Backstage EVOLVE I-PPV News & Notes Inside
- Replays of the EVOLVE 7 I-PV event are now available at https://www.wwnlive.com/signup.php?id=231
- Austin Aries was said to be very ill the day of the show.
- There were no injuries coming out of the show.
- Before the show started, one of the ring ropes snapped. The company did what they could with it, taping the ropes together and hoping that it would hold. The rope reportedly held up just fine all night. The ring they were using belonged to Gino Caruso.
- Jinsei Shinzaki, Prince Nana and Pinkie Sanchez were in attendance.
- Gabe Sapolsky stated that the show was a success, as they had their strongest walk-up attendance for any EVOLVE event and that was following their strong advance sale.
- Sapolsky also says that the show did very well on I-PPV, doing just slightly under the numbers that DGUSA did on WrestleMania weekend. Sapolsky hopes that the Internet PPV revenue was going to help the company replace money lost from the DVD business going down.
- The farewell the company did for Jon Moxley was a complete surprise to him.
- The plan is to return to BB Kings in July. They may add another date before July if they find a strong location somewhere in the Northeast.
