Just so you know as you may want to have them commentate in your fed - UMB and Kingston do commentary at times for Chikara. They usually rotate around Leonard Chikarason (director of fun), Quakcenbush, Sweeney, Kingston, UMB, and referee Bryce Rensburg. Crap, we need Bryce in the set somehow!
UMB is very very good on the mic, and really sells Chikara in his commentary. Kingston has some really hilarious moments and calls it like he sees it. Sweeney is of course hilarious. I'll probably have a non-wrestler as the main commentator and UMB as color commentator.

Sweeney on the mic (not just commentary, in general) is freaking gold, UMB makes me laugh pretty hard (see: KOT07 with Chuck Taylor's use of Alex Wright, though one could argue the use of a Sgt. Craig Pittman figure would be worse), and I don't think I've heard Kingston on commentary for CHIKARA, I know I've heard him for IWA-MS (namely Joe/Necro I), and he's good from what I remember. Wait, wasn't Kingston on commentary for Low-Ki/Necro I as well?

Louden Noxious also does commentary for CHIKARA a lot these days. He has to run from the desk to the ring which can be funny to watch live.

It sounds to me that wrestling is taking a more comical direction nowadays.

Chikara has always had a comedy element since the beginning.

I like having a bit of comedy infuse into wrestling. It gets it away from all the serious angles that are going on in wrestling today. The funny bits when done well are gold and there is nothing wrong with having both in a wrestling program.

The thing I like in Chikara is how the comedy bits are brough into the matches themselves. At KOT almost every match had one part that had your chuckling. But the end was serious. It wasn't just about promos to make you laugh.
