Scornucopia

November 20, 2010 ~ Easton, PA

.

~ Gavin Loudspeaker starts off the show with a little song about how much he loves rock & roll…and how much he hates Michael Cole. Right there with you, Gavin.
.
~ Shane “Big Magic” Matthews says he and his partner went to Fiji to regroup, only coming back when promised a Steel Cage Match with Los Ice Creams. Scott “Jagged” Parker says that it’s all lies and brings back Shane, who thought the promo was over. Parker reminds him that they didn’t say “Booya” yet. Wink Vavasseur shows up with Mr. ZERO and some advice for the boys: join forces as Two Point ZERO. Guess Wink doesn’t know about the upgrade. Shane is furious over a past defeat and now he wants ZERO in a cage. Everything breaks down and the four men just say “BOOYA” together! Magnificent.
.
1. Totally Serious Tag Match: 3.0 vs. Los Ice Creams – **3/4
Before things even get underway, Matthews makes some kid almost cry in the front row. Jagged does his best to smooth it over with the poor kid and gets a high five. Shane’s depressed now. Hijo del Ice Cream dekes out Jagged a few times and drops him with a throat chop. He’s sent outside and lands on some kid, who shoves him off. He tries on a fan’s hat and throws it back at him when it doesn’t fit. More stalling from Hijo & Ice Cream Jr. but Matthews stops this with an arm whip. Hijo is consoled by Junior. Matthews drops Hijo with a shoulder tackle, sending him outside to complain. The kid he landed on earlier slaps him. All the commotion causes this kid to actually cry. Good lord. Hijo shakes the kids hand, shakes Bryce’s hand, shakes Junior’s hand and shakes Shane’s as well…only to punch him in the face behind the ref’s back! Matthews is livid so Hijo runs away and grabs a kid in an Ophidian mask named Brandon as a shield. Parker tells Brandon to clock Hijo, so Hijo is once again running away. He raises the hand of a kid in a Los Ice Creams shirt and finally gets back in. Junior tags him and he uses is cone to stab Jagged in the eye. Parker drops him with a leg lariat and 3.0 gets to work. Junior drops Jagged with a boot and the Ice Creams hit their insanely long, insanely awesome tag team combination. Brandon and Hijo are now jawing with one another. Hijo & Junior continue their assault but Jagged finally gets free and drops Hijo with the Rock Bottom! He’s look for the People’s Elbow! Hijo rolls away and Junior eats a Batista Spinebuster. TAG TO BIG MAGIC! Headscissors! And another! HAT TRICK O’ HEADSCISSORS! He says he’s out of moves. He calls for Brandon to enter and 3.0 uses him as a weapon! They dog pile on the Ice Creams! 1…2…3~! 3.0 and Brandon are the winners! Out the door, Hijo kindly asks the crowd to buy his shirt. A lot of the hilarious one-liners and crowd stuff only works live. I can only judge what I actually see and hear, and as it was, I was still pretty darn entertained. Not quite what I expected, but still really fun.
.
~ Buck Hawke lets the Chikaraverse know what he’s been up to since he left Chikara: nothing. Absolutely nothing. He’s taking all of his aggression out on Dasher tonight.
.
2. A Fabulous Return: Buck Hawke vs. Dasher Hatfield – **1/2
Hawke is so much damn fun. Actually, so is Dasher. Hatfield introduces himself to Buck, which confuses the fabulous ginger kid. He knew Create-A-Wrestler, but he’s never met Dasher. They have a pretend game of baseball that Dasher keeps winning. Finally, Buck pegs him with the invisible ball and Dasher gets mad and charges. Hawke drops him with an eye rake but Dasher comes back with a kip up arm wrench. Buck tries it and fails. Dasher helps him and he’s successful. Hatfield then drops him and Hawke eats Dasher’s cleat. Buck dodges a dropkick and plants Dasher with an STO. He continues to try and fail to kip up. Superkick from Dasher sends him outside! Baseball slide to Hawke, who decides he wants to leave. Hatfield calls him a chicken and Buck loses it. Dasher places him up top and looks for the Grand Slam but Hawke blocks and hits the Tribute to Professionalism. 1…2…Dasher kicks out. Chops to Hatfield, a running low dropkick and a nice cradle gets two more. Buck catches boots from Dasher and awkwardly drops on his back. 1…2…Hatfield gets the shoulder up again. Hatfield comes back with softball-style uppercuts but he eats an elbow that bloodies his nose. Corner lariat to Hatfield followed by a slingshot elbow. He looks for a second rope senton, but he misses! Buck ducks an axe handle and…he actually hits one of his own! For the first time ever! He tries for another, but Dasher plants him with a corkscrew neckbreaker. Dasher is s house of fire, dropping Hawke with lariats and a big backdrop. Dasher looks for the Suicide Squeeze, but Buck blocks. Huh, try and say that five times fast. Hawke goes for the TomaHawke, but Dasher blocks. SUICIDE SQUEEZE! 1…2…3! Dasher is victorious and his hometown fans love it. The match itself was pretty fun, and it paid off a lot of jokes in Hawke’s arsenal. Buck was clearly rusty though, and the crowd didn’t always understand what he was doing. Still pretty good though.
