Highlights from tonight's show: - Prakash Sabar interfered on the United Nations' behalf and FINALLY hit the Bronco Buster after two years of failing. The post-match hinted at a future Sean Waltman/Sabar match down the line. - One of the dudes in the Fight Club Pro match did an airplane spin WHILE doing a big swing. My mind insists it was CGI somehow. - Kevin Condron beat Icarus by hitting him in the head with a chair behind the ref's back. Icarus has been in every Trios tournament and this is the first time he's ever failed to get past the first round. Afterwards, everyone treated it like a serious thing as they brought him to the back, likely playing on his recent history with concussions. - Oleg wore Batiri war paint, but the Batiri were jerks to him. - Hollywood Nova was doing Hogan poses. Then he noticed he was in the ring with Blaster McMassive. A chant of "THIS IS AWKWARD!" broke out and Nova decided to sheepishly sneak out of the ring. - Devastation Corporation vs. Blue World Order had a hilarious spot between Max Smashmaster and Blue Meanie where they argued who would run the ropes during their test of strength. It became a heated, loud, yet strangely civilized argument. "YOU RUN! YOU'RE FATTER!" "THAT MEANS THAT YOU'RE MORE MOBILE AND THEREFORE SHOULD RUN!" "YOU RAISE A GOOD POINT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO DO IT SO YOU RUN!" "HOW ABOUT ON THE COUNT OF THREE WE BOTH RUN?!" "THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA, LET'S DO IT!" - Kung Fu Grip is a really nice guy IRL and cool to talk to. - Amasis had a pretty sweet ant mask on during his match. - AJ Styles had rainbow streamers thrown at him when he entered the ring. - Missile Assault Man killed a bus full of children in Zimbabwe. - AJ slipped off the top rope during a spot, recovered, hit a different move, then complained about the stupid lucha ropes. After the match, the Young Bucks superkicked the top rope out of revenge. - Snake Pit vs. Nightmare Warriors was really good, though to my surprise, Nightmare Warriors won. Snake Pit was my pick to win. Silver Ant's been kind of brainwashed by Hallowicked and acted as a heel. Afterwards, Hallowicked and Frightmare asked for him to join their post-match prayer. Finally, Silver Ant agreed and embraced them. Then they tore off part of his mask to reveal a red and white color scheme (to match his teammates). - Eddie Kingston gets poo poo on a bunch here, but he's so great in trios match. It's the Roman Reigns effect. - Aerostar brought a flamethrower with him. Really. - In the spot that made me mark harder than anything in forever, Orange Cassidy appeared on the apron to surprise Drago by spitting orange juice mist into his face. Drago completely no-sold it and engulfed him in green mist in return. The teams that advanced: United Nations Fight Club Pro Arcane Horde Devastation Corporation Kevin Condron Presents Battleborn Bullet Club Nightmare Warriors Team AAA I HAVE to imagine Bullet Club vs. AAA is the Night 2 main event. It's too much of a money match to waste.

Surprisingly, a lot of heels went over in the first round. United Nations, Devastation Corporation, Battleborn and Nightmare Warriors are straight-up heels. Arcane Horde is a face team, but they were borderline heels in comparison to Crown and Court. Then Bullet Club were most definitely heels against Battle Hive, even though they can easily switch if they felt like it.

Jon Barber is such a bad ref I am pretty sure its deliberate at this point Last time they were in Easton he botched the end of a match so badly that Eddie Kingston threw a huge shitfit that I am not sure was scripted KungFu Grip posted:Missile Assault Man is like what a lovely Biff Busick would be. Missile Assault Man is disappointing because he was the only 2012-2013 colony expansion guy to really click other than AssailANT. Plus, there are already two other "haunted angry tweener ants" with Soldier Ant and Silver Ant so it seems like kind of a waste. The joke of calling him Missile Assault Man is great though Mel Mudkiper fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Sep 5, 2015 |

Gavok posted:- Eddie Kingston gets poo poo on a bunch here, but he's so great in trios match. It's the Roman Reigns effect. As someone who has poo poo on him in the past a bit, he really is great in any non-singles match. It covers his weaknesses (lack of owning knees primarily) and still lets him do what he's pretty good at (hard-hitting moves that may or may not be way too stiff). But there's no reason without miracle surgery that Kingston should be working lots of single matches in 2015 or beyond.

