Ashley Remington
Remington is the nephew of CHIKARA fan favorite Lester “Darkness” Crabtree, whose life came to an unceremonious end when the GEKIDO attacked both him and Jervis Cottonbelly on what would end up being Wrestling is Intense’s final show. When he passed, Remington inherited Crabtree’s vast wealth, but was instructed that he bringsthe integrity and lifestyle that comes with such a massive fortune. Remington wasn’t sure what to make of this request, but ultimately decided to take to the luxurious life of a seafaring gentlemen. Remington was an instant hit with the Chikarmy, with an irresistible charm, penchant for following the rules of wrestling to a T, and a woman on either arm when he entered the building. That’s not to mention his exceptional in-ring work. Not only was he a member of the eclectic Battle Hive in the Challenge of the Immortals tournamen, but he also earned himself a shot at the Grand Championship almost exactly one year following his debut, where he ultimately fell short to current Grand champion Hallowicked. Although his appearances have grown more sparse, he’s always greeted with a warm welcome from the Chikarmy, whom which he lovingly returns the cheers of the crowd with a finger gun gesture.
"I break on one, my friend!" – Ashley backs the opponent into the corner and immediately breaks upon the referee’s 1-count
leg sweep sequence – Ashley and his opponent trade back and forth leg sweeps and covers
Fair Winds – spinning facebuster
ANCHOR’S AWAY – modified leglock / anklelock cloverleaf
SMOOTH GERMAN SUPLEX – Ashley’s impressive deadlift German suplex
The Bloc Party
The Bloc Party are a group of evil foreigners who were in direct opposition to the Baltic Siege in Wrestling is Fun and CHIKARA. In 2015, Juan Francisco de Coronado, an Ecuadorian aristocrat who liked their attitude and the fact that none of them were “United Staters”, recruited all three members to form “The United Nations” in the Challenge of the Immortals tournament.
Mr. Azerbaijan
As the name suggests, Mr. Azerbaijan has won “Azerbaijan’s Sexiest Man” award many times - except for 2002, in which a Coal Miner’s strike saw the awards canceled. You will rarely see Mr. Azerbaijan leave his feet, even when on offense, where he is prone to pose and pull down the straps on his singlet when he means serious business. On occasion he’ll bust out a sexy dance, typically before throwing jabs akin to his hero, “Road Dogg” Jesse James.
Bloc Party Isolation – The Block Party keeps the opponent in their corner utilizing at times barefoot kicks by Azerbaijan, clubbing hammers by Boar, and spin kicks by Prakash.
AZ Kneedrop – running knee drop with theatrics
Azerbaijan Special – barefoot choke with shin while flexing
Eastern European Suplex – release vertical suplex
The Proletariat Boar of Moldova
As his name states, the Boar represents the working class. He’s the largest, most dominant member of the team, with his powerful Gore being responsible for many of the Bloc Party’s victories. He’s also adopted Billy Gunn’s “Fame-Asser”, fitting the motif of his teammates.
Boarhug – Boar’s version of the bearhug
Boar Mode - middle rope choke followed by a running body guillotine
Porkrinder – leg drop bulldog
Bloc Slam – spinning side slam
Baconater – reverse thrown Death Valley driver
Hog Attack – Boar holds the opponent in a Hart Attack position as Prakash and Mr. Az bounce off opposite ropes with an eye rake and back rake respectively before Boar slams him to the mat.
Prakash Sabar
Sabar is an eX-Pakistani currently residing in the country of Georgia. His look and offense is very similar to that of X-Pac. Unlike Sean Waltman, it took Sabar over a year before he successfully executed the Bronco Buster. He may be small, but Sabar is quick and is not above cheating when the opportunity presents itself.
corner kick combo - 2 shoot kicks and a jumping back kick
Bloc Drop – falling reverse DDT (Christian style) and side slam combination
BBBITW - Best Bronco Buster In The World
UNITED DOMI-NATION – aided Dominator
ISLAMA-SMASH – X-Factor
N_R_G
This throwback tag team has made a lot of strides in just one year’s time, debuting in CHIKARA in the 2014 Tag Gauntlet during King of Trios weekend to winning Los Campeonatos de Parejas this past September.
