Jack Evans

[7.0] "Fun to watch but he IS flippy shit. Every match I saw him in was a spot fest of guys doing a lot of random moves just to do them and pop the crowd. That's why he never achieved bigger success in wrestling."

[7.0] "Jack was an innovator, a pioneer of the current style of high flying wrestling and one of the many reasons why the 2000's indy scene was one of the best periods of Indy Wrestling. He has had his problems and even admitted that he got lazy in AEW, but Jack deserves his flowers."

[4.0] "Like Teddy Hart, Jack Evans is why high flying wrestlers get an undeserved bad rep nowadays, just like Khali and Omos did for the powerhouses. No ring psychology, just spamming of high flying moves for crowd pops, when the greats Like Rey and Eddie told stories through their moves."

"A bold and incredibly creative Lucha-style wrestler, Evans never fails to amaze you at every turn. I dare say he deserves to be described as a genius. A rating of 7.2 is simply too low; I must give him a perfect 10 to balance it out. Don't be stingy, everyone!"

[9.0] "He is really versatile and can do crazy stuff for his age a really underrated and underapreciated wrestler who deserved much more."

[3.0] "Never been a big fan and his AEW run was one of the most empty and forgettable tenures in the company's short history. Doesn't have any charisma for me and his work is all built on how fluid and impressive he moves (and leaps) so when that finesse is diluted by injuries, you get a lot of dull wrestling."

[4.0] "When Jack Evans was good, he was GREAT. But his career went downhill haaaard. His run ever since starting AEW has been atrocious, he can barely land half his moves anymore and he refuses to change anything about his moveset. I remember when he almost paralyzed himself trying to do some 630 backflip thing at a GCW show, he's lucky to be alive but insists on still trying to kill his legacy. Just why?"

[7.0] "Solid high flyer, okay on the stick but a very underrated talent. Many remember for his flips only, but I genuinely think he has a very fun moveset. Reminds me of modern workers like Dante Martin and people at the same time as him such as Matt Sydal. Very creative with spots. Only reason he is a 7 is due to the fact he does botch a good amount, sometimes to the detriment of his health. 7."

[5.0] "All I recall is him getting fired for doing so many flips that he ended up being sick all over the place. I'll give Evens his due: he's probably one of the best spot-monkeys ever in his prime and someone who was doing shit that I don't think anyone has done as smoothly or as frequently since. His appeal was unique in the early ROH days because no one was doing what he was doing in the ring: essentially a indie Jeff Hardy in his appeal to fans and how he'd be thrown with big acts to be flung around and never win, but always get in some good shots and get over. Here's the issue: he never learned how to actually work a match, and only started to do such a thing when his body started to drastically break down from his intense workrate. His strikes are weak-looking and his technique/mat work is really lacking, more seeming like a way to pad things until the next spot. Evens visibly struggles when he's not allowed to do big spot after big spot and his AEW run was defined by his incapability to adapt beyond botching spots over and over. There are some good matches in the second stage of his career but it's mostly him struggling with a generally faster style of wrestling with a older and more worn down body."

[9.0] "To me he is easily one of the greatest high-flyers of all time. He was high-flying before it was cool and I believe he inspired many names like Ricochet and Will Ospreay. He botches a little too much but he is very creative in the ring and I think he is solid on the mic too. He's such a solid wrestler that never fails to entertain the audience. A well deserved 9 from me."

[5.0] "A very solid high flyer with an innovative style during his prime but for the past 8 or so years jack Evans has just been pretty hard to watch."

[8.0] "Previously, he was positioned mainly as an "addition" to Teddy Hart and not very successfully performed in the growing CZW and ROH. He was just a young athletic guy, but after that he started to make a name for himself, starting to wrestle in PWG and AAA, where he later teamed up with Angelico - one of my favorite teams in AEW, which is mercilessly buried (although Jack himself admitted that in this It's also his fault.) He's been a spot wrestler his entire career, but that style wasn't as common before and Jack's skills seemed phenomenal. His 630 splash is just a work of art. Unfortunately, in recent years he has lost his form and started to botch a lot, but he is still quite capable of putting on an amazing match."

[3.0] "I'm sure Jack Evans had a successful career prior to coming to AEW, but I haven't seen that so I am only basing this score on his AEW tenure. Jack Evans is not very good. He botches a big important spot at least once almost every match. I commend attempting to do flips and stuff but if you can't do it safely just stop trying them. In other areas, his striking is poor and unconvincing. He has one of the most bland looks on the AEW roster. I'd suggest he retire at this point to avoid serious injury either to himself or his opponents, and to keep at least some of his prior legacy from getting overshadowed by his poor work in AEW."

[6.0] "I like Evans, but whatever impressive moves and career he has had in the past clearly isn't coming through in AEW and it really sucks since he could be doing so much better and proving everyone wrong. I actually find Angelico's matches more interesting because of Evans' frequent botching and same old moves every single match. He doesn't have much to offer right now and it's disappointing."

[7.0] "Evans' age and fitness are catching up with him (as he's even admitted as much) but he is still a fun wrestler to watch and willing to do crazy spots for any match no matter the stakes or card placement."

[7.0] "Very gifted high-flyer with an innovative move set. High respects, but too haphazard to get him past mid-card. I think what he needs is more time on-screen in AEW, book TH2 in dynamite, or rampage for that matter. More prominence, but no big matches with a lot to lose"

[4.0] "Reading a lot of other reviews, I can respect that Evans has had a lot of success in his career, but in AEW I haven't seen it. He's just so sloppy, and it seems like he has a bad botch every match. I don't think he's reliable enough to push into the spotlight, and without his high spots he doesn't add much to a match."

