Andrew Everett vs Tony Niese

 

 

I missed the Baretta match while cooking dinner. Everett selling his knee better than Kushida did at Dominion. Niese trying to get heat. 3 matches in a row of SoCal Val on the outside is too much. Take JJ Dillon's advice sometimes less is more. We get a this is awesome chant. The crowd is setting the bar low. Still a pretty solid bout. Both guys lack a charisma. 2 1/2*

Chris Hero vs Trevor Lee

 

 

These guys had a killer match last Evolve show they faced. Will's twin is taking photo's tonight. Hero is so much fun to watch. Hero's has a variety of strikes and they're all nasty. Finally, Hero makes a mistake and Lee lights him up with kicks. Great Superman punch by Lee. Lee walked right into a roaring elbow. Lee with that cross body belly to belly. Good match. I loved the finality, and nastiness of the finish. It lacked the dynamic of the last match between the 2. 3 1/2* Hero making a run at my top 5 wrestlers in the world.

Sabre Jr. vs Roddy Strong

 

I'm really stoked here. They had a MOTYC in PWG earlier this year. Some mat work to start. The mat work is real dynamic. The 1st part was Sabre Jr. on the mat. Now Strong begins to enforce his style. Sabre Jr. attempts a Breaks Special, but Roddy escapes the attempt. Roddy begins to punish the back. Strong swings Sabre Jr . into a metal post. Strong all over him. Strong makes Zack pay for a rope break. Sabre J rmaking a comeback. Sabre jr just destroyed Strong's elbow, and he did it again. Sabre jr going after the arm. Strong battles back. I loved how Strong's arm was fucked so he's using knee strikes. Loving Zack going after the arm at all angles. These guys have been in a war. That was one hell of a match. It went a little long. I thought we were going to get a 30 minute draw until the finish. 4 1/4*

Galloway vs Thatcher

 

This is non title. Thatcher is a top 10, maybe top 5 guy. Galloway is a top 25-50 guy. Thatcher challenges for the title and Galloways says yes in a long about way.I'm really digging this. Galloway going after Thatcher's head which ties into his ear injury that he missed 5 weeks. The under the ring thing was unique. Thatcher selling the arm big. Galloway goes after it. Now Thatcher is doing payback spots and going after Galloway's arm. These guys had their work cut out getting the crowd back after the last match. They've gotten it slowly but surely. Great finish. These guys had a strong match. Some Thatcher detractors say he's one dimensional and his opponent has to work his style. Whatever, I'll say they did a great job incorporating both guys styles and had a real compelling match. 4*

 

 

Overall I thought this was a really good show and gets a thumbs up for me. The last 3 matches were really awesome.

Thatcher/Galloway was actually a title match and Thatcher won the titles.

 

Evolve 46 was a fun show. Thatcher/Hero and TJP/Sabre were both MOTYC's I thought. If you like the style, you should make a point to see Thatcher live at least once. He's so great at psychology and Hero was trying to break his ear drums with headbutts and elbows to the ear. This was my first time seeing Zach live and he's pretty good. He and TJP had a match that was almost all armwork and trying to get out of armbars.It was quite fun. I also loved the Hooligans/Savages/Cade and Solo FIP tag title match. It was a crazy brawl which featured Cade getting powerbombed into the wall right in front of me.Rest of the Evolve matches were ok to good but way too much So Cal Val on these shows. I like her but she's no Sherri Martel. Drew/Trent was good but I'm glad it wasn't the main event. Nothing could top Hero/Thatcher.
