Paul A. Lunger went home to be with the Lord on May 24, 2022.

Born in Unityville, PA, he was the son of the late Martha (Green) and H. Grant Lunger. Mr. Lunger was a veteran of the U.S. Army, serving as a newspaper reporter at Ft Knox, KY. He was Soldier of the Month in October 1957. He earned his Bachelor's degree from Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC and earned his Master's in Education from University of Delaware, with additional studies in English at College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA.

Mr. Lunger began his career as an English teacher in Newark, DE for 12 years, where he also coached baseball for 5 years. He was then Youth Pastor at Faith Baptist Church in Wilmington, DE. For the next 2 years, he was Principal of Elkton Christian Schools in Elkton, MD, where he also served as Education Chair of Elkton Baptist College and Vice President of the Maryland Association of Christian Schools. For the next 5 years, he was Principal of Upper Bucks Christian School in Sellersville, PA, which grew from 185 students to 687 students under his administration. During this time, he also was Founder and President of the Keystone Christian Education Association, which grew to more than 60 schools while he was President, and was also a Board member of the American Association of Christian Schools. He then was the High School Principal of Chapel Christian Academy in Limerick, PA for 5 years, where he also taught Senior English. He finally served for 5 years as Headmaster at Lan-Chester Christian Schools in Coatesville, PA. Mr. Lunger retired to Delaware about 19 years ago. Throughout his life, he devoted himself to serving Jesus Christ in his career, personal actions and sharing the gospel with others.

Paul was an active member at numerous churches, most recently Faith Community Church in Camden, DE. He loved directing choirs at churches he attended, as well as singing solos in his baritone voice. He has coached and played various sports, including baseball, softball and basketball. He also enjoyed watching local sports, including the Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles and Sixers. He enjoyed gardening and was proud to share what he grew with his neighbors. He enjoyed hunting with family and friends on his family property in Lycoming County, PA, playing golf and tennis, and telling jokes and puns to make people laugh.

Mr. Lunger is survived by his wife of 63 years, Eloise (Frey) Lunger; three children: P. Brent Lunger and his wife Marta of Malvern, PA, Anilisa G. Lunger-Otte and her husband Timothy of Laguna Hills, CA and Brenda A. Lunger and partner Julia Watts of Houston, TX; his sisters-in-law, Mary Lunger of Hughesville, PA and Patricia Frey of Newark, DE; and eight grandchildren.

Killing Birds: Raptors (Zombie 5: Killing Birds, 1988)

"I feel like I killed him with my own hands."

"There was nothing you could do, nothing!"

#Killing birds #italian cinema #Blood tw #gore tw #Zombi 5 #Zombie flesheaters 4 #And like... A dozen other title variants #Claudio Lattanzi #joe d'amato #Sheila Goldberg #Daniele Stroppa #Lara Wendel #robert vaughn #Timothy W. Watts #Leslie Cumming #James Villemaire #Sal Maggiore #James Sutterfield #Lin Gathright #Brigitte Paillet #Nona Paillet #Ellis Paillet #The Zombi series‚ like most Italian film series‚ was born of corporate greed rather than artistic endeavour: one film is big (in this case #Romero's Dawn of the Dead‚ released in Italy as Zombi) so it gets a semi official sequel (Fulci's Zombi 2) and then‚ to meet demand‚ any #Old crap gets slapped with a new title to make it part of the canon (I say this with love). Thus we get this film‚ Zombi 5 (despite being #Made before the film that would become Zombi 4) which doesn't explicitly feature zombies at all (they might be demons or who knows what)#But does feature a lot of birds and a highly disinterested Robert Vaughn. Bless him‚ you can see him silently counting his pay and figuring #Out whether it's even worth being here. In his defence‚ he does have to endure some truly awful missing eye make up (not pictured) and an #Utterly meaningless script. He's onscreen for less than ten minutes tho‚ so mostly we're following the standard set up of Italian unknowns #Who must have sadly thought this was their big break. It wasn't to be. Still‚ it beats the La Casa set of films (numbers 4 and 5 at least)

Disability Rhetoric

by Jay Timothy Dolmage (2014)

Disability Rhetoric is the first book to view rhetorical theory and history through the lens of disability studies. Traditionally, the body has been seen as, at best, a rhetorical distraction; at worst, those whose bodies do not conform to a narrow range of norms are disqualified from speaking. Yet, Dolmage argues that communication has always been obsessed with the meaning of the body and that bodily difference is always highly rhetorical. Following from this rewriting of rhetorical history, he outlines the development of a new theory, affirming the ideas that all communication is embodied, that the body plays a central role in all expression, and that greater attention to a range of bodies is therefore essential to a better understanding of rhetorical histories, theories, and possibilities.

