September 15, 2009

Бе гледам, че от по-известните промоции само CHIKARA си няма отделна тема. Затова тук ще поствам резултатите от по-малките шоута на CHIKARA, а отделни теми ще правя за по-големите шоута като Young Lions Cup, King of Trios и Anniversario, може би и за Cibernetico event-ите.

Пускам темата набързо, защото едва сега осъзнах, че съм пропуснал цели две шоута.

A nice venue here in West Springfield, with a beautiful disco ball above the ring. It’s small, but looks quite packed despite the small attendance of about 60-70. Louden has now asked fans to keep their phones on vibrate, quite odd.

"Man Makes Plans, and God Laughs"
9.12.2009 @ The Elks Lodge
(West Springfield, MA)

1. Frightmare beat Brendan Michael Thomas (3:14) with the Kneecolepsy.
2. Chad Badd & Brad Badd beat Fire Ant & Green Ant [The Colony] (6:14) when Chad Badd pinned Green Ant after the Decapitation.
3. Steven “The Turtle” Weiner beat Grizzly Redwood (1:51) via DQ.
4. Dasher Hatfield beat Colin Delaney (10:24) with the Grand Slam.
5. UltraMantis Black & Delirious [The Order of the Neo Solar Temple] beat Player Uno & Player Dos [super Smash Bros.] (9:40) when UltraMantis used a Praying Mantis Bomb on Uno.
6. Tim Donst beat Hydra (0:16) with the Tazmission.
7. Vin Gerard, STIGMA & Daizee Haze beat Mike Quackenbush, Equinox & Lince Dorado (11:57) when Gerard used the STF on Equinox.
8. Icarus & Chuck Taylor [F.I.S.T.] beat Ophidian & Amasis [The Osirian Portal] (15:01) when Icarus pinned Ophidian after a Sole Food from Taylor.
9. Claudio Castagnoli beat Hallowicked (20:47) with a revese folding press.

Arguably the most stacked lineup of CHIKARA’s 2009 schedule this year goes down tonight, and we’ve got your live results right here on CHIKARA Fans. The Osirian Portal defend their titles in a two of three falls bout against The Colony. Player Uno’s gunning for his buddy, and Young Lions Cup champion, Player Dos. Bryan Danielson says goodbye to his CHIKARA friends as he teams with Claudio Castagnoli to take on Quack and Jigsaw. What more do you need? Be here at 3:30 when we go live.

There’s no cell signal or wi-fi at the building so Smurf will be emailing results to me at intermission and after the show. There’s also live results @topeconcoolio so expect the bare bones at most until the emails.

It’s a nice little basketball gym here packed with an attendance of around 225…well, nice until you want to do anything. A sweatbox with no accessible vending machines and no cell phone reception, hence why this info’s coming in at intermission. Believe me, I’m more upset than you are; how am I gonna get the football scores here?

"Hiding in Plain Sight"
9.13.2009 @ The Boys & Girls Club
(Nashua, NH)

1. Hallowicked & Frightmare [incoherence] beat Icarus & Chuck Taylor [F.I.S.T.] (10:51) when Hallowicked used the Graveyard Smash on Icarus.
2. Sara Del Rey beat Ariel (9:46) with the Royal Butterfly.
3. UltraMantis Black & Delirious [The Order of the Neo Solar Temple] beat Eddie Kingston & Grizzly Redwood [The Roughnecks] (10:37) when UltraMantis used the Praying Mantis Bomb on Grizzly.
4. Mike Quackenbush & Jigsaw beat Claudio Castagnoli & Bryan Danielson (21:47) when Quackenbush used an Alligator Clutch on Danielson.
5. Dasher Hatfield, Colt Cabana & Lince Dorado, Carpenter Ant & Green Ant beat Vin Gerard, STIGMA & Colin Delaney [The UnStable] & Jagged & Shane Matthews [2.0] (16:15) when Dorado used a shooting star press on Matthews.
6. Young Lions Cup Match: Player Dos © beat Player Uno (10:34) with the B13 to retain.
7. CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas Match: Fire Ant & Soldier Ant [The Colony] beat Ophidian & Amasis [The Osirian Portal] © (24:35). Primera Caida: Soldier Ant pinned Amasis (13:10) with a TKO. Segunda Caida: Fire Ant submitted Ophidian (24:35) with short arm scissors to become the new Campeones de Parejas.

Очертават се интересни неща. Все ми се струва, че трябваше да има мач между F.I.S.T. и The Colony, който да определи кой ще се срещне с Osirian Portal. Явно има проблем с Gran Akuma, когото не виждам в нито едно шоу.

Нещо не виждам смисъла в женските мачове. Sara Del Rey колкото пъти е идвала, все тршои някоя опонентка и си отива за два-три месеца, после пак. Вместо това можеше да дадат малко Ice Cream goodness.

За сметка на това пък, Mantis и Delirious мачкат наред, което може само да радва. Виждам задаващата се вражда между тях и Colony. Трябва им още една точка и са претенденти. Засега три точки май имат само Icarus & Gran Akuma и Grizzly & Brodie Lee. Не ми се вярва вторите да вземат титлите, а първите вече са приключили с Colony, така че нищо чудно да си изгубят точките още преди да са стигнали до мач.

Чакам с нетърпение следващия месец – Torneo Cibernetico returns!

September 15, 2009

Бе гледам, че от по-известните промоции само CHIKARA си няма отделна тема.

Цък. И най-добрата федерация (през 2009) от по-известните indy федерации също си няма тема (за незапознатите: говоря за PWG). Все ме домързява да ги пусна тези теми, така че радвам се да видя, че ти се нагърби с CHIKARA. :)

September 21, 2009

First off – new champs! The Colony have won the Campeonatos de Parejas in Nashua on Sunday, defeating the Osirian Portal in two straight falls. Wasting no time, their first defense has been signed and it’s the main event of Easton’s “An Optimistic View of a Pessimistic World” as Fire Ant and Soldier Ant square off against the only currently healthy duo with three points, The Roughnecks of Brodie Lee and Grizzly Redwood. While the Roughnecks have likely been preparing for three falls with the Portal, the ants are looking to prove that they’re not going to be one-and-done like the last tecnico team to hold the belts, the Super Smash Bros. Rumor is that, by the time you read this, the Roughnecks will have some words for the Colony in a Podcast Special Update.

While Brodie and the Grizz are going to be prepping for three falls of action in Easton, their fellow Roughneck Eddie Kingston is getting himself ready for the following night, where he’ll be taking on Big Japan’s newest rookie sensation Ryuichi Kawakami! Making his debut in December of 2008, Kawakami, a trainee of current Big Japan tag champ (and CHIKARA alum) Daisuke Sekimoto, brings a lot to the table despite being relatively new to the ring. A hype video displaying his sheer power and strength is right on the other side of this link – check it out now.

The cry for competition has been answered – both Daizee Haze and Sara del Rey have made recent statements via CHIKARAPro.com blogs about how they feel they have been slighted for being a step above everyone else in CHIKARA. In response, CHIKARA officials called up their friends at Big Japan, and asked them for some recommendations for some ladies from Japan that can bring the level of competition that Haze and Del Rey have demanded. Our match, set for “Cibernetico Incredible” on October 18th, is Sara and CHIKARA alum La Malcriada (last seen way back at the final night of King of Trios 2007) squaring off against Daizee Haze and NEO’s Atsuko Emoto. Emoto may be better known to some diehard Joshi followers as “Bullfight Sora”, WAVE’s deadly bovine character. This match should be incredibly exciting for fans of women’s wrestling, as it’s a chance for two lesser known Japanese talents to break out in the States.

UltraMantis Black blogs about the recent happenings involving the Eye of Tyr, and the future of the Neo-Solar Temple’s relations with both Delirious and Crossbones.

2. Eddie Kingston vs. Ryuichi Kawakami
3. Sara del Rey & La Malcriada vs. Daizee Haze & Atsuko Emoto

Women екшън! Двете жени са ми непознати, дано стане нещо интересно за разнообразие в тази дивизия. Жени се появяват веднъж на няколко месеца и то само за кратък и безсмислен мач. Del Rey и Haze водят някаква вражда от не знам колко време вече, с тия появи два пъти годишно ще излезе най-дългата вражда ever.

Говорейки за вражди, Jigsaw vs. Gran Akuma се готви от не знам колко време вече, сигурно откакто почнах да гледам CHIKARA в началото на годината очаквам този мач да се случи. Жалко, че на същото шоу има и CdP мач, иначе това щеше да е отличен main event.

