Guest Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 As I said in the network thread, probably not smart to have this on the same day as AEW Fight for the Fallen. So I wish this was on Friday but still, between these shows and Extreme Rules, it should be a fun weekend. And a fun couple of months for some ECW alumni too. First Impact's TV tapings and now you know WWE's gonna want some legends to pop up too in the former ECW arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolve probably had the venue and whatever else booked months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 True, unfortunate would be a better word. Regardless, great exposure for Evolve. Their roster plus the talent from NXT and 205 Live make it a win-win for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushy. Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Kenny's two cents on WWE airing this Lmao regardless if its for charity or not, doesnt mean WWE cant air a random show to compete with them So its fine if it wasnt a charity show? Who cares. The people who will want to watch or attend, will do just that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Thats a stupid comment, this Evolve shows been booked for like two months. Riddle and Gulak was booked like a month ago. And *Censored* Kingston on WWE TV is gonna *censored*ing rule, bet there will be a 30 second delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushy. Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Eddie Kingston on WWE Network lmfao Ive known of him for years but never watched his work. Especially EVOLVE. Does he curse a lot there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 He does but he totally could do a show without cursing since he worked CHIKARA forever and they are notoriously family friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 This is going to be better than Fyter Fest, IMO. I don't know what other matches are booked for this...but the Riddle/Gulak match already sounds more hard-hitting and entertaining than anything booked for Fyter. Oh...and Cole vs Tozawa, I guess? Yeah...that sounds nuts too. There's no way Tozawa is winning the belt, but I'd kinda love it if he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Ah...well, it'll probably be better than that too. But, at least FFtF has a better card than Fyter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 What's funny is when people pointed out the Khans do business in SA too and then Kenny deleted his tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 It was that one retort yeah? Were you monitoring the situation closely? Or do you think the most likely option was that he realised the tweet was simply unnecessary and didn't need to remain out there? Because I think it's that.
