Whiskey_Jim Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I find Chikara a but rediculous, its a near non entity promotion that draws next nothing. they depend on the smark crowd that will eventually stop watching and move on from wrestling leaving them with nothing. this is why WWE are at the top and will always be.

Paid Members Duke Posted July 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 pCc had Zbyszko a fucking age ago. "Lazza Z", has been our announcer and part-time golfer of choice since our genesis. Your little bumboy club can have Lee Marshall. I'm gonna be honest, I thought you boys claimed skeeavone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted July 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 Most there shows now are drawing a good few hundred to shows with most their money coming from DVD sales, which they remain strong on. It really is light hearted and quite fun to watch, any fed that bans swearing from it shows is setting a pretty good example. Â It does help that aside from the comedy stuff a fair few on their roster are pretty good talents that are making waves in other companies as well as being decent wrestlers. Â Comparing Chikara to WWE is like comparing Hereford United to Barcelona. It's a no contest in terms of size but both still entertain their core fan base.

I wont go into detail as it was a personal convo, but if your remember our convo on the nature of the DG fanbase you may be able to see my point that eventually for whatever reason the fanbase will evaporate whereas WWE constantly shift their focus on the key demographic to keep creating a fresh audience.

If you're talking about the DG Japanese fanbase, I'd say it'll be a while before they have to shift - their main demo is teenage girls/young women who love pop culture.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted July 17, 2011 Moderators Share Posted July 17, 2011 I'm gonna be honest, I thought you boys claimed skeeavone as well. Â Probably did. Carbum's clubhouse can make do with Rod Trongard, Craig DeGeorge and Ken Resnick as their dream team on the mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted July 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 I do remember that and it is a very good point which I admittedly had forgot about. Â Guessing even something that is geared at one specific audience will soon have to adapt to another one then. That may suck, I do love a bit of Chikara technical comedy right now haha.

You lot made all sorts of conciliatory noises, like TNA did with JR, but at the end of the day, you arsed around too much and now you get nothing. Â Learn to live with it. Hey, look at that - we've got Flair too. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may suck, I do love a bit of Chikara technical comedy right now haha. exactly but by your admission I look at wrestling in a slightly different light.... or if you believe Chilli Dog, Im full of shit and cant possibly be right because I have a thoery which isnt a commonly held belief. and going back to your earlier comment about Hereford and Barca, its my opinion that every wrestling promotion should be compared and compare themselves to WWE because they are the most successful company, therefore they must be doing things that others should emulate.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted July 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 Again its a fair point I just don't like having to comapre things to WWE because well they're a company thats looking for major financial gain and to remain the strongest company wheras most smaller companies (like Chikara) are looking at wrestling and fan participation (its hard to doubt how much Quackenbush loves Chikara and everything about it) and then money, hence being able to deal with small crowds. Â However, I don't think you're full of shit you actually provide a decent counter view to a lot of mainstream views, hence the different light thing, maybe from wiser years, maybe because you just see things in a different way but definately not full of shit, you've left me confused on more than one occasion haha.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted July 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 aye seems a relatively simple enough thing to grasp. Â Cheers Jim, always good for a decent discussion even when I'm probably quite wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
