Mike Johnson from this point on.
Thanks to Josh for filling in the stuff I missed.
My stream started with Chris Dickinson confronting the debuting Matt Riddle, a former UFC fighter. He complained that Riddle thinks he can walk in and get a spot on the roster. Riddle said he doesn't know who Dickinson is and he doesn't care because no one can stop him from getting what he wants. Dickson slapped him hard in the face. Larry Dallas, who was trying to sign Riddle, got in between them. Dickson laid him out. Security had to hold Dickson back from trying to get in Riddle's face.
Tracy Williams got in Dickson's face. Drew Gulak came out and said something to Riddle, who left with him.
There are some skeletons hanging above the ring. Not sure if that was the venue or EVOLVE's idea but it's pretty cool. Viva la Halloween Havoc!

Winner Receives EVOLVE title shot tomorrow: Trevor Lee vs. Drew Gulak
They had some really nice back and forth counter-wrestling measures against the other early. Lenny Leonard noted there was no number one for the company's most recent top ten list and that will change when the victor is determined here.
