King of Trios Night Two DVD Review

-Taped from Easton, PA

-Your hosts are of numerous members of the Chikara roster and staff… and Denver Colorado

-Sugar Dunkerton tries to cut a promo, but Icarus says FIST gets to tell him to do whatever whenever. He says if Dunkerton helps them, they’ll then help him. IS ANYONE ELSE NOTICING WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? Icarus says they’re going to run wild.

Match in Five Words or Less: Chikara Replacement Refs?

Match Highlights: Crowd is behind JWP for obvious reasons. Gargano teases starting but instead it’s Icarus who begins with Yoneyama. Cross body but Icarus slams her down. She bridges out. Cross body of her own gets two. Knee by Icarus. Off comes the jacket and he’s still wearing the “Best in the World” shirt. Yoneyama rolls underneath and hits a boot in the face. Gargano comes into meet with Bolshoi. Gargano takes her in the corner. He flips and poses. Shoulder tackle but Bolshoi kips up. Rinse, lather, repeat. Armdrag and a chop by Bolshoi. Gargano rolls out. Kuragaki gets to match with Taylor. Kuragaki asserts her power advantage immediately.  Kick by Taylor. Kurgaki reverses a vertical suplex into one of her own. Taylor with a kick to the midsection. Icarus and Gargano help him out. Triple teams. Icarus ends it with a running clothesline. Kuragaki comes back with clotheslines on all three members. Yoneyama with a double stomp. Kuragaki sends each of her partners on Icarus in much the same fashion as last night. Taylor has to break the count. FIST retreats and has a pow wow on the outside. Forearms by Yoneyama. Taylor tries tripping her but she counters. Gargano superkicks her. The look on his face after he does it is tremendous. FIST works Yoneyama over. Icarus actually keeps his shirt on temporarily. He takes it off before kissing Yoneyama in the corner. Release German suplex prevents further sexual harassment. Taylor and Bolshoi come in. Bolshoi with a headscissors. Asai moonsault to Taylor and Gargano on the floor. Icarus with a boot on Kuragaki. Back drop driver prevented by Gargano.

Dunkerton accidentally nails Yoneyama with Icarus’s fanny pack. Referee actually saw this, so we have another botched finish by the referee. Taylor applies the half crab. Yoneyama is out.

Match Analysis: Amazing the best match of the tournament so far happens in the opening quarterfinal match. Very enjoyable with quality action where both teams played their roles to perfection. Too bad the referee, who was not the same as the one who blew the finish in last night’s botched finish, either wasn’t informed of what was to happen or didn’t divert his eyes long enough to not what see what happened. The fact that this happened twice over one of Chikara’s biggest weekend is disturbing. Great match otherwise.

Winner (s)/Time/Match Rating/Entertainment Rating: Icarus, Johnny Gargano, Chuck Taylor/12:59/***1/2/***1/2

-Mark Angelosetti says he’s been on a roll before and after winning the Young Lion’s Cup. Everyone is talking about Mr. Touchdown now. Angelosetti says to drink tuna juice to look like him. Apparently, a lot of people fail. He says he’s going to go all the way. AND IT’S GOOD!

Match in Five Words or Less: Not Exactly The Generico Match

Match Highlights: After Angelosetti lost in the first round of Trios, this is obviously a huge opportunity for him to wrestle a guy like Sean Waltman. Crowd is surprisingly split. Some stalling to begin. Angelosetti is rather excitable. Headlock by Angelosetti. Kid flips over and hits an armdrag. Kid headlock. Angelosetti sends him off. Shoulder tackle by Kid. Hip toss. Angelosetti sent in the corner. Bronco buster ducked. Headbutts to the back. Snapmare. Running forearm to the head. Kid punches out of a suplex attempt. Spin kick. Angelosetti sent outside. Dive hits. Kid climbs up for some punches in the corner. Angelosetti shoves the referee, low blows Kid and spinebusters him as Hatfield takes care of a fallen Veronica.

Match Analysis: Just a quickie match to give Angelosetti some momentum back after last night. Wish this could have gone longer considering how good Angelosetti has been lately, but the right guy won and good on Waltman for putting him over. Action was fine with the time given.

Winner (s)/Time/Match Rating/Entertainment Rating: Mark Angelosetti/4:14/*1/2/**

-Kid thanks the crowd and vows he’ll be back tomorrow. Hmmm.

Match in Five Words or Less: My Bracket Is Done

Match Highlights: A lot of people had this as their finals. Most of us forgot about the word “quarter” that could have come before it. The brawl starts right away as all the actual participants are outside. Ophidian is in the ring. In the ring as the Batiri maintains control. Envoy holds onto the ropes.

Mantis covers AND GETS THREE!

The match may be over, but Ophidian spits in the face of Mantis. Beatdown! Beatdown! We have a beatdown! They focus on Frightmare’s surgically repaired knee. Things don’t look so good for The Spectral Envoy.

Match Analysis: At least we didn’t have a botched finish from one Daniel Yost this time. The quarterfinals definitely has a feeling of greater intensity and a bit more cohesiveness to it. There is still some sloppiness, but it definitely feels like a bigger than normal Chikara event. Solid action all around and quite the upset if you ask me. Putting the Batiri over in so many matches before the tournament turned out to be quite the twist. However, if one team was going to beat the Batiri and win this thing, it really should be a team with Ultramantis Black on it.

