The night of May 11 2002 will be a night we will all remember for quite sometime to come as Explosive Coastal Wrestling launched EVOLUTION in front of a sold out crowd of more than 350 hot fans at the Wanneroo Civic Centre.

The night started with Dancin' Lukey and Slick Rick Sanders quickly exchanging wardrobe insults before announcing the nights matches. Lukey then introduced Mikey, who received a standing ovation and even the wrestlers of ECW formed a Gaurd of Honour around the ring as Mikey was to make his retirement announcement. Before he could get a word out, Davis Storm came to the ring with a barrage of insults for Mikey. This brought out Mr Anarchy, Jimmy Payne, who let Davis know exactly what he thought of him. The two men who would later fight for the ECW title starred down each other before leaving the ring.

Azazal vs Anda Nothica
As expected, these two men threw out a great opening match with fast paced action from start to finish. Azazal relentlessly worked on Anda Nothica's legs to avoid the high flying attacks from his smaller but faster opponent. In the end, the Fallen Angel proved to be too powerful and scored the 1,2,3. After the match, Azazal looked to break Anda Nothica's leg when he set him up with a chair which brought Brock Freeman to the ring to break up the action. 
Winner : Azazal

The People's Tramp, The Vagrant then made his way to ringside to a huge ovation from his many admiring fans. After saying hello to the crowd the ECW Chairman announced he had a new secretary as he introduced Holly Ryder to a very happy crowd. The Vagrant then joined Dancin' Lukey and Slick Rick at the commentary table.

Powerbomb Match : Richter vs Psychofett
This match was never going to be an easy task for Psychofett as he took on the much larger Uprising member, Richter. To make matters worse, Richter was also joined by the leader of the Uprising, Xerious Blade who continually got involved in the match on Richter's behalf. In the end, it was Psychofett who scored the win with a huge powerbomb from the top rope. After the match Xerious Blade was obviously upset with his fellow Uprising member and he let Richter know exactly what he thought of his performance by verbally tearing apart a beaten Richter.
Winner : Psychofett

Brock Freeman vs Justin Sane
For the many fans who attended REDEMPTION, we all saw the sparks fly when Brock Freeman, who was doing guest commentary, got involved with Justin Sane as Justin would not release the Restraining Order after the match had officially finished. This match was dubbed the "grudge match" of the night for good reason as these 2 men simply do not like each other. Freeman surprised Sane with his martial arts skills and submission maneuvers but Justin kept finding the ropes to avoid tapping out. Justin fired back when he slapped on the Restraining Order however Brock was able to reverse his finishing move into another submission arm bar. Azazal ran down to ringside to interfere on behalf of Justin however, Anda Nothica caught Azazal before he could make an impact in the match. Back in the ring, Justin rolled up Brock, and with the help of 2 feet on the middle rope, scored yet another big win!
Winner : Justin Sane

Seth & Shiggins vs Mixer and Shuriken
Seth and Shiggins came out first to a massive ovation from the fans which quickly turned to boo's as Mixer made his way to ringside. Lukey then announced Shuriken at 6' 6" and 330 pounds however, when the masked man made his way through the curtain it was quite obvious that this was not Shuriken. Mixer looked just as surprised as the crowd did but the match quickly got underway. Seth went straight for the mask of the imposter who was revealed as Jamie Jurah, the crazed Mixer fan from REDEMPTION! The Vagrant quickly got on the case of Jurah but when Jamie slapped the People's Tramp across the face, he allowed the Suriken wannabe to compete in the match as he looked forward to watching Seth and Shiggins destroy him in the ring. The match got started and it was quickly evident that Mixer was more than displeased about having to tag with his crazed fan. Seth and Shiggins worked as a well-oiled unit as they continually hammered Jamie Jurah from one side of the ring to the other. After Jamie was finally able to make the tag to Mixer, ECW fans got to witness a great match between fine young athletes. At one stage, Mixer had the match won until Jamie Jurah decided to come into the ring and distract the referee which led to the downfall of the team as Shiggins finished off Mixer with bluethunder powerbomb. After the match, a frustrated Mixer tore apart Jamie Jurah and invited the Vagrant to finished the job off. Mixer dragged Jamie to the corner and set up a chair beside his face as the Vagrant climbed the rope in the opposite corner. The Vagrant leapt from one side of the ring to the other, drop kicking the chair into Jamie Jurah's skull to the delight of the fans at ringside.
Winner : Seth & Shiggins