UltraMantis Black явно също го чакат интересни неща. Обаче като гледам това ще се превърне в някаква единична вражда, а той и Delirious напреднаха доста в отборната дивизия. Явно няма да има CdP мач с тях, нищо чудно тайния човечец от клипа в блога да им коства третата точка. Покрай него е вечно страшно объркано, да вземе най-после да си избере една цел и да върви с нея...

First Time Ever!

Tag Teams Tussle!

The Super Smash Bros. ~ Player Uno (Soldier’s team) & Player Dos (Fire’s team): The issues between the Super Smash Bros. in recent months have been well publicised, with Uno’s growing frustration at his apparent inability to beat his own tag team partner and win the Young Lions Cup, so it should come as no surprise to see both of these men in this particularly special increibles match. Uno intends to win this match, come hell or high water, because past Cibernetico wins for several CHIKARA wrestlers (dating back to the first, Jigsaw) have lead to great success and high amounts of credibility. However, Dos will be well aware of Uno’s recent comments but he’ll have to put any sympathies aside to continue his rise up the card. From Rey de Voladores finalist to Young Lions Cup champion to Cibernetico winner, perhaps?
The Colony ~ Carpenter Ant (Soldier’s team) & Green Ant (Fire’s team): Ever since Carpenter Ant debuted in CHIKARA back in the main event of the May “Aniversario Yang” show, Green Ant has questioned him. In the early months it appeared that they were ducking one another, with Green wrestling on one card and Carpenter wrestling on another. However, whether it’s due to Fire & Soldier enforcing team unity or the two patching up their differences, in recent months the two rookie ants have teamed up a few times, including the 8-man tag in Nashua last month. Their team will be put to the test in the Cibernetico, a match that Fire and Soldier clearly consciously decided to bring them into. The match could go either way – either Carpenter and Green take out any pre-existing issues in the ring and sort them out, or they rip out any stitches and increase the internal strife.
Cheech (Soldier’s team) & Cloudy (Fire’s team): Cheech & Cloudy come into this match as one of the longest-running duos in CHIKARA today, having teamed in the company since 2005, and they also come in as one of the most stable units, as in their 4-year tenure they’ve never come close to splitting, even after Cheech pinned Cloudy to advance to the Young Lions Cup IV finals in 2006. They also bring Cibernetico experience to the match, having wrestled in the 2006 edition as a part of Eddie Kingston’s team, and they’ve also wrestled in their fair share of increibles matches. Arguably the most well-prepared for this particular match, Cheech and Cloudy are worthy – and dangerous – additions to the Cibernetico.
Incoherence ~ Hallowicked (Soldier’s team) & Frightmare (Fire’s team): Hallowicked’s participation in this match is highly notable as this marks his first Cibernetico since 2006 and his fourth overall, making him highly experienced for a match of this calibre. However, the inclusion of his protege, the pocket rocket known as Frightmare, gives “The Nightmare Warrior” a slight conundrum – does he go full force for the win or does he show mercy to the man he’s been grooming for success in the CHIKARA ring? Frightmare has shown since day one when he stepped up to face Brodie Lee on short notice in his first CHIKARA match that he’s willing to take on anyone and everyone, sense be damned, so a match of this magnitude could do wonders for his career. The bond between the second incarnation of Incoherence has never been truly tested – could this be the first time?
The Future Is Now ~ Lince Dorado (Soldier’s team) & Helios (Fire’s team): The Future Is Now as a unit are arguably the standout performers of the entire year in CHIKARA, as many of CHIKARA’s best matches in 2009 have featured members of the flying squadron. Come Cibernetico, Lince Dorado and Helios will face across the ring from one another in an attempt to decide who the superior TFIN member is. Their inclusion is also intriguing when you note the inclusion of Mike Quackenbush and Jigsaw, allies of the main TFIN trio. Lince will be on the same side as his mentor but against Jigsaw, a man who he has not feared to criticise in recent times.
The Young Bucks ~ Nick Jackson (Soldier’s team) & Matt Jackson (Fire’s team): Since making quite the impact at this year’s King of Trios with performances both in the main tournament and in the Rey de Voladores mini-competition over the weekend, many CHIKARA fans have been demanding that the Jackson two grace the CHIKARA ring once again. Leonard F. Chikarason has listened and granted that wish because the current Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Tag Team Champions will be participanting in this year’s Torneo Cibernetico – against one another. This is obviously the highest profile on which Matt and Nick have wrestled on opposing sides and it should be very interesting to see how they match up. Matt himself has called his younger brother one of the best young wrestlers in the world but Matt has the more experience – a theme for Soldier Ant’s squad – so this might be worth tossing a coin over.

Жалко, че някои от другите мачове пропаднаха, доста ми се гледаше Jigsaw vs. Gran Akuma, както и joshi кечистката от втората вечер. Sora ми е позната като име, доколкото знам и преди се е състезавала в CHIKARA, но пак си е старо лице – гледаше ми се свежа кръв.

Мислех да пусна отделна тема за шоуто, но това трябваше да стане още щом обявиха всички мачове, така че както и да е.

Самото шоу ми се струва някак... кратко. Има шест мача, всички са сбити, уж за да има време за Torneo Cibernetico, а самият TC е един от най-късите в историята! А победителят... HUH? Carpenter Ant? Той не дебютира ли вчера, кога му дойде времето да печели мачове от такова естество? Кой е под тази маска? TC иначе изглежда... типичен, елиминациите са започнали добре навътре в мача, но към края са натрупани на всяка минута, все едно са бързали да приключат... явно, за да се приберат и да гледат Bound For Glory, де да знам.

Другите мачове изглеждат забавно. Не схващам защо направиха новия образ на CAW, който всички толкова хвалят, само и само да го вкарат в отбор, който да взима от славата му. Е, няма да съм против ако вкарат там и един футболен играч и един хокеист и да направят Team Sports Center, това ще е брилянтно.

Atomicos мача ми се струва доста къс предвид участниците. Също така ми се струва, че грешния отбор е спечелил, но по принцип такива мачове са на комедийна основа, така че едва ли е нещо специално.

Osirian Portal почват да трупат точки за реванш, докато Brodie и Grizzly явно приключиха с точките и вече са по-скоро filler и машина за точки, подобно на 2.0. Вярно, че мина само ден откакто загубиха от шампионите, но то така се започва – вижте Quack и Jigsaw, например.

Е, не остава нищо друго, освен да чакаме Season Finale. Дано следващата година да е добра като тази, може би и с малко по-добър Cibernetico.

October 31, 2009

This past weekend was a huge step forward in the career of Lince Dorado – he’d had two successful years since debuting, achieving a lot in a short amount of time. King of Trios victory, winning the first ever Loteria Letal, countless singles wins over big names. However, 2009 hasn’t treated Lince all that great, as he’s just been stuck in the middle of the pack as “just another guy”. That was, until the annual Cibernetico match came around; Lince seized the moment and managed to not only survive to be one of the last few standing, but had two big consecutive eliminations over Jigsaw and Player Dos. His reward for eliminating a former and the current Young Lions Cup holders? A shot at the Cup for himself, as Lince and Dos square off in Philadelphia on the season finale. Can Lince grab the proverbial brass ring and end 2009 off with a bang?
Podcast-a-Go-Go #184 is out, with clips from King of Trios 2009: Night Three. Check out footage from The Colony & the North Star Express vs. The Osirian Portal, Michael Nakazawa & KUDO, as well as the tournament finals as Team F.I.S.T. does battle with Team Uppercut of Claudio Castagnoli, Bryan Danielson & Dave Taylor.

This past weekend, The Throwbacks – Dasher Hatfield and Sugar Dunkerton – made quite the impression on the fans in their debut weekend as a team. In Easton, they had quite the shocking performance in the four-way elimination tag, as they knocked out Icarus and Chuck Taylor. F.I.S.T. were rightfully frustrated with getting caught up in a loss to a brand new team and demanded a one-on-one matchup next month in Easton at “Throwing Life’s Instructions Away”. Will F.I.S.T. get their revenge on the all-star squad, or can the Throwbacks sink this one for two points on their quest towards the Campeonatos de Parejas?

This storm’s been brewing for a while now, and it’s finally hitting like an F-5 tornado – Hydra. Tim Donst. Loser Leaves CHIKARA. The divide amongst these two has been one of the prevalent stories in recent times: Hydra got the best of Donst in their first round Young Lions Cup tournament matchup, leading to an attack from Donst on night three in a tag match that saw them teaming for the final time. After that, it’s been attack after attack from Donst. Hydra finally had enough and laid down the challenge for this match in a blog (which you can read here. Donst responded with an absolute yes, and it was written. After “Throwing Life’s Instructions Away”, one of these men will remain in CHIKARA, while the other will be gone for good.

