I love CHIKARA! Why so many indy wrestling companies get caught up in being Hardcore or Five Star matches CHIKARA is about fun and creativity. It so wildly different from any other wrestling company out there. Things that would be so stupid or unfunny any where else work in CHIKARA. And they have had some great matches over the years. The promotion was started by Mike Quackenbush who was training wrestlers at the CHIKARA Wrestle Factory and knew his students needed a place to work and get more experience. Quackenbush is one of my all time favorite wrestlers as he blends styles from all over the world and that reflects in the styles of his students. And honestly Quackenbush is the one guy that that truly just wants to be an independent wrestler I don't think even ever worked a one time squash match for WWE,TNA, etc over his long career. And instead of starting just a normal wrestling promotion Quack blended elements from all over. Now sadly CHIKARA shut down for a while in 2013 but I'm thrilled to say its coming back in May of this year. Please everyone check out this new show go to CHIKARAPro.com and go to the event live if you can or buy the event on DVD or IPPV if they offer it. So I figured with the return coming why no look at some old CHIKARA shows.
As I said CHIKARA is very different from say ROH or CZW hell even the title of this show was inspired by well Batman and Robin. The Cibernetico is huge match CHIKARA would do one a year (like how WWE does the Rumble) you would take two teams of eight men. Put them in a batting order and unlike a normal match only the guy behind in the order could come in next. Wrestlers would be eliminated by pin, submission, DQ, or count out once an entire was eliminated the remaining members would fight it out for one winner. Usually the two teams would mix wrestlers that were feuding and the captains of the two teams would in a big feud. This year it was between veteran wrestlers Mitch Ryder and young Lince Dorado. Ryder would claim the young masked start was in the country illegally and was attempting to run him out Lince would recruit team made of Lucahdors from Mexico while Ryder would use his stable mates in the Kings of Wrestling. Now this DVD was done by Smart Mark Video a company that works with a lot of indy wrestling groups and like most Smart Mark productions commentary would rotate via who was the show and roster. Some times this was good other times it was bad.So is this event a classic or did they Joel Shcumacher this?
Brodie Lee vs Mike Stevens- Brodie you would know now as Luke Harper in the WWE he just changed his gimmick to more of a bad ass trucker from Lincoln Nebraska and he towered over most guys on the roster. Stevens was out of Toronto. Lee goes for a running big boot as the referee is checking Stevens the kick is ducked but the second one connects and drops Stevens. Lee stands on the hair and pulls Stevens up and than slams him by the hair. Huge chop Lee. Stevens hits a few punches but Lee fires back. Gut wrench suplex by Lee. Spear or Gore as commentator Bryce Reemsberg calls it by Stevens. Running big boot in the corner by Lee and than the running power bomb for the win by Lee. Decent opening squash it was al about getting Lee over as monster that could hurt people. While he did a lot of pretty standard moves he makes every one look good you buy it's doing a lot of damage.
Daizee Haze vs Candace Larae- Haze was one of the top females on the Independent scene at this time. Larae was out of PWG and you may remember for appearing in a squash to Gail Kim on TNA in 2013. Haze was a Rudo (heel) in CHIKARA while she worked as a face most other places. Larae goes for a single leg but Haze avoids it. Haze misses a punch and Larae gets a school girl for two. Botched O'Conner roll by Larae than an arm drag.Botch looking head scissors by Larae. Big show by Haze and than she tears at the yes and rams her boot in Larae's face. Haze goes for a funning forearm but misses. Arm ringer by Haze into a forearm gets two two.Snap suplex with a bridge for two by the Haze. VIctory roll by Larae gets two. Jaw breaker by Larae and a basement dropkick. Northern lights suplex by Haze gets two. Neckbreaker by Larae after she counters a suplex. Larae to the top but Haze cuts her off. Missile drop kick Larae and she misses by a freaking country mile. Haze blocks a sunset flip and holds the ropes for the win. Bad match as Lare messes up several moves. I don't know if she was to green, nervous, got hurt or what but part of me event think Haze just went "I'm done" and ended the match as soon as she could. Also because the botch was so botching was so bad the crowed turned on Larae and were cheering Daizee. I should not I've seen Larae have much better matches than this.
