EVOLVE: Welcome To The Evolution [ThunderVerse]

EVOLVE: Introduction

 

THE DIARY AND SETUP

Unsurprisingly, this is a TEW2013 diary using the ThunderVerse mod. Much like my previous efforts with Thunder Championship Wrestling, the diary will follow a created promotion, in this case EVOLVE Pro Wrestling, as it looks to find its feet in the wrestling world. While TCW was a pretty straightforward sports entertainment promotion whose big selling point was it's owner, Terry Thunder, EVOLVE offers a slightly different take on sports entertainment (dubbed Sports Entertainment 2.0). The product is, for the large part, the typical American pro wrestling fare, with a heavy emphasis on popularity, on entertainment and on angles. There is, however, something of a twist, or "update" as they would have it, which will work itself into the shows as we progress.

 

I am using the promotion's owner, Saul Keaton, as my user character with default user talents. Restricted Areas is set to Semi, New Worker Frequency is set to Medium (hopefully someone worth hiring will pop up!) and, for the sake of simplicity on my part, Strict Storylines are turned off.

 

EVOLVE's roster was set up in the mod before the game began, but with one notable exception consists of workers who would have been available to hire in-game anyway. Given the differences between "my" EVOLVE and the default EVOLVE, I have for all intents and purposes basically used the logo, banner and belts and that's where the similarities end. The company starts with 50 popularity across the US, making it just about Cult, is based in the South East and has a one-hour TV show on a new TV Network, Music Video Library 2. MVL2 is a Medium-sized Cult network with low patience with coverage across the US only. The main reason for adding MVL2 was basically because, given the backstory, I needed a Titan News channel that wasn't too big.

 

It's probably worth noting that there are a couple of similarities between EVOLVE and the real-life TNA Wrestling, although this should be limited to aesthetics (and probably arose because of Kam's logo design). The X-Division is also used in the default EVOLVE, and having failed to find a better name to describe it (and having the belt already made) it made sense to retain it. The promotion being based in Florida is to do with the backstory, and not a deliberate similarity to TNA, due largely to the loose connections EVOLVE have with CWT (i.e. it made sense to keep it in the same region). Finally, the High Impact TV show name was a game-suggested name and, once again, having failed to better it myself I decided that the similarity to TNA's TV show name didn't matter

too

much.

 

The diary will focus largely on the shows, but will also feature content from a "One Year" documentary that will see members of the roster talking about major events and/or happenings in the company.

 

THE CREDITS

Bigpapa42 was an enormous help in the setting up of EVOLVE Pro Wrestling as an entity, and without him this idea wouldn't have ever found its feet as a save, let alone a diary! Obviously a big thanks also goes to the ThunderVerse Team for their work on the mod, and to Kamchatka who created the EVOLVE Pro Wrestling logo and MJStark who, as always, did a fantastic job with the EVOLVE belts.

 

Many thanks to MichiganHero for his excellent work on EVOLVE's post-show Aftermath!

 

As ever, I'm sure there will be more people to thank along the way so I'll do my best to keep this up to date!

How did EVOLVE come about? To cut a very long story short, I had been in discussions with Titan News about moving CWT over to one of their networks. Championship Wrestling was doing okay where it was, but we were never going to challenge the likes of the AWF or PWI stuck on Sports Choice TV forever. The problem was, JD [briscoe] didn't like the deal Titan laid out – it meant a little less control for him. In my mind that was a fair exchange considering the likely exposure we'd be getting, but JD wasn't prepared to give it up.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Don't get me wrong, JD and I remain friends despite the last twelve, thirteen months, but I just felt that if CWT weren't going to start moving with the times – whether that's in the ring or outside it – then I could end up retiring in a promotion that had gone from a top four player to a middle-of-the-pack, particularly as some of those indy kids are really pushing those smaller promotions at the moment. This really is a free-for-all in terms of the wrestling landscape, and unless you're willing to change with the times you run the risk of being left behind.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

That's when I contacted Saul [Keaton]...</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Diaries/EVOLVE/Other/SaulKeaton.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Hell, I've known Roscoe since my early days with Hilite. The man is a big fight fan – if he's not fighting someone, he's watching someone else fight, so it was no surprise that eventually we were going to bump into each other. We ran a few shows in Florida in 2007 and Roscoe came to every single show.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Roscoe knew I'd been thinking about pro wrestling ever since selling Hilite back in 2010...</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Diaries/EVOLVE/Other/RoscoeCarmine.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

I knew Saul was looking at moving into professional wrestling almost before he sold Hilite. The thing was, Titan News had told me that the offer would remain open for a little longer, and the executive had suggested that if I was onboard, the offer wouldn't have to be CWT specific. I think he was expecting me to jump ship to the AWF or somesuch, but I had no interest in doing that to JD. A new promotion, however, was a possibility. We wouldn't need to throw dirt on CWT for a start, and it was less about turning my back on JD and more about finding my own feet. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

I haven't done too badly over the years, but I was never going to be able to run a promotion on my own. It seemed a perfect fit, and Titan News seemed pretty excited to be working with Saul again...</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Diaries/EVOLVE/Other/SaulKeaton.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

During my time at Hilite I'd had a pretty good relationship with Titan News. We were stuck on one of their smaller networks at some unearthly hour, but we still did pretty big numbers considering. Hilite really pushed the bar in terms of production – particularly given our size and finances – and Titan seemed to appreciate that. It wasn't much of a stretch to convince the guys in charge that we could do the same for professional wrestling.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Once Titan was happy with the setup, and Roscoe was able to convince Briscoe to release his contract, we were on the road. This was back in early November. We didn't have much time to set everything up for a January start...</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

Ooooh, looks like another good one starting up.

