[10.0] "Awesome show . Great match after great match . In fact the only think that was not really good was the squash and that was fine . The only complaint I have is the constant ass kissing of the WWE . We get it already . Matches worth watching : Chris Dickinson vs. Darby Allin vs. Fred Yehi vs. Tony Nese , Jigsaw vs. Zack Sabre Jr. , Matt Riddle vs. Roderick Strong , Timothy Thatcher (c) vs. Marty Scurll , Catch Point (Drew Gulak & Tracy Williams) (c) vs. Drew Galloway & DUSTIN and my top match was Cedric Alexander vs. Johnny Gargano ."

[7.0] "A notable, packed show with a appreciative crowd that peaked in the middle with two competitors, Riddle & Strong, who appear well-suited for each other. Due to the lack of any backstory and some empty spaces I can't go higher than *** 1/2 but I do want to see them rematched again. I thought the wrestlers in the opener conformed to the position they were in, but also did not wear-out the crowd nor did they attempt to steal the show, The two title bouts were relatively unexceptional; Thatcher's moment in the zeitgeist appears to have, for now, passed and M Scrull's energy/mannerisms seemed prime for a different yet equally vibrant show. I've never really been a fan of 'Dustin' as a heavy heel; though he was stiffer than usual in the tag title match and slightly rose beyond his typical silly schtick he still lacks a (spiritually & physically) full-bodied persona. Even post-match when he was on the mic I found his aura and words still easily discardable... unlike Drew, there's really never a voluptuous full emotional presence. As a fan of his work elsewhere, though, I'm happy for him. In other action, Ethan Page is just not babyface material, D Allen has a death wish, ZSJ/Jigsaw had a good match though this is an instance in which ZSJ's arrogant mannerisms and the ease of how he would technically best Jigsaw got in the way of a very good match."

[8.0] "Der Opener war direkt sehr stark. Sehr schnell gehalten, sehr impactvoll mit einigen netten Nearfalls gut eingesetzten Stilmitteln und einer sehr guten Schlussphase. Sehr gutes Match (****)! Szene danach super gemacht. Das 4 Way Match war ebenfalls richtig stark. Habe das Tempo dieses Matches in Bezug auf die Schlussphase und besonders das Finish geliebt (*** 1/2). Ethan Page squasht YUTA, für die 3 Minuten war das doch ganz okay (*). ZSJ vs. Jigsaw war mal was anderes. Ich fand die Midphase mit der Gliedmaßen-Doktorarbeit von beiden echt stark. Schlussphase dazu gut mit nettem Kimura-Konter in den Brainbuster + Nearfall. Insgesamt ein ziemlich gutes Match (*** 3/4). Riddle vs. Strong war dann extrem stark. Super Matchaufbau, starke Anfangsphase, großartige Schlussphase mit passendem und gut dargestelltem Finish. Die Sequenz davor, als Strong on fire war, passte da perfekt. Großartiges Match (**** 1/4). Scurll vs. Thatcher war zwar solide, aber enttäuschend. Wird echt Zeit, dass Thatcher den Gürtel abgibt (*** 1/4). Der ME ging mir leider deutlich zu lang und war phasenweise echt langweilig. Die Schlussphase war gut. Chucky T und Galloway als Champs gefallen mir dennoch sehr (***). Chuckys Promo am Ende war dann noch mal ganz nett. Insgesamt sind das dann 7, 82 von 10 Punkten - "gut"."

[8.0] "Match of the Night hier war klar für mich Matt Riddle vs. Roderick Strong das war richtig, richtig stark und ist Empfehlenswert (****1/4) auch den Opener fand ich sehr stark ebenfalls Empfehlenswert (***3/4). Der Main Event war gut ging mir aber zu lang (***). Zack vs Jigsaw war auch richtig gut doch so richtig machte es auch hier wieder nicht klick bei mir (***1/4). Was ich auch noch gut fand war wieder mal Timothy vs Marty der auch hier wieder Finger brach (***). Insgesamt war das ein sehr starkes EVOLVE mit fast nur guten bzw. sehr guten Matches, 8 Punkte."

[9.0] "It has been quite some time since i really liked a promotion that much, that i couldn't wait for their next show. EVOLVE keeps delivering month after month. From start to finish, every event is exciting and fun. First of, Cedric Alexander vs Gargano was a very fast paced, hard hitting match. The 4way was a crazy spotfest. Riddle vs Strong was another example why the BROfessor is the real deal. It was also very nice to see Roderick one more time in EVOLVE. Thatcher vs Scurll stole the show for me with their match. Hope to see more of the Villain in the States. The tag match in the end was unexpected and that made it even more cool. Generally, another great night of pro-wrestling."

[9.0] "Eine der besten EVOLVE Shows des Jahres: Mit gargano/Alexander, Jigsaw/Sabre jr, Riddle/Strong und Scurll/Thatcher gab es gleich vier starke und vorallem unterschiedliche Matches. Das Four Way Match war unterhaltsam. Alle haben versucht Darby Allin zu killen, inklusive im selbst. Main Event war mir zu einseitig und dafür zu lang."

[9.0] "A super fun show with great wrestling and a major story moving everything along. Hot opener with Alexander and Gargano was followed up by the reveal of DUSTIN as the new ally of Drew Galloway. Darby Allin got himself over by nearly killing himself, and Tony Nese has broken away from the shackles of Caleb Konley. Jigsaw reestablished himself on the big stage with a great showing against Zack Sabre Jr. Roderick Strong returned and elevated Matt Riddle to an even higher standing in a superb contest. Marty Scurll performed well, but Timothy Thatcher as EVOLVE Champion has been worn out. Very good Tag Title match to cap it off, let's see how Dustin and Drew run with the titles, and how Catch Point react, especially with the division between TJP and Riddle."

[9.0] "CHUCKIE T IS BACK BABY! Or should I say Dustin. Wow, was this show a surprise hit. With an odd card, with people like Jigsaw and Darby Allin coming out of nowhere and stealing the show, this was a great event. Every match on this card was enjoyable, even the squash. The EVOLVE Title match was a bit weak as it seems Thatcher is having a tough year but Scurll was a pleasure to watch. Watch this ASAP!"

[8.0] "Highlights for me: Gargano vs Alexander was beautiful wrestling, even if the "WWE" connection is tenuous. Tony Nese increasingly a big deal, in a great four way with Yehi (great talent), Chris Dickinson and increasingly impressive Darby Allin. Matt Riddle vs Strong was a war and I loved it. Plus, the formation and crowning of Chuck "Dustin" Taylor and Drew Galloway as EVOLVE Tag Team Champions. Galloway & Taylor's promo work was excellent. Negative: people are past tired of Timothy Thatcher, that he can still have good matches is only half the point, his reign has gone too long and any efforts to protect him now only serve to hurt him, the title and the promotion. Marty Scurll as champion would have been a breath of fresh air and rescued us from a seemingly endless feud with Catch Point, which is threatening to last months. Hopefully it leads to Riddle with the title, if Catch Point are the ones to dethrone Thatcher. Ultimately, a very fun show."