Two books I just learned about that I’d love to read.

I learned about Jay Dolmage through a talk given by Drew Holladay at a UMBC conference on Inclusive Language. From an interview with Dolmage about the book Disability Rhetoric, on how we might “claim new models of communication and artistry” and which writers and artists are already doing this

Lots and lots and lots of them! Eli Clare, Margaret Price, Anne Finger, Jim Ferris, Alison Kafer, Melanie Yergeau — these are just a few of the people who through the actual way that they write about/through disability create new models. But I also think of artists like Riva Lehrer, or performance groups like Sins Invalid. I really could go on and on and on. It is very strange to create a list like this, though — because people have been doing this forever — and there are many, many more people doing this now than I can list. And I really strongly think that when we begin to look for the body, and in particular when we begin to make space for non-normative bodies and minds, we start to communicate in powerfully different ways. For instance, my brother Matt used a combination of speech and sign and a synthesizer to communicate. Because he only had full use of one hand, we would often ask me to “complete” signs with him by touching hands. That taught me more about what communication really is than any book I could ever read.

Disability in Science Fiction: Representations of Technology as Cure edited by Kathryn Allan (2013)

In this groundbreaking collection, twelve international scholars – with backgrounds in disability studies, English and world literature, classics, and history – discuss the representation of dis/ability, medical "cures," technology, and the body in science fiction.

From a review in Strange Horizons

The final section? Allan has collected the most interesting—the most thought-provoking—articles of the entire volume into Cure Narratives For The (Post)Human Future. If I had to single any one of them out, it would be Canavan’s, which discusses fatal genetic disorders in light of some of Octavia Butler’s stories.

The Far Tower: Stories for W.B. Yeats, edited by Mark Valentine, Swan River Press, 2019. Cover image by John Coulthart, info: swanriverpress.ie.

“All Art that is not mere story-telling, or mere portraiture, is symbolic...“ – W. B. Yeats. Stories of magic and myth, folklore and fairy traditions, the occult and the outré, inspired by the rich mystical world of Ireland’s greatest poet, W.B. Yeats. We invited ten contemporary writers to celebrate Yeats’s contributions to the history of the fantastic and supernatural in literature, drawing on his work for their own new and original tales. Each has chosen a phrase from his poems, plays, stories, or essays to herald their own explorations in the esoteric. Alongside their own powerful qualities, the pieces here testify to the continuing resonance of Yeats’s vision in our own time, that deep understanding of the meshing of two worlds and the talismans of old magic.

Contents: Introduction by Mark Valentine “Under the Frenzy of the Fourteenth Moon” by Ron Weighell “Daemon Est Deus Inversus” by D.P. Watt “The Shiftings” by Rosanne Rabinowitz “Hermit for Hire” by Caitriona Lally “The Property of the Dead” by John Howard “Cast a Cold Eye” by Timothy J.

Sister. Savita Manwani

🏐

Praise the Lord! I welcome all on this platform to hear the word of God and be blessed.

Let us Pray: Gracious Father we come before thy throne in Jesus Name and we thank you for this moment you gave us to hear and learn from your word. Help us to understand your word and be blessed. In Jesus’ Name I pray…Amen.

TOPIC - SCRIPTURE MEMORIZATION

Memorizing Scripture is as an excellent strategy for spiritual growth. It allows you to have gospel truths ready at all times, whether your day brings you temptation, heartache or a friend in need of encouragement.

Scripture also helps you abide in–or stay deeply rooted in-Christ, which Jesus tells us is the key to having Kingdom impact in this world (John 15:5).

Today, let us answer some of the questions like, Who should memorize the Scripture? Why should we memorize the Scripture? What Scripture should we memorize? When should we memorize? How do you memorize? What are the Steps to memorizing more Scripture?

The Hebrew word for ‘meditate’ is ‘murmur’- in a low tone of voice until becomes implanted on your mind and this is what the Jews did day and night. They meditated on the law of God. The law of God is contained in the first five books of the Bible that are written by Moses. They are Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus and Deuteronomy.

