* BiggerBad: During the BDK angle. Even though he was gone from CHIKARA well before it started, much of the stable had roots in Hero's machinations. Specifically, Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}} had sent Hero to work for Dr. Cube in Wrestling/KaijuBigBattel in exchange for Cube giving [=UMB=] the Eye of Tyr, a Norse mythological artifact that can be used to control minds. When Ares and Tursas came down to the ring at the end of CHIKARA's 2009 SeasonFinale ''Three-Fisted Tales,'' Ares demanded that [=UMB=] give him the Eye of Tyr.[[note]][=UMB=], Vökoder and [[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]] had walked to the ring together in response to Ares demanding "the man with the real power." [=UMB=] handed the Eye to Vökoder. After Tursas and Ares unmasked, Vökoder attacked [=UMB=], aligning himself with Ares and the BDK. He unmasked as Tim Donst, who subsequently gave Ares the Eye of Tyr.[[/note]] The other significant event was Shane Storm giving Hero the counter to Quackenbush's submission hold the CHIKARA Special, leading to Storm turning heel and becoming [=STIGMA=].

* TrashTheSet: An unintentional example. During his match with Claudio at the ''King of Europe Cup 2007'', he suplexed Claudio so hard that the ring actually caved in from the impact. Considering that, unlike, say, the Wrestling/BrockLesnar-Wrestling/TheBigShow incident on ''[=SmackDown!=]'' in 2003, these guys ''aren't'' [=superheavyweights=], that says something about either how hard the suplex was or how poorly the ring must have been constructed.

* BigBad: For 2005-2007. Specifically, the Kings of Wrestling were ''the'' dominant heel stable in CHIKARA, and everything centered around them. The 2007 Torneo Cibernetico, at ''Cibernetico & Robin'', September 22, 2007, was the KOW (Hero, Castangoli, Chuck Taylor, Gran Akuma, Icarus, Larry Sweeney, Mitch Ryder and Shane Hawke) vs. Equinox, [[Wrestling/{{Hunico}} Incognito (Hunico[=/=]Sin Cara Negro)]], Lince Dorado, Magno[[note]]a replacement for Sicodelico Jr.[[/note]], Las Chivas (Chiva III and Chiva IV) and Los Ice Creams (Ice Cream Jr. and El Hijo del Ice Cream). The way the match works is that it is an elimination tag match where there can be only one person left, even if that means one team has to fight each other after the other team has been eliminated, which is exactly what happened here. Ryder had eliminated Dorado, leaving only himself, Hero and Castagnoli. Castagnoli eliminated Hero and Ryder to win.
