CombineThresher posted:Ultramantis leaving is what sapped a lot of my enthusiasm for the product. That, and the one thing Chikara had going for it was its sense of humor and that's been watered down a lot as talent leaves and Quack doubles down on comic book references. For me it's a LOT of the original crew being gone, and it doesn't help that the one guy who SHOULD have left to be a indy star, Hallowicked, didn't, which just makes me sad. I like Eddie Kingston but the man's gonna die in the ring and it's gonna be a bummer.

Gavok posted:Er, never mind. If there's one thing that I dislike about Drew Gulak being a WWE contracted guy, it's that the backup plan can't be Drew and Rory doing their shtick. Holy poo poo do I love the Amazing Gulak Brothers, what a dopey but fun gimmick

Hopefully they're able to have some fun guest teams again, that always helps the tourney's interest level I think my favourite years were 2012 and 2015 El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Mar 1, 2018 |

Hopefully Tarver doesn't try to murder someone with a chair like he did with Greg Iron

KungFu Grip posted:I hope we get an out of nowhere team of Team GCW with Janela, Gage and Riddle As cool as it would be, no way do they let Nick Gage anywhere near a Chikara ring. If there were a GCW team it'd be more likely to be like, Ellsworth, Deppen, and Janela.

CombineThresher posted:That's a shame, because unlike a lot of the other Chikara regulars, TD could probably have good matches with people outside of Chikara. Hallowicked, Frightmare, Dasher Hatfield and pre-injury Ultramantis would also probably qualify for this, but not many others.

CombineThresher posted:And Eddie Kingston, don't forget. Hallowicked's gimmick really falls flat outside of Chikara, and while Ultramantis was always a little awkward in the ring, he was such a good worker otherwise that his matches were always fun. I'm mainly talking about people who stayed in CHIKARA, UMB and Hallowicked only occasionally took other bookings elsewhere; Quack didn't have the balls to tell Kingston when he could and couldn't work, and Donst left Chikara before he really did antyhing elsewhere.

BetterWeirdthanDead posted:Dunkerton still wrestles as Dunkerton, so is him not wrestling with Chikara another weird thing with Quack? He wrestles in Europe a lot, so I think it's a case of him wanting to branch out rather than anything personal. Although I could see Quack having a problem with the convict character Dunk was doing in Corgan's old company.

Alastor_the_Stylish posted:Quack's wrist had basically been broken for years and years. Some wrist bone is all messed up and it's stuck that way now. Which would be bad enough except he has really serious back problems to the point that he needs a cane to walk

EugeneJ posted:Daniels without a shirt for the first time in what...5 years? He went shirtless at All In. They actually had a segment on BTE afterwards where Kaz and Scorpio razzed him about having a salad at In N' Out Burger and he made reference to how he finally got the body he wanted and that was how he was keeping it. Daniels is one of those guys in the biz I genuinely admire. Great at his craft, respected by his peers seemingly universally, and does it because he wants to, not because he has to.

syzpid posted:I hated NRG with a passion, but I've come around on Race because him and his stable at least seems interesting. I've hated Hype Rockwell just floating around and being a jobber to the stars even more then his time as a part of NRG. Hype's had 12 matches this year and only has a win over a jobber and in a trios match against Blank's stable. The last time Hype has won a match (not counting a 1 minute DQ, Jobber or Blank/Race) was Aniversario in 2015 which was a 4 way that also had Los Ice Creams, The Batiri and The Colony. Sugar also lives in the UK now, I think?

RealFoxy posted:Sorry to break kayfabe but Tracy Williams was the original Green Ant in Chikara who had a lot of experience with Hallowicked and is a pretty drat good technical wrestler. ....I actually didn't know he was Green Ant. I know Drew Gulak was an Ant, and I think tHURTeen (one of theceorst wrestling name's ever) was Fire Ant?

Gavok posted:Chikara announced that they're no longer doing physical media and right now they're doing a big sale on their DVDs and blu rays. Considering the cost of it for them, that might be smart.
