Man, that King/Lee match for the Grand Title was awesome. They beat the shit ouf of each other. ***3/4 I love how King is all serious and the undercard is mostly comedic.

SO, Ophidian is still trying to transform and has taken a liking to UMBs staff, what he likes to call the "catalyst" and believes that it is the key to his next transformation, Mantis is still getting pestered by Delirious, a thing that (as far as Delirious is saying) will go on for the next 2 years, can Delirious have something to do with Ophidian stealing the staff? anyhow, these two collide on 6.2.12 at Chikarasaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur

OK I guess I'll post the first clue.

The Echo of Syd.

It's worth noting that the backround of the phase 2 page consists of villains from the original Batman tv series, and every Chikara show this season has been named after one of the episodes.

Also this whole Mysterium thing has been heavily Pink floyd orientated so it's safe to say the clue is referring to Syd Barrett.

I haven't had time to work on phase 2 yet but I'll keep you guys posted on my progress when I do get around to it.

Any help is welcome.

Sorry it took so long for me to respond, I've been a bit busy.

I've already looked into him being a pioneer in the use of echo in rock but I can't find any way to connect it to Chikara.

I've also looked into any connection with both the Floyd song and compilation entitled "echoes", but still nothing.

Some pretty far fetched ideas I had in relation to the batman stuff. Syd was known as Madcap by some and had a solo album called The Madcap laughs. I suppose you could make a loose connection with The Mad Hatter from Batman. Also I know there was a Batman character in the comics called echo but I realise thats even more out there.

But yeh, these are just random thoughts at the moment until I have time to really give this a go. For the brief time I have spent on it though, I've come up with nothing substantial.

Delirious confirms he'll join Donst & Jakob as a team for Night 2 of Aniversario against The Swarm, Batiri and The Spectral Envoy.

Main event for the ppv looks alright, guess it confirms that either Mr. Zero or Dragonfly is going to be put out by 17 this weekend.

Notes - Three tall fellows in black suits and sunglasses are wandering around in Condor Security shirts. They were the three who were with Wink when he took Wicked’s cup.

King Of Trios will be held in Easton. During the announcement the cameras were turned off, everyone from Chikara came out for a group photo and everyone in attendance received a piece of the mat from KOT 2011.

After Gekido/1st Term match Donst & Hallowicked got in a brawl which resulted in the ippv match now being a Mask vs. Hair match.


1. Dasher Hatfield beat Ophidian via roll-up.

2. The Batiri & The BDK over Crossbones, Lance Steel, Jolly Roger, Rorschach & Shane Storm via Demon's Toilet on Lance Steel.

3. Satomura/Kagetsu over Sachiko/Chisako in the Sendai Tag.

4. MMA Challenge - Darkness Crabtree over Mixed Martial Archie via judges decision despite Darkness getting pounded. The three judges were Jervis Cottonbelly, Steve "The Turtle" Weiner and The Swamp Monster. Archie beats up Cottonbelly & Turtle, but Swamp Monster sends Archie packing.

5. Gekido over First-Term Class via submission by 17 onto Dragonfly. All the First-Term Class were wearing their old gear except for UltraMantis Black.

6. Colt Cabana over Mr. Touchdown. Part comedy, part wrestling.

7. Team Jigsaw over Team Kingston in the Atomico Increible main event via 2nd rope Brainbuster.

And the covers for this weekend's shows are already out:

As a guy who hears alot of good things about Chikara but has yet to actually pull the trigger on buying a DVD...

What storylines are going on in the promotion right now?

Has the champ defended his title yet or is that gonna be a once a year thing like in mexico?
 
#392 ·
I started watching Chikara last year and the first shows I bought were the king of trios shows. I think they are a great introduction to the product and showcase the majority of their talent and style. I would suggest starting there or any of the compilation DVDS. I think someone already summed up the current story lines in this thread so i would also read that if you want to get caught up for the current product.

Their website Chikarapro.com is constantly updated with videos and blogs to keep their story lines going, so you can check that out too. Chikara is not everybody's cup of tea but they are definitely my favorite promotion currently so any wrestling fan should at least check them out.