The order of the Neo Solar Temple UltraMantis Black and Hydra are talking with Bryce Reemsberg about something in the PWI 500. Mantis claims he will go after "Mr. Apter's empire." Bryce says Incoherence told him to sell the Temple they were sissies. Mantis was infuriated and spoke of the various things he would do to Incoherence and talked about how Incoherence had scored there first point on the Temple but not tonight. Good promo Mantis is so different in his promo style you have to just see it. To explain the points thing in CHIKARA to earn a shot at tag titles you had to win three matches in a row. If you lost a match you went back to zero. I love this concept because it made the CHIKARA the one company with a set way to get a title shot.
Incoherence Delirious and Hallowicked vs The Neo Solar Temple UltraMantis Black and Hydra- There is a back story here Wicked and Mantis were partners in the Dark Breed tag team. When Mantis was injured Wicked was paired with Delirious and turned Techino/Face. Mantis turned on Wicked and formed the temple with Hydra. Hydra's gimmick was he was sea monster he was also so funny since he was smaller than everyone in the locker room but always tried to act like a power house. Mantis and Wicked gimmick had both been based on begin into Dark Magic while well you know Delirious if you read my reviews. Hydra tires to rip the shirt but can't do it. Some comedy as Mantis winds up getting chopped by referee Bryce Remsberg as part of psyche up. Hydra and Delirious start us off. Hydra with a little posing to start and calls for a test of strength. Delirious uses it as a chance to stomp on Hydra's hand. Shoulder tackle by Delirious. Hydra tries for a drop down but just gets his other hand stomped. Hallowicked tags in. Incoherence attack the hand of Hydra and Wicked even hits a running Yakuza kick to it. Mantis goes to tag but than Hydra pulls back his hand not wanting it to get hurt anymore. Hydra goes to tag but than Mantis pulls his hand back. Finally Mantis tags in but this Hydra's bad hand. And this is funnier than it sounds here.Mantis with a single leg. Delirious catches the Yakuza and bites Mantis on the barefoot. Chops to the foot by Wicked and Delirious. Hydra in but Delirious tosses the foot into bad hand. Duel running dropkicks by Incoherence sends the Temple to the floor. Since CHIKARA uses Lucha rules its Hydra and Delirious who are legal when they get in the ring. Circle around and Mantis attacks when Delirious when his backed is turned Hydra bails out so Mantis is now legal. Mantis chokes Delirious. Suplex by Mantis than a few headbutts. Delirious hung in the tree of woe. Mantis whips Hydra into the corner for a drop kick. Hydra takes a second to pose but than allow Delirious to pick him up and toss him down. Tags exchange on both teams. Rana by Wicked than a sit out power bomb. Hydra tries to make a save by Wicked move so Mantis gets splashed on. Sledge hammer and a STO by Hydra. Delirious in and he attacks Hydra. Mantis attacks Delirious lizard man turns it into a rana. Panic attack by Delirious on Mantis. Hydra with a flying neck breaker on Delirious. Beautiful looking Yakuza by Hallowicked on Hydra for the win and a third point to earn a title shot. Great comedy match the spots there supposed to be funny were hilarious and when they had to wrestle they wrestled. Post match Incoherence celebrate there win and her cup coming title shot.