Psalm 119:11 – “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You”

Hiding (Keeping) God’s word in our hearts is deterrent to sin. This alone should inspire us to memorize Scripture. But memorization alone will not keep us from sin, we must also put God’s word to work in our lives, making it a vital guide for everything we do.

Psalm 119:23b – Your servant meditates on Your statues.

All believers should be memorizing God’s word. God’s laws were given to free us to be all he wants us to be. They restrict us from doing what night cripple us and keep us from being our best. God’s guidelines help us to follow his path and avoid paths that lead to destruction.

Colossians 3:16 – Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly….

The Church of Colossae did not have the Bible so they were dependent on memorizing God’s word. They had to hide God’s word in their hearts.

The famous English Proverb says, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Likewise someone said, “A chapter a day keeps the devil away”. Therefore, everyone who knows the Lord must memorize the Scripture.

2. Why should we memorize the Scripture?

There are 12 reasons to why we memorize the Scripture.

i. Memorize scripture to be successful

Joshua 1:8 - This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Whatever you do will come to maturity if you memorize the scripture and meditate on it. Your family life will be blessed, your spiritual life will be blessed, you will be happy, peaceful and contented.

God told Joshua that to succeed he must obey the rules for living found in God’s laws. Obedience to what God has revealed in the scriptures is the only sure step we can take. We need to set aside time to read God’s word and meditate upon it day and night. Act today on what you know God has said, and God will assure your success in carrying out his purposes.

ii. Memorizing Scripture will convict us of sin which leads to sinning less.

Psalm 119:11 - “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You”

Memorizing God’s word will keep us away from sin.

Psalm 37:31- The law of his God is in his heart;

None of his steps shall slide.

God’s law will keep your steps from slipping.

iii. We should memorize scriptures because God’s word has power to change our life

Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

God’s word has power. Yours and mine don’t have power. The power of God word will penetrate the core of our moral and spiritual life. It will discern the good and the evil within us. God’s word has the power to shape our lives.

iv. We should memorize scripture because it is commanded of us

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 - “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Every scripture is to be memorized as it is God who has commanded it. We have to write it on our hearts and also get it inside our children.

v. We should memorize scripture because of the examples of saints

In the New Testament we have a man of God who memorized the scriptures.

Acts 7: 1-53 – We read in this chapter that Stephen gives 1000 years of Israel’s history.

Also we note that both the Old and the New testament writers always quoted Scripture.

vi. Memorizing scripture will transform our mind

Romans 12:1-2 - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

When we memorize the scriptures and place our life before God, he will bring the best out of us and develop a well formed maturity in us. This transformation will come only when we renew our minds through the word of God. God will transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

vii. Memorizing scripture will enable you to be a better counselor

Psalm 119: 97-100 – God’s word makes you wise – wiser than our enemies and the teachers who ignore it. Wisdom comes from allowing God’s teachings to guide us.

viii. Memorizing scripture will keep you from error

Matthew 22:29 – You do err because you don’t know the scripture.

Memorizing scripture will keep us from giving way to false teachers and their false teaching.

ix. Memorizing scripture will increase your love and knowledge of God

1 John 5:2 – 3 - By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

Apostle John is measuring our love for God by the obedience to His word.

Read the word of God over and over again because you have fallen in love with the author.

x. We should memorize scripture because it will comfort us in our afflictions

Psalm119:50 –This is my comfort in my affliction,

For Your word has given me life.

Days of persecution will come when your Bible, your cell phone may be taken away. Do you know enough of the word that will comfort you in your affliction.

xi. We should memorize scripture to help our spiritual growth

1 Peter 2:2 - as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,

When we will desire the pure milk of God’s word we will grow up mature and whole in God.

xii. Memorizing scripture will help us in our old age

Isaac Watts great hymn writer said this : As we get old our brain shrinks and get harder from lack of use and the best therapy for the brain is memorizing – the word of God.(Scripture).

3. What Scripture should we memorize?

2 Timothy 3:16 - All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

All Scripture is God given and worth memorizing.

Suggestions:

• Memorize whatever the Bible teacher is teaching.

• Memorize small scriptures example: Psalms then go on with the epistles.

• If you have depression, memorize Psalms 42

• If you have problem loving people, memorize 1 Corinthians 13

• If you have anxiety, worry, fear, memorize Mathew 6

• If you gossip, slander, anger, memorize James 3, Psalm 34:8

• When you use random scriptures make sure you know the context of that scripture.

