I've heard from a lot of people that they've improved since they last appeared in Chikara.

Maybe Chikara is giving them a second shot as it furthers a big storyline (that Wink is inept and clueless)

Besides they have a lot of awesome teams in the tourney already so this one team won't mess it up too bad.
 
#660 ·
Barn owl, Assasian, and Pistol stunk the joint out at KOT 09 but have improved tremendously since then. Brainwashed is underrated wrestler who teams with the trio from time to time and is also a member of the sex bobombs.
 
#666 ·
It's up to Chikara and Osaka Pro to sort that out and as mentioned, he was injured.

Also, despite it becoming a tradition for the Cup to be defended throughout the intervening 12 months, it does not always have to be like that, we've just got used to it.

It's not a title in the same sense that many seem to think it is.
 
#667 · (Edited)
I'm up for discussing some former Chikara wrestlers, maybe they're retired, maybe not, but what are the following people doing with their lives?:

Worker Ant
Shane Storm/Stigma
Hydra
Jimmy Olsen/Colin Olsen-Delaney

I only know of what Vin Gerard is doing thanks to his facebook/twitter, and for those who wonder what our favorite scumbag is doing then I can tell you that he has entered entrepreneurship and created a mobile app for Android & iPhone about nightlife called SnipStamp.
And he's also helping "promote" bowling I guess he's challenge bowlers to a Bowling de Apuesta match ;P it's pretty funny (at least in my eyes but I'm probably the only Vin Gerard fan in the world)


Oh and 3.0 want's their 3rd point, they don't want no trios or atomico matches, they want a freaking tag match Wink!

Watching the latest shows from chikara post their iPPV (thanks to SMV's digital media download so I don't have to wait 20-30 frigging days for dvd's to turn up in the mail) and it's just so great, Mysterious & Handsome Stranger character is so awesome, and everyone is playing along "We don't know you" chant was started in his match with Icarus, Winks Chikarabremetics fucking everything up as it seems none of the teams he's creating doesn't work as everyone hates each other, and Swarm with Colony member/Colony with Swarm member looks promising as I see it in those little pre-match promos they do, Swarm really try to humiliate and show Soldier that he is on their team now and that he has to do what they say, I'm looking forward to it, KOT can almost only end up with Swarm/Soldier Ant vs Colony/AssailANT and Heart Throbs & Young Bucks needs to happen more often!

Also, just throwing this out there, how far has Chikara come in these years, I mean look back to 2010 for a second, think back to all that stuff with the BDK, would you imagine:
1. Chikara getting a grand championship
2. The Young Bucks being Campeonatos de Parejas
3. A group of pretty much bizarro Chikara wrestlers coming into the company

I don't think anyone could imagine those things happen 2 years ago, in my humble opinion I don't think 2 years in a company is changing a lot, sure a couple of new wrestlers makes their debut some new faces in title contention but nothing that really blows my mind, but Chikara, they always find a way to surprise me, either with teams I'd never imagine at KOT or something like a team I'd only think would be guest stars in the company and never really doing anything in the company going to win the Campeonatos de Parejas.

Results for Ring Of Wax:

1. The Batiri d. The Swarm and Soldier Ant, that makes Wink's dream team 0-4 heading into King of Trios

2. Tim Donst d. Saturyne at 5:36 via From Dusk Till Donst, was called a massacre. Donst looks like hes sick of losing...

3. The Mysterious and Handsome Stranger d. Lancelot Bravado at 11:55 via Spinning Toe Hold

4. 17 and Shard d. Quack and Jigsaw at 9:36 via Quack getting DQ'ed for excessive violence after hitting 17 with repeated Quackendrivers. Jigsaw asked if violence was necessary, Quack looked in no mood to discuss that.

Intermission

5. Ultramantis Black and Frightmare d. Cannon & Corbin at 8:18, more slow motion was reported

6. Eddie Kingston d. Harlem Bravado at 16:41. Said the match was very fun and alot of crowd involvement

7. The Colony and 3.0 d. F.I.S.T. (Taylor and Icarus due to a death in Gargano's family), Sugar and Ophidian at 22:02. I heard there was a GRENADE sighting!

8. Mr. Touchdown d. ACH at 26:14. Said to be an incredible match, Touchdown is now the 10th YLC Champion.
 
#674 ·
Okay I think I need to see that ACH vs. Touchdown match.

Next I would like to mention how my excitement for KOT12 went from "should be fun" to "STOKED". Weird how one match can do that. Kingston for Tadasuke has got me amped. Just throws a real good match into an event full of fun wrestlers.

As far as the actual teams go I don't think it looks as good on paper as last year to me but last year had Team Dragon Gate, a better quality Team Osaka Pro, Team M-Pro,and it had El Generico so that would be hard to top. I can't say I am thrilled that they let 3 teams pretty much be throw aways with the ants and the Submission Squad. But if the older wrestlers show up in really good shape I think I could be extremely pleasantly surprised(I'm looking at you Montoya). I am assuming RDV will be back and it will be interesting to see what they do with it. I'm kinda hoping they bring in a couple of guys just for RDV. Should be a wicked fun weekend no matter what.

Was at 'Ring of Wax' and is honestly the first full CHIKARA show I've ever seen. I knew it was goofy and off-the-wall and I figured it was gonna over do it but the entire night was incredible.

And I highly advise everyone to watch the ACH/Mr. Touchdown match. Holy hell was that incredible. A MOTY contender, IMO.

Also, Chuck Taylor couldn't keep a straight face for the life of him last night. I don't know if that's an every match occurrence for him or what but he was losing it on the stage in the early part of the match. After that match I was asking for a high five and he kicked my hand out of his face. Then as 3.0 left the ring, Shane Matthews stole my Royal Rumble hat and put it on right quick before tossing it back to me only for him and Scott Parker to challenge each other after the show.

Great times were had.

Also, I was really impressed with the babyfaces being out by exit thanking us for coming to the show. A true classy company. I'm definitely going to follow them a lot closer.
 
#676 ·
i was at last night show also.
i was truly blown away.
the ACH/touchdown match is worthy of a purchase alone.
The Colony and 3.0 and F.I.S.T. lots of corpsing going on
i was shocked by the bump taken by shard in his match. worthy of the holy poo chant i started.
I will be buying this event when it becomes available.
best 20 dollars i have spent on wrestling in a long time. this event totally blew away the west lafayette.
after sitting through smackdown earlier this mouth ring of wax completely blew it away.
 
#679 ·
I'm going with The Batiri to go through 3.0/Akuma, 3.0 will probably be in the tag gauntlet on Night 3.

And according to Derek Sabato's blog post today Quack ended 17's career by hitting him with all four Quackendrivers in a row.
 
#680 ·
Man do I wish that was Generico with 3.0

No problem with that match I guess. I'm really hoping they put the Joshi teams against each other. Also Cabana/Classic and Kikutaro need to wrestle against each other.

I also wonder if the plan on having Swarm/Colony in the first round or save if for Night 2 or even 3.

Last request I have is F.I.S.T. vs. Faces of Pain
