Uno:Dasher Hatfield/Player Uno/Yellow Dog over Tim Donst/Hydra/KC Day. Good and strong balance of acting and athletics. Highlights included dasher's "baseballstyle" power offense/dog's comictiming(mix of delirous & cabanna)& donst exploding on partners post-bout in an eerily simliar "jack swagger" way. Hatfield wins with "grandslam". [;D;D;D]
Dos:Brodie Lee/Grizzly Redwood over Northstar Express. Well done,above average match. Fine work by express. Redwood's gimmick fits best here like-a-grizzly-at-a-picnic. Unsure at first with lee but he's learning to blend with fed's style. Roughnecks win by axehandle doomsdaydevice. [;D;D1/2]
Tres:[4Way Tag Dance]FIST over Colony-ONST-Guerrero/Chiva. Verygood,very competitive match for title contention. Icarus seems to have top heelheat. After guerrero/chiva and colony fist wins by distracted roll up on ultramantis black from unknown man-in-white leaving giftwrapped note:"a war is coming". [;D;D;D1/2]
Quatro:Mascarita Dorada over Pierrothito. On paper,booking 2 spanish unknowns for a phillyshow would very easily reinforce cynical indifference. Well,BOY WERE THEY WRONG! This bout somehow created that rare progressive quality of archrivals clashing over years. By the close of this sleepermatch,2 future chikara stars were born. [;D;D;D;D]
Cinco:Jorge Rivera/Mike Quackenbush over Turbo/Frightmare. Extremely fun "lucha clinic" involving chikara's coach(and HIS coach!) "Skayde" is like blend of tito santana & rudyboy gonzalez. Quackendriver on turbo. [;D;D;D1/2]
Seis:Claudio Castagnoli over Eddie Kingston. Very dramatic back-and-forth stiffest. Eddie hits "backfist to the future" & saitosuplex. Claudio uses impact to roll outside. Eddie aims tope but claudio dodges. Claudio rolls back by 19 for countout win.(what made end wrong/confusing is that ref counted eddie from 15 while counting claudio from 1!) [;D;D;D]
Siete:[GoldenDream Triple Trios]Hallowicked/Fire Ant/Arik Cannon over Jigsaw/Helios/Jimmy Olson & Chuck Taylor/Stigma/Vin Gerard. In 3words:SHOW-STOP-PER! Everyone shined like a summer blockbuster showcasing the traits that made chikara such a unique company. TWO "awesome chants" fit perfectly with my sign! [;D;D;D;D1/2]
Ocho:[YLC Finals]Player Dos over Colin Delaney. Aboveaverage-to-good. A supersmash brother enjoying perhaps a career-high solo success vs. a wwe castoff redefining himself in a surprisingly short time. Well balanced back-and-forth until "dos hits tres" with tp rope move to become ylc 7 champion! [;D;D;D]
