Considering how bland he has been in the already bland cruiserweight division I am surprised gulak hasn't pitched soldier ant as a gimmick.

I imagine it's the latter. He hits me as someone who has more important poo poo to do these days and his wrestling career's run its course, so he's moving on.

There appears to be three batches of three shows each. At least, nine shows are listed currently. Each show is roughly an hour and fifteen minutes long.

I'm sure a lot of them are friends/family. But given that Chikara holds these kinds of shows all the time as part of their training classes, they might have had no idea that these were meant to be anything other than another non-official show.

If they're doing the shows anyways, then this is probably a pretty good deal for them. They get to piece together these unofficial shows into something that looks good, get to do a massive amount of storytelling in between and give another reason for people to buy the streaming service. This is one time where Quack's weirdness doesn't sound like another weird money sink.

I actually talked to someone at my gym who was at one of these shows. He got an invite from Bryce, who's involved in the Philly comedy community. It sounds like it was mostly friends and family and word of mouth from Chikara personnel.

So it looks like Moustache Mountain still have the Campeones de Parejas and don't lose them or lose them and then win them back in season 17? https://twitter.com/petedunneyxb/status/834544751235969024

This weekend's cards: Mar 4 - "Blink" - Kennebunk, Maine Best of 3 Falls - Campeones de Parejas Cornelius Crummels & Sonny Defarge defend vs The Force (Officers Warren Barksdale & Bruno Meloni) Singles Match - Mr. Touchdown vs Cajun Crawdad Tag Team Match - Solo Darling & Travis Huckabee vs Chuck TaylorTM & DUSTIN Singles Match - Oleg the Usurper vs Wani Singles Match - Ophidian vs Jeremy Leary Tag Team Match - Dez Peloton (Jasper Tippins & Donald Kluger) vs Los Ice Creams Mar 5 - "The Empty Child" - Enfield, Connecticut Singles Match - Grand Champion Ultramantis Black defends vs Max Smashmaster (w/ Sidney Bakabella) Atomicos Match - Solo Darling, Travis Huckabee, Los Ice Creams vs Cornelius Crummels, Sonny Defarge, Rock Lobster, Cajun Crawdad Singles Match - Lucas Calhoun vs Juan Francisco de Coronado Singles Match - Fire Ant vs Merlok Singles Match - Dasher Hatfield vs Hermit Crab It's difficult to explain what storylines may be going on, or even how many points individuals or teams may have, due to the fact that most of Secret Season 17 has yet to be released, but the next batch of shows drops Sunday evening on Chikaratopia. "Every Man For Himself" (episode 17.4) is the only one with information to hand, and it's been revealed to feature the second Infinite Gauntlet.

Thunderfrog is no longer in CHIKARA based on his twitter today. That sucks. He was a perfect fit for CHIKARA, but I guess living in Minnesota hurts things.

