shoe Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Opening match . Horus vs Nese I think this has been the best I've seen Horus. Big win for Horus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Richards vs Konley The counters of counters was interesting. The match seems pretty aimless though. Just a collection of moves. Not feeling this at all. This is going way too long. On top of it Konley's strikes are looking really bad down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoe Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Mike Bailey vs TJ Perkins This should be a blast. Man the mat wrestling here is a lot of fun. Mixing it up with nice strikes. Then incorporating some highspots. Man their doing a great job incorporating a lot of different elements. It started to drag a bit. Should have gone home a minute or 2 earlier. Finish felt cheap, but builds to rematches. A good match in the 3 1/2* range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hero vs Lee Hero is having a heck of a year. I love Hero's homage to Seattle Supersonics trunks. Lee is real hit or miss for me. I enjoyed the early portions of the match, but really enjoying the meat of the match. Lee's selling of the leg is great. His work underneath has been fantastic. That running German was sick, but took away from Lee's selling of the leg story. That elbow of Hero's is lethal. Great match 4* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Lee get's a ton of mileage out of losing.Perfectly worked in that sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Ronin vs Gulak/Tracy Williams This was a really good tag. Gulak and Williams seemed like a real throwback team. Another good bout. This has been a pretty easy thunbs up so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Galloway vs Busick Busick's work on the mat is so tight looking. Busick is taking a beating. Big upper cut by Busick. Galloway needs to cut the ringside brawling out. Someone should explain that the majority of promotions he works for doesn't have WWE's camera set up. This really is quite the battle. This was a solid match. I was expecting more and the finish was anti climatic. Overall one bad match with Richards where I wouldn't be shocked that their will be a camp that liked it. The rest of the card was really great, with just a solid main event. I'd give it an easy thumbs up show. The lighting was mickey mouse, but the crowd seemed louder than normal for the Evolve shows this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I echo pretty much everything Pete said....the crowd was better which helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpchicago23 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I should be going to Evolve 45. I'm hoping Hero has a good opponent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thread Killer Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I have a question... What is the actual difference between Evolve and DGUSA shows? Are they only considered DGUSA when wrestlers from Dragon's Gate in Japan are on the show, otherwise they are Evolve? And is it true that the two promotions are starting to merge, or that DGUSA is basically starting to fade? Is it true that one of the champions on the show last night announced that their DGUSA title is now an Evolve title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 DGUSA doesn't really exist anymore. They're on an "indefinite hiatus" which basically says it all. The lines were blurred well over a year ago when the belt started getting defended on EVOLVE shows, and there hasn't been an actual DGUSA show since February '14, I believe. And good riddance, I'd say. I know I'm not alone in saying I'd rather watch Drew Gulak than Shingo Takagi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Skinner Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm hearing really great things about this show. Gonna have to check it out either today or tomorrow. Weird that the one EVOLVE show I didn't buy the live airing for this year so far is the one getting the most praise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
