They really should have put the Global Cruiserweight matches on the EVOLVE 60 card - the building in Maryland looked a whole lot better, plus the crowd were actually visible on the hardcam, rather than one or two rows of largely inanimate fans sitting on plush couches. Looked really low-rent in comparison to the PROGRESS & RevPro GCS matches.

Does this put to bed the "EVOLVE is only for WWE hopefuls" rumor? I'd hate for Drew to lose his main indy gig

I'd presume so, guessing Hero joins EC3 & Drew, which would be pretty cool.

Or they were concerned enough about the Maryland building's infrastructure to avoid risking it since it was the first time they ran the building. The downside of being embarrassed about the feed going to crap as they aired the Cruiserweight Classic matches outweighed the still crowd opposite hard camera in Queens.

Of course, people complained about the stream crapping the bed last night, so.

 

[avengers23]

Also, I expect nothing but greatness from the return of Bob Backlund and his mentorship of Darren Young.

The first thing Backlund should do is give Young a new nickname.

You don't like "Mr. No Days Off"?

I may be going to extreme rules.

Should I wear a gi, wrestling headgear, sunglasses and have a moustache?

 

[Ithil]

Just saw this. Didn't notice Owens lost that much of his stomach. Looking good.

He should probably get back to his early NXT weight all the same

Keeps the husky look without just looking fat.

I think it turned into a shoot once Rusev went for Cesaro's arm.

 

[Bluekaveli]

How am I supposed to believe that Triple H beat Cactus Jack in a Street fight match? Then Cactus Jack gets up 15 seconds after being pinned.

It's swell, but when you don't show up for months people are going to question its veracity.

Rikishi has gotta be the come back kid of all time. Was in a popular tag team that was over. Had a horrible singles run trying to be positive. Turns to The Sultan and had small success, then comes back 2 years later 100lbs bigger and get over so well with the crowd. I just wonder are they trying to trick people because in the early 90s,it was Fatu. Now it's Phatu.

They do sort of acknowledge that Rikishi is Make a Difference Fatu eventually.

Colt Cabana will be in jail by summer's end. Does ROH really want to lose their title like that?

When Meltz shoots, he doesn't miss.

He's only sure because Ryback himself cleared the air. This is just Meltzer shooting at a target that has already been shot.
