EVOLVE 8: Style Battle

EVOLVE 8: Style Battle

2011

The concept of the first ever Style Battle tournament is simple. EVOLVE took eight wrestlers, each representing a different style, and pitted them against each other in a one night single elimination tournament. This was a special event focused on determining the best style of wrestling and did not effect each wrestler's record. The only win that matters is the man left standing at the end of the night. He will go down in history as the first Style Battle winner. EVOLVE 8: STYLE BATTLE First Round Matches: AR Fox (High-Flying) vs. Rich Swann (Swann Style) Austin Aries (Hybrid) vs. Bobby Fish (Puroresu Jr. Heavyweight) Brodie Lee (Super Heavyweight) vs. Sami Callihan (Hard Hitting) Jon Davis (Power) vs. Tony Nese (Standing Combat) Plus Semi-Finals & Finals Non-Tournament Matches: The New Havana Pitbulls vs. The SAT FRAY! with the winner going to Dragon Gate USA featuring Scott Reed, Cheech Hernandez, Brian XL, Blain Rage, Kory Chavis, Pinkie Sanches, Derek Ryze & Ahtu

Movie
The WWE has historically integrated competing wrestling organizations into its global machine. It’s not a longshot to assume that TNA Impact will eventually fall under the WWE umbrella. And in the spirit of the Guest Booker series, we ask “what if?”, as we have Kevin Sullivan and Gabe Sapolsky take the hypothetical spot in booking the newly acquired TNA, for Vince and the WWE. Sullivan brings to the table a pedigree of booking knowledge that extends back to his mentors Vince J. McMahon and Eddie Graham. Gabe Sapolsky learned under Paul Heyman, who was a student of Kevin’s. Now, they must sit down together and use the tools of their generation to make a TNA Impact takeover work well for wrestling’s biggest federation. Can two different schools of thought retain mutual respect and produce a product that is consistent and interesting? We will find out as Gabe and Kevin open up their heads and sort through the rosters, angles, and champions in Guest Booker!