.
~ After the match, Grizzly Redwood comes down and makes fun of Brodie Lee for thinking so little of him. See, Dasher Hatfield beat Brodie, but Grizzly beat Dasher. Transitive property: Grizzly thinks he’s proved he’s the man. Brodie Lee comes out…AND KILLS DASHER WITH A BIG BOOT! Brodie & Grizzly embrace! The Roughnecks have reformed! Sugar Dunkerton comes out to help out his Throwback brother and Dasher is LIVID. He grabs a bat and goes to find The Roughnecks!
.
~ C.Red, Willie “Da Bomb” Richardson, Marshe Rockett, Acid Jaz, Dymond and Sugar Dunkerton let the world know that The S & S Express are going to crush the Bruderschaft tonight. Da Soul Touchaz are awesome. Sugar D’s awesome. None of them have any idea which way they should exit the promo.
.
3. 8-Man Tag Match: Sugar Dunkerton & Da Soul Touchaz w/ C.Red vs. Ares, Daizee Haze, Pinkie Sanchez & Tursas – ***1/4
Jakob Hammermeier makes his way to the ring. He’s now got a neck collar, an arm in a sling and a full leg cast. This is outstanding. The Bruderschaft team comes out and Tim Donst is with them to do some commentary. Geez, a year into this feud and we’re finally getting some BDK commentary. No one on the Tecnico side can figure out who to fight, so Sugar has a plan: EVERYBODY HIT SOMEBODY! A huge brawl ensues with Sugar jumping on top of Tursas and Acid Jaz chopping Pinkie into the second row! Back inside, Rockett drops Pinkie with a big dropkick but the BDK soon engulfs him and takes control. After a long beat down, he manages a school boy on Ares. 1…2…Ares kicks out and lariats Rockett back to the mat. They continue to just beat the living crap outta poor Marshe. Tursas goes for a corner avalanche, but Rockett moves! A lungblower sends him outside! Enzuigiri to Ares, Haze is tossed outside and Sugar is tagged in! Dunkerton drops him with punches, a back body drop and the Double Dribble! Ares plants Sugar with a Blue Thunder Bomb but Jaz drops Ares with a top rope seated senton, a series of leg drops and a Spinarooni elbow drop! 1…2…Ares kicks out again. Jaz & Dunkerton double team Ares and covers for another close two. Haze is up top but she claims she’s not gonna do anything to Dunkerton. Sugar says he, like, so totally over Haze so she jumps. He catches her and dodges some slaps. Ares & Pinkie accidentally run into her and Big Willie finally gets in! Corner avalanche to the BDK! Ares & Pinkie are both dumped and Daizee bails, but Dymond throws her back inside! WILLIE’S CALLING FOR THE POUNCE! He runs, but Tursas blocks him and now we have a big battle of heavyweights. They trade elbows and both go for a high crossbody but it ends in a stalemate. Pinkie accidentally dropkicks Willie into Tursas, sending him crashing to the outside! Pinkie looks to dive, but Acid drops him with a headkick! 1…2…Pinkie kicks out. Jaz goes for a uranage but Sanchez counters into Nakayubi! Sanchez looks to for a moonsault block as Marshe rolls out Jaz. Pinkie sloppily does a moonsault but Rocket catches him with the M-80 Ace Crusher! 1…2…3! Da Soul Touchaz remain perfect again the Bruderschaft with the help of Sugar Dunkerton. This once again featured a much longer than necessary heat segment, but all the interactions were really, really strong. The finish was a good idea executed poorly, but Da Soul Touchaz are undeniable. Really good showing.
.