4. When should we memorize?

Joshua said meditate day and night. The Psalmist said in Psalms 1:2 to meditate God’s word day and night. Therefore, do it when doing your house work, travelling, etc. Do it anytime.

5. How to memorize the scripture?

The more we do it , the More it becomes a habit.

Steps to memorize more scripture:

a) Pick an area of gospel truth you are motivated to understand deeply. You can also pick up your favorite book of the Bible.

[8/5, 9:27 PM] 01019 CH W Savita Manwani: b) Dig into the context:

• Find the verse in your Bible and read the paragraph before and after it.

• Use this context to gain a clear understanding of what the verse means. You may want to read the verse in other Bible translations or consult a commentary.

• Read the verse through several times thoughtfully, aloud or in a whisper. This will help you grasp the verse as a whole. Each time you read it, say the topic, reference, verse, and then the reference again out loud.

• Discuss the verse with God in prayer, and ask for His help memorizing Scripture.

c) Memorize in bite-sized pieces

• Memorize the topic and reference first.

• Next, memorize only the first phrase of the verse. Once you can recite the topic, reference and first phrase from memory several times, continue to add each additional phrase, one by one.

• Consider why each word was selected as you memorize it.

• Think about ways the verse applies to you and your daily circumstances.

• Writing the verse out can be helpful. This deepens its impression in your mind.

d) Review with friends

• Review the verse immediately after learning it, incorporate it into your prayers, and repeat it frequently over subsequent days to others. This step is crucial for fixing the verse firmly in your mind because we tend to forget things recently learned.

• Invite a friend to memorize with you! Set a time each week to check in and review verses. In just ten minutes you can give each other enough accountability to grow by leaps and bounds in your love for God and knowledge of His Word.

• Review! Review! Review! Repetition is the best way to engrave the verses on your memory.

Things to Remember:

1) Don’t do scripture memorization when you are tired or distracted or when you are going through a deep crisis. It doesn’t work when your mind is not alert.

2) Stick to the same translation or else it will be very confusing.

3) If you have trouble memorizing, then find some creative ways to learn – may be you can put it through music.

4) Keep it in mind that this is God’s word and not any other word on a page.

Method:

 Do cards, stickers, etc. Put it on a recording device in your voice and read it as fast as you can. Why so fast? They have proven statistically that your brain picks up things easier if you listen to something with a fast speed instead of a slow speed.

 Copy the page out of your Bible and carry it wherever you go and read.

 When you get a chapter/Book memorize and review it every day for 30days. Say it out loud

Remember, memorized Scripture allows you to dwell continuously on a passage throughout the day. Passages memorized often bring a sense of “ownership”; a passage feels like it “belongs” to you after you have it memorized.

Followers of God have a long rich history of memorizing Scripture. From the time that the first books of the Bible were written, people have been memorizing Scripture in order to help them live faithfully.

It is clear that Jesus memorized Scripture from the fact that he so often quoted Scripture when he was talking to others. Both the Old and New Testament authors consistently quote Scripture. Do you know someone who consistently memorizes Scripture? Ask what it has meant to his or her spiritual growth. Chances are high that you’ll get a glowing testimony!

Allow me to end here. God bless everyone in this group.

In 1890 London, private detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner Dr. John Watson prevents the ritualistic murder of a woman by Lord Henry Blackwood, who has killed five other young women similarly. Inspector Lestrade and the police arrest Blackwood. Three months later, Watson is engaged to Mary Morstan and moving out of 221B Baker Street; while he enjoys their adventures together, Watson looks forward to not having to deal with Holmes’ eccentricities. Meanwhile, Blackwood has been sentenced to death and requests to see Holmes, whom he warns of three more unstoppable deaths that will cause great changes to the world. Blackwood is subsequently hanged.

Evolve 94, October 14, 2017 (Queens, NY)

At a time when the company faced a public relations and a business crisis after its relationship with FloSlam dissolved amid acrimonious accusations of fraud and eventual consolidation under the WWE banner, Evolve needed a killer show and a hot crowd more than ever. Though Evolve 93 in Summit, Illinois, had some great matches and a heated encounter between Matt Riddle and Keith Lee, it was up to the dependable crowd at La Boom in Queens, NY to ensure that Evolve would maintain its momentum despite its business troubles.

