So Wednesdays is already a bit of a wrestling cornucopia and you may be wondering, how do I fit all these shows in even without there being more to offer... But Chikara have joined the fray and as a smitten fan I want you to know that it's worth the time!

From Wednesday, July 29, for six weeks Chikara will be bringing their own brand of whacky professional wrestling to the Wednesday Wrestling block. It will stream live on their youtube as well as their own site via Chikaratopia. It will start at 7pm ET time, before NXT/Ring of Honor/Lucha Underground, so you wont be missing anything there.

I'm not asking for everyone to tune in, I appreciate that like most wrestling it will have its fans and some might not be enthused... but as someone who's followed this company around internationally (soon) I can happily tell you, that my bias aside, Journey into Chikara will provide you with high action, entertaining match ups which will aim to astound you and ultimately leave you feeling like that fresh faced youngster who watched the television screens in awe.

I know the costumes and characters look weird...there's a guy with a baseball for a head, wrestling ice cream cones, a group of man-sized ants and the Grand Champion is essentially a brainwashed Pumpkin King swearing devotion to the undead forces of Nazmaldun... but it works. Every single person involved with Chikara is fully invested 100% - they live it, they embrace themselves and it shows.

So what do I ask of you?

I know you can get Wrestling Burnout just trying to keep up with Wednesdays, and why should you add a new show to your already busy schedule?

Well I'm not asking for you to watch religiously, I just hope you check it out. If not just to dip your toe into the wonderful whacky world of Chikara, but to show founder/head booker/owner Mike Quackenbush that the demand is there.

Show him that it's wanted and we can help make Chikara grow. And if you're still unsure about it all, go to their YouTube channel, check out the Podcast-A-Go-Gos, the free matches (espeically the staff picks featuring folks named Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castignoli, Sara Del Rey and Brody Lee that you might recognize)...there's tons of them up there, check them out, see what Chikara is about!

Thank you for your time once more cSs, if anyone has any further queries or questions please leave a comment and I'll try and help!