After a short break, Dancin' Lukey returned to the ring for a few spot prizes. He then introduced Holly Ryder back to the ring to help him with the task. After giving away some prizes, Slick Rick interrupted the fun with the announcement of the Slick Rick Challenge.

Slick Rick Challenge : F.N. Carnage vs Damian Cross
Slick Rick started off by challenging F.N. Carnage to a "Loser leaves ECW' match! Carnage quickly accepted on the one condition that he have his good friend and protegee at ringside as the special Ring Enforcer, Damian Cross. Slick agreed and then told Dancin' Lukey to announce Carnage's opponent. When Slick Rick's music came out of the speakers, Carnage smiled but then got nailed from behind as Damian Cross attacked and then slapped the hand of Slick Rick. The match started and Carnage quickly recovered from the sneak attack with a flurry of hard hitting moves that caught Damian off guard. Slick Rick interfered as much as he possibly could in the match but Carnage would introduce Damian Cross to his finishing maneuver, the Poetic Justice. As Carnage went for the pin, Slick Rick broke up the three count which was probably the biggest mistake of the night as Carnage caught Rick with a kick to the stomach. He then got a chair from ringside and Piledrove Slick's head through it! Damian attempted another sneak attack but found himself on the wrong end of another Poetic Justice. 3 counts later the match was over and Slick Rick has to leave ECW forever.
Winner : F.N. Carnage

ECW Title Match : Jimmy Payne vs Davis Storm
This was the match that not only the fans were looking forward to but everyone backstage as well. Davis Storm came to the ring first to a huge chorus of boo's which quickly changed to cheers as Jimmy Payne made his way to ringside. The match began quickly with neither man holding back. From the opening bell, both men exchanged move after move after move in what was a true "wrestling" contest! The pace never slowed but the moves became bigger and bigger with Payne delivering multiple T-Bone Suplexes and Storm with a spring board bulldog and dropkick which sent Jimmy Payne crashing through a table outside the ring!! Back in the ring, Davis caught Jimmy with his patented finisher, The Eye of the Storm and the crowd went absolutely nuts, however Jimmy kicked out at the last second and the match continued... Payne then returned the favour with his own finisher, the Payne Killer but again, at the last second Storm got a shoulder off the canvas before the count of three! After reversal after reversal, Davis finally set up Jimmy Payne and hit him with a devastating "Rolling Storm" from the top rope!! 3 short seconds later the match was over and Davis Storm became the first official Explosive Coastal Wrestling Champion! Out of nowhere, Mikey returned to the ring and looked ready for a fight. Mikey attempted to clothesline Storm but missed and it was Jimmy Payne that felt Mikey's rage. Davis quickly went to the outside of the ring as Mikey helped Jimmy back to his feet ... only to knock him back down with a huge Mikey kick to the face! Storm returned to the ring and continued to beat down Payne as Mikey told the fans of ECW exactly how bitter he truly was and how he really felt about ECW fans. The Uprising then joined Storm and Mikey in the beating as all five men relentlessly pounded away on a fallen Jimmy Payne. F.N. Carnage, the Vagrant and other ECW stars ran down to the ring and it was an all out brawl in the middle of the ring. After the bodies starting clearing from the ring it was Carnage and Storm left in the ring. Storm attempted to attack Carnage but he ducked and struck Storm with the title belt. Carnage then set up Storm in the middle of the ring as he climbed to the top rope and delivered a beautiful moonsault on Davis Storm. Carnage held the belt above his head, standing over a beaten Storm signifying that he had beaten the champion and he is coming after Storm.
Winner and New ECW Champion : Davis Storm