At first, I was concerned because the crowd seemed smaller than past crowds at La Boom. I was crammed into the second row on B side; while it was certainly close to the action, I ended up seeing a lot more of the camera operators and photographer than I would have wanted. Also, because the B side seats are crammed between the barricade and one of La Boom’s platforms, there wasn’t much wiggle room, especially after the late-arriving fans who occupied the first row finally arrived to my ambivalence. On one hand, I hate being captured on camera, so I was glad to have a human shield between the cameras and me. On the other hand, I hated losing the leg room that their absence provided.

1. Dominic Garrini w/Stokely Hathaway vs. Rayo

The show began with Catch Point out in force in the ring. Catch Point’s manager, Stokely Hathaway, introduced Garrini, his new bodyguard and the latest addition to Catch Point. He then introduces Rayo, and Garrini quickly disposes of Rayo with a running knee, a spinebuster, and a kimura lock. Scheduling Garrini for a quick squash makes for an easy introduction, but it’s hard to stand out when the show is full of larger men laying waste to everyone in their path.

2. Chris Dickinson w/Stokely Hathaway vs. Jason Kincaid

Since Catch Point was still out there, the second match can also get started. Compared to last time, Kincaid received a much warmer reaction, and Kincaid seems more focused, and his offense seemed cleaner and tighter, even though his shiranui is still noticeably slow. Maybe it was intentionally slow since it came so late into the match, but compared to Spanky/Brian Kendrick’s Sliced Bread #2 or Naomichi Marufuji’s shiranui, Kincaid’s seemed more methodical and stiff. The aforementioned late-arriving fans worked really hard to get Hathaway’s attention from the moment they arrived, so at least they entertained themselves and Hathaway. Dickinson didn’t get the reaction that he usually gets from the La Boom crowd, and I wonder if it’s due to his match’s low placement on the card. However, for an undercard match that was effectively the opener, this was really well paced, with momentum swinging from Kincaid and Dickinson in believable ways as Dickinson used his power and Kincaid used his unorthodox movement and offense. I couldn’t believe that Kincaid busted out a Coast to Coast dropkick in the nominal second match on the card. I also couldn’t believe that La Boom had its Halloween decorations up and that the wrestlers insisted on using the corner where there were decorations within grasp for their top rope moves throughout the show starting with a superplex in this match. Dickinson countered Kincaid’s shiranui into an Oklahoma Stampeded and hit the Pazuzu Bomb onto a turnbuckle to finish Kincaid. This was a hot little undercard match, perfectly placed to excite the crowd.

After the match, obnoxiously loud music played as “The End” flared on La Boom’s video screens. Odinson, Parrow, and Drennan who team together in FIP, assaulted Dickinson and Kincaid and returned backstage. Drennan looked like he was pretending to be Jimmy Jacobs circa The Age of the Fall. Referees came out to help Dickinson and Kincaid to the back, and the two sold the violence that The End unleashed on them very well. Dickinson was on my side of the ring, and he looked like he was concentrating very hard to appear incapacitated by The End’s attack.

However, the logic of the story gets stretched, as you’ll see later.

3. Austin Theory w/Priscilla Kelly vs. Brandon Watts

Brandon Watts is, judging by the reaction he got from the guys in front of me, a wrestler from the Bronx. Though Theory is younger and has fewer matches in his history than Watts, Theory treats Watts with disrespect because Theory is full of himself thanks to his short winning streak after losing to Mark Haskins at Evolve 91. Theory used his height and speed advantage over Watts to stay ahead, but Watts would scrap and claw at any opportunity to try to pin Theory, which made what should have been an extended squash surprisingly engaging. The match itself could have gone for another minute or two, but Watts and Theory worked to tell the story of a journeyman wrestler sneaking up on a conceited, younger, more gifted wrestler well. Theory countered a victory roll into a wheelbarrow half nelson backbreaker to set up his Theory-KO to win the match. Watts gained a lot from the match, even if we never see him again in Evolve. However, I wouldn’t mind seeing what else Watts can do when Evolve is back in NYC.

After the match, The End reemerged and Theory pushed Watts into their way so he and Priscilla Kelly could escape. They left, and referees recovered Watts. If you think too deeply about wrestling like I do, you can see the escalation from one segment to another. In the first, The End ambushed Dickinson and Kincaid, catching Catch Point off guard so they couldn’t rescue Dickinson. Furthermore, because the rest of Catch Point is driven by their own self interests, they wouldn’t want to jeopardize their matches later by interfering with The End’s rampage. However, there’s only one entrance at La Boom for wrestlers, so logically everyone is mingling in the same space backstage. Are they invaders? If so, why wouldn’t the referees try to prevent Odinson, Parrow, and Drennan from getting to the ring?

