‘Twas a nice sunny day following the threats of Tropical Storm Hannah, so Brian Streleckis skipped off with a whistle on his merry way to the City of Brotherly Love for some wholesome Chikara goodness… and witnessed a scary faction come to fruition and Brodie Lee bleed all over himself.
Match # 103: Buzz Sawyer vs. Dr. Death (1/28/86)
Buzz is such a heel he yells on the mic like a stereotypical wrestler, and then complains of hair pulls when they first lock up.
The early head lock stuff is awesome. Anyone who reads my reviews knows I’m a sucker for a good head lock with [...]
Brian Streleckis braves severe thunderstorms and threats of tornados (seriously, they were talking about them on the local news) to attend Chikara’s latest show from Philadelphia and relay to all the big news and other happenings.
A little late (my fault), but we are getting live results from the great CHRON corespondent Steven Ho.
1.) Briscoes over Hagadorn & Pearce with Doomsday Device on Hagadorn. Pearce played comedy heel throughout the match and Shane Hagadorn took a beating.
4.7.07 Chris Hero vs Eddie Kingston (CZW – Loser Leaves Town match)
I cannot believe that I of all people am telling you to steal a match from CZW. First off, I’ve gone through my hardcore period with the original ECW and burned out on it. Second, I became more of a purist a few [...]
-5.6.06 NWA-VA Sean Denny vs Damian Wayne
This match was on a best of 2006 collection I’ve had sitting around. It may be the only truly indy – indy match on the set, so I thought I’d take a look. You may remember I’d done some writing on Damian and Denny before they debuted in ROH [...]
We’re back, sooner than later, with another podcast about the indies. This time it’s Chikara and their Young Lion’s Cup. Brian Streleckis and John Philapavage run down the three show weekend with John’s live report and Brian’s inquiring mind. All the info you need is here so if you are a hardcore Chikara fan, or [...]
Everything you wanted to know about PWG, but were afraid to ask! Think DDT 4 was the fourth tourney. John wasn’t sure. Brian answers. Need to know about the first DVD release of the year? John DOES know how to help you out with that. We’ve also got current results and conversations on the promotion, [...]
Chikara: YLC Night 3
6.15.08
Hellertown, PA
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 [...]
We’re back with our continuing coverage of Young Lions Cup VI.
(Johnny P NOTE: Night one write up is finally all done. Check it out. Night One is here)
The show opened with an angle (right in front of John) where Vin Gerard attacked Worker Ant (who was scheduled to wrestle Chip Day tonight) and injured his [...]
Johnny P is in Hellertown attending Night 1 of Chikara’s annual tournament and will be sending in results throughout the show. (Johnny P. EDIT: I’ll put my comments in Italics after every match)
ROH President Cary Silkin is in the crowd. John asked him about Bryan Danielson’s situation and Silkin said something to the effect [...]
It’s all Chikara, practically all show long! The better studied Johnny P. and the always knowledgeable Brian Streleckis talk up and down all the results of Chikara’s four May shows. We get a mini-preview of the Young Lion’s Cup and a dueling live perspective/DVD review for the season opening event, “Two Eyebrows are better than [...]
John Philapavage and Brian Streleckis present the first audio podcast of there new show - which has no clever name. We’ll call it the PWChronicle Indy Wrestling show for now. Streleckis dishes out the info to start while Philapavage asks questions and gives opinions as he delves further into Indy fanhood. Whether you are a [...]
Having now seen, dissected, and digested every event that had taken place in 2007, Brian and Steve choose what they thought was the best that Ring of Honor had to offer. Presented are their top five choices in several integral categories.
Brian Streleckis is back with another live Chikara report from their New Alhambra Arena event on 4/20, right here on the Chronic-what-cle of Wrestling.
Steven Ho has no reception inside the building so he’s called during intermission and will call afte rthe show with thoughts and confirmation on results. In his place I’ll be putting up results collected from our friend T-Dog from the ROH Message Board, but these are not initially from PWChronicle.com as usual.
I got these [...]
Big thanks to Steven Ho, who will be texting results in for both of this weekend’s shows. While you’re waiting for our updates, scroll down the main page to listen to our preview of this weekend’s shows in BS With Honor #9.
1) Erick Stevens defeats Roderick Strong, El Generico, and Rocky Romero Stevens rolls [...]
The biggest tournament in the history of wrestling finally concludes over a late Sunday afternoon with some appropriate winners and plenty of crazy action beforehand.
The biggest tournament in wrestling history continues on, with four predictable choices advancing to the first night, the return of some 80s & 90s legends, and debuting team making a big impact.
Brian Streleckis is back doing live recollections as Chikara began the biggest tournament in wrestling history with some raucous matches and risque moments.
