CHIKARA Season 17&18 Thread:Teeth & Claws

CABANA MAN DAN STILL WRESTLES??

Holy Shit, that dudes been around since 2001, he's also wrestled Quackenbush before but not in CHIKARA, it's shown in this video and I think the full match is online.

With how the dude has the "Flip Flop Chop" I'm honestly shocked he wasn't in CHIKARA more. He only made two appearances in 07, losing to Chuck Taylor in the first round of that years Young Lions Cup, and then Mitch Ryder on Night 2 of the Event.

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

Holy shit, Cabana Man Dan? That's a name I haven't heard in some time. Also, Ace Haven, cool. Nice guy, with a really lovely wife.

1. The Proletariat Boar of Moldova defeated Ace Haven with the Gore. (Boar at 1)

Now that he is Ophidian, The Whisper can now speak without the use a projection screen. The first Ophidian squandered his ability to control people and use the power of suggestion, so the Whisper took his skin to make Ophidian reach it’s maximum potential.

2. Sonny Defarge & Cornelius Crummels defeated Donny Primetime & “Lights” Cameron Action with an elevated curb stomp from Crummels to Primetime. (Crummels and DeFarge at 1)

3. Hype Rockwell defeats Britt Jackson by disqualification when Race Jaxon attacks him before Rockwell hit the Hyperwheel. (Someone tell these people how DQs work! Hype at 1)

4. Merlok defeats Cabana Man Dan with the World’s Strongest Slam. (Merlok at 2)

5. Fire Ant pins Sloan Caprice with the Beach Break, earning his third point! (self explanatory)

– Rick Roland, who has not been seen due to injury for months, attacked Fire Ant twice during the match.

end of rave's post

after some conversation it seems everyone (that is not a chikara guy) but ace haven is from pro south in alabama. they were just used on the excellence show that quack,vlad and bryce did seminars at. pro south is also the federation that has the tag team named the "greenhorn militia". i just thought that was interesting.

ace haven was apparently last seen in chikara vs kyle matthews(17) in 2012.

i did not renew my chikaratopia subcription so i was unable to see it but this sounds like a pretty interesting hour of power.

Really now? Makes me wonder if that's where Create-a-Wrestler II and 3quinox went after Deucalion broke them.

after finding some videos of them on youtube i am fairly confident saying it is not them. it would be cool if it were.

Boar vs. Oleg is signed for Tooth and Claw. If Boar wins he has 2 points. Doing a Boar/Juan title match would be interesting because you don't really see heel/heel in Chikara AND it would be a call back to United Nations at least. Juan has to get past Touchdown and Fire Ant first.

Boars starting to get that Rusev aura though where it doesn't really matter that he's a heel anymore he's extremely over and getting a face reaction, especially with the "BOAR!" chant, so it would even be a good angle to turn him.

So, is Fire Ant the new John Cena? Because if so.....

Dude, I would not have recognized him. Glad to see he's doing well.

Some Blogs:
1st, Ashley Vox

A lot goes on in my mind. Some may say I'm not the same person I use to be. Ya know, the sweet happy go-getter. The Ashley Vox who smiled and laughed a lot. I can't lie, I haven't been great. I lost so much in such a short amount of time. All I can think about is that day Merlok broke into my life. Saw an opportunity, and as any devious person would... took advantage of it! I feel betrayed, I feel defeated. I lost my best friend. I'll never see her again. I lost my Sea Star, I lost my mentor, but most of all, I lost myself. I don't know who Ashley Vox is anymore, that's the scary thing.

I have a hard time sleeping at night, because the visuals of that day still pop in my head. I wake up, realizing that this nightmare is real. I have to live life knowing I lost everything. Knowing what was taken away from me. Knowing there was a time when I had everything...when I had a smile, a laugh, when I knew who I was. But, I feel dead inside now, knowing I have no choice but to move on. The only thing that keeps me going, is seeking my revenge on Merlok. September 30th is just days away. Close enough that I can taste it. You might wonder "is Ashley Vox really ready? To face a beast alone?" Well...there is no direction for me other than right through Merlok. I'm not going to just face my demons, I'm going to unleash them.

