CHIKARA Season 12 Thread!

[Castiel]

This first post will be continuously updated with the next shows card...

[EVENING SHOW]

THE EXCITING CONCLUSION TO TAG WORLD GRAND PRIX TOURNAMENT!

GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE!

​

 

[Postman Dave]

Archie vs. Touchdown? Yes!

Who's the fifth man in that poster?

 

[Castiel]

Good question. The others seem to be the members of GEKIDO and with 17 and CombatANT gone this seems like it has to be a mystery... either that or we're bad at picking up on things already this season.

 

[Postman Dave]

It's all part of the CHIKARA fun!

Also, I hear Amasis is definitely back in wrestling.

 

[Castiel]

Phenomenal! I wonder if they'll make his return against Ophidian first thing?

On another note, in preparation for season 12 Chikara has updated their roster page! It is no longer divided into Rudos and Technicos, the lines have been blurred since CHIKARAmetrics so this works. The Devastation Corporation is already on there but the Campeonatos de Parejas still are not!

 

[Postman Dave]

Just noticed that CHIKARA will be holding events in California in late 2013, most notably one in Resada.

 

[Postman Dave]

The final Kingston vs. Steen match is set!

 

[Castiel]

OP updated with the line up for the first two shows.

While The Dawn Is Breaking looks phenomenal! CdP and YLC on the line! Plus Kingston vs Steen which doesn't seem to be for the Grand Championship but it's still awesome! Sadly they're advertising it as "the final confrontation", hopefully that doesn't mean Steen is done with his Chikara appearances. Also, Donst vs Archie! Two of the best in the world!

 

[Postman Dave]

I still find the YB teaming with Steen weird.

I imagine this probably is it for Steen for now. Maybe a KOT appearance in the future though.

Kingston/Green should be badass.

 

[Castiel]

Really pumped for that match too, I love Green Ant and was disappointed when his singles run came to halt due to the whole Swarm things last season. I've accepted Steen teaming with the Bucks but man it's hard not to find it weird when you're also a PWG fan!

 

[Castiel]

Frightmare vs Ophidian and Dasher vs Delerious added to the first show. Also, Touchdown vs Archie will be no DQ! Dasher vs Kobald added to the second show, I guess he's not a fan of The Batiri.

[Postman Dave]

Sorta surprised Delirious is sticking around.

Frightmare vs. Ophidian could be really good.

 

[Castiel]

I was surprised at the Delirious match being announced too, especially since singles action seems to be pretty rare for him nowadays.

 

[Postman Dave]

NO DQ match: Archibald Peck beat "Mr. Touchdown" Mark Angelosetti

PWPonderings

Some issues ended, some started as CHIKARA seems to be setting up 2013 quite nicely.

So, Green Ant decides to have another big first match of the year following his win over Quack last year. I sorta wish this CHIKARAbermetrics thing would go somewhere soon though.

 

[Postman Dave]

3.0 HAVE RETURNED TO THE PROMISE LAND!

Soldier Ant's new angle could be very interesting. Also, Green Ant vs. Eddie for the belt is fantastic. Green Ant really stepping it up this weekend.
