maciej Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I know CHIKARA isn't generally this board's thing (or at least it doesn't seem to be in my brief experience), but I went down to Philly for the show last weekend (well, for the show, and to visit friends, and to eat and drink a lot of things) and man oh man was that a good time. It's not that I don't love the crowds at Evolve shows up here in NYC, I do, but it was just very pleasant and fun to be at a show without any drunk dudes trying to get themselves over and with the crowd being encouraged to participate, but then participating in a way that made everyone feel welcome. The wrestling was fun too, with a happy Infinity Gauntlet and a really fun title match between Juan Francisco de Coronado and Oleg the Usurper. They had a good sneaky, technical heel vs. big, dumb face match that had an ending that was both insanely silly and totally made sense in CHIKARA logic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maciej Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Oh, actually, while I'm in this thread, Tier 1 in Brooklyn is running Matt Riddle vs. Homicide in June (or at least I think they are; it's still in the Facebook event description but I can't seem to find that specific match announcement on Twitter anymore). Also, Low-Ki, Penta, and Jordynne Grace/Lufisto. I haven't been to one of their shows ever, but it seems worth the trip down to Sunset Park.

Marty Sugar Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Speaking of Matt Riddle, did anyone see this article recently about him being double-booked with PWG and HOH? http://www.fightful.com/exclusive-matt-riddle-talks-being-double-booked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewar Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The Chikara love seemed to fade away after the year-long shutdown and the 95 page manual to understand what was going on. There's still people around here who watch the shows, but discussion is very low. Edit: I searched and found the 2014 thread where people were coming up with dream KOT teams and names. It was tremendous! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Austin Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Cody Rhodes also had some input on the Bullet Proof shows, as far so know there BP brand just started and ran only like 2-3 shows before they closed. According to this Georgia news sure, the closing stems from an incident backstage at a WM show last year that they thought was settled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I am surprised they had one show run let alone three. While it's not blatantly ripping off Bullet Club there was enough where it's no surprise somebody would take issue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Sad night at NOVA Pro as Beau Crockett turned on his partner Innocent Isiah and destroyed Cutie and Beast after existing for basically the entire existence of the company. He joined the Carnies helping them win in a street fight Really fun show. I would recommend watching Fred Yehi vs Jonathan Gresham because I believe it was the best match in the company's history. Maybe I am enjoyed it too much. Also thought Chip Day vs Tim Donst & Jordyn Grace vs Angelus Layne was great matches. Jimmy Rave vs Sonjay Dutt had a really weird ending that makes you think someone went into business for themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 DEFY wrestling really wants to get my money. May 26th: John Morrison vs Shane Strickland (also on the card Taya, Moose, Lio Rush, Joey Ryan, Davey Richards) June 29th Cody Rhodes vs Pentagon Dark June 30th ReDragon vs Lucha Bros (Pentagon/Fenix) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I don't know what good juju Defy has to get shows like that, but if I was anywhere near Seattle I'd go in a heartbeat. Hopefully they managed to get you to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'm going to the DEFY show on Friday haven't bought my June tickets yet but I plan on going. The June 29th show is a Thursday and Defys debut in Tacoma at the Temple Theater which is a closer drive for me then Washington Hall up in Seattle so I'll be going to the 29th show in all likelyhood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say this with all honesty: DEFY is booking matches that I would want to see as a wrestling fan. Mike Santiago vs. Moose is intriguing and I don't just say that because Santiago's one of my best friends in the biz. There's also Project 42 in the Seattle area, but DEFY is running more regularly. But definitely check out P42 - I believe the next show is August 5th. I'll be there, but don't let that stop you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
