    Re: Have ROH/CHIKARA Allied in Some Form?

    I think it's just a case of putting over the opposition so that, when the Briscoe probably overcome Jig and Wicked, that ROH looks good by having their tag team champions beat said stalwarts of Chikara. Basically, it's just putting over Chikara so that any newcomers to ROH don't look at the two masked wrestlers and think to themselves "These masked freaks ain't nuthin' compared to Dem Boys," or something like that. Right now ROH probably has much more exposure to many more wrestling fans than they have before thanks to Sinclair Broadcasting, but the last thing they want to do is even suggest disenfranchising Chikara fans by not treating Chikara like a fairly big deal.

    I, personally, would LOVE to see some cross-promotion between the two companies...maybe even a Chikara vs ROH cibernetico. Not only does it give a bit of variety to ROH that they quite frankly lack, but it boosts Chikara's profile as not just any other indy.

    ...Or it could be that Quack wants them to promote the hell out of Chikara because he's secretly a prick, but that's neither here nor there.

    Re: Have ROH/CHIKARA Allied in Some Form?

    Do you remember how much ROH put over CHIKARA when the CHIKARA guys first started to come in around 2007?

    I wouldn't be surprised if they're unofficially trying to help each other out. In the last few years, CHIKARA has really broke out as a major player in the indies. Meanwhile, ROH have separated themselves from the rest of the indy world. You no longer have the ROH/FIP relationship. ROH and Gabe's promotions were at odds. The NOAH and Dragon Gate guys have stopped coming in. ROH could really benefit from having another relationship with a fellow company again. Let's face it, there's a reason why the ROH/CZW feud is looked back on so fondly. It wouldn't have worked as well if the CZW guys were just random ROH wrestlers now in a faction.

    Could also be a ploy to sell more tickets and sheet.

    "Hey, you like ROH?"

    "No, I like CHIKARA."

    "Oh, we've got that too! Come on down or we'll kill your parents."

    "Alright."

    Poppycock. Now that's a word you couldn't say if Quack was anywhere near you, or you're banned from CHIKARA for life.

    Re: Have ROH/CHIKARA Allied in Some Form?

    I wonder why this thread hasn't been there when Claudio Castagnoli led the "Bruderschaft des Kreuzes" to greatness while being one half of the ROH Tag Team Champions. As I said in another thread, none of these Indy promotions "own" a talent year-round exclusively because they could never afford it. Not even TNA pays their talents year-round, but they pay for a number of dates. There might be exclusivity for PPVs, but surely not for the whole year. That being said, ROH talent can of course join CHIKARA for a few non-PPV shots and vice versa.

    Purely talentwise, I don't see it making much sense for ROH at all. The undercard still has plenty of matchups that haven't been seen, and no CHIKARA talent except for Quack has enough value and credibility to hang with the ROH uppercard. And I don't really expect Quack to work for anything else but his own promotion anymore.

    Because Claudio was using a slightly different character and was in ROH for as long as anybody else bar a few, AND it wasn't a deal with Chikara to use him?

    Not to mention that at the time, Claudio was a trainer at Chikara's Wrestle Factory.

    Re: Have ROH/CHIKARA Allied in Some Form?

    - Both Ring of Honor and CHIKARA officials will be meeting this Friday afternoon in Philadelphia regarding April 28th in Chicago Ridge, IL. Expect an official detailed announcement soon.
    That's the date where they both have shows booked in Chicago and fans were like "How could ROH be such dicks?!" and obviously it turned out that CHIKARA were doing a matinee. Interesting...

    Re: Have ROH/CHIKARA Allied in Some Form?

    Chikara and ROH officials are in closed door talks about 4/28 in Chicago Ridge right now
    At the least, I think we can expect a crossover show of sorts. Bring me Steen vs Kingston!
