Chikara Season 9 premier hype thread...

NO.

NO!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

- F.I.S.T won King of Trios.
- Player Dos is the new Young Lions Cup Champion.
- UMB used the Eye of Tyr to make Delirious a member of the Order of the Neo Solar Temple.
- Create-A-Wrestlers gimmick this year was Dasher Hatfield, an old-timey baseball player. this gimmick has gone so over, that he may keep the gimmick. He also got a new tag partner in the form of Suger Dunkerton, a ABA-esque basketball player.
- Worker Ant retired due to injuries and was replaced by Green Ant.
- A 'new' rudo tag team joined Chikara. The Badd Boyz Chad and Brad. Though they seem new, it's obvious that they're really Jagged and Shane Matthews.
- The feud between F.I.S.T and The Colony ended in a Hair vs. Mask match, where a 4th ant, Carpenter Ant, helped the others win. Icarus and Taylor have regrown their hair since.
- Speaking of Carpenter Ant, he won the Cibernetico using the Inverted Chikara Special, a move that had Quack wondering where he learned such a move.
- Tim Donst, sick of losing match with Hydra, turned Rudo. He viciously attacked Hydra which got him suspended at one point and beat him in a Loser Leaves CHIKARA match.
- Also gone from the company are Grizzly Redwood and Escorpion Egipcio.
- The Colony defeated the The Osirian Portal to be the new Campeon de Parejas.
- And finally, the biggest storyline:

UMB had been threatened by a group called the BDK, who were after the Eye of Tyr, which apparently UMB stole from them. For weeks, men in white would appear in the audience after a short blackout, causing UMB to panic. A man named Vökoder assisted UMB by telling him that by giving it Eye to someone else will lift the bad luck for him and the Temple. At the final show of the season, it was revealed that one member was Ares, who was Claudios tag partner in Swiss Money Holding.At which point, Ares, Another member we now know called Tursas, Claudio, Sara Del Rey, Daisee Haze, Carpenter Ant, and Vökoder attacked the tecnicos, The Osirian Portal (who had the match with the colony prior to this), and UMB. It was revealed the Carpenter Ant was really Pinkie Sanchez and that Vökoder was Tim Donst. The lights went out again and when they went back up, the tecnicos, the portal, UMB, and the staff were laid out all over the ringside area. It was revealed a day later that there is an 8th member who has yet to be revealed.

Though it was hinted that the Order and Eddie Kingston, who seemed to have known that this was gonna happen, would turn tecnico because of this, they are still listed as rudo. However, The Osirian Portal did switch from rudo to tecnicos.

And that's pretty much season 8 in a nutshell. Also, 2 teams are qualified for the Campeon de Parejas: F.I.S.T, and the Order. So expect that in season 9.

Well...looks like I need to check out the season finale then.

i've already got money set aside to buy it when its released (as well as some older '05 shows). truth be told its the first CHIKARA show in quiet a while i'm really interested in, as the last several months really steamed to only have showcase matches. i still think they should have done Team UltraMantis Black vs. Team Hallowicked for the Cibernetico (and called it "The Dark Cibernetico" to keep the Batman movie names going) instead of the tecnico incredible match. i own all the Ciberneticos except that one and The Cibernetico Returneth (which is currently in my SMV wish list and will be part of my next purchase), and out of all of them this years is the one i have the least amount of interest in seeing.

That's the funny thing about Benedict Arnold, he was a good man who had to deal with unappreciative slobs.

Oh, he was.

And about Donst, he's so American, he's moreso then Captain America, that rogue.

Actually, Iron Man is probably more American then Captain America, come to think of it.

If this happens, which it very well might if you remember the whole angle with Sara and Daizee wanting better competition, I will mark harder than anyone ever has over anything before. I think it's a great idea.

Can't wait to see what happens.

I'm BDK all the way.

I would actually change the King of Trios prediction to whatever combo of BDK they put in.

That Sara and Daizee prediction is brilliant though.
