Team Ambition VS ACH & Michael Elgin

Another HUGE match from AAW Day Of Defiance in Chicago a few weeks ago.  This match was faced pace throughout and really did a great job of showcasing all four of these incredibly talented wrestlers while still utilizing a lot of team work. This is a match to seek out for some of the great spots alone.  The dynamics of the teams with the strength of Elgin and speed of ACH combating the vicious mean streak of Team Ambition really worked well and this match just worked.  Four of the best on the indies currently, how could you go wrong?

Archibald Peck challenges Eddie Kingston for the Chikara Grand Championship

Back with another THIS IS AWESOME! blog post featuring Chikara Action from Tag World Grand Prix in Chicago a few weeks ago.  

I was particularly excited for this match because I'm unashamed to say that Im a pretty huge fan of everything Archie.  This was probably my favorite match of the weekend (which says A LOT after that AAW show).  The story telling was just flawless and and a VERY pro-Archibald Peck crowd made this one pretty high drama at the end.  The ending of this one had the entire crowd in grips as Archie hit consecutive DDTs followed by no less than three spinning backfists to Kingston.  It looked like Peck had the Grand Championship well within reach until Kingston was able to hit Peck with a spinning backfist while Peck was attempting a springboard hit after being distracted by a SECOND ARCHIE IN THE BALCONY!! With the backfist the place goes black and Kingston stands alone in the ring.

I know this event just got put out by Smart Mark video, buy it and WATCH THIS MATCH.  Its great.

Chikara Tag World Grand Prix: The Colony VS Los Ice Creams

A few weeks ago I was also lucky enough to shoot Chikara's Tag World Grand Prix, while in Chicago.  Chikara put on an incredibly all ages show that had something for literally every kind of wrestling fan.  The crowd for this event was near perfect, with everyone having a great time and coming up with inventive chants. 

This weeks blog showcases the first round match up between The Colony and Los Ice Creams.  This match was a blast to watch from start to finish.  Los Ice Creams may be the wildest tag team I've seen yet, and their antics are pretty hilarious.  The Colony pulled out the win in the end.  Stay tuned for a LOT more Chikara events in the upcoming weeks.