2nd, the retiring Bruno Meloni

Also, the first match for A good Man goes to war is Hype Rockwell vs Race Jaxon.

Duty. It's the one tenet that calls all men and women in blue to serve. It was the virtue that inspired Officer Magnum and me to respond to Officer Barksdale's repeated radio calls for backup.

When we arrived within the talented tag team division during Season 17 I knew that The Force would be fighting uphill to ascend the ranks, much like Barksdale, Magnum, and I did as police officers. We were able to subdue our opposition using stellar teamwork. The motivation of fighting for justice often provided the boost we needed when situations looked dire.

Then came the afternoon of March 4th, our shot at los Campeonatos de Parejas. On multiple occasions we were moments away from capturing the gold, however Crummels and Defarge's tactics were superior on that snowy day. It seemed to start a downward spiral for The Force. Whether we were complacent, full of hubris, or just caught a string of bad luck, we could not get our momentum back. This feeling was reminiscent of the leads in a case going cold. It was completely demoralizing. So The Force went back to the bulletin board and revamped our technique. We were ready to start anew after King of Trios.

At the end of a training session last week I received a call from my former police chief. She asked me to return to police work, citing that the district was in shambles since I left. A wave of urban unrest was brewing and my no nonsense approach was the best solution. I have had two vocations in my life, professional wrestling and law enforcement. Giving less than 110% of myself to either was a disservice to both.

After much deliberation with my team, we were at a standstill. As I laid my head down to sleep that night, I was reminded of the satisfaction I felt after a long shift knowing that my city was safe for another day. I recalled the surge of emotions felt from a relieved mother uncontrollably hugging me after the safe return of her child. And I could never forget the gratification knowing that my citizens could rest easily while I was on an overnight patrol. I knew that returning to police duty at my previous post in the First District of D.C was the most altruistic choice.

My moments in a wrestling ring, while short, have been unforgettable. I leave Barksdale in the four capable paws of Officer Magnum. Barksdale has also found good, reliable backup in the form of Dez Peloton. I think those energetic cyclists are a magnificent fit compared to my pragmatism. I wish them all the best of luck. Lastly, thank you citizens of the CHIKARMY. It is your support, which drives us wrestlers to make the sacrifices we do for this craft. It has been my honor to serve you.

This is Officer Bruno Meloni, 10-42, over and out.

I have no knowledge if the dude is really retiring or just done with Chikara.

I knew something was up when this whole Bike Cops thing started up

[cjb01: Limited Edition Item!]

So Delmi Exo and Bruno Meloni are basically gone too?

This is CHIKARA's problem as I've stated before. They've already lost so many stars and now their rookies are basically leaving too. How are you supposed to INVEST into these people when they aren't even around a season?? It's incredibly annoying, and only serves to muck up continuing storylines and the overall product.

We're expecting these people to be the new guard and at least be around for a bit with an already dwindling roster, and it feels like more and more booking, backstage, and who knows what personal wise has stopped that. I knew when this happened with Argus that CHIKARA was not in good shape...

...but Officer Magnum is staying? I thought he was HIS dog.

Also? Officer Magnum seems like a very good boy? But... he's clearly really scared going out there in front of the crowd and they shouldn't do that anymore.

I really wish Archie still wrestled or managed, he could get over as both, I feel like he's being wasted backstage...

I'm happy for Archie. I'm sure he's making more money in the wrestling business than he's ever made before. That's not wasted, that's the goal. Good for him.

I don't think that was referring to Delmi. Delmi is wrestling on Saturday. I think it was referring to the Sea Stars' mascot who Merlok destroyed a couple of months back.

Based on some social media pictures I've seen, I think Magnum is actually Solo Darling's dog in real life.

But yeah, I agree. The dog clearly doesn't want to be out there, and doesn't like the noise. Don't send him out there.

It's a great idea. Film videos for the website. Have him there for interviews. He seems very sweet, and he's adorable in the uniform. Just no crowds.

Though, knowing he's Solo Darling's, it makes me want to see him in a little bee outfit.

Its a shame because The Dog is one of the most over things in CHIKARA this year

Guys, you're totally breaking kayfabe by saying it's Solo's dog. Remember the rules!