Определено се очертава доволен финал на сезона на CHIKARA. Ще е страхотен сблъсъка на Neo-Solar Temple и Incoherence – Delirious и Hallowicked не са се срещали откакто UltraMantis открадна Delirious от Incoherence. Чудя се накъде са тръгнали и с Badd Boyz (a.k.a. 2.0). Друга радост за окото ми е новината, че Hydra или Donst ще се махнат от CHIKARA – от целия ростер, заедно с Cheech & Cloudy тях двамата най-малко понасям. Който и да си тръгне, Ремус печели, особено ако това е Hydra.

Най-после Jigsaw и Gran Akuma ще си получат мача, само дето поставям под въпрос решението да бъде на шоуто преди финала на сезона – мачът е точно толкова важен, колкото и Kingston/Castagnoli. Вярно, че така се събират много единични мачове, но някои от тях могат да преминат на предното шоу. Особено ми е странно, когато поставят един решаващ враждата им мач на първото шоу, а веднага след това на второто имат отборен сблъсък. Тази подробност настрана, Quack/Rivera/Jigsaw vs. FIST ще срине къщата!

November 15, 2009

Two huge matches were announced in the past 24 hours that are huge ways to wrap up the conclusion to Season Eight of CHIKARA action.

First up in Easton, Mike Quackenbush, Claudio Castagnoli and Jorge “Skayde” Rivera – the trio of CHIKARA maestros that have had hands in the training of every CHIKARA Wrestle Factory alum – are going to take on The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple’s UltraMantis Black, Crossbones and Delirious. The Temple were given this match as punishment for the huge headache that they’ve caused Leonard F. Chikarason all year, and this form of payback may be the most painful for the rudos as they’re encountering a true dream team. If they’re to pull off the huge upset victory, it would be an achievement the likes of which have never been predicted in CHIKARA in the past.

The next day in Philadelphia at “Three-Fisted Tales”, it’s a title match that co-main-evented the first event of the 2009 CHIKARA calendar year: The Colony, on the champion side this time, defend the Campeonatos de Parejas against The Osirian Portal. This is the third title match between these two this season, and the first two were memorable encounters that saw both teams take each other to the limit. It’ll be no different this time around; will the Portal regain the gold that was taken from them in Nashua back in September, or can the Colony take two of three in both the match and the series?
Also noteworthy: Sara del Rey has written a blog here, clearly outlining her frustrations with the current women’s division in CHIKARA. 2009 was supposed to be a year where she was promised the top female talent from around the world, but she steamrolled over everyone CHIKARA threw her way and has laid out an open challenge for season finale weekend. Who’s going to step up and accept? We’ll find out soon, hopefully.

An enormous singles matchup has been signed for “Throwing Life’s Instructions Away” in Easton, as two of the top stars of CHIKARA’s tag division are squaring off in singles competition: Ophidian vs. Hallowicked. While there’s never been much of a rivalry between their respective camps, these two have crossed paths a handful of times in tag competition in the past. However, despite this fact, neither man holds a pinfall over the other. In fact, both men hold singles victories over the other’s tag partner, as Hallowicked defeated Amasis back in May of 2008 at “Cafe Culture”, while Ophidian pinned Frightmare earlier this year at “Motive, Means, Opportunity”. There’s a lot of pride on the line for both men representing their individual stables, and this should be one of the best matches of the stacked Season Finale weekend!

It’s been no secret – the biggest feud in CHIKARA in 2009 has been The Colony vs. the Osirian Portal. Two epic title matches, a change of hands in the Campeonatos de Parejas, countless other encounters with each other. However, the newer, younger members of The Colony have yet to get involved with the feud. That all changes in Easton at “Throwing Life’s Instructions Away”, as Carpenter Ant gets his chance to do battle with Amasis. Carpenter has been arguably the biggest surprise of 2009, coming out of nowhere to win the Cibernetico last month in only his fourth match in CHIKARA by tapping out his partner Soldier Ant with the Inverted CHIKARA Special, a move never seen before. Will Carpenter be able to keep the ball rolling and put away a former Campeon in the process?

The newest match to the final card of the CHIKARA season has been announced, and it’s one heck of an Atomico match that should be lots of fun. The Throwbacks – Dasher Hatfield and Sugar Dunkerton – team up with Colony representatives Green Ant and Carpenter Ant. Their opponents? The UnStable and Brodie Lee. The Big Rig is back on the highway of destruction after eliminating Grizzly Redwood from the CHIKARA roster with one swift boot to the face. Everyone in this match has something to prove to move up the ranks in 2010. We’ll see who walks out on top in 12 days.
It was also announced by CHIKARA that there will be one mystery match unannounced for both season finale cards. Who will be in those matches? Find out first here when we do our live results!

November 22, 2009

A great night, but a sad night in Easton as the first half of the 2009 season finale is in the books. Tonight, we said goodbye to Hydra, who was unfairly defeated by Tim Donst in the Loser Leaves CHIKARA match, one of the most heated battles in recent CHIKARA history. The fans were strongly behind Hydra, but sadly it wasn’t enough. In a happier note, Jigsaw finally got his revenge on Gran Akuma in an incredibly hard fought main event, proving himself to be the better man in one on one competition.

1. Ophidian (10:34 ~ Reverse Rolling Prawn Hold) Hallowicked
2. Chad Badd & Brad Badd [The Badd Boys] (5:00 ~ Decapitation) Lince Dorado & Helios {L} [The Future is Now]
3. Amasis (4:27 ~ DQ: Excesivo Castigo) Carpenter Ant
4. Player Dos (11:54 ~ Frog Splash) Yujiro Kushida
5. UltraMantis Black {W}, Delirious & Crossbones [The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple] (13:20 ~ Backslide) Claudio Castagnoli, Mike Quackenbush {L} & Jorge “Skayde” Rivera
6. Dasher Hatfield {W} & Sugar Dunkerton [The Throwbacks] (10:09 ~ Schoolboy) Icarus {L} & Chuck Taylor [F.I.S.T.]
7. Loser Leaves CHIKARA: Tim Donst (14:40 ~ Pinfall) Hydra
8. Fire Ant, Soldier Ant {W} & Green Ant (15:00 ~ Inverted TKO) Vin Gerard, STIGMA & Colin Delaney {L}
9. Jigsaw (15:54 ~ Super Jig’n'Tonic) Gran Akuma

Preshow Notes: Good turnout so far, looks like a lot of fans came out to see the big finale weekend. A lot younger of a crowd than usual, a lot of kids here. UltraMantis Black fan masks on sale on this very special occasion, a hit at the gimmick table. Louden’s song this month in Easton: “Goin’ to Rasslin’” A fun little tune that officially announced King of Trios for next year at the end.

1. Hallowicked vs. Ophidian: Crowd is split evenly amongst the two, with Ophidian having his strong pocket of fans in Easton. Really fluid match, both guys moving flawlessly with a lot of technical matwork. Awesome moment when Wicked came off the ropes for his yakuza kick but Ophidian countered with his spinning high kick. Later, Ophidian goes for his headscissors in the corner but Wicked popped him up for a Go 2 Sleepy Hollow. Death Grip in, Wicked attempts to power out but ends up in it again until Wicked rammed the corner for Ophidian to go face first into the turnbuckle. Ophidian gets the win in 10:34 with a bridging roll up. Great opener.

2. Lince Dorado & Helios [The Future is Now] vs. Chad Badd & Brad Badd [The Badd Boys]: Badd Boys go on the attack outside before the bell, eventually tossing Lince in and putting the boots to him. Future is Now are attempting to use their speed to top the Badd Boys’ strength. Lince and Helios counter powerbombs into ranas to the outside, then hit twin Space Flying Tiger Drops. Future is Now with some REALLY awesome flying double teams. However, it wasn’t enough as a Badd pinned Helios in 5:00 following a Demolition Decapitation. Fun match!

3. Carpenter Ant vs. Amasis: Carpenter Ant was just relentless with strikes, repeatedly ignoring Papagiorgio’s warnings. Amasis wins by DQ ~ Excesivo Castigo in 4:27. Of all things, errors in the sound system after the match killed the heat of the finish since people were more distracted by that than what happened.

4. Player Dos vs. Yujiro Kushida: Personally the match I was looking forward to the most! Very fast paced out of the gates, Kushida really impressing the fans here, the act that he was trained by Tajiri is very apparent. Kushida with a chop to the butt because he can, amongst other heelish tactics. He saved the belt and Japanese flag he was wearing around his waist to use to his advantage hen Papagiorgio wasn’t looking. Awesome back and forth, Dos with a CRAZY German. Dos gets the win in 11:54 with a frog splash in a crazy good match. Honestly one of the eat performances out of Dos in a long while, and Kushida really impressed too. Great match.

