I'm calling a Batiri win without huge shenaniganry, or perhaps a Swarm win, with a corrupting of Soldier Ant as a dark horse.

 9/11/2012: It will be bittersweet when The Swarm wins King of Trios 2012. Everything we set out to do will be accomplished. Even if we must defeat the version of The Colony with assailANT as their captain, I know he understands the greater good being achieved. Winning the biggest pro-wrestling tournament in the entire world will catapult us to even greater stardom. We had something to prove. We've proved it. The attention we deserved - we got it. Everywhere CHIKARA goes, even as the world watched live at "Chikarasaurus Rex," we are the ones that steal the show. And the thing we wanted to tell the world...Mike Quackenbush did it for us. Your ugly underneath has been exposed by your own hand. It is bittersweet that 17 cannot be there to witness the triumph of his vision. But he paid the ultimate price for waging war. He knew the risks, and he faced them down with courage. 17 will most likely never wrestle again, but don't think for a second, Quackenbush, that means his mission has failed. Or that we will not honor him in absentia. What he began, we will finish. What will be the expression on your face, Mike, watching helplessly as the living legend of Manami Toyota sees her career ended in a CHIKARA ring? What would you do if your partner and protege was taken from you at the event where you needed him most of all? Are you ready to see how ugly things get? This Friday. combatANT |

I've been thinking about this for a while, but I've been hesitant to post this. But I think it's a question worth mentioning... Does anybody else kind of get the vibe that some reasons for CHIKARA being a tad boring as to do with the timing of Brodie and SDR leaving? I mean, to me, it seemed like both were being built up to dethrone Kingston as Grand Champion, but when their title matches came up they each signed WWE deals.

Chikara has lost a lot of quality people this year and it shows. |

When your champion has lost 3 straight possible feuds (as in the feud couldn't happen) with Vin, Brodie, and SDR, it's gonna really have an effect on things. It's hard for Kingston to be interesting when he has no one to interact with, and no return matches to worry about.
Chikara pretty much has to go about building up a new challenger. I mean sure, you could throw out some always over people like Mantis or Fire Ant at him, but you'd have to make it mean something. Donst, for instance could tell a great story, with Kingston destroying him early in his career at all. Kingston needs a foil.

Weren't they building up Icarus to be his next opponent at one point?

They never really commited to it yet, but he's a decent possibility, really any of FIST.

Isn't Icarus signed to a DGUSA/EVOLVE deal? I can see that being a big hang up for Quack, not being able to have his Grand Champion on the iPPVs.

I know that Taylor and Gargano are big cogs in that machine, but I didn't think Icarus really had anything to do with it. |

Don't know how I mixed them up. Yeah really. One has talent and charisma and the other only has the worst tattoo known to man. |

I mentioned this either last thread or the thread before and it kind of started with Claudio as the big story they were telling up to that point was going to be Eddie vs. Claudio for the Title... and I wouldn't be terribly surprised to find out that Claudio was supposed to win originally. |

Now we can get a proper comparison on horrifying tattoos!
That is Jolly Roger, right?

 9/12/2012: I don't understand CHIKARAbermetrics. Leave it to a corporate type like Wink to take something fueled by heart and emotion and try to look at it mathematically. The best teams are almost always greater than the sum of their parts. I don't understand 3.0. For two guys that want to "make it to the promised land", they spend a lot of time screwing around in the ring. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good laugh as much as anyone. Well, except maybe my wife. And some of her friends. Alright, so most people enjoy a good laugh more than I do, but that's beside the point. In a matter of days, we go into King of Trios...against three of the guys who left us lying back at "Give 'Em The Axe." The one thing I do understand since this "3.Akuma" nonsense started is that when 3.0 and Gran Akuma get together, we win. And I like winning. A lot. As a guy that's been to the top of that mountain, I think we can be a trio. In fact, if we can get on the same page, I think we can be the 2012 King Of Trios. So Parker and Matthews, I'm going to be the one to say - we make something of this. In his infinite wisdow, Wink has given us lemons. Faisons de la limonade. AKUMA |
