CHIKARA Season 9 Thread

Hello CHIKARA fans!

Back by popular demand, the F1rst Family returns for our 3rd straight King of Trios event. And I must start off by saying “thank you” for all your support. There are a lot of things I’m looking forward to that weekend which will make the 40-hour roundtrip car ride worth it.

1) Wawa – we don’t have those out in the Midwest. So we’ve been craving it since YLC, and that’s a definite must.

2) Arik Cannon, Ryan Cruz, and I have come closer and closer to winning this epic event. And this year is gonna be ours. We came within a hair of defeating the eventual winners, F.I.S.T., last year so we have no doubts. Arik Cannon is a former YLC champion, and Cruz and I, under the tutelage of J.J. Dillon, almost beat the winners of the Tag World Grand Prix 2006. So, the three of us together definitely have the ability to win an event based on the cohesive art of tag team wrestling.

3) CHIKARA Fans – some of my favorite experiences have been performing in front of all of you. King of Trios has been the stage for some of my favorite matches, and also, some of the most welcomed receptions that I’ve experienced anywhere. We’ve made you laugh in slow-motion, received overwhelming ovations, and now you have wanted us to come back for CHIKARA’s biggest event for a 3rd time. What kinda crazy stuff will we do this time? You never know…

4) Finally…Wawa. Did I mention this already? Oh well, I eat there all the time when I’m out east. So it gets 2 nods.

Anyways, King of Trios 2010 is less than a month away. I’m already anticipating our return. I’m excited for what’s in store, and ready to travel 40 hours with two of my best friends.


I will see you soon.

Sugar Dunkerton - 13. April 2010

"A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FO'EVA~!" - Jon Keates

Well, without all the slickness on the "forever," but you dig what I'm sayin'. And what a beautiful thing it will be April 23rd - 25th, marking my first appearance at the spectacle that is King of Trios! Unfortunately, they've yet to produce the reel-to-reel version of the past events (DVDs are just shiny coasters to me;) but you gotta be living under a pretty big rock not to respect the gravity of this tournament. Not to be boastful, but your boy is a natural at team sports ALREADY, so any tournament rooted in setting picks and teamwork is a good look.

And much like the atrociously out-of-sight Showtime Lakers of old, I've got a squad with phasers set to STUNT. I got "The Old Standard" Dasher Hatfield, with more swings than your local playground. You think he ain't ready? Check his pedigree, cause he's always a base away from greatness. With skills like his, how can you doubt that?

How could we forget Matt "You Already Know It's A" Classic? This cat practically invented the sport of pro-wrestling. I've seen the patent, trust me. How you gonna 450 your way out of an Airplane Spin? Or hit a Tiger Driver while trapped in the dreaded Claw-hold?! The man has forgotten more about wrestling (and kneepads) than some will ever absorb. And if you THINK he'll be out of practice; ask Pinkie Sanchez and Tim Donst if he ain't the truth!

Seems like we're missing somebody...ooooh yeah.

"Black Swagger."

"The Backcourt Bandit."

"Slam McNasty."

"The Chocolate Ice Cream Dream."

Sugar Dunkerton.

I play to win. I cross-up all challenges and jam it in no matter how high the goal. Call me Starbucks! Cause I'm hot, black, and fresh! I LIVE for moments like these.

The stakes are so high that 3 lives can change forever. I don't care what nationality, species, or background you represent. Hallowicked, Claudio -

-Gets handed a telegram with the names of their first round opponents-

Thanks for breaking the flow of my blog, man.

So it comes to my attention, RUDELY -looks off-screen- that we are set to face off against F.I.S.T. in full force. History class is in session and Mr. Dunkerton is your professor. Dash and I have battled F.I.S.T. twice in the past, and twice have they been left holding an L while we walk away with the W. Aren't you guys s'pposed to be unstoppable? Unbeatable? At least that's all that noise you was talkin' before those matches (of course.)

Now we meet in a different style of battle, 3-on-3, and CHIKARA done served up your Kryptonite. I highly expect you to know the amount of ring lights that need fixing in the arena after that 3-second tan ya'll are set to experience. I'll give you guys this...we've never faced ya'll in full force. To deny how dangerous you guys are would be beyond silly. I imagine you'll pull out every trick in your playbook to hold on to your unstoppable aura as a trio. This just in: we don't want to stop you.

