I also thought it was strange that the Drifter wasn't mentioned. Though there was a dark match before Takeover where Oney Lorcan fought "El Vagabondo". A masked luchador with a guitar. I'm sure those two things are unrelated though.

To be fair, Bo did the same thing. Came back one last time under a mask before going away completely

At Takeover I thought Ciampa was going to be taken out of the match early as he has major shoulder issues. He hadn't wrestled for a month prior. He did a lot in the match but he was a lot less muscular.

Will be interested to see if they write him out at the tapings on Wednesday.

Because WWE doesn't give a poo poo about their lesser partners. They just took Drew Galloway out of the main event of the WWN supershow so he could be in the crowd at Takeover. No sympathy for the companies that got in bed with WWE though. Especially if they thought WWE would do anything differently this time around.

I think most of you care more than Gabe does tbh. He'll probably just move his show to the afternoon and do what he did in San Antonio and probably reap the benefits for doing so.

I mean if Evolve is going to piggyback off a WWE PPV, then you get conflicts with NXT sometimes.

Let's be fair here; neither does New Japan. They view CMLL as (near) equal partners, everybody else is completely inconsequential. They've used ROH to increase their wrestlers profile in America, and now they are running their own shows there. They've talked about starting their own American promotion and running regular shows. Do you think ROH will be spared talent raids if that were to happen?

Oh man, Almas is going to get Crews'd. No one is going to know who he is, his music sounds too much like Smooth, and while he's awesome, he's absolutely not ready for the main roster's problems.

I've heard people say New Evolution should be something like Owens, Joe, Hunter, and possibly Io Shirai.

Owens doesn't need it at all. I'd make it HHH, Joe, Almas and bring Adam Cole straight to the main roster when he signs.

Cole should be what Triple H was to Flair.

Well for a new evolution, you're gonna need a wiley, crafty vet. I'd say the Cerebral Assassin, Triple H fits the bill.
You're gonna need a leader, your top heel. Sounds like a job for the King of Kings, HHH to me.
Of course, you'll need the key to the future, a hotshot blue chipper to carry on through the coming years. I got a guy for ya, ever heard of the asskicker? That's Hunter, everyone calls him that.
And of course, the muscle. Here comes big Mojo Rawley.

Black is great in the ring but I think presence is absolutely his top quality. Dude just knows how to do every little thing to make you take notice of him as someone to fear. Corbin has really improved but it still feels like he's playing a character that is his idea of cool. Aleister Black doesn't feel like a character.

Black is pretty much the same character he was playing on the indies but with WWE production values, which was absolutely the right move

If Ciampa is really going to be on the shelf for a while after that shoulder surgery, NXT should have Gargano win the NXT title from Roode and then just bite the O'Reilly/Roddy program from PWG with Gargano in Kyle's spot. It would be a perfect way to get plenty of shine on Johnny while getting Roddy into his best role, the role that got him signed in the first place.

Yep. Gabe is being paid $3.5 million over the next 5 years by Flo Sports. Guaranteed pretty much there's no opt clause. A deal Triple H helped set up.

Gargano would make a good feud for Roode right now, but I still say Tye should be the one to take the belt off him.

Truther Vandross
Jun 17, 2008

Gabe not being a hardass about guys taking WWE offers is exactly why he now has Keith Lee, Dijak, ACH, Lio Rush and Kyle O'Reilly at his disposal.

Just about the only thing Gabe has any self-awareness about whatsoever is where EVOLVE exists in the grand scheme of things and I feel he's absolutely right for handling things how he is right now talent wise.

I commend him for allowing guys to leave and go try to earn good money before their bodies break down instead of trying to force them into working armories for a pittance because he can.
