How cool is Chikara?

I had the opportunity to go to their live show near Atlanta GA last and was not disappointed.
It was not only a great show but sold out to Standing room only.

During the intermission numerous wrestlers were out hawking their Merch (including some who were present but not wrestling that evening).

By the end of the night I had gotten 22 of my cards signed (I got everyone there except the Batiri and Akuma, though I did get Kobald).

Most of them did not know about the cards directly and Sugar Dunkerton had the best reaction to them "Wow man, I look really cut in that illustration! That is a dream goal for me, I need to figure out how to look that good"

So I would like to say thank you to Chikara for being such a fantastic promotion and to Filsinger games for giving the fans a great way to enjoy the experience and every now and then share it with the wrestlers themselves.

That is great you were able to get so many cards signed. I only have a handful signed myself.

I brought all my cards with the performers for the night in a spate stack, but as I saw opportunities I went for it.
The hardest one to get was Gavin as he was always so busy.

Green Ant had the new Wrestlecon card and Bryce had some of his card but that was it for any available there.

Gavin sure must have been busy! He's the most supportive FG loyalist on the Chikara roster.. I will wager he has more GWF memorabilia from the 80s and 90s than you and I combined. Of course my fiancée was very surprised to see him announcing the NPWD show as she had previously met him outside of wrestling hanging out with other COTG folks.
