Evan Markopoulos

[Cabers]

The most recent contestant on Gutcheck is a young 18 year old from Massachusetts, Evan Markopoulos let your opinions be heard!!

I was actually impressed with him first off he did a brilliant dropkick early on in the match and it was a nice free flowing match i think i would give him the contract he is only 18 and is easily the 2nd best wrestler to have participated in Gutcheck to date.


He gets my Seal of Approval.


Disagree, Agree leave your opinion!

He is 18. That should warrant them signing him.
He can stay in OVW for 7 years and still be young.

Does anyone else have any other film on him? I can't find anything on Youtube or Dailymotion for the kid outside of his vignette and match with Doug Williams.

I liked him, although Doug looked a little stiff during their match, don't know if it was just me, though.

Williams actually tweeted about that. He was getting so much crap from the fans about it. He said something along the lines of "there's a difference between something being stiff and looking stiff." I'm guessing no one else complained about it because from what I gathered, they were all pleased in the match as a whole. The only comment that was made that I liked was that he (Williams) felt that Evan should have gotten some more offense in, but the match as a whole served the purpose of seeing how the 18 year old would preform on live TV.

Honestly, I think it was the right decision. This was the first GutCheck I was actually invested in (outside Sam Shaw getting jumped by A&8) since Joey Ryan. I thought the kid showed promise and Williams made the match look brutal with the kid doing a good job selling some shots that "appeared" to be be stiff (according to Williams). By them saying No to this kid that the Impact Zone seemed to be behind, it actually made the segment appear to have some credibility which it hasn't had since giving Silva the first contract.
