sadly the iPPV is completely unwatchable for me. Freezes every 30 seconds and you need to restart the whole log in each time. Hope it is better for other people. No idea who has won the opening matches. Just going to keep it going for the main event, maybe it will be possible to watch a re-run of the event later on. Very disappointing but not unexpected with iPPV events I had the same problem. It got be too much so I gave up. I've never had this much of a problem with any iPPV before. This was a total waste of money and a huge disappointment. |

Is it being done by a company that does other iPPVs? It took Go Fight Live and the Dragon Gate one a while before they worked out the bugs. Even then, iPPV is never a sure thing as far as everything working correctly.

It was really choppy for me at first, but it's been getting better as it goes on. The replay probably won't have the same issues as the live broadcast.

If you ordered it, you'll be able to watch the replay in HD.
It's been a pretty damn good show so far. Davids v Rhia and KLR v Jacobs were tremendous, Rhia's improved so much since being at SPARKLE. This has been well worth the money, despite the choppy feed. Try and catch the HD replay it should be better quality and the matches are worth it.

I had quite a few problems in the first half of the show with the quality of the feed (seems like most people did) but thankfully that got better as the show went on. Some good matches and the main event was impressive considering the injury from earlier on.
There were two bonus matches from last year advertised for people who bought the internet feed one featuring Britani Knight. How do you go about seeing them?

They had to abandon them due to technical issues.
The rest of the results...
Nikki Storm b. Big Van Viper
Kay Lee Ray b. April Davids (KLR got injured during the match, and they had to improvise the finish)
PRO WRESTLING EVE TITLE MATCH: Jenny Sjodin vs. Alpha Female - DOUBLE COUNT OUT (Sjodin and Alpha went through a table and couldn't answer the count)
Glamour Gym b. Team Blossom
Nikki Storm b. Kay Lee Ray to win the Queen of the Ring
Amazing show, Pro Wrestling EVE did so well on their biggest stage yet. The next big show is on July 14th, hopefully that'll be an iPPV as well.

They said they couldn't play them due to technical difficulties and they would be posted for free at some point.

Right then, just got back. Initial thoughts on the show.... (SPOILERS AHOY!)Let's get the not-so-good stuff out of the way first... - Rhia jobbing on the undercard again. - The double count-out for the title bout. Yeah, I know it sets up a three way title match for the next show but after all that build up, it just felt a bit meh (particularly at the end of a very good match). - Nikki not winning all her matches clean. I know she's a heel, but winnning by disqualification against Viper and then having to cheat to beat Kay Lee (who was already carrying an 'injury' in the final) just didn't seem neccessary. Other than that, it was, as usual for Eve, a show of much awesomeness, including... - Kay Lee Ray continuing to be amazing and it was a very pleasant surprise to see her progress to the QotR final. - Kirsty Love and Viper, getting better all the time, and Kirsty's charisma/showmanship is off the chart. - The Blossom's long overdue Eve debut and match against the Glamour Gym. Annoying to see the heels win, but understandable I guess to set up up a feud for Eve's upcoming Tag Titles. - Not one bad match all night. As much as I ain't thrilled about some of the results (Rhia!), the action was top class from everyone on the card. Overall, another great Eve night. And one which I can now watch again right now. The expected outstanding DVD's ended up not being available tonight after all, cos of supplier problems... But in a definitive case of one extreme to another, Eve were able to sell tonight's show immediately after it concluded!  |

Okay then my thanks to themib and evergrey06 for explaining about the bonus matches. It is a shame there were technical problems during the first half of the show but I guess you have to expect teething problems when trying something new for the first time.

Eve stated on their Twitter that the replay will not be "in HD." It wasn't shot in HD. It's the DVD version.

Yeah, I know it sets up a three way title match for the next show but after all that build up, it just felt a bit meh (particularly at the end of a very good match). - Nikki not winning all her matches clean. I know she's a heel, but winnning by disqualification against Viper and then having to cheat to beat Kay Lee (who was already carrying an 'injury' in the final) just didn't seem neccessary. I would agree with all the above, and add that it is disappointing to see Janey B in the 'designated jobber' role. Each time I see her matches I get the feeling she can take it up to another level, but there isn't really the chance as those bouts are usually short. The title match overall would have to be a disappointment. Yes, the table spot was insane and the work before that was really good, but just as the match seemed to be getting heated up, it was over. The impression from the build-up was that it would be the main event and be quite lengthy, but the result just kind of leaves both Jenny & Alpha in a holding pattern which helps nobody. Nikki Storm is money. She cuts great promos and can back it up in the ring. Yeah the final should have been a clean win. Kay Lee Ray already had an 'out' with the injury so no further shenanigans were needed. The result kind of protects the loser more than triumphing the winner I feel. Oh and I thought Rhia had her best match yet, and while she's relishing in the heel role, she seems stuck in the lower rungs. I'd say in addition to Kay Lee Ray who showed tons of guts considering the injury, the Glamour Gym were probably the stand-outs for me. The tag match and the KLR/Carmel Jacob contest were the best of the evening I thought. They play their roles/gimmick perfectly. I also thought that both Jenny & April benefited greatly from toning down the MMA-ness of their offence. Hopefully EVE can keep growing and get back in a position where they can do double-headers again like the last shows at Nottingham (or another large city), and also to continue with the iPPV route. Overall, some bamboozling booking, but some really strong wrestling. |
