Here are some more details to fill in what happened yesterday…

John Philapavage Reporting
I could write you a report about the youthful mistakes and judgments of the wrestlers at the three Chikara shows this past weekend. I could write about the sameness and formula of some matches. There are all kinds of ways to pick at a promotion and talents, and we [...]

Note: I’ve removed the makeshift results Brian Streleckis texted in and replaced it with Brian’s report on the show. I feel Brian’s thoughts and live report are a little more important than my crude results post.
I stayed behind at the arena Sunday night to watch WWE Judgment Day, which they were showing on their screens [...]

Brian Streleckis gives the skinny on more Chikara craziness and general awesomeness from their latest Philadelphia show in the New Alhambra, featuring Chikara regulars matched up against some special guest stars. Somebody should have “manned up.”

Notable events included: Mike Quackenbush defeating Chris Hero by submission in their long-in-the-making main [...]
Where as John attended his first Chikara show last month, I had the pleasure of attending my seventh. Mike Quackenbush’s crazy lucha-based promotion has been running shows in the ECW Arena in South Philadelphia since August ‘05 and I’ve attended all of them. This latest one was entitled “Rey De Voladores,” or “King [...]
For Christmas when I was eight-years old I got a walkman, back when tapes were still king and CD’s were this awesome technology only my friend’s rich father had. Unfortunately, my aunt bought me a walkman that said “My First Sony” on the front. While this wasn’t so bad at eight, [...]
