For those who don't know who that man is, it looks to be the newest look of a man known simply as Blind Rage. Heres my knowledge on such. I've always enjoyed Blind Rage. He technically isn't a graduate of the Chikara Wrestle Factory because he had been a student of Quacks from before the Chikara days and was fully trained by the time Chikara started. The main heel of the early days of the promotion if you look at the very first two shows honestly. I believe he was the only student who got any mic time on those first shows. Altogether hes good on the mic and in the ring. Him and Hallowicked won the first Tag World in 04 and at that point they were probably the best wrestlers in the promotion not named Quackenbush. One thing about blind rage is he has been known to dissapear for long periods of time. I've somewhat described to you the first run with Wicked and Icarus as Night Shift. Then he was gone. When he returned he was pink haired and with Mantis. Had a good showing in those few months and in whatever Cibernetico he had that pink hair in. 2005? Anyways he might've dissapeared once more before popping up again in the Order Of the Neo Solar Temple as the resurrected Zombie of Blind Rage. I don't know its all fuzzy around there for me. Hydra dancing like snoopy and such. Anyways he looks insane in that photo, and i'm interested to see what that glam punk fool looks like now. I've always wondered where he had went off to because he was honestly one of the better wrestlers in the early days. Didn't hurt he was a year or two ahead of all the young Wrestle Factory guys. BTW anyone feel free to correct me on any of these specifics as i'm going by mostly what I remember.

Okay, this is the first time I've ventured in to this section of the forum and I watch this...



and think to myself, what the fuck did I just watch, as I laughed my ass off. What just happened to me?
 
#1,051 ·
^ Do you follow much outside of WWE and/or TNA? If not, then you need to check out more of the Indy scene. There's so much more freedom for wrestlers to do moves and characters they otherwise couldn't. Some promotions are hilarious (CHIKARA), while others just offer real solid wrestling.

The international stuff is awesome too. Lucha is different, and kind of an acquired taste and then there's the whole Puro deal, which, depending on what style of wrestling you like, pretty well kills much of what we see on television here.

I do watch random indy/Japan matches on Youtube when I find time. I looked up some of El Generico's matches as well as Samuray Del Sol to name a couple. Usually when there's a wrestler that pique's my interest I'll check 'em out. Currently I've been hearing about Kevin Steen and plan to watch some of his matches. Seeing as some really talented wrestlers have come from ROH, I'd like to start watching it a bit more.

My brother Preatorian Guard did one of his first signatures on Kingston, we both didn't know who the hell he was when he picked up the request. That's a good promo.



Second signature he ever made, not bad.

That's the beauty of Chikara. Embrace it.

JoshiMania was really only a one time thing. They even dubbed it "once in a lifetime" or something of that sort. I'd love to have it back.
If you guys know of any Chikara matches that are on Youtube you'd like to recommend, have at it.
 
#1,059 ·
im sure its been brought up in this thread before, but am i the only one that wishes Chikara had its own cable show. I really love how the company is storyline based, which is sorely lacking everywhere else. Plus they put on incredible matches and their roster is almost all in house. I know they are doing well now, but its so hard to keep up with it when you are broke and can't afford the dvd's and only find links every so often
 
#1,060 ·
I'm sure if they had a financial backer they would attempt to be on TV/gain an audience that way. Unfortunately they don't. Plight of the Independent promotion. Stick with downloading then if you can't purchase shows. I know it doesn't help out the promotion when you think about it, although you're keeping up either way.

Banner is stellar.

As for matches on youtube, subscribe to their channel (CHIKARAoffice) then take a perusing session. They have uploaded quite a bit of matches via their Podcast-a-Go-Go videos that give you a good taste of the product. I know Sara Del Rey vs Toshie Uematsu is up on there. GREAT 9 minute joshi match.



There you go. WATCH~
 
#1,063 · (Edited)
Watched it, that's the first time in a while that I've been entertained by a women's match. Sara Del Rey is a beast, dat Royal Butterfly Suplex. Isn't she signed with WWE as a trainer?



That shirt is Boss.

EDIT: Got damn, these guys are amazing, their tag combo finisher is ridiculous...

Good to know you enjoyed it.

Yep. Trainer for the divas atm. Which is too bad since it pulls her away from the Indies/Chikara.

Ah, yes. The Young Bucks. They are a phenomenal pair. Search any and all that you can find. Always worth a watch. They're awesome in the true sense of the word.
 
#1,068 ·
Chikara still has tickets available on their website. I actually just ordered one. I'm just going to make sure I print out the paypal receipt in case they don't have a ticket ready for me. Bring some ID as well just in case. I'm pumped for the show but it sucks that I didn't get my Chikara Army card in the mail in time. I split it with someone over the summer and he had possession of the card and I waited too long to ask him to mail it :( Should be an awesome show.
 
#1,070 ·
It was pretty awesome. Night 1 wasn't anything too amazing but Nights 2 and 3 were incredible. They had a lot of storylines going on within the tournament that made this really interesting. You had the Swarm/Colony stuff, Jigsaw/Quack issues, the Sendai girls being awesome underdogs, the ROH/Chikara rivalry, and Batiri/Envoy all thrown into the tournament. Throw in the funniest match I've ever seen, and awesome Kingston title defense, a great Joshi tag match, and some other fun stuff and you have a pretty great weekend.

^^^^Thanks!

Wish I had time today before the iPPV to check out out some of the KOT weekend or Cibernetico, just to feel a little more caught up but I'll have to catch up post Season Finale...ah well.

Who else is watching this live on iPPV this afternoon/tonight? What's everyone most excited for?

Bucks have been on fire lately IMO and I've never seen ACH before, so those two matches have my attention and storyline wise the Colony/Quack vs Jig/Shard/Ants has a ton of potential. I love Kingston but ring work wise, some of his matches leave me wanting more, hopefully the fact that it's Donst will make this special..

Also, would love to see something completely unexpected go down storyline wise tonight.
