“I’ve had this feeling before,” EVOLVE co-founder Gabe Sapolsky said. “The excitement level from everyone on the first show is incredible. You can see it in the blogs they’ve written, videos they’ve made and promos they’ve cut at EVOLVEwrestling.com. Being a part of this show means a lot to everyone on the roster. We are all prepared. We are all ready to make an impression on you. I’ve never, and this isn’t just hype, but I really have never seen a group of talent that is this hungry. They are hungry for this stage. They are hungry to make a buzz for themselves. They are hungry for this opportunity. Tonight is their night to shine. We hope you will join us so you can make it happen.”