5. Mike Quackenbush, Claudio Castagnoli & Jorge “Skayde” Rivera vs. UltraMantis Black, Crossbones & Delirious [The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple]: Big news of this match is that the health care bill passed its first hurdle in the Senate. Also, Crossbones is wrestling Skayde WTF. Claudio powerhousing Mantis around like it’s no one’s business. Mantis and Delirious teamed up on Skayde with a combination of backrakes and chestrakes, perhaps just attempting to rip his shirt off since I can’t imagine that having much effect through his clothing. Quack and Skayde with some crazy double teams on Mantis and Delirious, making way for Claudio and Crossbones. Claudio with the no hand airplane spin on Crossbones! Finish saw Claudio accidentally hit Quack with a Euro Uppercut, allowing Mantis to pin Quack with a backslide in 13:20. Really frenetic match, if sloppy at points. Claudio and Quack made up after the match, and all was well.

Intermission.

6. Chuck Taylor & Icarus [F.I.S.T.] vs. Dasher Hatfield & Sugar Dunkerton [The Throwbacks]: FIST have extra heel heat tonight for whatever reason. Dasher runs the bases and slides into home on Icarus’ face; Bryce ejects him from the ring, much kicking of dirt went down. AWESOME match full of fun, Dasher slips under Icarus to cradle him for the pin. Two points for the Throwbacks! Huge “DON’T GO, DASHER!” chant after the match.

7. Loser Leaves CHIKARA: Hydra vs. Tim Donst: Hydra is MASSIVELY over, moreso than anyone else tonight by a longshot. Crowd going bananas for him! Hydra laying in some deep chops while taking Donst all over the outside. Donst brings it inside and delivers a number of crushing suplexes, but Hydra perseveres. Donst starts ripping off Hydra’s muscles, until Hydra rips then off himself and drops the straps; abs ARE drawn on underneath. Donst with two neckbreakers but Hydra kicks out! HUGE chokeslam by Hydra! Hydra goes for a tope but Donst catches him with an ace crusher to the hardwood floor. Hydra comes back in at 19! Fans are going nuts and Donst is INFURIATED. The two trade slaps in the middle of the ring, then forearms…Hydra’s beasting up, more really stiff forearms. HYDRALOCK! Donst grabs Bryce, fouls Hydra while he’s distracted and pins him at 14:40. Crowd is enraged. Crowd chants “We Love Hydra!”. He makes a speech, Dasher comes out…Hydra’s speech is incredibly inspiring. Incredibly reminiscent of Lou Gehrig’s retirement speech. This is easily one of the best moments in CHIKARA history, albeit very sad.

8. Fire Ant, Soldier Ant & Green Ant [The Colony] vs. Vin Gerard, STIGMA & Colin Delaney [The UnStable]: The Colony have matching gold capes with the ant logo emblazoned on the back in black, really cool for their entrance. They Supermans, indeed. Nick Papagiorgio keeps saying “C’MON GUYS” and it’s never not funny. Everyone is really on point in this match, really good so far. Fun match, kinda fell apart in the middle but it was good. Soldier Ant pinned Colin with a TKO, but with an upside down Colin, in 15:00 even.

9. Jigsaw vs. Gran Akuma: Louden announced Jig as a member of Future is Now, but he still didn’t get any of Lince’s sweet freakin’ wristbands. Going at it hard out of the gates, crazy strikes and a big dive from Jig. Story early is that Jig has a counter for all of Akuma’s stuff, but Akuma comes up with a way to counteract Jig’s saves. Heavy work on Jig’s injured knee early on, but it’s not stopping him much since he still took to the air, albeit with a visible handicap. Akuma still targeting the knees hard. Jig with a top rope ‘rana which was a reversal from an attempted top rope Joker Driver from Akuma. Jig with a Van Terminator! Incredible trade of strikes, Akuma with a stiff clothesline for two. Akuma goes for a top rope Yoshi Tonic but Jig holds on and brings Akuma down with a Jig’n'Tonic from the top for the win. Really fun finish!

(Segunda Caida in 4:46- ~ CHIKARA Special by Soldier Ant on Ophidian)
(Tercera Caida in 10:06- ~ Super Beach Break by Fire Ant on Ophidian)
Ophidian {L} & Amasis

Today’s the big day – the final event of CHIKARA’s epic eighth season is upon us, “Three-Fisted Tales” in Philadelphia. In what’s sure to be one of the most memorable cards in quite some time, we finally see the conclusion to the 2009 trilogy of Campeonatos de Parejas matches as Fire Ant and Soldier Ant, Colony representatives and current Campeones, defend their belts against the men they defeated for the titles, The Osirian Portal of Ophidian and Amasis. We’ll also see the conclusion to the big Eddie Kingston vs. Claudio Castagnoli feud today as they square off in a Respect Match. Surely there are going to be some surprises today – will the BDK crew make their impact felt today, as they have in recent months in Philadelphia? Will we finally learn more about their mission and exactly who the heck they are?

Preshow Notes: Attendance estimate is around 280. Both Jigsaw and Akuma are out after not being cleared by doctors.

1. Green Ant, Carpenter Ant [The Colony], Dasher Hatfield & Sugar Dunkerton [The Throwbacks] vs. Vin Gerard, Colin Delaney, STIGMA [The UnStable] & Brodie Lee: Carpenter Ant still the odd man out with no Colony cape. Sugar D takes down Brodie early and goes for a slam dunk, but Brodie swats him down with a block. Carpenter Ant and STIGMA now, and Carp broke Stigma’s nose again. Bleeding quite a bit here. Gerard and Green Ant now, Gerard and Colin attempt some heelery but Green is on top of things today. Game 2 of the Rudos vs. Tecnicos baseball series is teased, but Brodie’s not having any of the shenanigans. Brodie with a RIDICULOUS running chop on Dasher. All eight men run rampant until Brodie kills Green Ant with the big boot in 11:14. Okay match. Heels spend extra time celebrating their win.

2. Helios vs. Yujiro Kushida: Very similar to last night with a lot of early ground work, but Helios had a lot of Kushida’s tactics scouted with some of unique reversals. Some really cool stuff in this match but just not as good as Kushida’s match with Dos last night. Helios wins with the 630 in 10:46.

3. Tim Donst vs. Player Uno: Very glad to see Uno here on finale weekend! Crowd is heavily behind him, and he’s laying it in early with some heavy chops. Donst is a heavy rudo, resorting to every trick in the book. Donst goes for a Hydralock but Uno turns it into a stunner for two. Uno’s offense tonight is on point, he looks really good doing all sorts of innovative stuff. Uno taps out Donst in 6:17.

4. Hallowicked & Frightmare [incoherence] vs. UltraMantis Black & Delirious [The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple]: Notable that Crossbones is here on the outside, keeping a keen eye on the front door of the Arena for any BDK business. Really fun and fast paced match so far, Delirious doing a majority of the work for the Order. Delirious and Wicked going buckwild on each other, Shadows Over Heck kicked out of at a one count. Yakuza kick from Wicked on Delirious that should’ve netted the win but Mantis saves him. Delirious with a sick Praying Mantis Bomb on Frightmare in 10:58 to give The Temple their third point.

Intermission. Return is January 31st in the Arena.

5. Mike Quackenbush & Jorge “Skayde” Rivera vs. Icarus & Chuck Taylor [F.I.S.T.]: Small pocket of fans booing Quack again this month. Another really fun, but standard fare tag match. Icarus working over Skayde’s knee in deadly fashion. A bit of miscommunication on F.I.S.T.’s part, but it wasn’t enough as Chuck Taylor tapped Skayde with the Cross Crab in 11:23.

6. CHIKARA Young Lions Cup ~ V3: Player Dos © vs. Lince Dorado: Slow start, but Lince picks it up big with an Asai 450 to the outside that looked awesome. Just a real spotty match, feels like a sequence of moves that’s nothing special. Lince goes for the shooting star senton but lands on his ass. Dos just german’d Lince off the apron onto the steps! Insanity! Player Dos hits a frog splash to retain the Cup. Lince was carried out by his stablemates, clearly an attempt to play on Lince’s accident two years ago.

