18/05/06 - The History Of Evolution


On May 11th 2002, Explosive Coastal Wrestling, as it was then, held an event called Evolution. After a slow start as a promotion, this was the night that ECW’s fortunes changed. The Wanneroo Civic Centre was jam packed with over 350 fans as the wrestler set about doing everything in their power to make an impact that would not be forgotten. FN Carnage won a tremendous match against Damien Kross while in the main event, Davis Storm pinned Jimmy Payne to become the very first Explosive Coastal Wrestling champion. It was also the night that Mikey turned his back on Jimmy Payne, much to the chagrin of the fans.

This monumental event laid the foundation for one simple premise that still stands today. Evolution is an event where you make your mark in Explosive Pro Wrestling.

The following year, EPW reformatted the Evolution concept to make it a two night event. And it had been that way ever since. And with that innovation, Evolution has been voted the Event of the Year by our fans for the past three years straight.

2003 saw the crowning of the very first EPW tag team champions in the Brat Pack. FN Carnage and Jamie Jurah shocked everyone by defeating the team of Jimmy Payne and Davis Storm.

Evolution would continue to be a kind event to FN Carnage as he would headline in 2004 in a Taped Fists Street Fight. His opponent was the Australian wrestling Icon, Lobo. Together, they helped redefine what two individuals would put themselves through to hold the EPW championship. Carnage emerged the winner from a classic brawl that it still one of the greatest matches in EPW history.

Of course the only thing better than surviving one great Australian wrestler, is to outlast three. And that’s exactly what Mikey did in 2005 as he tackled Jimmy Payne, Jag & Havok in a four way elimination match. This was one of the most sensational main events that EPW has ever had. In the end it came down to Mikey and Jag with the ‘Rising Star’ scoring a roll up over his arch nemesis.

Evolution has become synonymous with classic EPW moments and matches. And this year’s should be no exception. Be sure to get your tickets to both nights so you don’t miss a moment of the action.