Winner (s)/Time/Match Rating/Entertainment Rating:  Ultramantis Black, Hallowicked, and Frightmare/11:41/***1/4/***/2

Match Analysis: I’m a little surprised by how much the crowd seemed to dislike the ant spray being used. This was a solid little match with a lot of comedy involved… obviously. Great to see a different version of Osaka Pro still manage to entertain the crowd and put on quality matches.  Considering how much more important this tournament is going to get, I’m less inclined to criticize for too much comedy. I have a feeling, things are about to get serious.

Jigsaw doesn’t even stay around to shake his opponents’ hands. He leaves abruptl.

Match Analysis: What an effort by all six people. The Sendai Girls’ performances have been spectacular every time I’ve seen them and this was no exception. Great 13 minutes of action and wrestling. There was even some nice storyline stuff as Quack’s lack of focus led to him striking his own partner and then ultimately being pinned. Everything made sense and this was the best match of the tournament so far.

Match Analysis: Tatanka is one of those veteran guys who fits in right with Chikara, and bringing him for these sorts of events wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world. This was not a great wrestling match, but Dunkerton elevated his performance and Tatanka wrestled like he cared. The “Please come back” chants were well deserved for the veteran.

-Young Bucks make fun of Tommy Dreamer. Mike Bennett stands on the sideline. He talks ROH being cool now and how they should focus on Lynn. None of the three men see the irony in picking on Lynn or what he used to be in Ring of Honor.

Match Analysis: I feel like I enjoyed this match a lot more than others will. There was a lot of good action and fun stuff from both teams. I admit to having an intense bias towards the Bucks but they really seemed to bring out the best in the Extreme Trio. Scorpio and Lynn can absolutely still go, and they didn’t look out of place in an indy wrestling ring. How no one ever thought of putting the Jacksons and Bennett together before is beyond me. They’re like magic together. Awesome stuff here.

-Eddie Kingston talks about where he went wrong in wrestling before showing off his championship belt. This belt helps keep him going. He talks about Tadasuke and becoming an aminal again.

Match in Five Words or Less: Stiff

Match Highlights:  Tadasuke coming in with last year’s Young Lion’s Cup is like a bad joke. Has there ever been a less significant show in the history of Chikara than last year’s Young Lion’s Cup one? Extended feeling out process. Shoulder tackles go nowhere. Clothesline misses. Kingston finally takes him down with a shoulder tackle and he grabs a side headlock. Tadasuke with a chop. Kingston lays in one of his own. Chops by Tadasuke. Knee and swinging neckbreaker. Modified dragon sleeper. Tadasuke reaches the bottom rope. Kingston with a tope suicida to the floor. Forearm. Tadasuke tossed back inside. Headbutt by the challenger. Kingston takes him up and over. Back elbow. Running knee strike to the side of the head of the champion. Tadasuke with a series of chops to the back of the neck. Running knee drop… again on the neck. Stomp to the back. Kingston chops back. Right hands to the face followed by slaps. Choking along the middle rope. Kingston comes out chopping. Tadasuke looks happy about. Chop exchange. They kneel and engage in a slap exchange. Tadasuke comes out on top. Bodyslam and leg drop. Chinlock. Elbow to the  neck. Kingston does a fantastic job selling his injuries. Chop exchange once again. To the forearms. Back to the chops. Kingston with a series of them. Rolling forearm. 1-2-NO! The champion actually bites his tape off. Tadasuke with shots to the neck. Belly-to-belly suplex. Chop in the corner. Tadasuke reveres a whip and hits an elbow. Running boot. Roll-up for two. Hard forearm. 1-2-NO! Tadasuke revs up. Dragon suplex gets two. Backfist to the future blocked.  LARIAT!

Backfist to the Future connects again. Sliding D to the back. Back drop driver. 1-2-3! Kingston retains in a really hard fought match.

Match Analysis: Know what would have been nice? To see Tadasuke actually come back and defend the cup because if this match was any indication, they would have been some quality defenses. I loved this match a lot. Great wrestling and brawling with Tadasuke working over the neck and controlling the neck for most of the contest. I can’t help but think that this match also suffered from the same illness that has befallen Kingston’s title defenses, the lack of drama for who is about to win. We really need Chikara to come up with a way for people to earn title defenses so that we don’t end up with random matches that you have to stretch in order to make sense. Regardless, this was borderline outstanding.

Winner (s)/Time/Match Rating/Entertainment Rating: STILL Grand Champion-Eddie Kingston/20:20/***3/4/****

-Tim Donst comes out afterward and talks about not being happy ever since Hallowicked defeated him at the iPPV. He talks about smiling because of Kingston being down. Donst says Kingston is everything wrong with professional wrestling. Donst feels he’s being held down. Charge by Kingston. STDonst., Kingston is a monster and a beast. There is no karma in professional wrestling. Karma doesn’t exist in professional wrestling, but Tim Donst does. Well, that’s an ominous note to end things on. Kingston wants to know where Wink is and even tells Gavin Loudspeaker to shut up.

The Verdict: Night two was better than night one, so this is an even more clear thumbs up. The quarterfinals were significantly stronger than the first round, even taking the botched finish into account. Kingston and Tadasuke is a must see matches, and the rest of the card featured a number of highlights. This also seemed to have a better balance between storyline and match quality.
