I've come across many boards that have compared HUSTLE to Chikara, and I don't know why.
I mean sure they are both comedy based, but HUSTLE has a LOT of big stars, celebrity involvement, and you know great wrestling on most cards with big stage shows. It's glitzy sorta like WWE, except all based on a type of Power Rangers Style of entertainment.
Chikara is an independent with a lot of guys who wear funny costumes, a bunch of rookies, and a bunch of independent wrestlers. THey wrestle a more subdued comedy/lucha style. I would compare Chikara more to DDT, which i actually consider my favorite comedy wrestling federation. Which also uses mostly independent wrestlers, rookies, and guys in whacky outfits.

You don't consider Bob Saget a celebrity?

If Chikara had the money that HUSTLE has waisted over the years, they'd be the third biggest promotion in America right now, hands down.

I'd say the DDT comparison is actually more accurate than the HUSTLE one, yes. Certainly the low budget feel of both promotions is comparable.

That could apply to almost any promotion Like CZW? Sure, they could hire a new booker, and finally buy out Zandig. |

He'd be a fool to turn that down. Well there's not much hope then, as you don't get much bigger fools than Zandig. And yeah, I'd say CHIKARA is closer to DDT than HUSTLE, but IMo does better wrestling than DDT. If they recived good finances, however, they'd do very well. Not neccessarily just because they would have the money, but because they're family friendly so will be looked on in a positive light in the public eye. Similar with ROH, since they tend to focus on wrestling being a legit sport, so might be credible among the pro sports newscircles. |

I want the head of the idiot that booked what happened to Eddie Kingston on that show. |

Maven Bently is the czw booker these days and from what I have heard Zandig has pretty much left ruinning the companey up to him. I forget who was booking czw in 05 and 06 but he was good, and those are widely considered czws best years. |

There best years were actually 03-05. 2006 was the beginning of the fall as they didn't capitalize on their end with the ROH/CZW war. |

Hmm, weird, I'd think he'd actually be pretty good. |

He has a nasty habit of Vince-mcmahoning himself into all the shows. Plus Dj Hyde got a big push this year beacuse he is friends with Maven. He also doesnt have the booking talent to make up for czws weak roster these days. |

I get that he apparently sucks, but is this some unheard of level of supersuck we're talking? I ran across a myspace group one time that was named "DJ Hyde SUCKS!!!!!" and was populated mostly with other CZW wrestlers. What's the deal? |

I ran across a myspace group one time that was named "DJ Hyde SUCKS!!!!!" and was populated mostly with other CZW wrestlers. What's the deal? Ok Il try to say this simply but effectivly. DJ Hyde is slow in the ring, sloppy, and is generally not a great worker. He is pretty much the top heel in czw right now but he isnt a very good heel at all. His idea of working the crowd is to just yell and swear at them alot. Hell his promos are nothing more than him swearing a lot. I dont take him seriously and there are lots of other people who dont. He is getting pushed becasue he is friends with Maven. Throughout 07 he has been a major part of almost every show. Imagine a fatter obnoxious Shane Storm with even less talent and you have DJ Hyde. Well thats jsut my oppionon. |

See I don't go into both promotions expecting workrate classics, I expect to laugh and be entertained. it's good stuff for both. Thouh I like DDT more because of CUTE REFS! No way would grown men in dragon costumes be in pro sports articles in the united states EVER... ROH is not true sports, especially now with all those groups. They've become DG America. |