7. Respect Match: Eddie Kingston vs. Claudio Castagnoli: Claudio runs right out the gates and hits a Ricola Bomb for two, only for Kingston to combat with a backfist for two. They keep the pressure going, just brutalizing one another in ridiculous fashion. Just an incredible back and forth match, brutal as all hell. Kingston with a huge tope! They’re brawling on the outside and Claudio throws a CHIKARA trainee in the way of a huge Kingston strike, providing just enough of a distraction to get in a bicycle kick and an Alpamare Waterslide on the apron. Ricola Bomb and Kingston’s out at one! German for two! Clothesline for two and the crowd is strongly behind Kingston. Claudio with a pumphandle off the top…two count! Kingston kicks out! Bicycle knee, uppercut…and Claudio gets the win in 15:53. Awesome match, strong contender for the best this year in CHIKARA. Kingston says he doesn’t respect Claudio. He pushed Claudio and tested him, and Claudio still can’t put his demon away. Says that Claudio and his former tag team partner are shady people, and that he deserves the respect of no one. Backfist and King leaves.

8. CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas ~ V2: Fire Ant & Soldier Ant [The Colony] © vs. Ophidian & Amasis [The Osirian Portal];
Primera Caida: Icarus and Akuma are sitting in the entraceway watching closely for who they have to face next. Vokoder is standing in the rafters behind Mantis on commentary, both of them keeping a keen eye on the action. Crowd is split dead even with the two teams. Solid stuff, the guys are going at it strong. Amasis gets the first fall over Fire Ant to put the Portal up 1-0 in 8:23.
Segunda Caida: Ophidian getting the heat on Fire Ant. Fire makes the tag to Soldier…not soon after, Soldier taps Ophidian with the CHIKARA Special in 13:09 to tie it up.
Tercera Caida: Huge sequence of dives to start the fall. Back and forth action, Ophidian and Soldier Ant with some CRAZY slams. Fire Ant goes for the same armbar that they won the belts with, Ophidian attempts to turn it into a pin but gets two counts twice, second one breaking the hold. Colony with twin double stomps for two counts. Super Beach Break attempt shoved off as Ophidian kicks him. Sacrament attempt, Fire Ant rolls out! TKO on Ophidian for two. Death Grip into a suplex, Sacrament attempt on Soldier is good! Two count, kickout! Another Sacrament attempt but the Colony fight out…Super Beach Break and Super TKO for the Colony to retain in 23:15!

BDK is here and they have the mic. Shorter one says a war is coming and he’s tired of waiting. Tecnicos come out, Quack and Claudio stand face to face. “Dont insult me, send me the man with the real power!”, pointing at Mantis and Vokoder. They come out…Mantis says he’s sick of them and the threats. He doesn’t even know who they are…it’s Ares! Ares is BDK and Claudio turned on heel! Carpenter Ant, Sara and Daizee all turned as well…Carpenter takes off his hood and reveals himself to be Pinkie Sanchez! Vokoder is Donst! They all do a formation, the lights go out and a Sabu chant starts. All of the faces are laid out around the ring.

По-ясно обяснение на случилото се накрая:

Colony just won, streamers are going everywhere, everyone is standing up. The people leaning on the barricade where I was fell forward as the two BDK dudes push through the audience and get in the ring. Portal and Colony all pretty much sit down on the opposite corner, and they start speaking. "We told you a war is coming, now give us what we want", (or something along those lines), out comes Green Ant and Carpenter Ant. Out from the back trickles out everyone on the Technico side of things, and 2.0 (they get their own category). Quack and Claudio slide into the ring. BDK men say "Don't taunt me, you know who we want." They point up to Mantis and Vokoder who are up in the commentation station. They look at eachother and come down to the ring, accompanied by Delirious. Mantis starts yelling at the BDK guys, and ends in the phrase "I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE!". The smaller BDK takes off his match to reveal it's Ares. And with that, BOOM! Claudio nails Quack with an Uppercut. Chaos ensues. Literally, at first a giant brawl broke out. No one had any idea what was going on, I didn't notice anything odd until I looked up to see Carpenter Ant choking out Green Ant. Looking around, Claudio beating on people, Vokoder choking out Mantis, and Death Haze putting the beat down on people. Haze, Del Rey, Claudio, Carpenter, Vokoder, Ares, and the big BDK guy stand in the ring. In a triangle format. First, Carpenter demasks himself to reveal it's Pinkie Sanchez, (on a side note, his hair is completely brown, and he had a sick look on his face), then Vokoder reveals himself to be Donst. They all do a salute, the bigger still masked BDK guy then pulls out a remote, and the lights go out. They alliance then fleds the arena, the lights come back on, and everyone (including Chikarason and Louden Noxious) were laid out. They get help to the back, and the show ends. No "official" ending, but everyone left. On the way out, I saw some workers who looked generally shocked.

Heel Claudio, Del Rey & Haze заедно, Donst в огромен заговор, Carpenter Ant Sanchez... HOLY SHIT! Страхотен cliffhanger край на годината. 2010 ще е нещо голямо за CHIKARA, вече нямам търпение да стане януари. Сега почвам да изучавам историята на CHIKARA, за да видя кой, по дяволите, е Ares.

PS: Сериозно ли Pinkie Sanchez спечели Cibernetico тази година?! Fuck...

Team F.I.S.T. Cash In For 2010's First Main Event

The first main event of season nine has been signed, sealed and delivered to the fans, and while CHIKARA’s management may be more corrupt than Congress, they surely haven’t given up on giving the fans quality wrestling matches.

Team F.I.S.T. – Icarus and Gran Akuma – have been sitting on three points for quite a while, dating back to September when they were originally scheduled to get a title shot against former champions the Osirian Portal in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Unfortunately, fate had its way with Gran Akuma’s physical well-being and put a delay to F.I.S.T.’s hopes of regaining the Campeonatos de Parejas. In that time? Fire Ant and Soldier Ant capitalized on F.I.S.T.’s delays and the Portal’s injuries and grabbed up the belts for themselves.

Now, these two duos face off again, adding yet another chapter to their storied rivalry. We all know the history between these two squads is deep. F.I.S.T. are the most dangerous duo in all of CHIKARA, and The Colony know this better than anyone. They took out their partner Worker Ant with one quick move on the outside. They won King of Trios, a tournament that The Colony were heavy favorites to take home. Even though they didn’t win the match and eventually lost their hair, F.I.S.T. even took The Colony to limits they had never reached before in a lucha de apuestas. Now, they look to take home the belts one more time.

January 31st. Philadelphia. Team F.I.S.T. vs. The Colony. One more time.

The Neo-Solar Temple Warm-Up For Trios

Just a few days ago, UltraMantis Black wrote a blog where he mentioned that him and his cronies in the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple were all set to face top competition come January’s “A Touch of Class”, and that’s what was going to prevent them from squaring off with any Brüderschaft der Kreuzes members. This was promised to be some of the stiffest competition that the Temple had ever seen, a match that was going to truly test their limits and put them in prime condition for King of Trios, whether they walked out on top or were humbled in defeat.

When we fired up the ol’ CHIKARA Fans computers today and saw the match…needless to say, we were a bit underwhelmed by the promise that Mantis had made. The return of Pelle Primeau for the first time since Young Lions Cup VI and the concussions that put him out of wrestling soon after? Surely something to be excited about. The return of Grizzly Redwood after Brodie Lee’s big boot took him out last October? Fun times. The debut of “Right Leg” Andy Ridge, who is supposed to be one of the ROH Academy’s top students in recent years? Cool! But to say this trio is one of the strongest teams that the independent scene could muster up to face the Neo-Solar Temple? A ridiculous claim. It’s clear to us that UltraMantis Black is running scared from the Brüderschaft, and it’s only a matter of time until they catch up to him.

Die Damen der Brüderschaft Tackle a New Challenge

Back in October, Sara del Rey and Daizee Haze came to the conclusion that they are the best female wrestlers in the world, and that perhaps they were the best wrestlers in the world regardless of gender. It’s hard to disagree; any challenge they’ve faced in CHIKARA, they’ve walked out on top. However, it’s not as if they had their chance at facing off against the men of the locker room in the ring. When they joined Die Brüderschaft, they sent a message to CHIKARA – Sara del Rey and Daizee Haze are ready to take on anyone that is put in front of them. On January 31st at “A Touch of Class”, they’ll get a chance to prove their point against some top competition – former Campeones de Parejas Ophidian and Amasis – The Osirian Portal. Will Sara and Daizee begin their steamroll over the competition and to the Campeonatos de Parejas? The road starts in Philadelphia in a little under four weeks.

