Zitat:EVOLVE is in the final stages of completing its roster for the January 16th debut in Rahway, NJ. We now know that the main event will be a dream match pitting Davey Richards vs. Kota Ibushi. This will be worth the price of admission alone. However, EVOLVE's goal is not to be a dream match promotion.
EVOLVE officials have thoroughly scouted the independent scene in both the United States and Japan. EVOLVE has sought out talented athletes with skill, heart and the hunger to shine on a bigger stage. EVOLVE will assemble the new generation on January 16th and cut them loose to see who is the very best. This will be a night of fresh faces and new stars.
A recent example of this was the first bonus match on the 11/28 DGUSA event. Kyle O'Reilly and Adam Cole both entered the ring as relative unknowns. They battled back-and-forth in an exciting bout that won over the hard-to-please Philly faithful. Another example was the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup a few weeks ago in Florida. 16 relatively untapped talents competed in a memorable, hard-fought weekend tournament and proved that if given the spotlight, they will shine.
EVOLVE will have some independent veterans. It will present some of the best talent going today. It will feature some names that you know. However, the fun will come with the new generation of hungry, talented and unique athletes that are ready for this opportunity. We hope you will approach EVOLVE with an open mind and give these young men a chance. The rewards will follow.
