Hey guys, does anyone think Chikara should do shows again, even if under the "Wrestling Is" banner?
They were family friendly, fun, engaging shows with amazing characters and talent. Being a fan during the Ashes season of Chikara was a completely unique experience that I remember fondly getting to be a sleuth in.
I am not saying the wrestlers of old would embrace it again, with all that went down, but despite Quacks flaws, there was something magic with that company, in my opinion.

Nope. Chikara was great back then.
The business has moved on.

What really led to Chikara going under? I’ve seen most say it’s on Quack’s shoulders but was it money or something else? I watched some of Sweeney and the Ants from early mid 200’s but never followed too close.

I watched some of Sweeney and the Ants from early mid 200’s but never followed too close. The speaking out movement from a couple years ago lead to it, essentially. Allegations came out about various wrestlers and Quack, mass resignations of wrestlers and trainers, then Quack closed up shop. He did say maybe one day they would return if they could be safer and better, but I have seen nothing mentioned since 2020?. AIW has some current folks like Donst, but Chikara was special, and the Wrestle Factory taught some of our modern day greats. |

Sadly, Chikara is gone.
You can catch the majority of the tomfoolery on AEW Wednesday and Friday nights, though. 😊👍

I would love to see folks like Akuma and Icarrus, or my fav, Los Ice Creams, again, but even a crew like the Ants would be too comic booky for AEW. |

So he gone too. |
