I have very limited experience with watching EVOLVE matches though I have occasionally read up on their story lines. This time Flashback focuses on a match from EVOLVE 35 between the 'Messiah of the Backbreaker' Roderick Strong and the then fresh off the WWE Drew Galloway (known to most Indian fans as Drew McIntyre). Roddy has consistently been one of my top 5 non WWE wrestlers for the last several years and Galloway has had a career resurgence ever since he left the WWE. The match is quite entertaining and hard hitting with Roddy getting in most of his signature moves including a very painful looking back breaker on the apron and the double Gibson Driver. It even features a few references to Irish WWE superstar Sheamus including the commentator mentioning "He's a fine fella".
It isnt easy to come up with a new move these days but this was the first time that I have seen a cradle tombstone piledriver in 24 years of following pro wrestling. That looked dangerous! Overall a really great way for new fans to start their journey with Evolve Wrestling.