~ Lince Dorado is backstage and quickly joined by Tim Donst, who just happens to mention that the BDK are a little shaky about…Donst says it doesn’t matter.  Timothy D is on Lince’s side and he says he will ensure a victory for the BDK. Planted seeds, this did.
.
4. Young Lions Cup: Frightmare© vs. Lince Dorado w/ Tim Donst – ***1/2
Well, the BDK’s Derek Sabato is once again the referee so it’s an exact rematch of the Young Lions Cup VIII tournament finals. Sabato is wearing glasses for some reason. Fans go absolutely nuts for Frightmare when he comes out. Lince attacks at the bell and the crowd is not pleased. He accidentally chops the ring post but keeps control back inside. The two men do some really nice lucha moves with Lince dropping Frightmare with a crossbody. Frightmare comes back with a nice step up huracanrana, sending Dorado into the corner. Sabato calls a timeout for Dorado! They give him some water and he attacks Frightmare, who hits an assisted rana and a popped up clothesline. Frightmare tries to call a timeout this time, but now Sabato says that they don’t exist. Hallowicked runs down and throws the red flag to challenge! Sabato say the ruling on the field stands. BOOO! Yakuza Kick from Frightmare and he looks to dive but Donst stops him! Lince with a superkick from behind sends Frightmare out. Suicide dive to Frightmare! Back inside, Lince is in control once again. Frightmare gets a sunset flip. 1………Sabato says he glasses are smudged! This gives Dorado time to clock Frightmare with a boot and celebrate with a one foot pin. 1-2-Frightmare kicks out of a fast count. A senton gets another fast two. Frightmare spikes Lince on his head with a snap rana and both men are down! Frightmare lays into Dorado and plants him with a sick reverse rana and follows up by diving onto Lince on the floor! Back inside, Frightmare hits a handspring, back rolling satellite DDT and covers…but Sabato is busy on his phone! TALKING TO DONST! Good frickin’ lord. Rollup by Lince! 1-2-Frightmare kicks out! The two trade kip up reversals and Frightmare drops him with a neckbreaker. 1…2…Lince kicks out of a standard two count as opposed to a super slow one. And now we see why: Wink Vavasseur, executive auditor, is now walking around ringside. Sabato’s gotta be on his best behavior! Lionsault to Frightmare. 1…2…Frightmare kicks out! Lince’s pissed about there being no fast count. Frightmare dives off the top but Lince catches him with a spike Michinoku Driver! He heads north…Shooting Star Press connects! 1…2…Frightmare kicks out again! Lince locks on the Inverted Chikara Special and Frightmare is in trouble! Somehow, Frights manages to get a hand on the bottom rope, and Sabato forces Lince to break the hold. The crowd chants that Lince can’t beat Frightmare and he starts to lose it. Frightmare with a crucifix bomb! Made In Japan! 1…2…Dorado kicks out! KNEECOLEPSY! 1…2…3! Frightmare retains and, in a shocker, it was Sabato, under the watchful eye of Wink, who counted the fall. This was flipping awesome. To my knowledge, nothing was botched or even handled badly. Now, I’m not just measuring the wrestling itself here. The sum total, with Hallowicked running down to challenge, Sabato taking a damn phone call during a match, Wink making his presence known and a really hot crowd, was outstanding. I’m probably rating this higher than most, but I don’t care. This was the most fun wrestling match I’ve seen in a while, and with a little better finish, I would’ve gone even higher.
.
