I'm currently counting down the top 10 moments in 2007 at the link below. The rest should be up over the next couple of days.

The whole Parkita match was probably my least favorite moment in Chikara last year, actually.

However, every time someone here disses Chikara I think about stuff like that Olsens / NSE slow-motion exchange and scratch my head in baffled fashion.

stuff like that Olsens / NSE slow-motion exchange

It's a matter of derivativeness. They did a slow motion exchange, but before that Delirious was doing it in ROH, and before that Ebessan and Kuishinbo Kamen were doing it in PWG, and before that they (and others) were doing it in Japan, and before that it was an Osaka Pro gag.

So while it may still be enjoyable, it may not be to everyone. When I was a teenager I marked the fuck out for a Liger shooting star press on dubbed video tape, but I've been pretty bored watching Matt Sydal do it into the crowd with a spaceman plancha or whatever right in front of me.

i'm not going to watch a whole card of bitch ass wrist-drags just for one slow-mo spot

[Whittle]

btw these are my personal favorite, not the best etc. also the parkita thing is on the list because i still cant believe it happened. 5-7 are up now too.

Eh, they probably could have fit that on two discs, the third one has quite a bit of filler imo. Icarus vs Donst really wasn't that great apart from the hay spot and the inclusion of Storm vs Taylor is pretty baffling.

Also, how is Hero vs Equinox not on there?

[B]

I hope to one day have the best of my wrestling organization's year be four Cheech and Cloudy matches.

[Whittle]

numbers 4 through 1 are up!

lol x like a billion at Quackenbush and Hero trading headbutts. It's like watching little kids reenact Dragon/Nigel.

[Hanstock]

That is the worst fucking submission hold I have ever seen. It's like tapping out to a ginger bearhug.

[Illinois Smith]

okay, so on night 2 of king of trios we're gonna have this team

[Whittle]

sweeney and ryder might also end up matching up against team wwf which would be awesome