[8.0] "Has one of the most innovative move sets around, but whether its ROH, Dragon Gate, AAA, Lucha underground and now AEW can never get past the mid card."

[8.0] "The forefather of modern high flying. This dude can do things that even Ricochet and PAC have failed to showcase (i. e. Phoenix 630). It has been my pleasure to watch this guy in PWG, Dragon Gate, Lucha Underground, AAA, and now AEW."

[8.0] "I really enjoy his work and his character, the way he works the crowd is brilliant. It will be a shame to split the Hybrid2 but Evans would be a star in the AEW midcard, which is very light, the bratty flippy shitter who everybody hates, but someone who never gives up. I hope he gets the opportunity."

"Jack is the best, and you know this, MAAAN A true pioneer for the current gen of flippy dudes, except he's smoother and smarter than damn near all the others. Really hope he gets a moment in the sun before all is said and done."

[7.0] "Jack Evans along with Teddy Hart feels like the godfathers of indie-rific flippdie-doo wrestling. He seems to have dialed it down a notch in recent years, which I certainly appreciate. But I remember seeing him in Wrestling Society X and thinking "what's was the point? " with much of his move set. He worked well in Lucha Underground & I think Angelico is a good fit for him going forward in AEW. I would like to see the duo get a proper team name sometime soon."

[7.0] "Jack Evans is a creative daredevil, pulling off some crazy flips and dives. But he definitely needs the right opponent to have great matches, someone who can hold things together."

[10.0] "One of the most innovative American wrestlers of the last 15 years. Jack Evans has style and grace like few others in pro wrestling."

[8.0] "Honestly I'm not batting my eyes upon Jack Evans in his first days on Lucha Underground. He was trying to be attractive but somehow it only shows dull results and I think his power in wrestling only come from his foulmouthed personality, claiming that he is the best wrestler in the world. But I note that he is somehow trying to be a good villain. As time goes by, his push in Lucha Underground increased and I see something great upon him. He starts to throw some good matches, he tries to match the flexibility and aerial skills from luchadors like Drago, Fenix, or Aerostar, and this is the good part when he can bring his foulmouthed personality alongside his wrestling skills (now I see a true villain upon him). I also start to trace his past in ROH and AAA, and I find this man develops something way better than he ever did before. He maybe not good enough to be a Lucha Underground Champion, but retaining the trios title (either as heel or face, as I think he also had a great skill to be both) could be great for him. I also can't wait for him to hold the Gift of the Gods Championship. I see a bright future in Jack Evans as he always bringing a great performance and year by year he is better than before."

[10.0] "Jack Evans may seem like a crazy good high flyer, which he is, but he is so much more then that. A great tag and trios, and good single wrestler, with crazy good charisma amd character work, blending all this in to tell great stories in the ring."

[10.0] "Jack Evans is a really fun to watch high flyer that is good on the mike, breakdancing, and is very charismatic. He also makes who he is wrestling look great."

[7.0] "a rare example of a flippy high spot artist who actually has enough personality to distinguish himself from the other flippy high spot artists. i tend to enjoy seeing him on tv"

[8.0] "it's hard what you would call his wrestling style, definitely high flying for sure but he has elements of Gymnastics and Capoeira infused with Lucha Libre style moves, arguably one of the best American Luchadors to learn the style - with him actually get recognition in Mexico with AAA. for high flyer he is absolutely insane and one of the most entertaining wrestlers to see, when not in high flying and fast paced matches he can do some good technical work as well although he is a far better flyer. his mic work has gotten better as well in more recent times, with a new breath of confidence in him as evidenced by his Lucha Underground promos. overall a very entertaining Cruiserweight wrestler"

[8.0] "A regular with ROH in the 2000s and a mainstay with AAA in Mexico since 2008, Evans is primarily known for his high-flying skills, and few can pull off such impressive aerial moves with such amazing regularity as him. Although in the past this style has had him sometimes pegged as a "spot-monkey, " his most recent major stateside role with Lucha Underground has shown him to have grown as a performer, adding a bit more context to the big spots he does, becoming a decent striker and an excellent seller in the process. With these skills as well as a certain RVD-like laid-back charisma, I wouldn't be surprised to see him rise to an even more prominent role within Lucha Underground as it goes into its second season."

[10.0] "So maybe I'm just a sucker for incredibly impressive spots, but Jack Evans pumps them out with such incredible skill and daring that you can't help but be impressed. One of the best in his style."

[10.0] "My favorite pro wrestler Jack Evans has the best moves and can do pretty much anything! Does his moves like they are the easiest things in the world. Always look forward to his matches!"

[4.0] "A very overrated wrestler, lot of years in Mexico and he can learn how to fight, ok, the guy can fly and is very flexible but ypu can win a match on that way, very bored and just the girls loves this guy, maybe can bring people every show but i dont like him."

[10.0] "Evans is a spot monkey, sure, however his spots are crisp and clean, AND his matches are always of great quality. I don't see the problem with being a spot wrestler if what you do is done well. Also, Evans has shown time and time again that he can wrestle a very technical match, and he can be a technically based wrestler if the match calls for it."

[2.0] "Evans is just a spot-monkey who can't really wrestle."
