It starts with the battle royal on Taylor's Instagram, then after the Green Ant win it switches over to Taylor's Vine for a few matches, then back to Instagram after the Boar wins.

Tonight's show lived up to what I thought it was gonna be. Solid show. I did think the 3.0/Ice Creams match was pretty short, but it was fun nonetheless.

I can't believe Thunderfrog's hammer broke! And then Jon Barber breaks kayfabe and easily picks up the head of the broken hammer and moves it. Idiot.

Portia was "nice" enough to pose for a picture for me before her match:



Nice to see Mr Touchdown a babyface. Dasher's son is adorable and Super Human is a weird dude. Very odd family he has got there.

Sidney Backabella was all over this show. He pulled a Miss Elizabeth WM IV and had a differnt outfit for each match he was involved in. During intermission he was selling old wrestling figures and NES games.

Batiri threatened to do a BJ Whitmer piledriver spot on the ring apron. I popped for that.

Oleg had his best match I can remember tonight, Amasis nearly died on a dive to the outside though.

With all the team tags, it sure seems like they are setting up a tag title. DC was eating pears, so I assume since the Banana is the singles title, the pear will be the tag titles.

What even more awesome is that he also routinely sells Devastation Corporation match compilations... on videotape. :D Also, as it turns out, their home stomping grounds were at this local wrestling school in Arlington, TX right down the block from an office I used to work at. O_o

Anyone else going to the Wrestling is Cool event today? Paypal was giving them trouble, and the guy in charge of that was apparently on his honeymoon all week when it happened so all ticket sales will be at the door. I'm gonna try to get there early so me and my pal can grab front row tickets. I was excited enough for the reunion of the Osirian Portal, and Eric Corvis really impressed me in his bout with Kingston (also, my girlfriend has fallen head over heels for Taylor and wants me to come back with a glossy at least).

Again, if anyone wants to say hi, I'll be the fat dork with pink and black hair in the Hairless Aggression shirt. See y'all there.

It was a good show. Not as good as WiF was last night but decent. Thunderfrog vs Gulak and the main event were the best matches. I also enjoy seeing Kingston go crazy and make kids cry. Also, Thunderfrog is REALLY bummed about breaking his Hammer of Peace. I really feel bad for the dude.

Done! I'd seen him in bits of ICW shows passed to me by friends. He played along and sang a bit of the Harry Potter theme. After the show he said the the crowd was as enthusiastic as ICW, but nowhere near as mad or drunk. XD

Also, Estonian Thunderfrog gave everyone sad, sweaty hugs after the show. I couldn't buy a shirt so I bought a giant novelty hammer from him instead. Gulak vs Thunderfrog and Corvis vs Cornado were my two favorite singles matches of the show.

I mentioned this in the Puro thread but I'm going to repeat it here: that list of champs doesn't really convey the hilarity of what actually happened that night.

The sex doll was champ. Someone set a table over her and counted the pin, making the table the new champ. Then someone put a plate on the table, a bowl on the plate, rice in the bowl, curry sauce on the rice, and katsu on the sauce to make a complete katsu curry, counting the pin each time. Then Inokuma ate the curry.

I am bummed I am not going to the WiF! Reading show. I can't get out of work, so I gotta skip it. Its only my 3rd show I've missed since they started in 2011. It's starting to get better and lots more storylines coming together. Even the backstage video they did during the iPPV was entertaining. WiF App > WWE App.

Now apparently when people sign that petition on savechikara.com, they get a Condor Security logo and a message saying their IP has been logged and recorded. Condor Security is part of that whole Titor Conglomerate thing that 'shut down' Chikara in-story back in June.
