He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

Ryan "Roughhouse" O'Reilly could take the gimmick, that's the kind of character I had in mind when I heard the name at a SD/ECW house show.

Ya mean...sort of like Jervis Cottenbelly? He existed for a little while. Ol' Jervis was the first guy who came to my mind as well. If I recall, he had a handlebar moustache drawn on his mask, as well as a monacle. Am I correct or going slightly crazy? You are correct AND you're going slightly crazy! It's a win-win!

You are correct AND you're going slightly crazy! It's a win-win! Everyone goes home happy! So, Jervis did an old-time boxer gimmick? I haven't seen a lot of his stuff.

Basically, Jervis was an old school English gentleman. He came out to the theme from "Mr. Belvedere", tipped his bowler hat to his opponents and the crowd, and did all kinds of "gentlemanly" things.

I should try and find the Jervis Cottenbelly tribute from YouTube, that's got plenty of such clips in it. Since New Star Naviagtion on Saturday is a vets vs rookies show, with all 7 of such matches unannounced, I'd love it if one or two Chikara guys from the past made a return.

New matches announced for the November 3 shot. Starting with the Battle: It's an international, and interspecies incident, and KDojo representative MIYAWAKI takes on the masked insectoid evildoer, Ultramantis Black!!!!!! Will the superstiff puro star destroy the wacky evil insect? Or will Mantis' spiritual connections take precedence over the Japanese brawler? Now, for The Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence... A ridiculously intriguing match sees the Osirian Portal taking on Los Gatos Mexicanos(My personal team name suggestion) of Lince Dorado and the legendary Pantera. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Egyptians consider cats sacred? If so, this should be a terrible matchup for the Egyptian team. And finally, for the Chapter 11 show, a big return from an old friend... That's right, folks, Robbie Ellis is back, and he's back to take on the HYDRA!!!!!!!!!!! These two had some priceless interactions at this year's King of Trios tourney, including the world's least impressive posedown competition, so one can only imagine what sort of hilarity is in store for us in the ECW Arena.

Ancient Egyptians DID consider cats sacred...thus making this match 14 kinds of fun.

Mantis/MIYAWAKI should be pretty fun. The only question is how many of his sick headbutts will MIYAWAKI dole out. Ancient Egyptians DID consider cats sacred...thus making this match 14 kinds of fun. I hadn't considered that. That will make the match very interesting. Here's a point: Panytera and Dorado already have 1 Tag Point I believe, after beating Hero/Claudio. Could they get a Campeones shot sometime soon?

And depending on how the Portal does at Bruised, they could lose one or both of their points, or get a title shot off of beating the Luchadors.

OK, so CHIKARA is basically a mish-mash of puro, lucha and comedy workers? I'll be sure to buy those DVDs reeeeeeeeeeal soon

I keep having this crazy notion to try to do a documentary on Chikara.
I know...I'm crazy.

I keep having this crazy notion to try to do a documentary on Chikara. I know...I'm crazy. It may be a crazy idea, but it'd be a fun one. Sordid Perils is looking like a pretty good card. Chapter 11 seems more comedy-based right now than I expected, but there's plenty of dspace for new matches. Something I'd love and find very intriguing is if Incoherence won the belts, UIS got 3 points after beating the Portal and the Olsens, and then Lince/Pantera got 3 points, and both cashed in at Chapter 11. How would a 3-way 2/3 falls tag match work? First team to get 2 wins, 2 wins over each other team, or elimination rules?

Actually going behind the scenes would ruin a lot of it for me. Also, it needs to be narrated by John Stamos. SWERVE!
