Add the tag team champions F.I.S.T.(Johnny Gargano+Chuck Taylor) on the list of wrestlers not on the PPV Unless a new match is announced in the upcoming week. Anyway, it's kinda akward having a tag team title match when one of your PPV matches features two teams fighting for the right to fight for those titles. |

Besides Gargano is in the main event of EVOLVE up in NYC the same night. |

Anyway, it's kinda akward having a tag team title match when one of your PPV matches features two teams fighting for the right to fight for those titles. No it's not. Yes it is. You can't have another team wrestle for the title because the only two teams close to contention are The Young Bucks and the Colony, who have a match on the PPV to earn the third point neccesary to earn the title shot. That would make the entire point system pointless. Besides, one half of the tag team champions can't actually make it to the PPV as he's wrestling for DGUSA that night. Really akward doing a tag team title match when one half of your tag team champions can't make the show. |

That wasn't the point. I don't see a problem with a tag title match and a #1 contender's match on the same show. That was the comment I was answering.
I know how Chikara works its points system. To me the title match I saw in Williamsport should've been put on the ippv. If half the champs is booked elsewhere, well too bad. Oh, and the title match in W-port he wasn't there either and Icarus subbed for him. So that's been done.
So how important will the tag titles be now that there is Grand Championship in Chikara?

So how important will the tag titles be now that there is Grand Championship in Chikara? That there is the really big question. My guess is that they were OK not having the tag titles on this show, since the main focus of the iPPV was the Grand Champion. But going forward, I'm guessing the Grand Championship will take a higher profile. I just hope they dont get away from the focus on multiman matches. |

Having the match and using a substitute would not work either since Chuck Taylor is also on the Dragon Gate USA show that night. Might as well just have the two teams competing for three points wrestle each other for the vacated belts if they wanted to play it like that.
However, the above solution is no good for two reasons: one, people would wonder what happened to Taylor and Gargano and wind up finding DGUSA, potentially swaying buyers away from the Chikara iPPV (note these are taking place one right after the other though, so a dedicated fan could potentially spend all day watching both). Two, they'd have just exposed the fact that the campeonatos de parejas are wrestling for another company on the night of the biggest event Chikara has ever held. Even if their reasons for doing so are good (booked well before the Chikara event, better positioning in the company, etc) it still gives a bad impression.

I think most Indy fans understand how Indy wrestling works. I don't think it's a big deal at all.

I don't think it really matters in the end since the overall quality of the lineup is so good.
I'm just starting to heavily consider clearing my schedule and watching both ippvs now that I wrote that earlier. Man, someone should've left this topic alone and not put that idea in my head. A 6 pack and six hours of high quality wrestling? It's tempting.
