Just got back from this show here's a run down.
1. Green Ant def Mike Quackenbush by submission with an inverted Chikara special. Looked like Quackenbush was going to nail Green Ant with a closed fist after the match but didn't 2. Dasher Hatfield came out and introduced Mr. Touchdown as the newest member of the Throwbacks 3. Jigsaw def Kolbald 4. Gran Akuma def Icarus by count out. Greg Irons came out attacked Akuma and the match was declared a double count out. Dont think anyone saw this coming 5. 3.0 def Tim Donst and Jakob Hammermier getting thier second point 6. Hallowicked def Archibald Peck. Veronica upset that Peck lost the match 7. Ophidian (introduced as formerly of the Osirian Portal) came out with a new look carrying his old mask and the mask he took from Amasis. Ophidian defeated Heiracon and then unmasked him as well. 8. Vin Gerad made an appearence and contronted Eddie Kingston ( working the announce table). They took the fight outside and down the hallway. 7. Fire and Soldier def The Batiri for point number ?
Overall a great show

I just watched Chikara's High Noon DVD and it was really great stuff. I have to admit that I have not seen a ton of Chikara stuff, but it had a great mix of stuff. I have definately watched a TON of ROH and a good amount of PWG, but this was well worth the time.

Championship Match 2/3 Falls Ultra Mantis Black and Hallowicked vs Gargano and Taylor I'm calling UMB and Hallowicked!
First Time Ever Sarah Del Rey vs Archibald Peck SDR wins after Veronica walk out.
Relevos Atomicos Kingston, Iron, 3.0 vs Donst, Hammermier, Obariyon, Kodma This will easily be Kingston, Iron, and 3.0!
One On One Colt Cabana vs Kobald I'd like to see Kobald win here.
Block B Combatants Finally Meet Brodie Lee vs Jigsaw I want Brodie to decapitate Jigsaw with a Big Boot.
Points In Play Fire and Soldier Ant vs The Throwbacks (Hatfield, Mr. Touchdown) Fire and Soldier Ant, but I expect to see Mr. Touchdown get a lot of action).
Submission Showdown Green Ant vs Ophidian I want Ophidian to rise as the top heel in Season 11, even though Green Ant is my hero!
I hope SMV has the download available ASAP.

This was my first full show to own, so I had very high expectations. Sadly, I've mostly watched CHIKARA through YouTube, so match highlight videos can make you feel like every match is superb, lighting-fast action. This was not the case here, but I still had fun none the less.
When it comes to Gavin's intro song, it was fun. I can't knock that. I didn't love it it, but I think that was because it just kept going. Anyway, I love how CHIKARA can appeal to families and kids as well as smarks. However, now I see why so many have said they wouldn't buy every show from CHIKARA. Not every show is going to be superamazingdeathkillawesome. I give this show **1/2 out of *****.
1. Green Ant vs. Mike Quackenbush - This was probably my favorite match of the show, even though I'm not a huge Quackenbush fan. I love what he has done, I just don't care for his character. Anyway, I'm not huge on submission-roll-on-the-mat-exchange-holds type guy, but this match had me on the edge of my recliner. I kept wondering who would come out on top, who would get the finish. Sadly, I read spoilers; had I not done so, I would have gone nuts. I love Green Ant. He is truly a technical beast.
2. Introduction of Mr. Touchdown - Dasher's promo was flawless. I love his character. Mr. Touchdown? I'll have to wait to see him in the ring. I don't really care for the character, but that may be because I miss Sugar D already.
3. Jigsaw vs. Kolbald - Really wanted Kobald to win. Slow match with a few cool spots.
4. Gran Akuma vs. Icarus - Icarus's humor blew me away. I love it. I hope he wins this feud against Akuma. Iron? Interesting. Not sure where this is going. I would have enjoyed a match, but Icarus alone made this segment.
5. 3.0 vs. Tim Donst and Jakob Hammermier - Donst needs to be a single. 3.0 need to be CdP champs! Hammermier needs to break away from Donst and become a face. He's pretty funny. I think Hammermier could be like the Alex Riley of CHIKARA, minus sucking and being pulled off shows. 3.0, who we really needs cards for, are just a fun tag team that has paid their dues. It is time for their first title run.
6. Hallowicked vs. Archibald Peck - Peck would make a good face one day. I felt he was the best part of the match, but the wrestling felt like they were practicing. The match, well, a lot of the matches on this card didn't really flow.
7. Ophidian vs. Heiracon - Okay, I may make people mad here, but this was boring. It had a few cool spots, but the little-guy-doing-the-elbow-strike-puro-style is boring. I hate when you see like Green Ant elbow strike Tarsus. Really? I felt Heiracon just walked around the ring. Ophidian's head-bump-strikes didn't even look real. Maybe I'm watching too much puro, but I just felt these guys were off. The match died down every time they went into a strike-fest. These lightweight guys need to keep moving and wrestle as lightweights. They are not Chris Hero, Eddie Kingston, CC, Tursas, or Brodie Lee.
I have not watched the final match.
Lastly, the indies are killing me with the puro-strike-battles. It makes WWE's striking look a thousand times better, more real. However, I am not bashing CHIKARA.

There had been some chance of my meeting a friend and going to this show tonight but alas it's not happening. We went to Easton last year. It was a pretty good show the only matched that sucked was Peck vs Darkness Crab Tree. The bonus match was the Batiri, Tim Donst and Hammermeir vs Crossbones and a bunch of other guys from Chikara season 3 I didn't know. At intermission Mike Quackenbush came out thanked everyone for supporting Chikara for ten years and gave everyone a piece of canvas from the ring they used at last years King Of Trios. I managed to get quite a few autographs on it which was pretty cool. The big announcement was this years King Of Trios will be in Easton for all three nights.