[Deamon]

This looks like a cool diary, plus it uses some guys you don't normally get to see in a TVerse diary.

 

I'm thinking the team/camp thing will become important later.

I really want to know about that "sports entertainment 2.0" thing, and of course, about those camps! Also, great news on using the Gibson Brothers, WCCW love right there.</p><p> </p><p>

Kay Pasa being rebranded as Sava should attest to that.</p><p> </p><p> However, I think the general "sports entertainment" model hasn't really changed in years. The TV rating has changed (i.e. to PG), but the general ideas and the way the show is presented hasn't (much). TNA have tried to do things a little differently on occasion, but generally speaking they ended up going back to the WWE model. It's really about bringing a new, modern twist to the "WWWE" product (as it would be in the ThunderVerse) hopefully without making it too unrecognisable. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

What made me join EVOLVE? I'd done about two-and-a-half years in LA by the time Keaton and Roscoe came calling. When I first joined the company it was going to be this great ride. We were going to push boundaries and I was going to win titles, have great matches and so on. In reality, outside of that opening feud with [Jean-Claude] Giroux in 2011/12 and the run with the US title there wasn't really much going on for me over there. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

I wasn't being promoted like I was promised and my “boundary-pushing” character became something of a joke. It was a fun idea, and it worked really well for a while but things just weren't moving forward. The fact pretty much all the top guys had exclusive contracts with the company and I didn't, said everything about how vital I was to the management in that promotion.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

So when EVOLVE offered me the chance to reinvent myself, to really be a top guy in a promotion that was going to be cutting-edge, how could I refuse?</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Diaries/EVOLVE/Other/KrisPhoenix.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

People seem to think that Carmine started some sort of “Tennessee Exodus” when he started up EVOLVE but it wasn't like that. There were a few of us that headed to EVOLVE – myself, Shay [Kinsella], L-Mack and [sean] Riley but our reasons were our own. It wasn't some sort of huge conspiracy that led us out of one company into another.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In fact, I'm still not entirely sure what made Mack leave CWT – maybe I'll have to watch this doc back at some point to see his “input” on the matter...</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx181/jhdTEW/Diaries/EVOLVE/Other/LutherMack.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

It wasn't for Kris Phoenix I'll tell ya' that for nuthin'. I thought twice before joining his sorry [CENSOR] anywhere, but then when the dollar-signs are a-callin' you put such heartaches aside. Phoenix only left because getting in on the ground floor of EVOLVE would give him enough pull to win him some titles.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Hell, I figured that once Carmine had walked out and then Riley that I'd be moving up in the world in Tennessee. Turned out I “wasn't ready” to hold down the fort once the big guns had left. Told Briscoe exactly where he could put his offer for another TV title reign and called up Keaton myself.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Everyone in professional wrestling wants to be the top dog. No one starts out their career dreaming of becoming the next Buddy Holland – no offence Buddy, you're a star! But you know what I mean. There are people happy doing the job, for the good of the industry and that sort of thing, but that's not the dream. Inside, everyone wants to see their name at the top of the card.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In Tennessee that was going to happen, but it was going to happen one day very, very far down the line. Sure there were a few new faces at the top, but generally speaking it was the same old guys with the same old feuds doing the same old thing week-in and week-out. Even when [Cloud] James got the title he was told in no uncertain terms it wasn't going to last long.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

I was in a position similar to Hancock, I guess. We both had everything to be the headliner but got stuck down in the midcard. EVOLVE presented itself as an opportunity to main event a promotion that wasn't going to focus on the same names we'd all seen before. Sure there are some of the stalwarts around, but they knew they'd have to work harder than ever to keep their spots in this company.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

The Evolution starts here, as EVOLVE Pro Wrestling begins its wrestling revolution from the World Of Movie Magic in Orlando, FL for its very first show, EVOLVE High Impact Episode #1.</div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In addition to the very best wrestling, and the very best entertainment, EVOLVE High Impact Episode #1 will begin to introduce you to some of the stars of EVOLVE Pro Wrestling, the future of sports entertainment.</div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The opening match of the night will be a six-man Division-X contest, pitting some of the internationally-acclaimed talent that is guaranteed to set the division apart from its rivals. Two men that might well be recognisable to fans, Shannon Sorensen and El Estandar, will be teaming up with a newcomer to American wrestling fans in the shape of luchador Nacho Inferno. Their opponents will be two men better known in Japan than the US, Scotland's Fergus Storm and masked American Schism, who will be partnered by DRAGON Pro Wrestling's Evan Kuja, himself a regular on the Japanese circuit.</div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

After what is sure to be a high-paced, explosive opening, Mike Frobel and Luther Mack will face-off in EVOLVE's first heavyweight contest. Expect a hard-hitting affair as the "Canadian Bull" - a wrestler well known in Europe as a fearsome competitor - looks to make an immediate splash against his better known, Mississippi-born opponent.</div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Finally, in the main event the veteran of the company, Roscoe Carmine, will be wrestling an opponent that is no stranger to him, or the audience - the Canadian grappler "Supreme" Sean Riley. The two met recently outside of EVOLVE, and with Carmine leaving that match with a victory Riley will certainly be fired up for vengeance, and for the opportunity to prove to his new employers just what he can do in the ring.</div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In addition to the in-ring action the Director of the Competitive Committee, Chaperone, is scheduled to address the roster and fans alike at the show's opening, and with an announcement said to be as "evolutionary as it is revolutionary", you won't want to miss it!</div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">
