I'm new to Evolve, having not seen any of it yet but considering strongly ordering the iPPV in April.
I see all ten previous Evolve shows are also available through the iPPV site.
Should I see them all to get caught up, or are there some shows that are more important.
Since you all know Evolve a lot better than me, was hoping for some advice.

I have been thinking of ordering the Styles Tournament, that is such a cool idea IMO. Also what happened to the talk of Evolve adding its own title?

Style Battle is cool, but if your going for one Evolve show go for Evolve 9. Finlay vs. Sami Callihan was one of the best matches of the year.

If you're trying to get up to date I'd get the last four shows at least. EVOLVE 9 is the strongest, but the rest all have something to recommend.

I'd agree with this, but only say that E9 and E10 are absolute musts to be caught up headed into E11. For history's sake, all of the shows are worth owning and I'd recommend getting the DVDs.

If you can I'd say see them all because any evolve fan must see the debut show with ibushi/richards & sawa/tjp plus as the guys have said the last few shows. So you may as well watch all of them in between. Good , solid shows. Well worth the money.

I believe when the merger was announced between Evolve and DGUSA, they said that the Open the Freedom Gate Title would be the top title in Evolve as well.

If there was any show you could skip it would be Styles Battle, as it didn't effect the rankings.

I've only seen Evolve 9. Been meaning to get 7 for a while. I'll probably pick up the first show too (eventually).

The first show is getting hard to find these days.

The first show is getting hard to find these days. The DVD is now out of print but you can get the iPPV which lets you watch it over and over again at DVD quality. I also second that the Styles Battle was just a way for the winner to have another bullet point to their resume but did not affect rankings. With that said, it was still a great show. I may be wrong but I'd have to say that 7 (again, I think) was my favorite show of all.

To be perfectly frank, the only shows you'd need to see to know what's going on in EVOLVE right now would be 9 & 10.

I don't think you really need to see any of them to know what's going on right now. How did 9 really effect 10, let alone 11? Yeah, people have moved up in rankings and stuff, but it's not like you'd be jumping in in the middle of a major storyline (like if you saw DGUSA Freedom Fight 2011 before any of the build to Gargano's title match).
