When did this WC show start? I thought it started 7 EST and it's 11:30 already.

Yep

I might have said it elsewhere, but anybody hoping it would have been shorter than the last card (4 hours) was hoping for a lot when this card was announced

Jesus...4 hours +.

Every card is 10 matches. Always. They're never gonna get themselves under 4 hours and it sucks.

So Jervis Cottonbelly is now Gentleman Jervis and his entrance at WrestleCircus was met with a "gently caress Chikara" chant while the commentators noted that his belly was no longer made of cotton and speculated as to what other soft things it could be made of. His mask also no longer has a monocle.

So should we hate Mike Quackenbush now?

It's a weird thing. Jervis is a Chikara creation, right? And the guy playing him now has been doing it all over the place for a long time. So it's strange that they would wait so long to copyright the name, but it makes sense that they would want to I guess? I dunno. Wrestling is weird.

Blah blah blah blah!!
Chikara that world renowned extremely famous wrestling company that literally everyone knows about needs to protect their brand. They can't have a guy go wrestle elsewhere and get over at every single show he goes to and potentially bring more fans to world famous chikara. That's bad business.

Breathe.

I went to the Wrestle Circus show last night.

Pros:

Like all of the talent ruled. I'm glad I got to see Lio Rush and Dijak before they went to WWE, RPG Vice and the Lucha Bros were great as expected, Sami Callahan is real good at being a total piece of poo poo, etc.

The crowd was pretty chill except for one guy near us who really thought he was gonna get himself over

Cons:

Toooooooo loving long. Shows don't need to go 5 hours.

You can't see poo poo when people are outside of the ring.

The scramble match.

Match sequencing, putting Rachel Ellering/Tessa Blanchard on last was basically sending them out to die

I keep forgetting about that dude. What, isn't the angle like he bought the copyright to the name Chuck Taylor so the actual Chuck Taylor had to wrestle in Chikara with a different name each time?

The real Chuck Tayor just wrestles as DUSTIN now in CHIKARA. He did have like 20 names before he settled on that one though.

Bit late here, but this match was utterly insane. Match of the night and on a card with Pete, Tyler, Trent, Ospreay, Travis, Flash etc etc that's pretty crazy

Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis are definitely a pair to watch. Theyd both wrestled Attack a couple of times before but this was their proper arrival on the scene

Just saw this and am SO drat HAPPY. 10 matches crammed in there was way too much, and there were always these filler matches. And what sucks is (almost) every match is good so it's hard to complain about seeing some of these wrestlers, but it was still way too long of a show.

This is awesome news.

The gag was that after one of OG Chuck's retirement tour fakeouts, the reaction was "No, you said you were retiring. You gave up being Chuck Taylor and this guy went and bought the name in the meantime. You can come back and wrestle, but you can't be Chuck Taylor anymore."

The best replacement name is still "This Is" Howie Dewitt.

So apparently Adam Cole's done with indie dates now, and this was his last one, and this happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E12U2zkTZqU A couple minutes after the video his shoulder popped out again. Dude was in a sling when I saw him today.

From what I understand it has something to do with Jervis wanting money from Chikara for the gimmick being in the video game and threatened legal action so Chikara trademarked the name in retaliation

It's possible I misheard and it was just his last date with IWC, in which case I look kinda dumb.