Race Jaxon
Nicknamed “The Generator”, Race Jaxon is the hyperactive member of the team. Jaxon moves around the ring with reckless abandon and is known to take to the sky at a moment’s notice. Race is also a “student of the game”, which you can tell from his Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart influenced offense. His agility, enthusiasm, and confidence have led him and his partner to accruse an incredible win-loss record in Season 15.
Energizer – through-the-ropes clothesline
N-R-G Launch Board – Race runs and leaps off Hype’s back with a cross body block over the top rope to the floor
Hype Rockwell
When N_R_G first debuted, their biggest weakness was Hype’s inability to focus and stay awake during matches. Hype is the “wheelman” of the team, driving him and Race from town to town, leaving him minimal time to rest, negatively affecting his performance. Hype discovered the Electric Monkey energy drink mid-way through Season 15 which has washed away any signs of weariness he used to endure. His Hyperwheel finishing move has been the calling card of most N_R_G victories and was what led him and Race to get their first taste of gold.
HYPERWHEEL – spinning backbreaker
Swamp Monster
In the world of CHIKARA, it’s quite the accomplishment to call yourself the oddest member of the roster, but one could argue that Gentleman’s Club member The Swamp Monster is just that. Before 2015, the Swamp Monster was only seen on extremely rare occasions in CHIKARA, competing in just two matches and judging an MMA contest. Swamp Monster was the last teammate captain Chuck Taylor drafted onto his Challenge of the Immortals team and since then Chuck and has done nothing but treat him like dirt. In fact, Taylor’s insistence on throwing the Swamp Monster out of the ring or attempting to get him to cheat has cost the Gentleman’s Club matches on multiple occasions. Even though Chuck thinks he’s “the worst” and has threatened to murder him, Swamp Monster has always been a team player and has suffered the least amount of losses for his team throughout the tournament. Taylor’s poor treatment of Swamp Monster has made him one of the most sympathetic characters in CHIKARA. His moveset is very similar to that of Low Ki, though it’s probable that Ki has never “shimmy’d” like Swamp Monster.
Clothesline From Swampville – wind-up clothesline
Krush Kombo – shoot kicks to kneeling opponent's chest and roundhouse kick to the head.
Hall of Fame Finishing Sequence – Swamp mimics the big boot/legdrop, Rock Bottom/People’s Elbow or knife edge chops/figure four
Muck-Ki Krusher – fisherman driver
MONSTER SPLASH – Swamp Monster and each of his partners take turns hitting running corner attacks (Chuck Taylor - elbow smash, Drew Gulak - clothesline, Orange Cassidy – headbutt to stomach, Swamp – cartwheel into splash.)
TOP ROPE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP – top rope double foot stomp, sometimes performed on an opponent being hung in the Tree of Woe
Blind Rage
Blind Rage was on the very first CHIKARA show ever where he defeated UltraMantis. Interestingly enough, Rage would become a right hand man of UltraMantis when he became UltraMantis Black. Before that occurred, Blind Rage and Hallowicked won the first ever and oft forgotten 2003 Tag World Grand Prix tournament. After making very sporadic appearances from 2004 through 2006, Rage disappeared completely from CHIKARA until the Season 11 finale in 2012 where he once again teamed with UltraMantis Black and the rest of Mantis’ Spectral Envoy. After a small handful of appearance in 2013 and 2014, he returned to the main roster in 2015 as a part of the Nightmare Warriors led by Hallowicked for the Challenge of the Immortals tournament, to which UltraMantis Black felt slighted. Although Rage is not officially a trainee of the Wrestle Factory, he played a crucial part in CHIKARA’s formative years and overall tapestry.
