CHIKARA thread.
Kind of surprised there isn't one already. I'm going to attend the Piedmont, AL shows in October. This will be my first live CHIKARA event so I'm looking forward to it.

Re: CHIKARA thread.
The little that I've seen of Chikara, it was fun. Mixed Martial Archie/Archibald Peck is entertaining.
Re: CHIKARA thread.
Yeah, I've found most people don't get into it. I 've seen a little bit and enjoyed the hell out of it. Also going to my first show in October in North Carolina. Should be a good time.syxxpakk wrote:Kind of surprised there isn't one already. I'm going to attend the Piedmont, AL shows in October.

Re: CHIKARA thread.
I highly recommend to all of you to watch "Chikara's Ring Of Wax". Really good undercard and awesome main event. One of the best shows of the year IMO.
MOOSE!

Re: CHIKARA thread.
Guys. I just got back from KOT night 3. Most fun I've ever had at a wrestling show. Ever. And the show was amazing. Go out of your way to watch these shows and support this company.

Re: CHIKARA thread.
This KoT doesn´t look that a tournament that i would like, too much nostalgia, i don´t know the half of the wrestlers/teams.
Re: CHIKARA thread.
Trust me. It works. I had the same thoughts going in but everything flowed perfectly. It never felt like we were getting too much of the old timers in the ring or too much of anything. Chikara manages to balances like 8 different styles of wrestling in one show and just make it a great time.187_Joeism wrote:This KoT doesn´t look that a tournament that i would like, too much nostalgia, i don´t know the half of the wrestlers/teams.
I only went to Night 3 but they manged to balance comedy, pure wrestling, Puroesu/Japanese style, Nostalgic moments, great storytelling, and introduce me to stuff and wrestlers I've never seen before. Going in I had the same thoughts that ehhh I don't even know half of these guys, but the next morning I found myself looking up all of them to see more.
I'd recommend the KOT shows to anyone who enjoys wrestling.
Re: CHIKARA thread.
Why you went only to Night 3? by the way what's your opinion about the KOT finals? i heard it was MOTY (i have no idea who is there so don't tell me).fm20000 wrote:Trust me. It works.

Re: CHIKARA thread.
Other stuff came up and could only make it to night 3 with my brother. Really wish I could have gone to all 3 nights though and definitely will next year.DieHard wrote:Why you went only to Night 3? by the way what's your opinion about the KOT finals? i heard it was MOTY (i have no idea who is there so don't tell me).fm20000 wrote:Trust me.

And the finals match was great. Really great match and moment overall. Honestly though my favorite match of the night was a match earlier in the show. Don't want to ruin it for you though. Smart Mark is supposed to post the shows any time now I think.

CHIKARA King Of Trios 2012 - Night 1 Review:
King of Trios 2011 First Round match:
The Colony (Green Ant, Fire Ant & assailANT) vs. Sendai Girls (Meiko Satomura, Dash Chisako & Sendai Sachiko) - **3/4
Very good opener, it was really cool to see The Colony working as heels and not refusing to to work with assailANT.
King of Trios 2011 First Round match:
The Batiri (Obariyon, Kodama & Kobald) vs. 3.0 & Akuma - ***
Fuck, am i the only one who loves Koblad? imo he is really funny. Fun match, didn't cared about it at the beginning but they did a great job.
King of Trios 2011 First Round match:
Osaka Pro (Kikutaro, Ebessan & Takoyakida) vs. F.I.S.T. (Chuck Taylor, Johnny Gargano & Icarus) - TOO AWESOME FOR STARS
Seriously, this match was as funny as Taylor vs Archie earlier this year, fucking EPIC.
King of Trios 2011 First Round match:
The Swarm (combatANT, deviANT & Soldier Ant) vs. Manami Toyota, Mike Quackenbush & Jigsaw - ***
King of Trios 2011 First Round match:
The Throwbacks (Mr. Touchdown, Dasher Hatfield & Matt Classic) vs. Team JWP (Commando Bolshoi, Tsubasa Kuragaki & Kaori Yoneyama) - ***1/2
MATT F'N CLASSIC. Awesome.
King of Trios 2011 First Round match:
The Spectral Envoy (Hallowicked, Frightmare & UltraMantis Black) vs. The Mysterious & Handsome Stranger, Mihara & Tito Santana - **1/2
The match was about Tito Santana hot tag so there's nothing to talk about. Wonder what will happpen with Victoria and Archie after how she looked at him.
King of Trios 2011 First Round match:
The Faces Of Pain (Meng, The Warlord & The Barbarian) vs. Team ROH (The Young Bucks & Mike Bennett) - **1/4
I was tired after all the action and didn't paid attention to this, didn't looked like i missed too much.
King of Trios 2011 First Round match:
Team WWF (Aldo Montoya, Tatanka & 1-2-3 Kid) vs. The Extreme Trio (Jerry Lynn, Too Cold Scorpio & Tommy Dreamer) - ***
Kinda like the main event from last year KOT Night 1. Good but nothing too crazy or amazing. Enjoyable main event.

Re: CHIKARA thread.
I know this thread hasn't had any activity in almost a month, but I just wanted to put it out there that I went to my first wrestling show and luckily had the opportunity to make it CHIKARA.
The Zodiac Crimes in Gibsonville, NC.
The card got shuffled some because of Frightmare getting injured, however, it made the main-event that much more awesome. I got a chuckle out of seeing The Bravado Brothers. They look better as a team and I really think the tour in Japan helped them. I liked their ring attire with the Carolina Tar Heels symbol, but I'm more of a Duke Blue Devils fan myself.
CHIKARA's a great promotion to experience live wrestling if you can let loose and enjoy kid friendly, goofy entertainment.

The meet and greet at the end was a load of fun also. Well worth the 3 hour drive!

Re: CHIKARA thread.
I didn't stick around for the meet and greet. I did get to shake The Mysterious and Handsome Stranger's hand on the way out the door as well as salute Soldier Ant.
Wow, that doesn't make my hour and a half drive bad at all in comparison.
What was your favorite match?

Re: CHIKARA thread.
The main was by far my favorite. I also really enjoyed the Bravados/Throwbacks and thought Jacob/Donst were hilarious together in their match as usual.