We wanna shut you down.

Immortality awaits the winners, and what better way to prove that old school still rules than by seizing victory at King of Trios 2010.

Victory and the fountain of youth will be one in the same for three nights...and our squad is dying of thirst.


Respect the architects. POW.

Senior Referee Bryce Remsburg - 16. April 2010

Ahoy CHIKARA fans! I just got a chance to watch "Wit, Verve, and a Bit o' Nerve" from Easton last month, and while I enjoyed most of the event, the main event left me with quite the bad taste in my mouth. I'm not even talking about the fact that those Swiss intruders are parading around with OUR belts, either. In the final moments of the championship match, that brute Tursas manhandled me, and pulled me from the ring during a routine pinfall count.

Perhaps I was caught up in the emotion of the match, with what was on the line, but I was so taken aback by his actions that I failed to administer a disqualification, which would have awarded the second fall to The Colony. Of course, I hate to dole out such decisions in a title match, but in hindsight, his actions were inexcusable. His distraction of me allowed the Bruderschaft to illegally sway the match, and consequently the Campeonatos de Parejas in their favor.

Obviously there is no instant replay rule in wrestling, and it hasn't been the first time I have missed "rudo indiscretions," but with so much at stake, I feel compelled to publicly apologize for this one. I apologize to the CHIKARA fans, to our Director Dieter, and the Colony in specific for my lapse in judgment. It's easy to get carried away with the action in multiple-man matches, but such control is even harder to maintain when the BDK is involved. Still, that is my job as referee.

With King of Trios 2010 on the horizon, I realize all CHIKARA brass will be on hand, as will every member of the roster. In years past, when a ruling was delivered in error, Leonard Chikarason saw fit to amend the match results after the fact on rare occasions. With that in mind, I am asking that this title match from last month be examined and that the result of the second fall be changed to a disqualification. In my mind, this would mean the titles are held up, and a rematch should be scheduled as quickly as possible. Anything else, in my mind, puts a stain on the legacy of the most prized championship CHIKARA has. We cannot let this stand.


I thank you in advance for your hopeful understanding,
BR

19. April 2010 - Dieter Von Steigerwalt

Guten tag.

Thank you, Herr Remsburg, for taking the time to address your concerns about the title change of 20 March here, in a public forum, rather than coming to me directly in my office. We all appreciate you being so forthright. For those of you that don't know, our referees are answerable directly to the Director of Fun, which you may recall, is me.

While I appreciate that my predecessor sometimes decided to retroactively amend match results, I stand firm on the point that our referees, especially a Senior Referee, knows how to make an accurate call in the heat of the moment. After all, Remsburg, isn't that exactly why Chikarason promoted you to the title of Senior Referee?

To clarify, I am denying your request. The titles will not be held up. The Bruderschaft are your Campeones de Parejas now, and probably, until the day CHIKARA is closed. We are not going to start revisiting old match results because a referee has second thoughts. To revisit the result of any bout, let alone a championship bout, in this manner is a veritable Pandora's Box that we will not endeavor to open.

Furthermore, Remsburg - learn your place. We can discuss it in crystalline detail this weekend at King of Trios, if you fail to understand the chain of command, or the proper protocol and etiquette.


Im Namen der Bruderschaft,
DVS

Bisher habe ich die Bruderschaft immer als ernste Gruppierung in CHIKARA empfunden. ;)

[Silk]

Nich bei den 3en.

Aber mir gefällt die Blog Geschichte zwischen Remsburg und Steigerwalt ... ich glaub da könnte noch was bei King Of Trios passieren, vllt verliert sogar Remsburg den Senior Referee Posten.

Während der Intermission gab es einen animierten Trailer zu einem CHIKARA Videogame namens "Rudo Resurrection".

Immernoch wird heftig debattiert ob das Projekt stimmt oder nur ein neuer SL Verlauf ist, hier auf jeden Fall der imo geniale Trailer zum Spiel.