5. Blast from the Past 8-Man Tag: UltraMantis Black, Jolly Roger, Dragonfly & Mr. ZERO vs. Icarus, Lance Steel, Darkness Crabtree & Rorschach – ***3/4
Everyone gets a really nice ovation when they come out…expect for Icarus. He gets boos, jeers and a “Worst in the World” chant. Out of everyone, the biggest reactions were to UltraMantis Black, who came out holding the mask from his pre-ONST days, and the returning Mister ZERO, who starts first against Icarus. The always classy Ick bails and Darkness Crabtree rolls in. Crabtree pulls on ZERO’s comb-over, eats a hard shoulder tackle and has trouble rolling over for ZERO to jump over him. He gets to his feet and eats an armdrag followed by a series of head smashes in the corner. ZERO whips Crabtree into the opposite corner but he’s taking forever to get there. ZERO runs around him, goes to the second rope and dropkicks him out of the ring! Lance Steel & UltraMantis enter. Mantis goes for a chop and a backrake, but just hurts himself on Lance’s armor. He eats some hard chops but comes back by attacking the non-armored parts of Steel. Ick and Dragonfly are in next. Ick is backed into a corner and complains that DF cheated. Dragonfly takes him down with a monkey flip, an armdrag, a back elbow and a dropkick, sending Icarus outside. Dragonfly does a no-hands dive to Ick on the outside, mostly just crashing into the empty chairs! Yikes. Rorschach and Jolly Roger are the last two guys in and they do some really nice lucha moves to the chant of “Yar-Yar! Yar-Yar!”, which is just amazing. Icarus goes to attack Roger, who stops him…and everyone does the M-Pro spot! YAAAY! Gavin credits it as “classic Chikara”. He frustrates me sometimes. Icarus locks on a leg choke, Lance turns them over with a Crab, DF locks on a front headlock, Rory applies a, Octopus hold, Mantis applies a cravate and Mister ZERO looks to apply his signature camel clutch, but old man Crabby steals his newspaper and heads to the bathroom! Steel drops Roger with a hard punch to the face and the Rudo team goes to work on Jolly. Icarus just dismantles him and covers. 1…2…Jolly kicks out. Crabtree shows back up at some point as Roger drops Steel with a crazy spin kick. He tags in ZERO, who takes out everyone! He locks the camel clutch on Steel and invites Bryce to read the paper with him! Ick breaks up the submission with a headlock and everyone’s got headlocks on everyone else except Crabtree. A stunner to UltraMantis sends everyone flying! It’s just UltraMantis and Icarus left in, the two captains. UltraMantis counters a Shiranui with a back suplex and Praying Mantis Bomb! 1…2…No! Icarus kicks out. Shiranui to Mantis, release German Suplex from Zero to Ick and a Sweatergree to ZERO from Crabtree! 1…2…ZERO kicks out! Lance hits a rolling fireman’s carry, a senton and tries to lock on the Boston Crab. Roger blocks it and hits a very slop leg-trapped DDT. 1…2…Rorschach breaks it up and eats a sick swinging DDT from Dragonfly. DF misses a huge splash and Rorschach hit a series of Northern Lights Suplexes for two. ZERO goes for a powerbomb on Steel but gets back into the corner. Icarus is trying to pull ZERO’s mask off! DF and Mantis climb onto Steel’s back go for a double top rope superplex, but Crabtree & Rorschach come over and grab them both, executing a HUGE five-man Tower of Doom! Frog Splash from Jolly to Icarus! 1…2…Rorschach breaks it up. ZERO clotheslines Rory out, leaving it himself and Jolly, the two men whose careers were ended by Icarus, alone in the ring. Steel pulls ZERO outside and Roger looks for the Walk the Plank. Crabtree distracts Bryce and Icarus low-blows Jolly! BLU-RAY FROM ICARUS! 1…2…3! Icarus is a winner, along with Steely, Crabby & Rory. I may never get to type that sentence again, so I’m glad I got it in now. After the match, ZERO went after Ick but he escaped. All four Tecnicos got a huge ovation at the end for their efforts, and it was well-deserved. This defied all expectations I had for it. Honestly, I thought this would have a good chance of sucking. It didn’t. IT ROCKED. Once again, I’m probably overrating things here, but I’ll chuck my snowballs how I please! And yes, I meant “snowballs”. Ever try and throw a snowflake? IMPOSSIBLE.
.
