3[[folder:People Who First Wrestled in 2002]]
4!!!Blind Rage
5* BackFromTheDead: Mantis tends to claim that Blind Rage has literally risen from his grave whenever he returns to CHIKARA.
6* BigBad: Of seasons one and two.
7* CarryABigStick[=/=]WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: On the March 8, 2002 episode of ''Hardway Wrestling TV'', he defeated Ran Zander in a "Loser Gets Ten Lashes With The UsefulNotes/{{Singapore}} Cane Match."
8* CelebrityResemblance: After his win over [=UltraMantis=] at ''The Renaissance Dawns'', the crowd taunted him by chanting [[Music/TheMisfits "Jerry Only! Jerry Only!"]].
9* DemBones: Used to wear a bandana with a skeleton-teeth design. Since his 2012 return, he's been painting his face as a skull.
10* FandomRivalry: InUniverse. He had a "Rock vs. Rap" feud with DJ Skittlez, leading to Skittlez defeating him at ''Aniversario'' on May 24, 2003 in a "Winner Picks the Loser's Entrance Music" match. As a result, his theme song was changed from Music/TheMisfits' "Kong at the Gates" to Music/MotleyCrue's "Girls Girls Girls."
11* FinishingMove: [=STF=]
12* {{Goth}}: Was identified as such.
13* IWasBeatenByAGirl: In his final match, Deonna Purrazzo defeated him at Excellence Professional Wrestling's ''Scaredy Cat'' event on October 8, 2016.
14* ImprobableWeaponUser: The Night Shift regularly used '''pumpkins''', specifically, Jack-O-Lanterns in the promotion's early months. It was explained on the June 21, 2002 show that Mister ZERO had become their supplier due to receiving an over-shipment of them.
15* PartsUnknown: "[=Deathlehem=], Pennsylvania"
16* PowerStable:
17** The Spectral Envoy, led by [=UltraMantis=] Black

19* PowerTrio: He led The Night Shift, with Hallowicked and Ichabod Slayne (Icarus).
20** The Dark Breed, with [=UltraMantis Black=] and Hallowicked.
21* RealMenWearPink: For a short time he had his hair dyed pale pink.
22* RedBaron: "The Warhammer", according to Hallowicked.
23** "The Forgotten Monster"
24
25!!! Wrestling/ColtCabana (aka Matt Classic)
26* ActuallyPrettyFunny: CM Punk might've been infuriated by CP Munk, but Colt Cabana thought that [=Colt CaBunny=] was funny and didn't have a problem with it.
27* EarlyBirdCameo: Made one appearance in 2003 with the Gold Bond Mafia (see below), then wouldn't appear for seven more years.
28* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Matt Classic's gimmick was that he was a cryogenically frozen wrestler from the 1950s, recently woken. His finishing move was the airplane spin.
29* PowerStable: The Gold Bond Mafia, with Chris Hero and CM Punk. It was an [=IWA:MS=] stable with limited appearances on other indies - this included one CHIKARA appearance before the falling out between CHIKARA and CM Punk happened.
30
31!!!Lester "Darkness" Crabtree
32%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
33* CommutingOnABus: Hasn't been on the official roster since 2007 but usually showed up at least once every year 'til his demise.
34* FakingTheDead: Constantly, however he does seem to have been...
35* KilledOffForReal: By 17 when Wrestling Is Intense was shut down.
36* RingOldies: Parodied.
37* SecretlyWealthy: Revealed post-demise in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fht3c-xcFdc this video]] to have been quite wealthy, as he left a very substantial sum to his nephew Ashley Remington.
38
39!!!DJ Skittlez
40* TheBigGuy: At 6'2" and 222 lbs he wasn't huge by wrestling standards, but compared to the very cruiserweight Chikara roster he was quite big - in fact he was the largest tecnico on the roster at one point.
41* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Just up-and-up vanished from CHIKARA by 2005 with no explanation. Especially notable as he was a featured wrestler on many earlier events.
42* InformedAbility: At no point displays any actual ability as a DJ or as a rapper.
43* KaleidoscopeHair: He began dying his hair in all the colors of the rainbow - as a reference to his love for skittles. The individual colors changed sometimes.
44* OddFriendship: With Private Eye. What exactly do a DJ with a sweet tooth and an investigative agent who has a giant eye for a head have in common?
45* PunnyName: His tag team with Private Eye, Eye Candy. Because DJ Skittlez liked candy and Private Eye was an eye.
46* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: He was rarely obnoxious about it, but he was a white DJ and hip-hop enthusiast.
47* SweetTooth: Was acknowledged as having one.
48* WrestlingDoesntPay: He was a wrestling rapper/[=DJ=].
49
50!!!Dragonfly
51* BackForTheDead: In 2012, another Dragonfly return appears to have been solely for 17 to injure and re-retire him.
52* TheBusCameBack: After about six years away, Dragonfly returned near the end of 2008 for an alumni battle royal and has since generally made at least one appearance each year prior to his encounter with 17.
53* FlatCharacter: Didn't have much of one, especially compared to the others.
54* OvershadowedByAwesome: Was pretty well this by the rest of his fellow rookies.
55
56!!!Gran Akuma
57* ArchEnemy: Well, Team F.I.S.T. had a major feud with The Colony, but, due to being top ''Rudos'' for a long time, they were pretty much hated by everybody. His final feud was with his former teammates after he was replaced by Johnny Gargano.
58* BaldOfEvil: Post un-masking, as part of F.I.S.T., and during his 2017 return.
59* TheBusCameBack: After staying away from CHIKARA for a year and a half, he returned to seek revenge on his ex-stablemates at the end of season ten. He subsequently ran the gauntlet against F.I.S.T. and defeated Icarus in a ladder match to win the rights to a full time contract.
60** Appeared in a ''Top Banana'' hype video at the tail end of Season 15, then didn't appear again until Aniversario 2017. He then made a more regular return to the roster for the first time since 2013 at the end of 2017.
61* EarlyBirdCameo: He was in the audience for ''The Second Show'', May 31, 2002, meaning his face appeared on camera three years before he lost his mask to Shane Storm at ''Running In The Red'' on November 13, 2005.
62* FinishingMove: Yoshi Tonic
63* GimmickMatches: At ''[=Chikarasaurus Rex=]: How To Hatch A Dinosaur'', June 2, 2012, he defeated Icarus in only the second ladder match in CHIKARA history.
64* PartsUnknown: "Afar, PA"
65* PowerStable: Aside from the obvious, he was also a member of KAMIKAZE USA in Dragon Gate USA.
66* PutOnABus: After being kicked out of F.I.S.T. in 2010 he disappeared from Chikara for a year and a half - although he worked other indies, including the vaguely Chikara-affiliated Wrestling/DragonGate USA during that time.
67** Bussed out again in 2014 as he was not contacted about a return, possibly due to negative comments made about the Titor Conglomerate storyline - he said he'd 'prefer to be wrestling'. Again, worked other indies, including the vaguely Chikara-affiliated Excellence Professional Wrestling.
68** Bussed out yet again in mid-February of 2018, as he announced his retirement. Though he's since unretired, there has been no word as to him returning.
69* RedBaron: "The Mysterious, Mythological Warrior From Afar"
70* TheStoic: Noted for not having much emotion in general, and often played the StraightMan to Icarus and Chuck Taylor.
71* [[FaceHeelTurn Tecnico Rudo Turn]]: Turned in 2005 and didn't look back until he got kicked out of F.I.S.T. in 2010.
72** [[HeelFaceTurn Rudo Tecnico Turn]]: After he came back to CHIKARA with F.I.S.T. in his sights.
73* TagTeam: (Team) F.I.S.T., with Icarus and Chuck Taylor, until he was kicked out in favor of Wrestling/JohnnyGargano.
74* TakeThat: After returning in 2012, Akuma named his rolling Death Valley Driver the "[=MP4=]," in contrast to Icarus' "Blu-Ray." As he explained on Twitter, "Because I stole it."
75
76!!!Hallowicked
77* ArchEnemy: Even though they've been friends as often as enemies, Hallowicked's never held a grudge against anyone else like he has against [=UltraMantis=] Black.
78* CatchPhrase: Once he gained the ability to speak in a coherent, intelligible manner due to Delirious using the Eye of Tyr on him, he would end promos with either "All Glory Nazmaldun," or ''[[GratuitousLatin "Vae Victis"]]''.
79* CoolMask: Even [[Wrestling/DeanAmbrose Jon Moxley]] had to admit Hallowicked's mask was pretty cool, so he decided he was going to "test" him to see if Hallowicked was worthy of wearing it. Team Chikara was ultimately victorious in their Wrestling/DragonGate USA tour so presumably Hallowicked is worthy.
