Anyone else a fan of the promotion?

redoneja 05-11-2006 11:17 PM

Never seen it before, read about it though. Watched the video and while I respect the workers, it just isn't my style of prowrestling.

Mister Sinister 05-12-2006 12:59 AM

Lol at the guy reading the New Paper while doing a Camel Clutch!

NeanderCarl 05-12-2006 02:03 AM

I liked the sextuplet stunner. Amusing.

Blitz 05-12-2006 02:38 AM

Looked at the website, never seen any matches.

Interesting gimmicks, tho.

Jay Phoenix doesn't get along with them :)

Aye! They're a fine promotion if they be yer style. Here's one of me favorite odd one-on-one matches they be doin. Mike Quackenbush vs. Claudio Castiliogni.

Someone should show this to Vermaat, so he can see how NEW and INNOVATIVE Rey Mysterio's current style is.

I've read about Chikara Pro, and I am 90% sure that if I saw THE BEAR~! maul a referee, I would mark the fuck out.

I think it is a great light-hearted promotion that knows how to have fun as well as put on some quality matches. The next time the WWE thinks about reviving the Juniors Division, they should just hire a bunch of Chikara guys and let them go at it.

Mr. Nerfect 05-13-2006 06:11 AM

HAHAHAHAHAHA! If the WWE recap shows were like this, I'd watch them every week! Showing the matches in full would have made it even better:

Mr. Monday Morning 05-13-2006 07:14 AM

I've heard about it but never seen it. Hero & Claudio are the tag champs at the moment aren't they?

Sloppy and terrible. Dude, I like a good spot fest, but that was just wrong.

Mr. Monday Morning 09-04-2006 10:35 AM

This needs bumping. More people need to be exposed to CHIKARA. Or have CHIKARA exposed to them, I'm not sure which way around it should be. It's not the greatest technical exhibition promotion ever but it is fun and frequently hilarious stuff.

The Quackenbush - Claudio match from a few posts above is still on YouTube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96GCXvrWbhE">here</a> Czech it out

I've actually watched a little more of the CHIKARA stuff on youtube and its grown on me despite my original comment upon viewing it. It's just good fun entertainment.

What Would Kevin Do? 09-06-2006 02:49 AM

Entertainment wrestling can be amazing. Hence why I love DDT (Dynamic Dream Team)

Also why the Flordia Bros were amazing.

.44 Magdalene 09-07-2006 06:03 PM

I haven't seen nearly as much as I want to of it, but I've seen enough to mark out like a madman anytime somebody even mentions Chikara.

Dorkchop 09-08-2006 08:36 PM

Seems like a lot of fun.

Mr. Nerfect 09-08-2006 09:31 PM

Some tycoon needs to come along and market this shit. Seriously, everyone knows wrestling is fake (which is the stance I think WSX should take), but if you market it so that it is just "who can do the most awesome stuff, and create the most entertaining characters" it could take off.

Blitz 09-09-2006 01:29 AM

Castagnoli/Quack was a good match.

Blitz 09-09-2006 01:30 AM

Also, saw a highlight video with a guy in a dragon costume doing a spinning tailwhip off the turnbuckle.

That was awesome.

Mr. Monday Morning 09-10-2006 05:45 AM

Dragon Dragon :love:

hb2k 09-11-2006 04:23 PM

Not my style of wrestling at all. I hate it, in fact.

Mr. Monday Morning 09-11-2006 04:55 PM

Thank you for that revealing contribution.

Steve The Pirate 09-12-2006 01:07 PM

Also it has UltraMantis Black and Commisioner Bob Saget, making it a thousand times better than any other federation in the world.

Ultramantis Black is like the Jon Lovitz of color commentary

HOW DARE YOU. Seriously with all of these horrible commentators... Excalibur = UltraMantis Black > ALL

BigDaddyCool 09-12-2006 06:48 PM

OMG, that is some corny ass shit.

redoneja 09-12-2006 07:19 PM

Just subscribed to CHIKARA's Podcast A-Go-Go

Mr. Monday Morning 09-13-2006 03:55 AM

The Lovitz thing was meant to be complimentary :o

I gotta say, that's the worst name for a company ever.