Tim Donst vs Mike Quackenbush- Pure Technico vs Technico match. Quackenbush was the founder and lead trainer at the CHIKARA wrestling school and Donst was the most recent student. Donst gimmick at this time was that he was a pure collegiate style wrestler even wearing the singlet, headgear and coming out to marching band song. He also just had his big breakout match vs Eddie Kingston where he took a massive beating but refused to stay down. Hand shake to start than lock up. Quack worker the arm and hits a judo throw. Greco roman throw by Donst but Quack gets a head scissors. Donst escapes and gets a head lock. Donst tries the up and over in the corner but Quack sees it coming stops and than arm drags the rookie down. Quack goes for a crucifix pin but Donst bridges so his shoulder don't hit the mat. Donst counters La Ma He Stall into a head lock. Back heel kick by Quackenbush. Snape mare than big kick by Quackenbush. Quack tries up the arms but Donst gets the ropes. Donst tries a single leg but Quackenbush blocks it. Modified bow and arrow by Quackenbush but Donst gets the ropes again. Quack grape vines the arm and twist the neck. Donst power back and gets near fall. Donst whipped into the ropes and Quackenbush goes for double knee but Donst moves. STO by Donst than a gator roll gets two. Palm Strike by Quackenbush than spiked inverted DDT. Running Palm Strike by Quack misses. German suplex with a bridge gets two for Donst. Donst sends Quack to the apron but the teacher fires a big head but to the chest. Sunset flip off the top gets one. Quack rolls through and locked in the CHIKARA Special for a submission win. Pretty awesome match. Donst was very raw here but he more the held his own and never appeared to be in over his head or lost. We actually got a pretty good story Donst had all the potential in the world he just wasn't experienced enough yet to stop his teacher.
Backstage the Oleson Twins Jimmy and Colin cut a promo. Colin talked about how Cheech and Cloudy beat them in there CHIKARA debut. Jimmy clammed there only two ways this match would end a DQ because they were beating there butts to much or a tap because they were beating there butts to much. I've seen worse promo but I've seen much better.
The Oleson Twins Jimmy and Colin vs Cheech and Cloudy- Colin under the name Colin Delaney had a brief run the WWE during the New ECW. Cheech and Cloudy had worked of ROH, CZW, IWA Mid South and various other companies. Jimmy and Cloudy starts us off. Arm ringer by Jimmy than into a hammer lock. Cloudy reveres into a head lock.

Cheech is finally recovering and climbs back on the apron. Colin with a neck between the top and second rope takes out Cheech again. Cloudy ducks the double team and Colin hits Jimmy. Cloudy with a missile drop kick. But Cheech isn't able to come in since he's still down. Jimmy with some chops on Cloudy. Over bomb by Jimmy. Inverted Rana by Cloudy out of no where. Cheech is up and the gag. Colin in as well. But Oleson's double team. Belly to suplex than STO by Cheech. Super kick and perfect plex on Colin. Cheech sent to the floor and Olson's force the tag brining in Cloudy. Cloudy ducks and the Oleson's collide. The Oleson's mess up again and hit each other with basement drop kicks. Power bomb neck breaker combo by the Oleson on Cloudy, Cheech dives in and hits Colin into Jimmy breaking up the pin. Cheech takes out Colin. Cheech with a power bomb as Cloudy hits a shinning wizard off the top for the. Very good match but Honestly I felt given the level of punishment Cheech and Cloudy took the Oleson's should have gone over or the match should have been more evenly balanced. Still a very good match. I would also like to note none these guys are giants or body builders but I would watch the four of them on TV or slugs like Ryback any day of the week.
Kris Chambers vs Super Xrtemo- Both guys were getting a look here But I don't think they were ever used again. Xtremo had a mask on Chambers kind of looked like a bigger Matt Jackson from the Young Bucks. Big chops by Chambers but a second one misses. Single leg by Xtremo than flying head scissors and a drop kick. Leg Lariat by Xtremo. Release German by Chambers gets two. Chambers goes after the eyes than hits a snap suplex for two.

Osi Moonsault by Xtremo. Cross body off the top by Xtremo but Chamber rolls through for two. Power by bomb Chambers. Step up Enziquri by Xtremo. Rana by Xtremo for the win. Chambers had his foot under the ropes witch is supposed to be a break but the ref missed and maybe Chambers didn't realize it. and didn't mov his foot. Ok match nothing to special.
ShanSaw of Shane Storm and Jigsaw got promo time. Jigsaw said tonight was night they got there third point and moved back to there goal of winning the titles. Shane pointed out they already had a title shot and lost. Jigsaw he couldn't have this attitude
The Osirian Portal Amasis and Ophidian vs ShaneSaw Jigsaw and Shane Storm- The Portal was making there debut as a team although the snake man of Ophidian had wrestled on a couple of cards and picked up win. Amasis gimmick is that he a pharaoh and likes to dance. Jigsaw has worked for ROH and been in TNA under the name Rubix. Storms was another masked man his gimmick being he was a road worker. Storm and Ophidian start us off. Hammer lock by Ophidian. Go behind by Storm but countered back to the Hammer lock. Headlock by Storm. Trip into a roll up by Orpidian than another roll up gets two.

