With Evolution having happened, this kind of marks the second season in Action Wrestling. What were your favourite moments here Evolution or before?

I gotta say, I loved the TFK/Frost feud. Like, for me, I thought it was well-founded (first round of the inaugural tournament), and its kind of a stunner how things actually played out, what with Frost eventually pushing past the feud to win what is, at least to many, a more prestigious belt, despite having limited to no success facing TFK.
I'm also loving the Camila Gonzalez character, especially what with the Lisa Foster feud starting over some damned Starbucks. It's a good reminder to all of us that feuds don't need to have some huge basis to be good. And the Havoc run for her was beyond impressive.

Lisa Foster vs Camila Gonzales and TFK vs John Frost, and Speede vs D-Day are feuds of the year for sure (so far!)
I loved that Frost just accidentally went over cap in the first Clash and got DQed because of it, he legit had a great RP, we could see a whole new/different Frost right now had he not gone over by a few hundred words against TFK! That feud was special because OOC, I didn't book it like a feud, it had things happen that kept it pushing forward. I originally had a plan to book the US Champion defending on Clash against someone else, but that someone else took a break, and Frost was def #NextManUp, so he got the title shot, pushed TFK far and after that how do you not reward the fantastic writing of those two one more time? So the Battlefield match happened (making it a third match, twice for US title!)
I loved when Wade debuted and easily worked a story with Pasternak. There story was so simple, so funny, so cool, and again, you don't need belts to get your character over and be all over the show!
I loved the Speede/D-Day story because it goes back to the first segment (well first backstage segment.. maybe not..) of hte first episode where these two friends/rivals meet up and are like "Good luck lol m8" and then the other is like "lol good luck fr" and then they meet in the finals, have this fantastic back and forth match, D-Day wins a #1 contender to do it again.. turns heel after winning the title.. loses the belt, but the hatred Day has for Speede in kayfabe is so much that since Day got eliminated from Havoc, he had to go and eliminate Speede to out of jealousy and spite. Their culmination match at Evolution was the icing on the cake and proved again, the belt wasn't the story, there was layers to this and watching it unfold every week was great.
I really into Eavan Maloneys #Warrior babyface/underdog gimmick. She was REALLY close to winning the tv title first episode in, she got closer again and again, then finally won it, had a great reign, then lost and took a break. Came back and was going to work this fantastic story with Karlie Nash, then decided to leave. It was fun while she was here though!
The Power Word: Kill storyline has been great, because he's some doofus IC black wrestler who can't wrestle for shit, but talks shit and keeps it 100000 on IT boards, fucks with Lincoln, they FINALLY have a match (mean while he's befriending Felix and Philly through IT boards too), Lincoln fucking kicks him in the face, he loses after one move, Lincoln celebrates moves on, Reece is so fucking pissed he takes Phillys spot in the tag titles and wins the tag belts (and still can't fucking wrestle).. all of this is three different handlers for these characters all just randomly coming together on the IT boards and they have this (so far) dominant tag title reign out of just coming together on the IT boards. Fantastic little story too.
All of the UCI/Guardians coming together for Evolution was great, I could have done more and should have, but ran out of time, even though, it was still an awesome story.
