I haven't seen him in over a year, but Shane is his own guy, there's very little of Swann inside him, he was really good in CZW. Ironically, the rivalry against Swann is what made him.
I'll give him a few shows to win me over. But at 36 and at previous Evolve shows I've seen him he was almost all flips. Not to mention calling himself "Swerve", the nerve of him

Just finished watching Evolve 37. Well, it was a good little show.

- Anthony Nese vs Shane Strickland was a decent match for what it was.

- Timothy Thatcher vs Roderick Strong was a bit slow, but still pretty fine.

- Trevor Lee vs AR Fox was turning out to be a fucking good match, too bad it ended in match stoppage.

- Biff Busick vs Uhaa Nation was good! I always like watching these two compete.

- EVOLVE Championship Match: Drew Galloway vs Ricochet was just great, loved it! MOTN for me, easily.

- Ronin (Johnny Gargano, Rich Swann & Chuck Taylor) vs The Bravados & Moose was a really solid, fun match. Just good stuff all the way through.

Caught both events today after work. I enjoyed both of them.

A few notes:

I was shocked by the amount of people in the Orpheum for 36. The venue on camera doesn't look like it holds that many people but once Drew and Roddy went out of the ring there was actually a decent amount of people seated in the venue. The Winter park venue looks cooler with the bleachers and if it could be filled up with a bit more people will also look good on camera. But that's something for Evolve to work on long term.

Content wise. Both shows delivered. 36 felt like more of the kickstart show and 37 was a vehicle to set up some big matches for Mania weekend, but both nights delivered.
The best matches in my mind from 36 was Drew vs Roddy (I could watch those two pummel each other to shit anytime), Ricochet vs Thatcher and Busick vs Lee. And the best matches from 37 was Busick vs Uhaa, Drew vs Ricochet and Thatcher vs Strong. The Ronin reunion was also a good one, especially if you were around during the original Ronin run.

Other notes from the events: Galloway is a stud. As long as Gabe has access to him he should build Evolve around him. He's big, charismatic, athletic and he is on fire. Evolve and ICW seem like his two main focuses right now and I hope it continues, because he has done a lot of good for Evolve so far. Easily the best world champ in Evolve history(well, the only world champion). It was also fun to see how much the Ronin boys have grown over the years. They started out as comedy undercard guys and are now the cocks of the walk so to speak. Now all I need is the PAB back at full force and I'll be happy.

Definitely a good start to 2015 for Evolve.

Been watching the 36. Gargano is the worst. Florida fans are the worst. Florida is the worst. Srsly doe, is there anything worse than LOLRIDA in the US?

Roddy and Drew are class.
