LOTF in The Best of Chikara

[Vegas]

Today I was at the library and I saw they had this DVD callled "The Best of Chikara" and I checked it out.

These are the matches listed on it:

Eddie Kingston vs Larry Sweeney
Mike Quackenbush vs Claudio Castagnoli
North Star Express vs The Kings of Wrestling
Angel de Fuego & Equinox & The Colony vs Los Ice Creams & Crossbones & Rorschach
Allison Danger & Ranmaru & Rain vs Daizee Haze & Mickie & Sumie Sakai
Milano Collection AT & Skayde vs Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli
Shane Storm & Jigsaw & Quackenbush vs Gran Akuma & Icarus & Castagnoli
Chris Hero vs Shane Storm.

This will be the first Chikara DVD I've ever watched. What do you think?

Looks good. Is that the set that was released at Wal Mart a few years back?

I don't know if it was part of a larger set or not. I found it at the library just as a single disc. It has a 2007 copyright date.

I have that. It's okay, though a little too much lucha for my tastes. The first match starts with about 5 minutes of flying headscissors, one after another. Then, the Hero/Claudio matches show up and steal the entire show.

Overall, not bad, especially if you can get it cheap.

Too much lucha? But...didn't Chikara come into existence on the premise of American Lucha?

At the time I bought it, I didn't realize what Chikara revolved around; I thought it was a mix of styles. Still, watching 5 minutes of nothing but flying headscissors seems less like wrestling and more like a circus act.

But that's just my view. Those who are into that still will probably enjoy it.
