Movie Reviews of The Best of Chikara
Movie Review: Good compilation
Summary: 4 Stars
Good compilation to give people unfamiliar with Chikara an idea of what the producst is. Its American-style lucha libre with elements of Japanese puroresu and traditional American style wrestling. While some of the wrestlers may seem green, Chikara is also a training ground so some of these wrestlers are new on the scene and others are more experienced. So even the matches that may not be at a high quality you'll still see some cool moves and guys utlizing their characters/gimmicks and charisma to still bring the fun.
There are some amazing high flying moves that you will not see in WWE or TNA let alone Ring of Honor. Especially the match between Mike Quackenbush and Claudio Castignoli. The Kings of Wrestling tag matches are also really good.
The DVD actually features 9 matches with Jigsaw versus Hallowicked.
I've only discovered Chikara this year and for me, personally, its been more spot on then a lot of promotions simply because I find the product more fun and wrestlers more entertaining.
Movie Review: No story, excellent wrestling, bad quality.
Summary: 4 Stars
I came across the promotion and decided to check it out with this best of DVD. Every wrestler is pretty flashy weather it be in a bright mask or colors that stand out. The wrestling itself is the biggest draw, high flying and technical stuff is amazing. They are a little slow and sloppy on occasion but very good otherwise. If you are a fan of wrestling and want to check out some guys who are trying to pay there dues and bust their butt, this is it. Sadly the quality of the video is a little blurry and could be better, also the venues are sometimes very lacking. One looked to be in a high school gym.. I paid $3.99 for this on Ebay and it was worth it. It's two hours of excellent, flashy, over the top, lucha-ish, Japanese-ish, wrastlin'!
B- If I were to give it a letter grade. It only loses a little due to the quality of the video.
Movie Review: Best of Chikara (short review)
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a fan of professional wrestling. I am a fan of the mid-west indy scene, of ROH, NOAH, Dragon Gate, NWA, WCCW, ECW (not WWE-CW) and yes, even WSX. I have seen some of the Chikara talent on Ring of Honor shows and have to say I was impressed. I have visited the Chikara website many times and wondered about the type of show they put on. After purchasing the Best of Chikara dvd, I must say I am now a fan. The dvd compiles a great mix of wrestling styles and in ring experience. The individual gear worn by some of the wrestlers is very creative and colorful. I was very impressed by the Lucha/Japanese/European/traditional mix of wrestling crammed into this dvd. I would highly recommend this dvd to even the casual wrestling fan. It may introduce you to professional wrestling as you've probably never seen it before.Movie Review: A lot of fun.
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this dvd a lot. Chikara has a lot of positive things going for it. They have the guys doing comentary on the matches. Which is extermly fun to listen to. Seeing as both heels and faces doing. They actual try to give a non kay face opinon at times. They have mixed Luca, american, japanize junoirs, and some mat into a sweet, sweet product. I enjoyed all of the matches on the dvd. But the one I loved the most was the Womens match. Which was excellent. If your looking for something compleatly diffrent from everyone else. Want some great humor, funny gimicks and some good to great wrestling. This is the company you want to look into. Chikara is good.Movie Review: Fun Wrestling DVD!
Summary: 4 Stars
Tired of "sports entertainment"? Check out Chikara-a PA group that manages to put on good wrestling shows that are very entertaining. I'm lucky to live in the Philly area so I get to see these guys live. It's a great group to support. Worth every dime!
