1.18.08 Guerrerro/Bucanero vs Mistico/Dr. Wagner Jr. With Matches of the Year being discussed in all genres and styles, I decided to stay in chronological order on our journey through the year’s best stuff and go to Mexico. The timing is right as we’ll have some thoughts from a new CHRON contributor, Carlos Lopez, who can give [...]

Oct 2004 CM Punk vs Brian Danielson (IWA-MS) Punk is actually the World Heavyweight Champion as of this writing in the WWE. Wow! Danielson is rumored to be going to the WWE. Both have been two of my all-time favorites from this decade’s crop of indy talent. I felt it was time to take a [...]

Match # 150: Eddie Gilbert & Dick Murdoch vs. Lightning Express (7/21/87) Here we are. The end of the journey of vote-able matches. We go out with somewhat of a whimper, but we do have four solid workers in there. Murdoch and Gilbert as heels and Tim Horner and Brad Armstrong.

Match # 149: Dick Murdoch vs. Barry Windham (7/11/87) Jim Ross and a heel Terry Taylor are on commentary for this match. They would be invaluable in helping elevate an already good match for the Western States Heritage Title. Off we go: Taylor as a heel gets over the subtleties of wrestling. He says something about fear [...]

ROH is turning Japanese next weekend, and with some fully-announced cards, we’re on the case nice and early. Check out our previews of the newly-minted GHC champ’s ROH debut, a big weekend for Age of the Fall, an all-star roster of Japanese favorites, and more. Part 1 (34 minutes) (Right click to download) Part 2 features [...]

‘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.

It may not be 130, but we’ve reached our 20th show here on the Chron, so help celebrate the milestone by checking out our re-cap of last weekend’s Midwest double shot. In addition to our thoughts on the results from Cleveland and Chicago, we take a wider look at the ROH landscape for a [...]

I just wanted everyone to know that THIS is a promo. The King of Diamonds speaks!

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.

Match # 66: Hacksaw Duggan & Dick Murdoch vs. Kamala & Kareem Muhammad (7/14/85) Muhammad, who I’ll be calling Kareem from this point forward, is just a fat black guy in US Army camo colors. It’s Mark Henry if he stopped his lifting training or greatly reduced it. Kamala is typical Ugandan Giant Kamala, complete with [...]

Match # 51: Ric Flair vs Terry Taylor 4/28/85 The champ is in town tonight! Slick Ric makes his way to the Mid South Territory as the traveling NWA Champion. During the 80s Flair’s defenses in the territories produced perhaps more great matches and fondly remembered moments than his work in Crockett Promotions at [...]

Match # 50: Rock and Roll Express vs Dirty White Boys 4/15/85 The Dirty White Boys consist of Len Denton and Tony Anthony. Big rugged brawler types that look like Ted Dibiase’s unkempt older brothers. Very southern guys who fit the gimmick, and of course, they are the heels. We all know [...]

Match # 49: Steve Williams/Jake Roberts vs The Fantastics 4/14/85 Not sure why Jake and Doc are a team here other then they’re both heels. I’ve never been a fan of miss-mosh teams that have totally different characters and yet are supposed to be a cohesive unit that’s not questioned storyline wise. [...]

Match # 47 Ted Dibiase vs Jim Duggan 3/8/85 (No DQ) The build up as per the extras disk on our Mid South set: -we begin with Dibiase’s return, brokered by “Business Associate” Skando Akbar. This same association and stable led to the Butch Reed turn we’d already discussed. Here, Steve Williams is suppose to [...]

For our 18th outing, we’ve got a jam-packed Part 1 featuring International Correspondent Erik Launiainen joining us to discuss last weekend’s ROH debut in Canada. He’s got all the details on the returns of Lance Storm and Mark Briscoe, native son Kevin Steen’s latest title challenge, and another crowd pleaser between Bryan Danielson and [...]

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.

After a bit of a hiatus for the ROH and BSWH crews, we’re just one day away from ROH’s Canadian debut, and we’re all over it, starting with our audio preview. We also do our best to preview the barely-announced Saturday PPV taping in Detroit and discuss some other news. Be sure to [...]