Не знам за друго, но поне маските на тия пичове РАДВАТ! И бтв, поздравления за темата Remus - хубаво е, че някой се сеща за CHIKARA ;)

February 1, 2010

И така, CHIKARA открива сезон 9 и годината с шоуто, което не се нуждае от реклама за всеки, видял изхода от последното шоу на сезон 8. Нова група върлува из редиците на CHIKARA и те не са нито tecnicos, нито rudos. Те са просто Das Brüderschaft des Kreuzes (Brotherhood of the Cross), играещи по собствените си правила и търсещи върховна власт в CHIKARA. Дебютът им оказа немалък impact върху ростера на компанията, а тази вечер те се справиха не по-зле, излизайки от шоуто с четири победи от четири мача, с нова титла и с нов (или поне за първи път обявен) член – Lince Dorado! Dorado шокира съотборниците си от The Future is Now, изменяйки на Equinox в мача им с Братството. Eddie Kingston, търсещ отмъщение за действията на Claudio Castagnoli, беше готов да запълни дупката, оставена от Dorado, но уви – именно той падна в капана на Братството и бе туширан от ахриврага си. Tim Donst пък защити честта на Братството, надвивайки Player Dos, за да му отнеме спечелената и вече трижди защитена Young Lions купа с откраднатото изкуство на Inverted CHIKARA Special. Die Damen der Brüderschaft – Daizee Haze и Sara Del Rey също отбелязаха победа и то не малка и не над който и да е, а над бившите Campeones de Parejas – Ophidian и Amasis. Всички тези победи бяха само продължения на откриването на вечерта, когато Pinkie “Pink Ant” Sanchez пречупи новака в The Colony – Green Ant.

В мачовере, незасягащи Das Brüderschaft: Dasher Hatfield направи своето изненадващо завръщане в сезон 9, помагайки на съотборниците си Sugar Dunkerton и Player Uno да се справят с The UnStable; Hallowicked отбеляза победа над настоящия си враг – неконтролируемия Brodie Lee, - отмъщавайки му за туша, който отбеляза на Frightmare преди два месеца; The Order, предвождани от UltraMantis Black, отбеляза своята първа победа за 2010-а и Mantis нарича това само малка подготовка за Das Brüderschaft. И за финал на вечера, The Colony защитиха успешно титлите си срещу архиопонентите си – F.I.S.T., този път във вариант Icarus и Gran Akuma!

И нека не забравяме какво иде през март!

Обявените засега отбори са:

1. F.I.S.T (Icarus, Gran Akuma & Chuck Taylor)

2. The Colony (Fire Ant, Soldier Ant & Green Ant)

3. The UnStable (Vin Gerard, STIGMA & Colin Delaney)

4. Team Frightning (Mike Quackenbush, Hallowicked & Frightmare)

5. The Future Is Now (Jigsaw, Helios & Equinox II)

6. The Brüderschaft (Claudio Castagnoli, Ares & Tursas)

7. The Jackson 3 (Nick, Matt & Malachi Jackson)

Плюс, малко chatter от моя страна:

~ Идните шоута изглеждат добре. Доста мачове засягат Das Brüderschaft, както би трябвало и като изключим Kingston vs. Tursas (за когото досега не съм чел добър отзив), всичко изглежда добре.

~ Dunkerton и Hatfield явно се гласят за трите точки. Предвид внезапната им популярност, може и да имат шанс за титлите.

~ Нямам търпение да гледам The Colony vs. The Temple, Kingston vs. Akuma и tFiN vs. Das Brüderschaft.

~ Отборите дотук за King of Trios също изглеждат добре, с изключение на Tursas в Das Brüderschaft – толкова ли не можаха да го сменят с който и да е от другите? Радвам се, че Colony този път ще вземат участие. В AIW ще има отборен турнир, победителят в който ще се състезава в KoT. Предвид записаните досега отбори, най-вероятно Da Soul Touchaz отново ще се върнат.

~ Go FIST!

CHIKARA "The Mint Condition"
2.27.2010 @ Goodwill Fire Assoc. Hall
(Reading, PA)

Preshow: Supposedly a very good turnout tonight. Apparently extra chairs are required! The Colony vs. BDK open the show!

1. The Colony d. Pinkie Sanchez, Daizee Haze & Lince Dorado (14:51). The BDK is disqualified when Sara Del Rey interfered on behalf of her Bruderschaft cohorts. Green Ant bled during the match. This is technically the first match that the BDK has lost.

2. Delirious d. Player Dos (9:35). UltraMantis is on commentary, controlling his "perfect weapon" from afar. Delirious keeps the momentum rolling into tomorrow's title shot by defeating Dos with the Praying Mantis Bomb.

3. Incoherence & The Osirian Portal d. F.I.S.T. & The Badd Boyz (16:44). Akuma makes the bold claim that he can put Frightmare in his pocket. For some reason, Akuma kicks Amasis in the gut and Just Dance is playing in the background. I have no explanation for this. Hallowicked takes off Icarus's head with a Yakuza Kick for the victory.

4. Claudio Castagnoli & Ares d. The Throwbacks (10:39). First point for "Die Führer der Bruderschaft". For The Throwbacks, it's game over and back to the drawing board after losing their two points.

Intermission: UltraMantis claims that tomorrow's tag title match will be a "ninety second squash"!

5. Young Lions Cup: Time Donst © d. Player Uno (11:58). Uno had a Mega Mushroom! No word on what, if any, effect it had on him, or if it came into play at all. Tim worked over Uno's nipples in the same manner he did to partner Dos at A Touch of Class, but this time Bryce made sure to tell him to "lay off the nipples". Player Uno nearly had it, but Donst eventually hits the SDT for the win. Described as really good.

6. Tursas d. Eddie Kingston (3:49). Castagnoli interfered on behalf of Tursas. One big splash later and Kingston had been bested.

7. Main Event: Mike Quackenbush & The Future is Now d. The UnStable & Brodie Lee (21:35). Short on details for now, over than a deadlift overbomb made an appearance, the finish was crazy and it was the best match of the night.

March 1, 2010

CHIKARA "A World of Comforting Illusions"
2.28.2010 @ GoodFellas
(Pottsville, PA)

1. Dasher Hatfield & Sugar Dunkerton [The Throwbacks] beat Vin Gerard & STIGMA [The UnStable] (8:00) when Hatfield used a Victory Roll on STIGMA.

2. Brodie Lee beat Green Ant (4:13) with a Running Liger Bomb.

3. Hallowicked & Frightmare [incoherence] beat Daizee Haze & Sara Del Rey [Das Bruderschaft] (8:49) via DQ (Excesivo de Castigo) after Del Rey hit 4 piledrivers on Frightmare.

4. 4 Way Tag Team Elimination Match: Claudio Castagnoli & Ares [Das Bruderschaft] beat Ophidian & Amasis [The Osirian Portal], Chad & Brad Badd [The Badd Boyz] and Player Uno & Player Dos [The Super Smash Bros].
~ Ares eliminated The Osirian Portal after the Tiger Driver on Amasis @ 9:53.
~ Player Dos eliminated The Badd Boyz after a Frog Splash on Brad Badd @ 15:21.
~ Claudio Castagnoli eliminated the Super Smash Bros with the Inverted CHIKARA Special on Player Uno @ 20:52.

5. Eddie Kingston beat Gran Akuma (9:27) with the Sliding D.

6. Tim Donst & Tursas & Lince Dorado & Pink Ant [Das Bruderschaft] beat Jigsaw & Equinox & Helios [The Future Is Now] & Mike Quackenbush (22:55) when Dorado used the Shooting Star Press on Helios.

7. CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas Match: Fire Ant & Soldier Ant [The Colony] beat UltraMantis Black & Delirious [Order of the Neo-Solar Temple] to retain.
~ Primera Caida: Fire Ant pinned Delirious @ 15:47 with a Prawn Hold.
~ Segunda Caida: Soldier Ant pinned UltraMantis Black @ 1:30 with a Saluting Skayde Schoolboy.

~ След последния мач Ares се е намесил и е „освободил“ Delirious от контрола на UMB. NOOOO~! Исках The Order в този състав за KOT...

~ Ares и Castagnoli вече имат 3 точки. Иде ли края за Colony като шампиони? Надявам се. С „убедителните“ победи вече започват да мязат на Briscoe и ме дразнят. Човек да не даде титла на babyface... о, извинявайте – tecnico.

~ Чета, че Kingston vs. Akuma е бил брутален. Точно както очаквах, нямам търпение да го видя.

~ Del Rey и Haze са някаква машина. Досега мачкат наред, чудя се какво ли готвят за тях...

CHIKARA "Wit, Verve and a Bit o' Nerve"
3.20.2010 @ The Palmer Center

2. Tursas def. Green Ant (4:28) with the Kreuz Bomb.

3. Ophidian & Amasis [The Osirian Portal] def. Vin Gerard & STIGMA [The UnStable] (11:38) when Amasis used a schoolboy on Gerard.