4. Darby Allin vs. Jarek 1:20

Jarek 1:20 says, “I’m going to get compared to Chris Hero until I cut my hair.” Jarek’s street magician/illusionist/escape artist gimmick caused at least one fan to yell, “A trick is what a whore does for money...or cocaine!” Of course, he actually is a street magician turned professional wrestler, which makes just as much sense as a skateboarder to become a professional wrestler. Jarek is a one-note character who announces that he’s an escape artist every time he is able to counter or escape a wrestling hold, but it’s entertaining enough for now that I would, for example, enjoy seeing Jarek come up against serious wrestlers who can balance comedy like Fred Yehi or even Zack Sabre Jr. Jarek couldn’t escape Allin’s dangerous tope suicida, but he did inspire a “Holy shit!’ chant when he superkicked Allin as Allin was diving from La Boom’s stage to the ring, causing Allin to crash back into the stage and on to the floor in an ugly spill. Staying outside the ring, Jarek hit a flagpole elbow off the ringpost like Matt Cross would in days past, and he was able to keep up with Allin hold for hold inside the ring. Just as the match was building, it comes to a sudden end with Allin locking Jarek in the Last Supper to pin him for the victory. Jarek was more entertaining than I thought he would be, but I don’t have high hopes for his self life. Allin continues to impress with his wildness, and he seems to be finding a balance between his high risk flash and the wrestling acumen that he picked up from his feud with Catch Point and Timothy Thatcher.

After the match, Jarek conspicuously disappears as the crowd yells for Allin to leave the ring as soon as he could. However, he stayed to fight The End, ambushing Odinson and Parrow with the Coffin Drop. Unfortunately, Parrow caught him and powerbombed him on to some chairs on the stage. The name of the game is escalation as security guards and referees tried to stop The End this time, but they fell to Odinson and Parrow’s power. They finished their rampage with a Doomsday Device on a defenseless Allin.

5. Tracy Williams w/Stokely Hathaway and Dominic Garrini vs. Fred Yehi

Rather sensibly, Hathaway positioned Garrini by the ring entrance to try to prevent from assaulting him or his prized jewel of Catch Point, “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams. This was the first match between Williams and Yehi since Yehi split from Catch Point, so this was a lowkey important match for both men. I really enjoyed that the two men knew each other so well that the reversals and escapes throughout the match felt natural and expected, but there was a depth of emotion missing from the first match between former partners after a bitter break-up. The technical side of the match was great, and Yehi was able to modify his usual shtick enough to keep it fresh. Williams was also very good, hitting hard as usual and moving with determination and urgency in the match. However, I didn’t feel an emotional engagement from either man, and the finish was disappointing. Hathaway climbed to the apron to distract the referee, which caught Yehi’s attention. Garrini stepped between Yehi and Hathaway, which allowed Williams to whip the rope into Yehi’s throat. Williams hit a lariat and forced Yehi to pass out with a guillotine choke. The usually reliable La Boom crowd seemed subdued, and I think that they sensed the lack of emotion from Yehi and Williams as well.

After the match, Jaka demanded that Odinson, Parrow, and Drennan appear to answer for their attack on his partner, Chris Dickinson. Williams and Garrini seemed upset by Jaka’s impulsiveness potentially earning them a beatdown from the intimidating group, but Jaka seemed to be browbeating them into agreeing to stand by him. However, they didn’t answer Jaka’s challenge. Instead, Zack Sabre Jr. emerged from the back.

6. Jaka w/Tracy Williams and Stokely Hathaway vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

Near the start of the match, the fans in front of me kept nagging Tracy Williams to share some of his bottle of water with them. With maybe a sip left in the bottle, he finally gave it to them to their delight and my mild disgust. Meanwhile, Hathaway admonished me for starting a “Fuck him up, Sabre, fuck him up” chant because, in his words, the show “was PG.”

Jaka and Sabre’s match at Evolve 87 was a launching pad for Jaka, so hopes were high for their rematch. They confront each other before the opening bell, and shoving and jaw-jacking gives way to chops, stomps, and some light choking from Jaka. Sabre recovered and hit a nasty penalty kick from the apron and targeted Jaka’s leg. Sabre was as wonderful as ever, mixing in strikes and submission holds with an intensity and viciousness to make everything compelling. After the show, I would approach Sabre to 1) buy a shirt from him and 2) tell him that, to me, he is the best wrestler in the world. He received my praise with great humility, and he is a big reason why I continue to support Evolve.