I'd like to also say that this felt like the best Night 1 in a long time. The post-intermission matches were especially great. I spent most of the last 3 matches marking out.

KungFu Grip posted:Missile Assault Man is like what a lovely Biff Busick would be. Someone in the crowd yelled "MISSILE! ASSAULT! BRISCOE!" which was pretty funny. (On a similar note, I'm happy that my exclamation of "THE ANT COMMUNITY?!" during Bullet Club vs. Battlehive got a good couple laughs) Mel Mudkiper posted:Jon Barber is such a bad ref I am pretty sure its deliberate at this point I don't recognize ref behavior as much as others, but his double count during the Nightmare Warriors/Snake Pit match stuck out at me as being really sad.

I remember when Jon Barber used to be a "wrestling journalist" and he sucked at that, too. Got banned from DVDVR pretty quick because he wouldn't stop plugging a retrospective on XPW. Other than Rob Black, who loving cares about XPW?

Fenix said a swear word and now Quack isn't allowing him to sell merchandise as punishment. Apparently fans are starting obscene chants in protest and getting kicked out. There is a CHIKARA riot happening. My dreams are coming true.

From reading /wooo/ Fenix shouted "gently caress YOU!" during Team AAA's match (I'd assume at his opponents?). Then AAA wasn't at their merch table at intermission, Fenix grabbed some shirts and left. Also this: https://twitter.com/johnblud/status/640339900517228544/photo/1 If Quack's trying to big time AAA/kicking out Fenix for cussing then loving  .

Then AAA wasn't at their merch table at intermission, Fenix grabbed some shirts and left. I mean, he swore last night too so maybe it was one of those things where he was already told not to do it? I am split, on one hand, trying to punish Fenix for swearing seems extreme, but, on the other hand, enforcing a no-swearing policy and keeping Chikara family friendly is part of its charm. If Fenix made a mistake and this was Quack's reaction, Quack is being a dick. But if Fenix knew he wasn't allowed to do it and did it anyways then Fenix is being the dick here.

At the same time, the reason I do Chikara and not any other Indys is because the weird rear end in a top hat fans who want to turn every crowd into a low-rate ECW are also pretty obnoxious. Chikara crowds are the most fun to be in and part of it is everyone isn't trying to be as antagonistic as possible. If you are upset at the company during a PG show and start chanting profanity you are being the manchild here.

It's OK to run an angle about killing a bunch of children, but if you swear you've crossed a major line. Also, if you make my coffee wrong, you've crossed another major line. -Things Mike Quackenbush believes.

So, Team AAA won an awesome match. Fenix pretty loudly yelled "gently caress you" at Frightmare who was in a corner. Crowd got really quiet for a good 30 seconds before chanting "You can't say that". Personally, I don't think it's a big deal and I didn't see anyone in the crowd complaining. They were even chanting Fenix's name a couple mins later. Quack gonna Quack I suppose. The show was really good though. When 3.0 came out, the Uproxx chick was sitting behind me pouting in her chair like a spoiled brat. Th at made me smile. Oleg had himself quite a night though. Dude is really over now. DM Punk fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Sep 6, 2015 |

Capsaicin posted:Overall results? Jaka beat Ashley Remington in a CotI match thanks to Bakabella's interference. Fight Club Pro defeated United Nations Shynron beat 2 Cold Scorpio, Amasis and Matt Cross for RDV Team AAA beat Nightmare Warriors NRG and 3.0 beat Colony XTREME Force and Flying Francis Bullet Club beat Battleborn Mandrews beat Mascara whatever-his-name-is, Ophidian and Pinkie Devastation Corporation beat Arcane Horde So the thing with Fenix is that it wasn't like the usual people cursing during Chikara shows. Like, it was SO BLATANT. It was downright climactic. He was the face in peril for a while, started doing his comeback, pushed Frightmare into the corner, flipped him off with both hands and loudly went "gently caress YOU!!" before continuing. There's a reason everyone's talking about it. Everyone in the arena heard it. The other guys getting kicked out had nothing to do with Fenix. They were a group of guys who were being dicks the first night and got a bunch of complaints. Then they kept it up the second night and got thrown out. KungFu Grip posted:Barber wasnt on the show at all tonight so maybe Quack axed him. He was at the Conclave. I'll talk more about the show later. Tired now.