ShaneSaw sets for the leap of faith but Amasis cuts off Jigsaw. Ophidian death grip on Storm and he is choked out for an upset victory. I think I could show this match with out the commentary and no one would guess the Portal was as green as they were. Really impressive stuff. Good story two with Jigsaw passing on chances to tag in Storm based on his growing lack of faith and than when Storm does get in he's the one that loses the fall.
Post Match the Portal celebrates there win as Reemsberg and Leonard F Chiakarason talk about how stunning the upset is. Jigsaw yells at Storm "You blew it. We gotta start all over again!" Backstage Storm says he can't believe it. Jigsaw says Storm lost it for them. Jigsaw says if they have start over again he might as well start with someone else. Good segment to break up ShaneSaw. Now if you don't watch CHIKARA you may not believe me but I am dead serious in saying that segment windup being one of the most important moments in CHIKARA history. See the break up of ShaneSaw plants a seed that leads to several story lines down the road. The Formation of the Unstable with both Storm and Equinox turing heel in the process. Tim Donst teaming with Hydra and the break up the Neo Solar Temple. The end of Incoherence and the arrival of BDK are all traced here. I don't know for sure if this was long term planning or just the way the stories fell but CHIKARA got more out one upset win than most companies get out of anything.
Blkout cut a promo. Joker ranted about having to face the Colony again and tonight they were going to break them. Sabian said last time they nearly killed Worker Ant. Kingston was upset that despite asking for Hallowicked he once again wasn't getting him. He said CHIKARA was holding him and friends down. Decent segment CHIKARA was banking on a big feud with Hallowicked and King so everything King did was about setting it up.
The Colony Fire Ant, Soldier Ant, and Worker Ant vs Blk Out Eddie Kingston, Joker, and Sabian- The Colony was one of those acts that only could have started in CHIKARA they were a team well giant ants but they pulled some amazing double and triple team moves. Blk Out was a stable out of CZW Kingston was the only one full time with CHIKARA and since he was a rudo at this time the rest of the stable was well. The Ants rush the ring and go right at Blkout and even took control. Double dives by Fire and Soldier. Joker press slams Worker back into the ring. Worker withT a headlock on Sabian but Joker takes his head off with a massive lariat. Nice looking dropkick by Sabian and he ties Worker up so Joker can slap him.

Top rope leg drop by Sabian on Solder only gets two. Blk Out goes for some type of charging triple team but each member of the Colony trips a member of Blk Out. Fire with a Frog Splash, Moonsault by Worker, and Saluting head but from the top on Kingston. Ants Go Marching on Sabiaian and than triple team drop kick. Fire with a Kryptonite Crunch on Joker for the win. The feud Blk Out was the start of the Colony moving from underdog mid card act to eventual top team in the company. It gave them some big wins and showed they could hang with tougher names. Pretty good match but some rough stuff from Joker and I'm just not a fan of Kingston as I find his matches pretty boring.
Backstage Mitch Ryder created his team made of us his King of Wrestling team stable mates. In other promotions the Kings were usually just Hero and Castagnoli but in CHIKARA it was a stable and by this point it had grown eight members. The Kings started about all the various the bonus gifts they had gotten for this match. Hero was confused since he hadn't gotten anything. It was explained to Hero and us watching the DVD that some kind of hang up with the paper work had allowed them to get favors from CHIKARA Director of Fun Leonard F Chiakarason. Hero asked everyone what they got including his tag team partner Claudio Castagnoli who walked off smiling with out saying anything. Its a decent segment but it is key in CHIKARA history. See as I explained in a previous review Claudio had gotten a WWE deal in late 2006. CHIKARA than had Hero turn on Claudio in what was set to be his Double C's last show. But when the offer was pulled he returned in 2007 and had a match with Hero with the stipulation being that is Hero won Claudio had to follow his order without question. So using this chance Claudio was able to free himself from Hero's control turn Techino and have a big match with him again down the road.