7. Mike Quackenbush, Hallowicked & Frightmare [Team Frightning] & Jigsaw def. UltraMantis Black & Crossbones [The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple] & Icarus & Gran Akuma [F.I.S.T.] (14:03) when Frightmare used the Kneecolepsy on Crossbones.

8. CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas Match: Ares & Claudio Castagnoli [bDK] beat Fire Ant & Soldier Ant [The Colony] © (17:06) to become the new Campeones de Parejas!
~ Primera Caida: Ares pinned Fire Ant @ 0:05 with the Tiger Driver.
~ Segunda Caida: Castagnoli pinned Soldier Ant @ 17:01 after the Doomsday Device.

~ И така, BDK вече притежават всички титли в CHIKARA. От една страна, в кеча вече е доста клиширано веднага щом се появи доминираща група, веднага да вземе всичко в компанията, претендирайки за някаква власт. От друга, радвам се, че Ares и Castagnoli сложиха край на разочароващия reign на The Colony. И все пак много, ама МНОГО се надявам, че BDK няма да станат King of Trios.

March 22, 2010

"Dead Men Don't Laugh"
3.21.2010 @ Knights of Columbus Hall
(Fairfield, CT)

1. Jagged & Shane Matthews [3.0] beat UltraMantis Black & Crossbones [Order of the Neo Solar Temple] (4:58) when Matthews used a sunset flip roll on Crossbones.

2. Pinkie “Pink Ant” Sanchez beat Equinox II (11:41) with the Burning Snicklefritz.

3. STIGMA beat Dasher Hatfield (8:03) with the Stigmata.

4. Tim Donst & Sara Del Rey & Daizee Haze [bDK] beat Fire Ant & Soldier Ant & Green Ant [The Colony] (12:48) when Donst used an avalanche Donstitution on Green Ant.

5. Jigsaw beat Vin Gerard (9:16) with a brainbuster.

6. PGW Title Match: Frankie Arion © beat Brendan Michael Thomas (10:35) with the Cali Roll.

7. Icarus & Gran Akuma [F.I.S.T.] beat Ophidian & Amasis [The Osirian Portal] (14:20) when Icarus used the Blu-Ray on Amasis.

8. Lince Dorado beat Eddie Kingston (10:31) via disqualification.

9. Claudio Castagnoli & Ares & Tursas [bDK] beat Mike Quackenbush & Hallowicked & Frightmare [Team Frightning] (13:04) when Castagnoli pinned Frightmare after the Ragnarok.

~ Хм... победите на BDK започват да ме безпокоят. Вече трето шоу нямат загуба, притежават всички титли в CHIKARA и влизат съвсем доминантно в King of Trios. То бива да е силна група, но това е прекалено. King of Trios просто не трябва да бъде спечелено от тях.

Aniversario Zehn

Как може да мине едно Aniversario без страхотен Revelos Atomicos и как наистина. За да изпълнят тази цел са се събрали четири страховити отбора. От едната страна имаме завръщащото се след King of Trios трио на Team Frightning, добавяйки към него и редовния партньор на Quack – Jigsaw, за да се образува отбор, с който трябва да се съобразяваш. От другата страна имаме една от по-малко използваните комбинации на F.I.S.T. - Chuck Taylor и Gran Akuma, плюс още един рядко срещан отбор в лицето на Vin Gerard и Colin Delaney. Всичко сочи към победа за tecnico отбора, но никога не знаеш един – в случая цели четири! - rudo с какво може да те изненада.

Pink Ant е срамът на Колонията. Никой не усети, че има нещо странно в Carpenter Ant, никой не предполагаше, че под тази маска се крие новия, по-коварен Pinkie Sanchez, докато BDK не се разкри и той не изигра лоша шега на съотборниците си. Fire Ant търси да отмие част от този срам в опит да поправи несвършената работа на Green Ant.

След месеци на преследване Ares най-сетне се разкри. След месеци на дебнене Ares нанесе жесток удар по отбора на UltraMantis Black, лишавайки го първо от Окото на Тир, след това от съвършеното му оръжие, шансът да спечели Campeonatos de Parejas, както и от възможността да участва в King of Trios. След месеци стоицизъм, UltraMantis Black най-накрая ще се изправи срещу смъртния си враг в опит да отмъсти за всеки удар, нанесен от него и всяка щета по Ордена.

Въпреки множеството си загуби в единични мачове, не може да се каже, че Green Ant не вижда подобрение. Всеки път се задържа повече и нанася все повече щети на опонента си, демонстрирайки сърце и желание за победа. След срещи с подобните на Tursas и Brodie Lee, той намира опонент с неговия ръст в лицето на Amasis. Самият Amasis търси да натрупа малко победи в самостоятелния си актив и може би мач с новакът Greent Ant е добро място да започне.

Aniversario Elf

Годината завърши и започна зле за членовете на UnStable, най-вече Vin Gerard, който вече едва ли помни последната си победа. Той търси да промени това срещу Amasis, който втора поредна вечер ще търси самостоятелно предизвикателство без партньора си от The Osirian Portal.

Отборът Hallowicked и Frightmare доминира открай време в отборната дивизия, събирайки цели четири точки през последните месеци, последната от които – срещу отбор на BDK и опазвайки ги до този момент. Настъпи времето да кешират точките и да претендират за Campeonatos de Parejas за първи път от съществуването на отбора им срещу друг, непобеден досега тандем – този на Ares и Claudio Castagnoli.

Още от предателството си, Lince Dorado носи мишена на гърба си. Въпреки загубата си в трио формат, Lince все още е избегвал единична загуба срещу редящите се на опашка да го хванат. Победи Equinox II и оцеля след среща с Eddie Kingston. Сега Fire Ant търси да поправи това и да улучи десятката, отмятайки поне малко мъст за CHIKARA.

На 25 април бе отправено предизвикателство. Двама корави типове и съграждани от Yonker, NY, решиха да се изправят един срещу друг и да премерят силите си в ACE арената на Ню Йорк – какво по-добро място от това двама от най-коравите и най-успелите синове на Yonker да търсят победа един над друг.

May 13, 2010

Aniversario Zehn

Време за разплата в лагера на The Future Is Now. След като никой не успя да победи предателя Lince Dorado самостоятелно, групата мъдро влиза в отборна битка срещу него и Tim Donst, разчитайки на опита си като средство да сложат край на омразната усмивка на Lince.

Въпреки че Dasher Hatfield вече имаше сблъсък с член на BDK, онова беше по-скоро шанс да завоюва малко злато, докато в този мач вече влиза открито, рамо до рамо с партньора си Dunkerton, в открита битка срещу BDK. Двамата се нагърбват със задачата да победят най-големия и съответно най-малкия член на BDK в лицето на необичайния отбор Tursas и Daizee Haze.

Подобно на партньора си, Ophidian търси малко самостоятелна слава. Също подобно на партньора си, Ophidian се изправя срещу член на UnStable. И също като партньора си, след множество отборни битки, той се изправя срещу опонент с много повече опит в самостоятелните борби. Ще успее ли новият Rey de Voladores да докаже, че е заслужил самостоятелния си успех от King of Trios?

Aniversario Elf

Време е за нов претендент за Young Lions купата на Tim Donst. Докато партньорът му Lince Dorado се изправя срещу Fire Ant, Donst ще трябва да защитава трофея си срещу другия бивш Campeon de Parejas – Soldier Ant. Ще успее ли и този път да надхитри опонента си с коварни тактики или този път е изправен пред тактик, който не би поддал на подобни номера?

Още на следващия ден след срещата Throwbacks vs. Tursas/Haze, четиримата ще се изправят отново един срещу друг, този път с подкрепления. Quack и Jigsaw – за момента доминиращ по света отбор, ще пазят гърба на Throwbacks, докато Sara Del Rey и Pinkie “Pink Ant” Sanchez ще са допълнителната огнева мощ на BDK. Едно нещо е сигурно в тази битка – Quackenbush най-сетне ще се изправи срещу човека, който за първи път запозна tecnico ростера с The Inverted CHIKARA Special – оръжие, което досега никой не е успял да спре. Дали създателя има контраманевра срещу него? Предстои да видим.

3.0, The Future Is Now, F.I.S.T. и завръщащите се в действие Super Smash Bros. влизат в мач, който ще дава и отнема точки. При правилно изиграни карти, победителят от този мач може да излезе от този мач с чисто нови три точки и осигурено претендентско място за следващото шоу. Но освен конкуренция, в мача влиза и елемента на омразата – F.I.S.T. открай време са набелязали 3.0 като следващата си цел и търсят да докажат на тях и на света, че не са нищо повече от посмешището на CHIKARA.

CHIKARA: Rudo Resurrection video game - Coming Soon!

