event is Adam Cole defending the North American Championship against WALTER, which should be excellent.

I'm so excited for this show. Sitting third row on the TV side. It will be the first independent show that I will attend and as you guys know, I'm a lifelong wrestling fan. If i get a chance to meet some of the boys, I'll post some photos.

WWE have had a relationship with Evolve for a while now, and WWE talent have worked their shows before, but I believe this is the first time the match will also be broadcast, rather than being used as a dark match.

WWE do seem to be adopting a more flexible approach to talent working other companies - at least NXT talent. They have a relationship with a number of indy promotions in the UK and Ireland also. I've seen British Strong Style (Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate, Trent Seven) work a bunch of times in Over The Top Wrestling here in Ireland. Dunne comes out with the WWE UK Championship and is announced as champion. Strange times we live in.

WWE is also allowing Hideo Itami to show up and likely wrestle for NOAH sometime soon.

I had a great time last night. We sat third row on the TV side. I met WALTER before and after his match and bought a badass shirt from him. The main event was awesome, as were most of the matches on the card. WALTER was still selling his kayfabe hand injury at the merch table after the show and he was very kind and gracious. I met Matt Riddle briefly and shook his hand, but I didn't have enough money to snag a shirt from him as well.

The fire alarm went off twice and the crowd was chanting "BURN IT DOWN" and there were huge pops when they stopped ringing both times. Adam Cole wasn't pushing merch so I didn't get a chance to meet him.

My girlfriend's phone died so I couldn't get a photo with WALTER, but if you check out this photo https://i.redd.it/3porn05312611.jpg, I'm the guy wearing the plaid shirt in the bottom center and she is sitting next to me in the yellow shirt.

Matt Riddle seems cool. We saw him have a killer match against Ospreay at OTT last month (best match I've ever seen live ... I think it's available free on Youtube right now also). After his match he came out and was standing just behind us in the crowd, checking out the rest of the show. He seemed into everything that was going on.

I never actually talk to the wrestlers at these shows, even if they're just hanging around. I'll buy a shirt if I see one I like, but I don't want to bother them when I don't have anything more interesting to say than "I'm a big fan".
