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.

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.

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 here 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.

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

Also why the Flordia Bros were amazing.

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.
