The Flamboyance 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 I'm gunning for Chuck Taylor or Rex Sterling but Sterling has zero chance of winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlaskanHero 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 Chuck Taylor is most likely going to win the whole thing. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they gave it to Soldier Ant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 Ah, it's about time Chuck and Ric got off their asses and brought some more home grown Chaos Pro talent like Flexy Hexy out to play. Taylor is by far the best bet to win... which kinda makes me think that Quack will book someone else instead, everyone expects Chuck to go over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 These Ice Cream guys intrigue me. Their big finish is a Powerbomb into a pile of thumbtacks sprinkles. No lie. Well, it used to be when they were rudos. Which they were fantastic at. Not sure since they defected to the technico sides, I'm a bit behind on the DVDs, so I don't know how different they are now. For what it's worth, Quack seems pretty high on Lince. I've got Lince and Chuck as the last two in the night one six-man with Chuck going over, Corbin and Cruz last two on night two with Corbin winning. And then Corbin to win overall. I must getting behind on my indies though, I'm a huge CHIKARA fan in particular, but there's at least 8 names on there I've never seen wrestle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2007 I went to my first Chikara show this past Memorial Day in Philadelphia and it was a lot of fun. Los Ice Creams are superb, as well as the New Order of the Neo Solar Temple guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Young Lions Cup, Opening Round Match: Billy Roc (IPW) def. "Omega" Aaron Draven (IWA-EC) by pinfall with the standing Shiranui/Asai DDT to advance to the 6-Way Elimination Semi Final Match. 2.

Cabana Man Dan by pinfall with a piledriver. Sounded good enough. 8. Chuck Taylor def. Arik Cannon by pinfall when he reversed a would-be top rope Northern Lights Suplex into a sort-of pull-down piledriver. At one point Chuck did a running senton from the outside to the inside. Chuck made a child cry. At one point I was told "this match is amazing", so it sounded great. 9. Los Ice Creams (El Hijo del Ice Cream & Ice Cream, Jr.) & Amigo Suzuki def. Team F.I.S.T. (Gran Akuma & Icarus) & Max Boyer by pinfall when both Ice Creams pinned Icarus with a two-man backslide (from sweet, creamy heaven!). 10.

Barnesville crowd is said to be 60-70. The building is very hot, and the crowd atmosphere apparently sucks. Young Lions Cup 5, Night 3 Results Credit to CHIKARAFANS~! Show starts at 4. CHIKARA Young Lions Cup 5, Night 3 Results American Legion Hall, Hellertown, PA - June 24th 2007 The Kings of Wrestling did a promo to open the show. When they were done, Team F.I.S.T. came out and issued an open challenge. Los Ice Creams accepted. 1. Los Ice Creams (El Hijo del Ice Cream & Ice Cream, Jr.) def. Team F.I.S.T. by pinfall when both men pinned Akuma after a Doomsday Assissino. Great opener. 2. The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (UltraMantis Black, Hydra & Crossbones) def. Super Xtremo, Player Uno & Moscow the Communist Bovine by pinfall when Mantis used the Praying Mantis Bomb on Xtremo. Mantis had refused to harm the cow, obviously due to his vegan donut love and non-carniverous ways. Hydra also used grass to distract Moscow. 3. Billy Roc def. Amigo Suzuki by pinfall with a most well mannered frog splash. 4. The Olsen Twins (Jimmy Olsen & Colin Olsen) def. The North Star Express (Ryan Cruz & Darin Corbin) by pinfall when Colin used the ropes for leverage to pin Corbin. The North Stars came out in vintage Minnesota North Stars jerseys. Said to be wildly entertaining. "I might throw up from laughing so hard". 5. Lince Dorado def. Mitch Ryder. As a result of this, Mitch kicked the Mexican out of him. Intermission time! 6. "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush def. "Superstar" Shayne Hawke by pinfall with the QD2. 7. BLK-OUT (Sabian & Ruckus) def. The Colony (Fire Ant & Soldier Ant) by pinfall when Sabian hit the Black Jesus Stomp. Ruckus dropped the F-bomb, so he is due for a fine. Ruckus and Sabian continued their assault after the match. 8. The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli) def. Cheech & Cloudy by pinfall when Claudio gave Cloudy the Ricola Bomb. Called good, but not great. 9. Golden Dream Trios Match: Hallowicked, Jigsaw & Shane Storm def. Larry Sweeney, Max Boyer & Arik Cannon by submission when Hallowicked made Arik Cannon submit to the CHIKARA Special. A hole in the ring apparently came about in this match, but the last 5-7 minutes were said to be excellent anyway. The ring is being fixed. Apparently there was a huge depression in the middle of the ring, indicating possibly a slipped or even broken board. They've got the ring on cinder blocks and Gran Akuma is investigating! Ring is now fixed. Game on. 10. Young Lions Cup Final: Chuck Taylor def. Ricochet by pinfall with the Omega Driver to win the Young Lions Cup, becoming the seventh man to hold the trophy. Chuck made another kid cry. man Chuck Taylor must be a real good heel to make kids cry, i am so ordering these shows when the time comes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 5. Young Lions Cup, Opening Round Match: Ice Cream, Jr. (LAW) def. Hex Gage (OSW) by pinfall with the Jack & Jill Hammer after falling to the wrath of the sprinkles to advance to the 6-Way Elimination Semi-Final Match. The match was said to be "meh". I remember someone saying this building had a low ceiling. If that's true, then the fans did NOT see the full Hexgage experience, as he can do ridiculous flippy stuff off the top that even got Jack Evans to mark out for it. Chuck made a child cry. Chuck made another kid cry. man Chuck Taylor must be a real good heel to make kids cry "Chuck Taylor Hates Children" is a long-running joke... which isn't really a joke. e) Billy Roc was eliminated by Ricochet following, and I quote, "a reverse rana into a springboard tornado DDT into a standing Shooting Star Press pinfall combo". Translation: "well, I can't do my double moonsault in this tiny building, so I gotta pull off SOMETHING that no other wrestler on the face of the planet could even hope to copy." 10. Young Lions Cup Final: Chuck Taylor def. Ricochet by pinfall with the Omega Driver to win the Young Lions Cup, becoming the seventh man to hold the trophy. , i am so ordering these shows when the time comes It makes me happier than I can possibly express to see that hard-working indy guys I've known for years are finally getting to play on top in a relatively well-known promotion.