6. Tag Team Challenge: The Osirian Portal vs. Obariyon & Kodama – ***
Amasis & Kodama starts things off with some back and forth. Amasis gets the better, does a little dance and slaps the taste outta Kodama’s mouth. Ophidian & Obariyon in now, with Ophidian also getting the better of his green-faced opponent. Kodama comes in to break up a submission hold and Green Team takes over. I’m just gonna keep making up names for them, mostly involving their face paint. The Poison Pals hit a sick double team knee strike to ground this year’s RDV winner once again. Ophidian dodges an Obariyon attack and Kodama is knocked off the apron. Ophidian ducks yet another strike and doves out onto Kodama, bringing in Amasis! He takes down Obariyon with a huge spinebuster and they brawl outside. The Portal hit a double back body drop on Obariyon on the hard floor and give the same early Christmas gift to Kodama, who lands on his nefarious neon partner! Back inside, Amasis goes for the 450 Splash but Obariyon blocks and drops him with the sickest lungblower EVER. Damn. Lyme Tyme works over the back of Amasis, isolating him the same way they did Ophidian. After a long work over, Obariyon drills Amasis with a stiff punch but Amasis drops him with a roaring elbow and makes the tag to Ophidian! He is immediately tossed to the outside as The Grass-assins laugh about it. Obariyon is low bridged by Amasis and he crushed him with a flying shoulder tackle from the apron! Ophidian drops Kodama inside with double knees and a roundhouse kick! Kodama gets knees up to the still injured arm of Ophidian, but he misses a slingshot moonsault. Missile dropkick to Kodama! 1…2…Kodama gets the shoulder up. Death Grip is locked in! Kodama tries to break the hold but he can’t! Obariyon comes in and…eventually…plants Ophidian with Chaos Theory. The Viridian Vagabonds hit a big corner double team move and Obariyon covers. 1…2…Amasis breaks it up and tries to take on both guys. Obariyon eats an elbow but Kodama drops him with a leg lariat. Ophidian dropkicks Kodama and…he may be out. He is pushed to the side as The Portal focuses on Obariyon. The set up for the Pyramid Plex but Kodama breaks it up and plants Ophidian with an Implant DDT variant. Everyone gets confused for a second until Obariyon destroys Amasis with an apron Deep Impact! Good lord! Ophidian gets a roll-up! 1…2…Kodama kicks out. They exchange really stiff strikes but Ophidian gets the better with a roundhouse kick. After yet another sloppy exchange, Kodama hits a double foot lungblower and Obariyon comes off the top with Deep Impact. 1…2…3! ObKo gets the surprise dubya over Amasis & Ophidian. This started off very, very well and ended somewhat disappointingly, most likely due to Kodama getting knocked the fuggout. Everyone played their roles well and the strikes, other than the half-hearted ones at the end, were pretty darn stiff. Despite the shaky finish, this was still really good. For the record, Obariyon is a lot more polished than Kodama but they’re still very good together.
.
7. Golden Dream 8-Man Elimination Match: Jigsaw, Hallowicked, Arik Cannon & Fire Ant vs. Vin Gerard, STIGMA, Tim Donst & Max Boyer – ***1/4
Vin is looking fit as hell. I mean, I knew he was doing a great job losing weight, but he looks phenomenal, as does Icarus. Kudos to both guys. STIGMA, well…hey, the UnStable are using a red & blue color combination scheme again now that there’s no Equinox! Boyer is looking quite fit, too. The Tecnicos come out and Jigsaw is already limping. Not good. Jigsaw & Donst start things off. I just noticed that Jig is wearing actual tights now, all tucked into his boots and everything. How long’s he been doing that? Jigsaw crushes Donst with strikes and tags in Fire Ant. Donst escapes and Vin Gerard comes in wanting a handshake to bury the hatchet but Fire Ant’s smarter than that. They both do some really sloppy lucha and Donst mercifully stops it. Hallowicked gets in but he’s dumped by STIGMA. He and Arik Cannon trade big strikes until STIGMA bails and Cannon chases. It’s now Hallowicked against Max Boyer. They trade chops and Wicked sends him outside with a step up kick to the face. Donst enters and works over Wicked’s nipples. The Rudo side comes running a Hallowicked one by one, but he dodges the last attack from Gerard, allowing the Tecnico side to do the same. Gerard dropkicks Jig in the injured leg, allowing the Rudos to regain control. They mess up Jig’s leg for quite a while before he finally gets free and in tags Fire Ant, who destroys Boyer with the Yahtzee Kick and Burning Down the House! Boyer manages to dump Fire Ant and follow him outside with a punch. He pushes Bryce out of the way to do so. Now everyone’s diving and Donst tosses Bryce to the ground so he can dive. Bryce has to dodge Hallowicked and STIGMA who just barely miss running into him while diving to the outside. He warns Vin and Fire Ant not to dive…so they run past him and dive out onto everybody! Now Bryce goes to the top! BRYCE FLIP SENTONS EVERYONE ON THE FLOOR!!! OH MY!!! The crowd chants that he’s hardcore as Fire Ant and STIGMA get back inside. Fire Ant gets a head of steam but Donst slides in and plants him with an STO. 1…2…3! Fire Ant is eliminated. Hallowicked enters and both guys start brawling and Wicked chops him out of the ring. Wicked drops STIGMA with a step up rana, Gerard drops Wicked with a crappy 2K1 Bomb, Jigsaw plants Vin with a brainbuster and Boyer gets a bridging fisherman suplex on Jig but Cannon breaks up the count before one. The two trade reversals and Cannon drops him with Total Anarchy! Glimmering Warlock! 