I have been a fan of Chikara for a long time, so I was really excited to go to a live show.\u00a0 I went with a couple of friends and one of my nephews.\u00a0 My friends had\u00a0notseen much, if any Chikara, and my nephew, Desi, did not have much interest in wrestling until watching Summerslam and Night of Champions. This was his first live show of any sort.\u00a0 The tickets said that the show was for ages 15+, which was kind of surprising.\u00a0 My nephew is younger than that, but he can pass for a short 15-year-old and they didn&#8217;t say anything.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Before I go any further, I have been to several concerts at Mill City Nights.\u00a0 It is a good place for concerts.\u00a0 Not so much for wrestling.\u00a0 If you ever plan on going to a wrestling show there, do yourself a favor and get floor seats.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>The show started a few minutes late, and during the introduction, the announcer messed up and swore! He caught it right away and corrected himself, but the fans teased him about it anyways.\u00a0 There was a decent crowd, with probably 250-300 people there.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) Chuck Taylor defeated Frightmare.\u00a0<\/strong>This was a Challenge Of The Immortals match.\u00a0 Desi said he liked Frightmare (all night he was cheering for the masked wrestlers). There was some fun comedy in the match and at one point they were outside of the ring and Chuck used a fan as a shield.\u00a0 In the end, Chuck won, picking up some points for his team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) Darin Corbin &amp; Punk Rock All-Stars beat\u00a0N.R.G &amp; Farmer Frog in a six-man tag match.\u00a0<\/strong>This was an unannounced match. \u00a0I don&#8217;t know much about the Punk Rock All-Stars, but Corbin is based out of Minnesota.\u00a0 Despite being only a few hours from home, Corbin and the All-Stars were the heels (sorry, this is Chikara, so <em>rudos<\/em>) for the match. It was a decent match and in the end, Corbin and the All-Stars picked up the win.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) Oleg The Usurper beat\u00a0Arik Cannon.<\/strong>\u00a0Cannon is also based out of Minnesota and runs F1rst Wrestling, which runs shows a few blocks down at First Ave. (across from the Target Center, where WWE usually runs shows.)\u00a0 Not to surprisingly the fans were cheering for him a lot, but there were plenty of Oleg chants as well.\u00a0 My friends weren&#8217;t too impressed with Oleg, or Cannon for that matter, but Desi liked them, especially Oleg.\u00a0 After an okay match, Cannon got the win.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) Los Ice Creams &amp; Princess Kimber Lee beat\u00a0Icarus &amp; Mr. Touchdown &amp; Heidi Lovelace in a mixed tag match. <\/strong>This was\u00a0another Challenge Of The Immortals match.\u00a0 For all of us this was the match of the night.\u00a0 I have always enjoyed Los Ice Creams act, and so did everyone else.\u00a0 Right after the bell rang, a fan up in the balcony said something about Dippin Dots, which brought on of the Ice Creams upstairs.\u00a0 After contemplating throwing him over the rail, he just scolded the fan and went back to the ring.\u00a0 This was a really fun match, with lots of comedy and in the end Lose Ice Creams and Princess Kimber Lee won.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1192195048\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>[Intermission.\u00a0During intermission, Shynron was walking through the balcony and hanging out with fans.\u00a0 When he saw my nephew, he made sure to give him a high five and ask if he was enjoying the show.\u00a0 For the rest of the show, Desi kept asking when Shynron&#8217;s match was.]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) Ariya Daivari beat\u00a0Wildcat, Venom, and Kody Rice to retain the F1rst Championship.\u00a0<\/strong>Daivari got a lot of heat early on, stopping the match because he had to pray.\u00a0 Wildcat interrupted him and knocked him down by pulling his rug out from under him.\u00a0 This was a decent Four-Way, with some comedy mixed in when someone threw a ball of yarn into the ring.\u00a0 Wildcat tried to ignore it, but in the end had to play with it.\u00a0 In the end, Daivari won the match to retain his title. F1rst&#8217;s next show is Wrestlepalooza 7 in a few months at First Ave.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) Hallowicked beat\u00a0Jacob Hammermeier in a non-title match.\u00a0<\/strong>This was a Challenge Of The Immortals match.\u00a0 Even though it wasn&#8217;t for the Grand Championship, I was surprised that it wasn&#8217;t the main event.\u00a0 From a wrestling standpoint, I thought this was probably the best match of the night.\u00a0 In the end, Hallowicked got the win for his team.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Before the main event, they had a raffle drawing.\u00a0 The prize was a poster signed by everyone in the locker room.\u00a0 They picked a little girl (who in no way could pass as being 15) to draw the winning number.\u00a0 And the winner was\u2026her dad!<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>(7) Shynron &amp; Ophidian &amp; Eddie Kingston beat The United Nations. <\/strong>This was the\u00a0final Challenge Of The Immortals match of the night.\u00a0 Desi was excited because Shynron was in this match.\u00a0 My friends meanwhile thought Prakash Sabar and Proletariat Boar of\u00a0Moldova were kind of stupid.\u00a0 It looked like they were teasing some problems within the Snake Pit, as Kingston kept tagging himself in when he didn&#8217;t need to, but in the end, they picked up the win.\u00a0<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Overall this was a fun show.\u00a0 I really enjoyed it, and more importantly Desi had a lot of fun.\u00a0 Hopefully they come back to Minnesota soon (but hopefully in a different\u00a0venue).<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2942952890\"><div id=\"pwtor-959284532\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>CHIKARA Live Results October 22, 2015 Minneapolis, Minn.
