Featuring Jigsaw, The Kings of Wrestling, Larry Sweeney, Delirious, a fellow in a dragon mask that I don't recognize, some half-bald hobo that is probably Necro Butcher, and some fat guy that likes to use Puro finishers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDkPst2Fobw&NR

The guy in the dragon mask is Retail Dragon. And I'm gonna guess the fat guy is Shane Storm, because he loves using puro moves.

I love that show, and that video.
I have to say something, which is one of the things that I have against CHIKARA. I saw two different people using the Shining Wizard (or variation of it) in that video. That move is not something that should just be thrown around, especially by short fat guys. It's just dimishes how good the move is.

Shane Storm (fat guy in mask) uses the Shining Wizard (dubbed "That Japanese Move"), while Arik Cannon uses the Glimmering Warlock (which is actually a Shining Enziguiri). Both guys use their respective Shining/Glimmering maneuver as their finisher. They don't throw the move out there like it's a dropkick or a hiptoss.

I don't have a problem with Cannon using it, but I don't like Storm just calling it "That Japanese Move". Makes it sound so generic. I love most of the Chikara guys, but I just can't get behind Storm.

And calling it "That Japanese Move" is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, obviously. Everyone knows what a Shining Wizard is. PS Gran Akuma should be in ROH.

Yeah, Akuma really should, along with Icarus.

Yeah I agree 100%, I have that problem with a fair share of indy wrestling. That video was really cool though, I haven't seen anything of the Kings of Wrestling aside from that vid and those were some really awesome spots on there. Was that J.J. Dillon tripping Chris Hero on that vid too?

I agree that Shane Storm and Arik Cannon shouldn't be using the Shining Whatsis. I've lightened up on Cannon a little but I still think Storm is downright horrible.

Retail Dragon sure likes his armdrags. I'm relatively sure that Retail Dragon is a more well known wrestler in disguise, but I can't pin down who it is.

Ooh, love that video...one of my favorites.
Hallowicked's moonsault kneedrop is the sickest thing ever. I'm surprised no one's stolen it yet.
And also Hero monkey flipping Claudio into Corbin's Whiz-Bang is awesome.

I'm in love with the European Uppercut counter to some top rope move.

I think it was to Delirious...he might have been going for Shadows Fall.
