Also CharismaMan may have something... Beyond Wrestling has been tweeting the term "Wrestling Is Killer" linking to their youtube videos which fills the K needed.

What is going on exactly? I've never followed Chikara, but watched a few matches on YouTube. I saw this Chikara thread keep getting posted in and tried to read some of what happened, now I'm really interested.

Well, I've based my thoughts a lot off of what the two guys said in this podcast: freeadmissionfr.com/?p=5309It makes a lot of sense to me, I'd love to hear what other people think.

I hope you are not implying that new users on a forum is equal to an increase in business. It is not. To even see the board you must sign up for it. Most likely it was people wanting to see what the reaction was from some of the more obsessive CHIKARA fans. People who already know about CHIKARA who already watch, attend, or pirate it. I have to get it to Quack. Only he can turn a divorce into a some sort of weird comic book wrestling angle. Yet there continues to be people on here, wreddit, and chikara's board saying "I've never seen Chikara before, but now I'm intrigued by what they're doing". On one of TNA's big nights, Chikara is making more waves to people who follow wrestling online. That is what they want and it's the increase in business you say isn't happening.

There is no evidence that because someone is intrigued by something it will lead to an increase in money. Their fanbase is primarily those who follow wrestling online. There is no evidence that someone who is all of a sudden intrigued by what has happened is now going to spend the $100+ it would take to keep up with storyline over the next year or so. Let's be honest. Does anyone really think Quack decided I think for my next big angle I'm going to take this brand which is known and now separate it into a bunch of other brands which are unknown and don't draw crap. I'm going to be rich. Come on now. If Gabe or Ian tried this people would be laughing. Add in time travel and they would say it is the dumbest idea ever.

I'm not saying splitting into 7 promotions is smart. I like the idea that they're creating a multiverse in Chikara. Frankly I'm glad they're playing up the comic element. I think it would be smarter to do "7 promotions" but in reality would just be Chikara under a different appearance, and they is what they may do. I'm sure Chikara knows they won't have people paying tons of money for their shows and buying DVDs, they aren't unrealistic. But having more people follow the product and maybe buy a dvd or two, follow their podcast, etc. is likely what they want. They made an angle to turn heads and get people at least paying attention, and increase in business of everyone paying $100+ just because of the angle is illogical anyway. But they have attention of people they didn't have before and that's not a bad thing.

Taryn Terrell made more waves last night than CHIKARA, don't get that confused.

I was at the Wrestle-con Chikara show, and it ended with somebody giving quackenbush an envelope and said "I have to give you this, open this when you're alone" or whatever. Did anything come of that?

Well damn Dutt looks like you were on to something. This is intriguing as hell. It's almost like they're starting they're own territorial system or something along those lines.

I like that Ron Bass is now involved.
Also I wonder who the "coming soon" on Wrestling Is Art is?

Probably Orange Cassidy and Fire Ant. Two guys for the price of one.
