Maybe Gabe cutting Hot Sauce loose will be a wake up call that being Drew Gulak Jr also requires having literally any charisma.

I think it is a huge self-own.

Social media being social media it is just asking people to dunk on you.

Few promoters I interact with would do this would do this out of actual promotional identity or personal pride.

AND Gabe is paid to cultivate talent by WWE.

Heretic, please.



Seriously I've been an Evolve apologist for a while because I always have fun at their shows, but it was blatantly obvious that the last show's card was slapped together at the very last minute (it didn't even match the card they gave out at the event), and I don't really care about following it when it's not in New York.

This is sort of where I am, I guess. Even as deflated as the product can feel both post-big 3 leaving and in general, Janela-Drake killed at the last show. La Boom shows are a blast in general, and even with the annoying ticket price hike last time, I still left satisfied. The June show in Brooklyn was just weird, different, and good enough to be an incredibly memorable experience live, with the strong heel/babyface dynamic paying off big time in WALTER-Darby (one of the best matches and moments of the year) and Theory-Janela (one of the best moments of the year). And watching The Skulk get over big in NYC has been one of the more surprisingly fun things in wrestling this year.

But outside of going to the live shows in NYC, where they benefit from the commission and other expenses limiting the number of superindie type shows, and whatever other markets where they may be in a similar situation (are there any strong Detroit indies right now?), what IS the identity and pull of Evolve? Grapplefuck is long dead. ZSJ survived it and thrived, but he's gone now, as are Keith Lee and Matt Riddle, who then carried the company with him. The actual in-ring product isn't promoted as a WWE feeder, so it's not "the stars of tomorrow." Maybe it was about to be The Workrate Joey Janela Promotion, but Joey's injury obviously killed that.

Maybe they'll give Joey the book for Evolve and they do some cool stuff. Let Gabe take a vacation for a year and recharge his batteries. Or at least move him into a position where he's not the Do Everything And Answer To Mysterious WWE Masters Guy.

Where is that Park vs PCO card held at? La Boom?

Also, either the wreslers are going to be stretched thin that weekend or some new faces might emerge because of that Battle Riot, which would be a good thing.

Gabe would rather fail by his own hand than succeed via someone else's.

But then that would just lead to Evolve booking his Nazi pal or Teddy Hart

I went to Bar Wrestling last night and had a blast. The matches were short and nothing was exactly stand out. But the atmosphere and energy was great. Any show that ends with the audience singing along to NSync is a good time.

Dunno where to post this here or the NXT thread. Woke up to reports/claims that Pete Dunne was severely injured and got a justifiable shock. Looked into it and the best I can tell it’s a cover after being pulled by WWE from a Destiny Wrestling card.

What happened with the Daga spot? Couldn’t tell if the ear thing was Loki stiffing him or if he bladed

The EMS guys ran past me to the back, so either they were in on it (or not smartened up and thought it was legit) or, more likely, Low Ki did Low Ki things

Also right after that finish Teddy Hart showed up right next to me with his cat just hanging out aimlessly, lots of wrestlers doing what you'd expect tonight

Speaking of which that main ruled even if it was a bit short

e: to be clear the low ki spot was just an ear pull from what I could tell, no punches or anything