1…2…3! Boyer is gone. Donst catches Cannon with an STO! 1…2…3! Now “The Anarchist” is gone, too! As Donst celebrates, Hallowicked catches him from behind with a school boy! 1…2…3! Donst is eliminated, leaving it Jig & Wicked against The UnStable! Donst drops Wicked with an STO before exiting and Gerard covers. 1…2…Wicked kicks out! The UnStable double teams Wicked and covers for yet another two. Hallowicked manages an O’Conner roll for two and the kickout propels him right to Jigsaw for a tag! He takes out Vin with a swinging DDT and covers. 1…2…Gerard kicks out. Vin blocks a superkick and tosses Jig to SITGMA, who catches him with a bridging German Suplex! 1…2…Jigsaw gets the shoulder up. STIGMA goes for a face wash but Hallowicked drops him with a Yakuza Kick. Gerard rolls up Wicked. 1…2…Hallowicked kicks out. Elbows from Gerard! Yakuza from Wicked! Running elbow from Gerard! Rydeen Bomb from Hallowicked! 1…2…3! Gerard is eliminated. STIGMA drops Wicked and calls to the Tombstone Piledriver. Superkick from Jigsaw! Two more drop STIGMA! 1…2…3! Jigsaw & Hallowicked are the last two men standing in the Elimination Match. This one is tough to rate. There was a lot of sloppiness in this, even more so than the match that preceded it. The dives, outside of Bryce’s epic senton, were really uninspired and the crowd reaction was not great for them. However, the ending stretch with the eliminations, while at times hurried, felt very satisfying. What wasn’t satisfying was The UnStable falling to two moves that even the crowd thought shouldn’t have beat them. In the end, I am left a little disappointed in this match. I absolutely LOVE elimination matches, so this gets a friendly star bump because of that.

Overall – 7.25 / 10

Some of you probably want to hang me right now. I’ve already heard people say this is one of the most entertaining shows this year. I’m not going to argue that. You could put together quite an enticing music video of the amazing moments on this DVD. However, I felt underwhelmed by large portions of this show. The last two matches, The Portal vs. Team Discovery Channel and the Elimination Match, did not live up to live reports or the potential of the competitors. Hawke/Dasher was okay and 3.0/Ice Creams was a little better. However, S&S/BDK was a ton of fun, Dorado/Frightmare was surprisingly awesome and the Blast from the Past eight-man tag was better than I ever could have dreamed. What this show has going for it is two matches that I would watch again in a heartbeat. The show itself, while quite lengthy, is never dull and delivers on the promise made by Leonard F. Chikarason: fun funny fun-fun.

The All-Important M’s

Match: With a little longer, more satisfying finishing stretch, The Young Lions Cup match probably would’ve been it. However, the Blast from the Past eight-man did deliver an action-packed melee that few past every caveat I could conjure. It was even better than the main event, which was full of great athletes and guys still on the roster. This was not only a better wrestling match, but it was really funny and had a lot of nostalgia going for it, too.
Move: I can’t believe it, but its Bryce’s flip senton onto the former Young Lions Cup holders. It’s not that I’m surprised that it won; after all, it got perhaps the biggest pop of the night. I’m just tickled that I get to choose the senior referee for All-Important Move. That’s a first and probably a last.
Moment: Now how the hell am I supposed to choose this?! Is it 3.0 using Brandon as a weapon? Big Willie threatening to Pounce the diminutive Daizee Haze? Every single thing Derek Sabato was doing in the YLC match? Not one person would blame me for choosing any of these, but I’m going to go with something else: the entrances for the Blast from the Past tag match. Everyone got really well-deserved responses, especially Mister ZERO. He was phenomenal in the contest and genuinely appreciate him showing up for what may be the final time.
MVP: This is even harder to call than the Moment! Hmmm…gosh, only one name really jumps out at me. That’s a fitting phrasing, as he also won All-Important Move as well. Yep, I’m talking about Bryce. He is the guar gum that holds the Chikara gelato together. His commentary on Dorado/Frights was amazing, especially his reaction to Sabato’s challenge ruling. He is, quite simply, the man.

– Please leave any comments or questions you might have and I’ll do my best to respond with as much ravenous Portuguese dirty talk as I can conjure. I’d like to do a contest or something cool like that, but I’m not sure how much interest there’d be. Let you voice be heard! Also, let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see in the column, like fantasy booking, treasure hunts, wish-lists, secret handshakes, etc.
