Evolution 2005 fallout |
Time to take a look at the fall out from Evolution 2005. Once
again, Evolution proved to be an amazing weekend of wrestling
action that had plenty of twists and turns. It also saw the most
shocking conclusion to an EPW event…….ever!!
-The change in Richter and his eventual title victory had to be
the biggest shock of the year. He aligned himself with Havok and
Anella to further his quest for the title before taking the
title from Mikey in highly dubious circumstances. He took
advantage of a loophole to cash in his title shot directly after
Mikey had successfully retained the title against Jag, Havok and
Jimmy Payne. It was a mere formality after Richter chokeslammed
Mikey over the top rope and through a table. While many may not
agree with Richter’s new method, you can not dispute its
effectiveness as he has become the fifth man to wear the EPW
title.
-Rove McManus’ appearance was an unexpected bonus for Explosive
Pro Wrestling. Lukey and Davis Storm certainly didn’t look like
they were expecting him to be there. Psychofett may not have
picked up the win over Storm but the sight of him, Rove and Brad
locking the figure 4 leglocks on the ForeFathers of Perth
wrestling was a thing of beauty.
-The shock re-emergence of Tommy Cartel on Night 1 to conclude
the gauntlet match with Azazal was really quite incredible.
Without Xeriyous Blade, Cartel seems like he has changed his
outlook on wrestling. He looked sensational and it is rumoured
that FN Carnage has taken an interest in the young man’s career.
He has offered himself as a mentor to Cartel. We are unsure
whether or not Cartel has accepted or not yet.
-The split of the Serial Thrillers must rank a mention. Lukey
forced them to disband after they failed to become #1 contenders
to the tag titles on Night 1. Although it seemed as if Lukey was
simply after retribution due to the fact that Justin Sane turned
down his offer to join the ForeFathers. Now Brad and Justin find
themselves out on their own for the first time in two years. It
will be interesting to see what the future holds for these
former tag team champions.
-The emergence of the ForeFathers as having a serious agenda. It
seemed as if all they were ever going to do was whinge that EPW
and the rookies of EPW had held them back for two years. They
consider anyone who wasn’t at the original Awakening to be an
intruder who is trespassing on what they created. But Evolution
showed that these four men will force their agenda by being as
disruptive to EPW events as possible. Their beat down of GST and
Michelle ranks as one of the dirtiest sneak attacks in EPW
history. Michelle has not recovered from the Kryptonite Krunch
that she received from Davis Storm and will be out of action for
some time to come. Lukey used his spot on the Board of Directors
to make a few spiteful decisions over the weekend. These guys
are going to be a handful unless EPW can contain the problem in
the near future. They seem to be gaining a small measure of
support from some of the disgruntled wrestlers who are sick of
being passed over for the young talent in EPW. This will be an
interesting situation to watch. |
