5 things you need to know from Evolve 131

#4 Catch Point reunites for the 10th Anniversary of Evolve

Catch Point till the end

In the earlier years of Evolve, there was a group of highly technical mat-based performers known as Catch Point. While not necessarily the leader, Drew Gulak was the primary speaker for the group, while Riddle was one of four other men, including TJ Perkins, Tracy Williams, and Fred Yehi.

The group was focused on bringing their style of wrestling back into the limelight of the industry. In a time where high-flying spot fests had become the norm, these men were focused on proving just how important the basics were. And though the group has since dissolved, many of the members still feel this way.

Gulak, especially, has taken this thought process all the way to 205 Live, where he's the reigning Cruiserweight Champion. Riddle is currently in NXT and has been one of the most dangerous competitors in the roster thanks to his MMA based style and exceptional striking and ground game. Though we saw these two face off recently on NXT, we got a serious showcase out of them at Evolve 131.

It was a wrestling clinic, with the majority of the match based around the two men transitioning into different submission holds, the rest filled with some heavy hitting strikes. From start to finish, it was a technical masterpiece mixed in with some incredible feats of strength from the King of Bros and the Submission Specialist.

Riddle would end up pinning the Cruiserweight Champion following BroDerick. However, Gulak wasn't upset at the outcome, and motioned for a mic. He thanked Riddle for the contest, stating that it was always an honor, and was always ready whenever Riddle wanted to go at it again. The duo then hit the iconic Catch Point pose.

It was a great moment that not only highlighted the ability of both men, but served as a celebration of the history of Evolve.
