It seems like Kingston is more of a tweener right now. It all depends who is opponent is I suppose. When I was watching his match against Dasher Hatfield he was acting awfully heel in that ring.

As far as Toyota, Quack, and Jig are concerned I like the team. I liked them last year and they are just flat out good. I'm not sure if I'm as jazzed to see them as I was last year but they might be the team I'm most excited to see live come September as of right now of course.

I tend to read to far into things so I'm going to do it again here. When they were talking about this team on twitter they said that Toyota is "the greatest female wrestler of all-time". Now there is no problem with CHIKARA saying that because she might just be that. This might be wishful thinking but last year when they were announcing JoshiMania they had video where they said they were bringing in "The Queen of Joshi" and they were showing Toyota but then the video fades and we see Aja Kong saying that she truly represents Joshi and is the best. I'm hoping they bring in Aja for this tournament is what I'm trying to say. She wants to prove she is the best and comes it for KOT. Who would she team with? A team that wouldn't make me pumped but would make the most sense would be Aja, 17, and The Shard. it would kinda be the polar opposite of Toyota's team.

Come on, really? Someone needs to brush up on their Dungeon of Doom members. Well I don't think The Warlord was in the Dungeon of Doom.

All 3 were also in WWE in the late 80s/Early 90s I believe. Meng even had a run with WWE as late as 2001 I think. Maybe you'll know him under the name Haku.

I just wonder who those guys are going to wrestle in the first round.

Wink Vavasseur blog time, adressing some issues with past blogs

7/18/2012: Hello CHIKARA blog readers!
It's your Director of Fun here, Wink Vavasseur, just popping in for a quick post responding to some concerns, comments and criticisms that have been directed towards me recently. Just a reminder, wrestlers and staff, the comment boxes I've had installed in all the locker rooms are fully operational and my inbox is always open; there's no need for us to be metaphorically airing out our laundry in such a public forum.

Sugar,
There were a few statements you made in your most recent blog that really stood out to me, namely that the "stats don't lie" and that the numbers clearly show that you are a team player. You are absolutely right. You are a "team player" in the truest sense: while your solo averages are less than stellar, you excel at positively affecting the dynamic of a group. The fact that you recognize this, I take that as a vote of confidence in the CHIKARAbermetrics program. I'm glad some people are starting to see both the forest AND the trees! Don't worry, Sugar, I didn't get you twisted. Since you are such a team player, I'll take it upon myself to set you up with a team. Let me run my numbers and get back to you.

Greenie,
You asked me how I can expect the reconstituted Swarm to gel and come together as they should at King of Trios? Well, duh! Obviously, I don't expect the team to gel immediately! The '02 Oakland A's didn't have their 20-game winning streak right at the beginning of the season, did they? They needed time to acclimate and grow into a cohesive unit. That's why I'm going to put Soldier Ant, deviANT and combatANT into as many matches as I can before KOT. They'll be a well-oiled machine by the time they get to the big stage!

Leonard,
First, let me say that I appreciate your opinion. Despite the fact it's coming from someone who could graciously be described as a glorified ticket-taker, I could never discount your opinion. I would never do that because, in CHIKARA, everyone's opinion is respected, even yours. And you know what they say about opinions: everybody's got one...

Here's the thing, though. I take kindly to a lot of things in this world. There's a long, long list of things in this world I take kindly towards. However, it would be an understatement to say I don't take too kindly to accusations that I'm not doing my job correctly, implications that I don't know what I'm doing. You say I should be able to appreciate "something as simple as 'three points'"? Oh, Lenny. Lenny, Lenny, Lenny... Condescension like this reminds me of how father used to talk to me. Ol' Connie V. always thought of me as some kind of dumb dummy, talking down to me like this. Well, if I bristled at that kind of talk from a man with the social and business pedigree of a Conrad Vavasseur, just imagine how I'm going to accept it coming from a lowly play-by-play announcer. I won't stand for it! Nothing, Leonard, nothing can undo the damage that your words have done.

So, you have a problem with the way I'm stewarding the Grand Championship? Frankly, your denials aside, it sounds a lot like Mr. Kingston is afraid to defend his title, and the two of you are trying to come up with some sort of technicality to make it easier for him to hold onto that belt. It sounds an awful lot like collusion to me. But of course, I would never make that kind of accusation, least of all in a public forum such as this...

With a wink,
WiNK
Oh he did NOT just imply that Kingston is afraid of defending the title.