Results out of the New England shows "Blink" (Kennebunk, Maine) 1. Dez Peloton def. Los Ice Creams 2. Mr. Touchdown def. Cajun Crawdad - Crawdad had his claws taped together before the match and had to get them cut loose. 3. Oleg the Usurper def. Wani via DQ - Kobald kept trying to get involved and force Oleg to hit him, including jumping in the way of Off With His Head. - DQ was when Wani hit Oleg in the neck with a stick 4. Chuck TaylorTM & DUSTIN def. Solo Darling & Travis Huckabee - It was announced that this is Chuckie TM & DUSTIN's third point. They were apparently announced as "Full Price Chocolate & Half Price Vanilla." 5. Ophidian def. Jeremy Leary - Leary came to the ring wearing Lucas Calhoun's "tiger" outfit and with his other gimmick attire. - Post-match, Ophidian said Leary earned his respect. Leary sucker-punched him in the corner, and Ophidian hypnotized him to make him dance. 6. Crummels & Defarge def. The Force to retain the Campeonatos de Parejas - 1st fall: Defarge pin Meloni with a small package after Crummels reversed the pin - 2nd fall: Meloni pin Defarge with a small package after Crummels reversed the pin, got caught by the ref, and then Barksdale re-reversed it. - 3rd fall: Crummels pin Barksdale after Great Expectations 7. Encore Match: Lucas Calhoun def. Hermit Crab - Calhoun evidently lost a hair-vs-hair match in Season 17, because his hair was buzzed short, and he was real pissed off about it. "The Empty Child" (Enfield, CT) 1. Hermit Crab def. Dasher Hatfield 2. Merlok def. Fire Ant 3. Mr. Azerbaijan, Jeremy Leary, Wani def. Mr. Touchdown & The Force when Leary pinned Barksdale after a shot from his comb. 4. Juan Francisco de Coronado def. Lucas Calhoun - It was announced that this is JFDC's third point. 5. Crummels, Defarge, Rock Lobster, Cajun Crawdad def. Solo Darling, Travis Huckabee, Los Ice Creams when Crummels & Defarge pinned El Hijo after a step-stool avalanche monkey flip - This was reckoned as the best match of the show. 6. UltraMantis Black def. Max Smashmaster (w/ Bakabella) to retain the Grand Championship - Heavily overbooked. Liberal interference from Bakabella. 7. Encore Match: Dez Peloton def. Xyberhawx 2000 (Sylverhawk & Razerhawk) Also, the second batch of three shows from Secret Season 17 were released last night. "Every Man For Himself" - At the barber shop, DUSTIN says Chuck TaylorTM has been in the studio, recording a new single "Are You 4 Real" and may have a new girlfriend, DUSTIN isn't sure. 1. Sylverhawk def. Silver Ant - At the police squad room, Ofc. Meloni thanks Ofc. Barksdale for getting him into Chikara. Meloni had apparently been in the K9 Unit. The police captain puts them on parking duty. - Bonus shout-out to 3.0 in the preceding scene, as "Parker & Matthews" are assigned to Grid #2 on the board behind them. 2. Obariyon def. Hiptoss Hank - Obariyon was sporting a new look. 3. Max Smashmaster (w/ Bakabella) def. Fire Ant - The Closers (Caprice & Roland) say they'll be co-winners of the Infinite Gauntlet and give the Golden Opportunity to their boss, The Big Deal. 4. Dasher Hatfield wins the Infinite Gauntlet. - Participants: Rick Roland, Sloan Caprice, Ice Cream Jr, Worker Ant, Ophidian, Heidi Lovelace, Wani, Proletariat Boar, Rock Lobster, Juan Francisco de Coronado, Solo Darling, Hermit Crab, Ashley Vox, Lucas Calhoun, El Hijo del Ice Cream, Nytehawk, Cajun Crawdad, Razerhawk, Donald Kluger, Travis Huckabee, Jeremy Leary, Jasper Tippins, Delmi Exo, Oleg the Usurper, Bullet Ant Mr. Touchdown, Dasher Hatfield, Ofc. Warren Barksdale, Kobald, Icarus, Missile Assault Man, Hallowicked, Ultramantis Black - In an epilogue, Ophidian & Fire Ant talk about how they both lost brothers after Chicago. Mike Quackenbush approaches and Ophidian asks him, "Who will avenge Amasis? Who will defend Chikara against the next invading group?" Quack says he has a contingency in place, but Fire Ant says he thinks Ophidian's right and tells him "I'm in." "The Constant" - At the barber shop, Travis Huckabee apparently may have a sort-of-crush on a girl and will ask her to be his tag partner. 1. Wani def. Lucas Calhoun - Jeremy Leary came out, stole Calhoun's sunglasses and scarf, distracting him for the finish. Crummels & Defarge claimed that Moustache Mountain must be afraid of them to be on the other side of an ocean from them, and that when they get their title shot, it will hurt like the dickens. 2. Crummels & Defarge def. Cajun Crawdad & Hermit Crab - The crab people were the de facto tecnicos - This gives Crummels & Defarge their third point. 3. UltraMantis Black def. Kobald - At the Wrestle Factory, Obariyon spars with Hiptoss Hank. Ophidian & Fire Ant come up to him and say they know what he's feeling and what he wants. "Let us help you get it." Obariyon decks Hank and walks away without answering. - Princess Kimberlee cut a promo questioning whether she has to do this to one of her friends. "What I do in the ring today, trust me when I say, it's not what I want to do, but it's what I have to." 4. Princess Kimberlee def. Solo Darling - None of Kim's usual tecnico entrance schtick, and she seemed reluctantly rougher than usual. 5. Xyberhawx 2000 (Sylverhawk & Razerhawk) def. Team Sea Stars 6. Hallowicked def. Icarus to retain the Grand Championship - Frightmare distracted the referee late in the match, leading to Ophidian coming out to drag Frightmare to the back. - In an epilogue, Team Sea Stars asked UltraMantis Black to be their mentor, but he turned them down, saying he walks in darkness too great for them to dare follow. "Happily Ever After" - Standing beside his classic hot rod, Lucas Calhoun regales a roughneck pal with his feats in the Infinite Gauntlet, when Jeremy Leary rolls up in his own hot rod. Without saying a word, they eyeball a nearby quarter mile strip of road. 1. Jeremy Leary def. Heidi Lovelace - Leary mocked some of Calhoun's antics late in the match. - Back on the quarter mile, Calhoun and Leary start and rev their engines. Calhoun's pal gives the "go" signal, and they peel out. 2. UltraMantis Black def. DUSTIN - This is Mantis' third point - Back on the quarter mile, Calhoun is stalled on the start line because his car is leaking fluid. As he drives off, Leary holds up a plug from Calhoun's car and laughs. - Race Jaxon cut a promo setting up his new narcissistic character. He apparently does Crossfit and counts carbs. His new catchphrase is "That's so Race." 3. Race Jaxon def. Lucas Calhoun - Post-match, Jeremy Leary comes out in more of Calhoun's gear and mocks how someone's stolen his identity, but he wants the "ultimate trophy." He challenges Calhoun to a hair-vs-hair match. - Back on the quarter mile, Calhoun is ready to deck Leary, but his pal silently convinces him not to do so. Calhoun angrily hands his keys over to a smug Leary. 4. Solo Darling & Travis Huckabee def. The Bloc Party (Mr. Azerbaijan & The Proletariat Boar of Moldova) 5. The Closers def. Xyberhawx 2000 (Sylverhawk & Razerhawk) - This gives the Closers their third point. 6. Missile Assault Man def. Juan Francisco de Coronado - In an epilogue, Princess Kimberlee is with The Whisper and isn't happy about it. She says she thought it was over. He whispers something we can't make out. She says, "Fine. What do you want me to do now?" He whispers something in her ear.

I am honestly getting really bored with CHIKARA. Most of my favs are gone and their replacements are kinda...meh. It's not even the lack of big names or anything, it's just the new gimmicks are pretty terrible.
