Zitat:EVOLVE Divisions
There are three divisions for EVOLVE competitors. They are:

1) Official Singles Division: These wrestlers will concentrate on singles matches. All bouts between official wrestlers will count towards their record. Competitors become "official" either by invitation from the EVOLVE board of directors or by winning a qualifying match (see #3).

2) Official Tag Team Division: Tag teams become "official" either by invitation from the EVOLVE board of directors or by winning a qualifying match. An official team must register as a regular tag team. There will be no makeshift or random tag teams in EVOLVE. A trio can register as a tag team and select two competitors for a match. The trio can also compete in six man tag team matches. All matches between official teams will count towards their record. This means that both regular and six man tag team matches can count towards records. Note: Substitutions can be made in the event of injury to prevent wrestlers from having to rush back early from injury.

3) Qualifying Match: This can be any type of bout, including, but not limited to multi-man matches such as four-ways or various types of tag team bouts. A qualifying match will include competitors trying to earn their way into one of the official divisions. The results of this match will not count towards records. EVOLVE has sent out five invitations to compete in one of the official divisions. They have gone to Bobb

Zitat:Long road from home..........

I still remember the smell of my teams tracksuit, the dark red color of the mat that covered Othello High School. I remember my grandpa that morning telling me being a Richards means working harder than everyone else for what you want and by leading by example, so really the outcome didnt matter as long as left everything I had out there on the mat.
I remember the tingle that went up my spine as my name was called to wrestle, I remember Coach Garza handing me my ear gaurds. I remember looking at my grandpa and he gave his famous nod.
The whistle sounded.....soon thereafter I lost.
I was crushed, I wanted to quit.
Then something happened, I remember sitting on our porch on our farm talking with my grandpa about how I wanted to quit.
He asked me how my dinner tasted I was eating, how I like going fishing in our boat, how I liked my new school clothes. "Great", I said to everyone.
" If me and your Grandmother had quit everytime things got tough on this farm we wouldnt have any of this, nor would you have a roof over your head or food to eat, or clothes to wear".
Thats the first time I remember feeling that fire to outwork everyone, to lead by example, to not talk but to act.
I was 10 years old then, and after 16 years of wrestling that fire is still burning.

Fast forward 16 years, 2 amature state titles, cauliflowered ears, and a passion not only to be the best but the uphold my families creed: Seek out the best and outwork them.

This is how Ive Evolved.

This year many have said Ive more great matches then anyone, vs. KENTA, vs. Danielson, vs. SHINGO, vs. Omega, vs. Strong, ect.
Even WWE has come knocking.
But noone understands why, its not for attention I do this, its not for money, its not for notoriety. Its for my beliefes, my morals, my creed.
I am a man who belives hard work must be rewarded and laziness must be punished. Ive simply walked away from places before who I feel have not shared this moral with me.

Evolve is my oppurtunity to not seek out big paydays, not to seek out mainstream notoriety, or to even gain attention.
Evolve is my place to seek out the best, outwork them, and beat them. So I ask Evolve- Send me the best wrestlers on the planet, the hardest hitters, the most skilled fliers, the most technical mat wrestlers and test me. I live for this, I live for competition, I live for doing what Ive done for 16 years with pride, integrity, and heart: wrestling.
Send me the best..........
Send me the best so I may look up and know my grandpa is still looking down on me wrestling the same way he did when I was 10 years old, so I can still make him proud by following my families creed : outwork everyone and lead by example.
Send me the best so I may Evolve.
