I’ve always been aware, but never paid much attention other than many years back when the Kings of Wrestling and Larry Sweeney were running wild. I'd like to submit that the rise and fall of Bruderschaft de Kruzes (I've prob misspelled that) is really good. And pretty much any King of Trios card is solid, with my favorite being the year that hosted the return of the original 1-2-3 Kid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately, they've had what looks like a pretty interesting storyline, where the training camp was being used by Ophidian (My Daughter's Favorite Wrestler tm) as an underground fight club to train Chikara's protectors. I've been reading it as it's been happening and it looks good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been reading it as it's been happening and it looks good. It’s been pretty buckwild actually. They actually did a bunch of videos of them having shoot-style matches. It’s been fascinating, probably the most so that Chikara’s been since the closure angle. Though I wonder what will happen now that Bryce and Orange Cassidy (who may or may not also be Fire Ant) are going to Jacksonville.

It completely blew my mind though thinking back to him it makes perfect sense that he was under the mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryArchieGus Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 @Super Ape @nate how does one follow the current Chikara promotion ongoings? I hope they aren’t still in DVD distro mode like the Guerrilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB-13 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Finding new hobbies is another option. Let it consume your life too much and it's easy to get dragged down by the negatives. Take it from someone who made that mistake. Edited August 13, 2019 by PB-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. I was kind of in a lull with my wrestling fandom since Omega left NJPW but getting into D&D has given me a spark in general as well as appreciating wrestling in slightly smaller doses. I think I'll just focus on AEW, NJPW, Stardom, and the bigger matches from smaller promotions rather than trying to watch everything and getting burned out all the time.

Curt McGirt Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Between the Wrestling Not from the Now thread and the 2019 Wrestling threads on this very board I don't see why anybody has to go signing up or looking for jack shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly true, but it feels right supporting a product of such high quality as NJPW. I say make a contribution to deserving products. It’s kind of important, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 If you feel so obligated. Just saying, whether you do or you don't, there's more than enough free awesome stuff floating around to more than keep you occupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a monstrous difference between following a promotion (or watching swaths of it at a time) i.e. watching complete shows, and appreciating random matches. One can do both, of course, as well. - RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Just heard, and saw Bray Wyatt’s new entrance. It’s like a live KoRn music video. I don’t know if I’d consider that a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can go on runs of homebrewing or playing golf. Pulling out VHS from the boxes in my basement can get me back into wrestling. Something labeled as Mexico #87 or GAEA 2001 where I don't know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also needs to not loose almost ever without a good reason desperately for this to work. I just don’t care for the late 90’s metal version of his theme. For one, I’m not big into the late 90’s metal band scene, and two, it sounds like a metal version of a song on Apple Music you want to hear, but the official song isn’t on there due to rights issues, so you have settle for little Johnny’s garage band version of King Arthur & The Knights of Justice.

DJ Hero Morganti Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I actually thought Bray's new theme was Lacuna Coil at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
