CHIKARA Three-Fisted Tales
CHIKARA Three-Fisted Tales (11/22/2009)- Philadelphia, PA
PREVIOUSLY AT CHIKARA- five minutes, and you are caught up with all of the angles on the show.
THE THROWBACKS, GREEN ANT, & CARPENTER ANT vs. BRODIE LEE & THE UNSTABLE (Vin Gerard, STIGMA, & Colin Delaney)- 5.75/10
A nice little opener with some good, if short, stories.
YUJIRO KUSHIDA vs. HELIOS- 6.5/10
PLAYER UNO PROMO- good
TIM DONST vs. PLAYER UNO- 3/10
ULTRAMANTIS BLACK PROMO- great! He was mean to Crossbones, though, and that made me kind of sad.
INCOHERENCE vs. THE ORDER OF THE NEO-SOLAR TEMPLE (UltraMantis Black & Delirious) (w/Crossbones)- 6.5/10
A good match with a finish that got great heat!
TIM DONST & MIKE QUACKENBUSH BACKSTAGE- good.
Quack confronts Donst, demanding to know how Carpenter Ant won the Cibernetico using a move that Quack only taught to Donst. Donst mockingly repeats Carpenter Ant’s claim about being from the future, so Quack slams Donst and tells him â€"teach that one to Carpenter Ant!â€
CHUCK TAYLOR & ICARUS vs. MIKE QUACKENBUSH & JORGE â€"SKAYDE†RIVERA- 6.75/10
CHIKARA YOUNG LIONS CUP MATCH: Player Dos(c) vs. Lince Dorado- 7/10
This match had one of the craziest, scariest spots I have ever seen in my life.
EDDIE KINGSTON PROMO- good.
RESPECT MATCH: Eddie Kingston vs. Claudio Castagnoli- 8/10
A very slow-placed match that felt very puro-inspired. They did some great stuff in here, so much so that the finish felt underwhelming compared to some of the things that had come before it.
After the match Kingston reneges on the deal and says that he still doesn’t respect Claudio and hits him with a Backfist to the Future.
2 OUT OF 3 FALLS MATCH FOR THE CHIKARA CAMPEONATOS DE PAREJAS: The Colony (Fire Ant & Soldier Ant)(c) vs. The Osirian Portal- 7.5/10
POST MATCH ANGLE: THE REVEAL OF THE B.D.K.- PERFECT!
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS PERFECT! From the sense of shock you feel at all of the big reveals to the total sense of chaos you get during the brawl. Just perfect!
In case there is anyone out there who doesn’t know what happens here, I won’t spoil it in any way. It just suffices to say that this is must-see for any CHIKARA fan.
EPILOGUE- Leonard F. Chikarason finds Dieter Von Stiegerwalt in his office, which Dieter informs him isn’t his office anymore.
Overall, a very good show from CHIKARA, with the closing angle making it must-see for all CHIKARA fans.
