Have fun Jim!

This Evolve show is also available as a live IPPV on Saturday here: www.wwnlive.com/ (apparently the DGUSA show I am going to at Wrestle Reunion 6 in 2 1/2 weeks is also a live IPPV show since it is listed on that website when you click on upcoming events.)

If I am not doing anything, I think I might order this show. The matches that interest me the most are Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet and the Super Smash Brothers vs Chuck Taylor and Rich Swann. I am also interested in this show partly because it would be historical as the last wrestling show at The Arena.

Good card to go out on.

CZW comes out and interupts them and they brawl which brings out Balls Mahoney with a chair and New Jack with a trash can of weapons. When ECW had the upperhand Justin Credible came out and attacked New Jack with the Singapore Cane which brought out Sabu which led to a match.

ECW
Sabu beat Justin Credible in a bloodbath

COMMENTS:I was almost hit by Justin Credible who was thrown into the fans and hit the guy in front of me

After the match Joey Styles came back out and said this is the perfect way to close out the arena when Sabu asked for the mic
Before he could talk Sami Calahan(Looking like TNA's ODB) and attacked Sabu beer bottle and the broken part of the bottle went flying into the fans saying he should close out the arena and this is his building. Show ends with Sami Calahan in the ring and the lights going out
