Dasher not winning the title at the end of the season was a real bummer. Would have been a Top 10 All-Time moment if he won.

I have sources that tell me there might be 2 Aussie teams this year. One all male team, one all female team.

Gavok posted:They did an Hour of Power today with the biggest development being that Green Ant II and Thief Ant upset Cajun Crawdad and Hermit Crab to qualify for Tag World Grand Prix. After the match, Fire Ant showed up and kicked their asses. Either he doesn't approve of their gimmicks or this is his way of protecting them from the fate of the other ants. To be fair, Thief Ant doesn't exactly sound like a good guy. I wonder if they are gonna turn Fire Ant full heel. That would be interesting.

coconono posted:Does Jolly Roger even wrestle anymore? I kinda remember he was a good lookin enough guy he could slide on that for a bit. He wrestles as Tyler Murphy now, so he completely dropped the pirate gimmick. I think he mainly wrestles for NYWC.

Gavok posted:They did Tag World today and after the first round of the tournament, they went to intermission. During intermission, they tend to just play a bunch of recent Chikara YouTube videos on loop. After a video on how the Rumble Bees will split up if they don't win Tag World, they accidentally put up a pre-match graphic for like 30 seconds of Oceanea/Merlock vs. Throwbacks for the tournament finals. Then immediately after, they replayed that Rumble Bees video. Several minutes later, the semis started. Whoops! 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.

coconono posted: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 works in a weird way. He's more goofy and stuff. It's like he wresting while also babysitting a 5 year old child and must be on his best behavior.

I hated Eddie as a babyface because he always sold his injured leg for the entire match and it sucked. However, all that is forgiven after watching his High Noon promo because OMG that promo... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1AGjIQKxNE

CHIKARA show was good. Nothing amazing happened though besides Crossbones pants falling down and them having to go almost immediately to the finish. Kobald's tweeets about it afterwards seem to indicate was not happy at all with Crossbones.

I wonder why this show isn't running at the WF. Almost seems like its a sold show or something. I can't think of any other reason for them having it in such a weird location.

JFDC is probably the biggest success story from CHIKARA's Wrestling Is _____ shows. He is a good wrestler, but I feel like he's been pushed too long at this point. Hopefully Dasher finally gets a title run soon. If anyone deserves a run with that belt, its him.

Mel Mudkiper posted:yeah honestly I feel bad for the dog because he always seems really freaked out when they bring him out When Solo has him around the merch tables, he's the most calm and nice dog though. He's really well trained it seems. Maybe the lights are what scares him.

new KOT team: https://twitter.com/CHIKARApro/status/1006355436499595264 Aja Perera does a alien gimmick, so I bet Quack will make her the new Saturyne.

That Mr Touchdownn vs David Starr match was REALLY good. I don't know why Mr TD isn't getting booked all over, cause he is so good.

Gavok posted:I meant in the kayfabe sense. The storyline was that Dunkerton was forced to be part of FIST and it wasn't working out because he was an honorable face and FIST was made up of heels. Eventually, Icarus started to realize that he and Dunkerton had good chemistry as a team and started defending him. Gargano got fed up and quit Chikara, Chuck Taylor just shrugged and did his own thing and Dunkerton also quit the company because Icarus was trying to help him out in matches via cheating. That transitioned into Icarus' face turn and role as the main guy trying to bring Chikara back from the grave. They never did tie up the storyline with Donst after Ashes. Was he drugged?

KOT is not streaming anywhere. Gotta be there in person to watch live or wait for CHIIKARA to release it as VOD.

This is a seriously great promo by Katie Lea/Winter. I didn't even realize this match on Friday has its own theme but I am super pumped about it now. https://twitter.com/katarinasinfamy/status/1034555010179260416

I am so hyped for Eagles vs Quack. But yeah, Danjerhawk trying to wrestle when he was totally out of it was sad. That whole match was not good. Just sloppy stuff from everyone. Also, Mr Touchdown fell right in front of me and it didn't look bad at all. Felt like a total storyline injury but he was in a cast yesterday and Dasher said he had a strained fibula. So, I dunno.

Dlowmx posted:The twitter thread said he was out there the next day wrestling, I’m hoping it was as close to hitting his head without hitting it. But yeah I’ll agree. High risk/very little reward. He was in a ten man tag in night 2 and the babyface team kept trying too kill him too. It was a running joke so I assume he's fine.

Thunderfrog is so fun. I really wish he could be on more shows, cause the dude is just so charismatic. Also of note, Danjerhawk was out at the merch tables telling people he'll be fine. Razerhawk had his arm in some kind of self-made sling. Mr Touchdown was not anywhere that I saw on Night 3. Kinda bummed Molly Holly only stayed for 1 night. Would have liked her to have been able to do more, but I guess she's retired so one match was enough. https://twitter.com/MikeQuackenbush/status/1036373748465717248

Dasher is the interim-Grand Champion until Mr Touchdown gets back. So, I guess his injury was legit.

I dig a roster with Oceanea, Solo, Penelope, and Blanche. I wish they could find a way to get Veda Scott on some shows though.

I bet you all the money I have that Quack sent Dan Murphy of PWI a strongly worded letter about breaking kayfabe with this.