Back at King of Trios, we ignited a firestorm when we unveiled the trailer for our upcoming video game, Rudo Resurrection before the CHIKARA faithful. Since then, thousands more have checked out the trailer on YouTube and interest has been building at a feverish rate...

Today, we are proud to announce that CHIKARA, in partnership with Rogue Brains, have begun the production of Rudo Resurrection, intended for release later this year. We couldn't be more pleased to have found a development team that not only understands and respects CHIKARA's take on pro-wrestling, but also embraces the greater mythology our microcosm hosts. Rogue Brains is an up and coming team of industry professionals that have several years experience working on video games, comic books and other forms of entertainment.

CHIKARA: Rudo Resurrection utilizes the Unity 3D game engine, which gives us access to a wide array of gaming platforms. More information on exactly which platforms will carry the game will be confirmed closer to the game's release date. Fans have inundated us with emails, asking what they can expect from the game. While we're not ready to say too much just yet, it's safe to say that Rudo Resurrection is less of a wrestling game and more of a story-driven action game that harkens back to some arcade favorites from decades past.

As seen in the video trailer, CHIKARA: Rudo Resurrection will feature a number of zombified personalities from CHIKARA's rich past, but the game's landscape is populated with far more characters than what can be seen in the trailer. At the heart of the action is the conflict between longtime CHIKARA favorites and the despised Bruderschaft des Kreuzes, while a Who's Who from CHIKARA's history are reanimated to take part in the fracas! Whether or not the macabre UltraMantis Black can maintain control over his undead army is key to the unfolding story, as the player attempts to unlock more and more characters to join the fight.

Our partners at Rogue Brains have created www.chikaravideogame.com as the homebase for the game, and updates will begin to appear there on a weekly basis, leading to the game's release.

7. Eddie Kingston defeated Tommy Dreamer (12:39) via disqualification.

Като за годишнина, тия шоута ми се струват отвратително разочароващи. BDK за пореден път са излишно доминиращи, губейки единствено в мачове, които нямат никакво значение. Дори и да не съм фен на идеята, Soldier Ant като YLC шампион звучи доста освежаващо след шест месеца ритащия на място Donst. Fire Ant винаги е бил с потенциал да изгрее самостоятелно, както сам показа на Young Lions Cup VI, но тук бе направен за смях. Chuck Taylor и Gran Akuma са отбор, който е с 2 точки от 2008-а, но всичко е захвърлено и забравено и двамата губят от смешната комбинация Equinox II и Helios заради извинението, че сега F.I.S.T. трябва да враждуват с 3.0? Говорейки за Equinox II и Helios, двамата събраха 3 точки, така че явно те ще са следващите претенденти. Да, определено са голяма заплаха за Ares и Claudio, особено след като и двамата джобеха месеци наред на Pinkie Sanchez и Lince Dorado… Серията единични мачове на Amasis бяха адски излишни. Ares vs. UltraMantis Black трябваше да е main event, а е сведен до едва избутан 10 минутен мач? А МЕ на годишнината, който е dream мач, но НЕ Е защита на Campeonatos de Parejas (което изглежда като страшно разочароващ мач), плюс това завършва с DQ? И всичко това е резултат на новия съдия на BDK, който се меси във всички ME? Честно, CHIKARA, да не взимате идеи от една друга компания в Орландо?

Единственото добро нещо май ще излезе завръщането на Delirious, който вече е марионетка на Ares и има нов облик, който изглежда страхотно. Но сериозно, Delirious правил ли е нещо като свободен човек през последните 2 години? Както и да е. Още нещо – в края на второто шоу, Dreamer и Kingston предизвикват Ares и Claudio на следващото шоу, така че и там да се надяваме ще се случи нещо интересно... стига да не завърши с DQ след намеса на Colt CaBunny и CP Munk, които ще са новите членове на BDK…

“We Must Eat Michigan's Brain”

Ново и старо поколение CHIKARA ще се изправят едно срещу друго, когато завръщащият се от операция на таза дълголетен ветеран в CHIKARA Darkness Crabtree ще се изправи срещу един от най-многообещаващите новобранци и финалист в King of Trios Green Ant.

След известно отсъствие, Super Smash Bros. се завръщат в CHIKARA и още с първия си мач търсят да достигнат точка по-близо до претендентство в мач срещу бившите Campeonatos de Parejas – The Colony, които пък търсят начин отново да достигнат мач срещу BDK и да им отмъстят за отмъкването на титлите.

Сравнително скоро сформираният отбор в BDK между Lince Dorado и Pink Ant също се състезава за претендентство, излизайки на лов за точки срещу ветераните в отборната игра – The Osirian Portal. Amasis и Ophidian претърпяват доста неуспехи след изгубването на титлите си, но търсят ново начало, започвайки с малко отмъщение за BDK заради това, което им изиграха на King of Trios.

Новобранецът на 2009 – Frightmare ще се изправи срещу Donst, предизвиквайки за Young Lions трофея. Ще има нелеката задача да свали от престола човек с впечатляваща победа серия в единичните мачове, но е рано да го отписваме – самият Frightmare има впечатляваща серия отбелязани тушове над имена като Icarus, Crossbones и дори над бивш носител на трофея - Vin Gerard.

Eddie Kingston отново излиза на ринга, концентриран върху задачата да нанесе още щети по BDK и да отмъсти за намесата им миналия месец. Под прицел пада най-новия член на BDK, Delirious. Ще успее ли бившето „съвършено оръжие“ на UltraMantis Black и настоящ „домашен любимец“ на BDK да се справи по-добре срещу Kingston от останалите членове на групата?

Три отбора ще загряват за срещите си на следващия ден, а един търси да застане отново на страната на победата в Revelos Atomicos мач. Vin Gerard и STIGMA нямат особено успешна година и търсят да променят това на всяка цена. F.I.S.T. И 3.0 ще разчистват сметки още на следващия ден и този мач ще предостави възможността на всеки отбор да види на какво са способни опонентите им. А Equinox II и Helios, новият отбор-чудо в CHIKARA, ще загрява за утрешния си сблъсък срещу BDK за Campeonatos de Parejas.

И няма как да мине вечерта без trios мач. Тук един срещу друг застават настоящите King of Trios – BDK – и четвъртфиналистите от King of Trios 2009 – Da Soul Touchaz от Acid Jaz , Marshe Rockett и Willie Richardson. Последните не успяха да се класират тази година за турнира след като загубиха в Jack of All Trios на AIW, но сега имат възможността да докажат валидността на предните си участия в престижния турнир.

“Faded Scars and Lines”

Da Soul Touchaz ще търсят да се докажат не само срещу победителите в King of Trios, но и срещу отборът, останал на второ място – The Colony. Последните пък ще продължават опитите си да наберат инерция, надявайки се на още един шанс срещу архивраговете си BDK.

Player Uno подновява участията си в индивидуалната дивизия на CHIKARA, изправяйки се срещу стар нов познат в лицето на Johnny Gargano, който не е незапознат с компанията, с двете си участия в минали години в CHIKARA и участието си заедно с Aeroform в King of Trios.

Още щом се завърнаха и се възродиха като 3.0, Scott Parker и Shane Matthews са сочени с пръст от Icarus и наричани смешници вечер след вечер. Е, тази вечер най-накрая и двете страни получават шанса да докажат тезите си в директен сблъсък, а като бонус победителите ще са с точка по-близо до претендентство в отборната дивизия.

Бившият Young Lions Cup носител Player Dos също подновява единичните си изяви, но за негово съжаление първата му среща ще бъде с непобедената досега грамада – Tursas. Ще успее ли той да направи немислимото и да докаже, че Tursas е смъртен?

Lince Dorado и Pink Ant ще продължат похода си за точки срещу частична версия на Team Frightning. Quack и Frightmare ще тренират наученото досега в King of Trios срещу отбор, който се оказа победим в ръцете на The Colony.

Eddie Kingston няма да има спирачки този уикенд, веднага след Delirious търсейки да предизвика и стария си познайник Tim Donst, продължавайки с похода си към водачите на групата и най-вече Claudio Castagnoli. Няма как да предизвиква за Young Lions купата му, но това не му трябва – количеството щети, които ще нанесе на Donst ще са напълно задоволителни... засега.

След като събраха 3 точки за две вечери, повтаряйки рекорда на Ares и Claudio, The Future Is Now предизвиква елита на BDK за Campeonatos de Parejas. Вече два пъти станали свидетели на тактиките им, Equinox II и Helios нямат намерение да стават жертви на още от същото. Но има и друг проблем. В такъв мач е повече от възможно да очакваме намесата и на новия любимец на Dieter – Derek Sabato. Как ще се справят с него?