Jaka baited Sabre into his kind of match; even as Sabre was able to reverse Jaka into submission holds, Jaka would power through and either force Sabre into letting the holds go with strikes or position himself close enough to the ropes to force Sabre to break the hold. Back on offense, Jaka would force Sabre into strike exchanges; while Sabre can hit as hard as anyone, he simply couldn’t absorb damage like Jaka. To my surprise, Jaka took Sabre’s best strikes, hit a spinning wheel kick, and pinned Sabre after a sitout powerbomb.

When paired with strikers, Sabre is able to show a little more viciousness than usual in order to keep up with bigger, stronger, heavier hitting opponents, and Sabre and Jaka projected intensity very nicely. After the match, Hathaway’s joy and Sabre’s shock and disappointment told the tale of how big a victory this was for Jaka’s career even though he’s one half of the Evolve Tag Team Champions.

After the match, Jaka left to celebrate with the rest of Catch Point while Sabre contemplated what happened. The fans were yelling at Sabre to get out of the ring before The End attacked, but instead of the brawny men, we got the gaunt Priscilla Kelly. Sabre was uninterested in Kelly, who ran her finger down his chest to signal that Theory would be challenging Sabre for the Evolve championship soon.

7. WWN Championship Last Man Standing match: Matt Riddle (c) vs. Keith Lee

In a first, Evolve actually used the video screens at La Boom to air the mini-doc about their feud before the match to build anticipation for their main event. I give Evolve credit for trying, even though the video wasn’t the right size for the screens. Riddle just barely escaped with the title after their match at Evolve 87, and the sense of anticipation in the crowd was high. It seems ridiculous to say this about a show attended by no more than 500 people, but this match had a big fight feel.

Riddle and Lee hit each other with their biggest moves at the start of the match to set the tone. Strikes, suplexes, the Bro 2 Sleep, and the Spirit Bomb were all unleashed within the first five minutes of the match to establish that they these two were going to hit each other until one man could no longer get back up. Because La Boom is so snug, the two had to keep most of the action inside the ring. Lee and Riddle hit the Halloween decorations hanging from the ceiling while suplexing each other, and you could see that Lee was considering tearing the decoration down to use against Riddle. Of course, that probably would have cost Evolve the ability to use La Boom as a venue ever again, which would have been unfortunate since La Boom is Evolve’s most consistently excited venue.

It would be pointless to try to recount the mad barrage of offense, so suffice it to say that I despaired almost every time it looked like Lee wouldn’t get up to answer the ten count, that I bought Riddle’s frustration that Lee refused to stay down, that I led as many chants for Lee as my voice would allow, and that I cheered as loudly as I could when Lee got up at 9 after a Spirit Bomb from the second rope put Riddle down for a 10 count. I really appreciated that both men stayed aggressive through the match because they knew that not one particular move would be enough to put the other man down. Instead, they had to chain their most devastating offense together to try to press the attack and buy 10 seconds. It was the best laid out Last Man Standing match I’ve seen in some time.

I was a little disappointed that Riddle didn’t stay to hand Lee the belt, but the crowd more than made up for his absence by cheering for Lee. Lee asked for a microphone to address the crowd, starting with a simple and quiet, “Ouch.” Kneeling because the couldn’t stand after the intense match, Lee thanked the crowd on behalf of Evolve and bid them to continue to bask in his glory.

It’s too bad that the next show is back at the Elmcor Center because the two best matches at Evolve 94 played off of matches at Evolve 87, whereas there isn’t as much material to mine from Evolve 91, the last show at the Elmcor Center, because it was the crossover show with PROGRESS. Furthermore, the Elmcor Center seems too big for Evolve to run effectively at this point, and I’d hate to see Evolve in another poorly lit venue with a crowd that can’t show its excitement because it’s too spread out and ineffectually recorded. I understand that La Boom is small and that it won’t always be available because it is a functioning night club, but I wish that Evolve would only run at La Boom because that is the company’s best venue.

As for Evolve 94, the best matches were Riddle vs. Lee and Jaka vs. Sabre, but the rest of the show moved well enough that it was a really enjoyable experience.
