CHIKARA Style & Substance
CHIKARA Style & Substance (9/7/2008)- Philadelphia, PA
F.I.S.T. (Gran Akuma & Chuck Taylor) vs. THE COLONY (Fire Ant & Worker Ant)- 6.75/10
EDDIE KINGSTON PROMO- good stuff.
EDDIE KINGSTON vs. LINCE DORADO- No rating. Great segment.
SSB PROMO- not good.
SUPER SMASH BROTHERS vs. THE FABULOUS TWO (Mitch Ryder & Buck Hawke)- 4.75/10. As much as I tried, I just could not get into this match. They told a good story about Uno being a babyface in peril and there was some good cheating by Hawke & Ryder, but I just didn’t enjoy the match at all until the last thirty seconds.
OSLEN BROTHERS SEGMENT- good
ORDER OF THE NEO-SOLAR TEMPLE (UltraMantis Black & Crossbones) & THE BEST AROUND vs. HYDRA, HELIOS, & INCOHERENCE (Delirious & Hallowicked)- 5.75/10. Short but had good action and was very fun.
SOLDIER ANT vs. COLIN DELANEY- 2.5/10. Extremely short, and Soldier Ant basically got squashed
OSIRIAN PORTAL vs. CHEECH & CLOUDY- 6.5/10
ICARUS vs. LARRY SWEENEY- 3.5/10. WAY too short.
MIKE QAUCKENBUSH & TIME DONST vs. THE UNSTABLE (Vin Gerard & STIGMA)- 6.75/10. Great aftermath.
STEEL CAGE MATCH: Claudio Castagnoli vs. Brodie Lee- 7.75/10. Great match.
Overall, this show was slightly disappointing, but definitely has historical significance, with both the cage match and all of the stuff with the UnStable. Worth buying, especially for a big CHIKARA fan, but there are better CHIKARA shows out there.
