I think Jervis's brain exploded. Or maybe someone else involved in wrestlecircus.

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

Tarver's chilled out quite a bit since he started doing music. Not sure if he's lightened up his hands tho.

Does Jolly Roger even wrestle anymore? I kinda remember he was a good lookin enough guy he could slide on that for a bit.

Rumble Bees vs Janelope was SO GOOD. Solo countered a Doomsday Device into a power slam and it looked amazing. Janela said tonight was his last match in CZW, so it would not surprise me to see him and Penelope become regulars in CHIKARA going forward.

Janela doing Chikara would be weird since his schtick really works when its R-rated. I'd start watching Chikara more if he did tho.

It was the first time seeing Chikara in a while(since BDK ran its course) and it was pretty awesome. They got their production down slick. I know Quack gets a lot of poo poo for comic book storylines but he really hits the "maybe I should grab a few back issues to get the whole story" part. I liked the video packages running down the angles for matches and ongoing feuds. All pretty clear cut even when the stuff being shown is absolutely batshit.

If I wasn't already critically over budget on streaming services, I'd be all over the Chikara stuff.

random thoughts:
I liked Bakabella on commentary because he's got the grizzled vet schtick down. Even worked a little blue in spots but still managed to keep it PG.

Icarus has gotten better on the mic.

Seeing Kimber come back was wild. I'd forgotten the ace of chikara was a woman that hits way out of her weightclass and looks fuckin fabulous doing it.

Ditto for Solo Darling. She's so cool.

I dug Oceania's crazy evil ways.

Chikara is cool.

The intermission match with Quack running down hold after hold shows me he shoulda called Bloodsport.

So at the last Hour of Power, Sylverhawk got his rear end kicked by Oceanea and Merlok so bad that he's off the roster and now in the alumni section. Meanwhile, Danjerhawk is a new member of the team who will be debuting at this Saturday's Infinite Gauntlet.

Barksdale isn't a dog, got it.

If I was a dog, I'd run from wrestling rings too. Very scary sounding!

why? The only way GCW managed to keep Teddy on task was because of Nick Gage's motivational speaking skills.

he was in the match at Beyond's Americanrana and did quite well for himself. Very pretty young man.

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.

edit: oh, and Tim Donst.

Really, Quack should get back on his OCD meds and start letting his students work people besides each other again so they'll get better.

AFAIK there's nothing stopping WF students from working other shows as long as they're available for Chikara dates. Quite a few have Real Life Commitments that make going full time indie wrestler not viable for them.

I thought from an artistic standpoint, Ashes was really cool but they could have done up a graphic novel and gotten the same effect.

Merlok reminds me of Escorpion Egipcio but I'm sure they're not the same person.

Is King of Trios going to stream on Powerbomb.tv? Saw a little promo for the event itself during the WWR show today but it didn't specify whether or not it'd be live-streamed or just on-demand after the fact.

I know they mentioned some kind of partnership or something with CHIKARA at the last Beyond show (I think?) but I haven't heard much since then. I also haven't done a ton of sleuthing other than some quick Googles, so maybe I've missed something.

They said something on the Americanrana broadcast, I asked Powerbomb's twitter like twice now and haven't gotten a reply. I suspect DC might have misconstrued something.

Powerbomb.tv has Chikara's season 4 up if you wanna relive some 05-era indie goodness.