80* CostumeCopyCat: When Cheech and Cloudy dressed as and acted like he and Delirious, though Incoherence seemed to approve and even teamed up with their doppelgangers.
81%%* DarkIsNotEvil: From 2006 onwards.
82%%** LightIsNotGood: From 2015 onwards.
83* DarkhorseVictory: After nothing resembling success in the promotion for two years, an unexpected return teaming alongside Jigsaw to beat The Briscoes in a proving ground match at ''ROH The Homecoming 2012''. Yeah, the Briscoes would figure out how to beat them later, but still.
84* TheDragon: To Blind Rage, [=UltraMantis=] Black, and Nazmaldun.
85* FinishingMove: Graveyard Smash, CHIKARA Special. For the other, see below.
86* FriendToAllChildren: When he and Delirious won los Campeonatos de Parejas, they invited the children in the audience to come and celebrate with them.
87* HardHead: Kingston headbutted him during their Falls Count Anywhere Match at ''Chapter 11'', November 18, 2007, and ''Kingston'' was the one who sold it.
88* TheHeavy: In The [=heXed=] Men. [=UltraMantis Black=] was the leader, and was possessed by Nazmaldun, but he was also injured, leaving Hallowicked as the in-ring leader and biggest threat in the stable.
89* IWasBeatenByAGirl: And how. [[Wrestling/KimberLee Princess Kimberlee]] defeated him for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-g.html CHIKARA Grand Championship]] at ''Top Banana'', December 5, 2015.
90* LiteraryAllusionTitle: One of his Finishing Moves is called [[Literature/TheLegendOfSleepyHollow "Go to Sleepy Hollow"]]. He's billed from Sleepy Hollow.
91* NotSoDifferentRemark: Mentioned by name in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRr3ytKDMLw promo]] before his CHIKARA Grand Championship title defense against Dasher Hatfield at ''The Immaculate Election'', July 26, 2015. He said that Dasher has a [[EvilCannotComprehendGood "certain nobility about him"]] that neither he nor Nazmaldun can understand, but that when the Grand Championship is on the line he wants to see how far Dasher is willing to go. At ''Babylon Springs'' on November 8th, The Nightmare Warriors (Hallowicked and Frightmare) defeated The Throwbacks (Dasher and "Mr. Touchdown" Mark Angelosetti), The Osirian Portal and Hermit Crab and Cajun Crawdad in a four-way tag after Dasher abandoned the match when a piece of metal fell out of the elbow pad he'd been using, proving Angelosetti was still cheating. Dasher surrendered the points Dasher's Dugout (Throwbacks[=/=]Icarus[=/=]Heidi Lovelace) had accumulated in the Challenge of the Immortals tournament, confirming his nobility. However, his shocking heel turn as Grand Champion proved Wicked right, even though his turn was pure [[ItsAllAboutMe selfishness]], as opposed to being put under a spell like Wicked was.
92* PetTheDog: He was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00HgN6fOMhs&t=2s teamed]] with Australian female wrestler Shazza [=McKenzie=] in a loss to Princess Kimberlee and The Whisper at ''CHIKARA La Loteria Letal 2018'', October 27, 2018. Shazza seemed really happy to be there and to be teaming with a CHIKARA all-timer such as Hallowicked, and, while you can't really read any emotion on Hallowicked's mask, he seemed to have no problem with her. This is quite different from when he referred to the other wrestlers in the Infinite Gauntlet match as "infidel swine."
93* PowerStable:
94** Sweet 'n' Sour International, lead by Wrestling/LarrySweeney, with a large roster, not all of whom were active in the stable at the same time.[[note]][=ShareCropper=], Mano Metalico, Crossbones, Rorschach, Claudio Castagnoli, [=UltraMantis Black=], Spyrazul, Mobius, and Flex Fenom[[/note]]
95** The Spectral Envoy - primarly a trio with UMB and Frightmare, but it also had Crossbones and Blind Rage as part time members.
96** The Nightmare Warriors, with Frightmare, Blind Rage and Silver Ant. The Batiri joined a couple months before the stable broke up.
97** The [=heXed=] Men, with Frightmare, Icarus, The Batiri, Mark Angelosetti, Jigsaw and [=UltraMantis=] Black.
98* PumpkinPerson: From his debut until his 2015 revamp. He had a pumpkin-like stem on the top of his mask, and his shirt was cut like a [=Jack-O'-Lantern=] to make a sinister smiling face.
99* RedBaron: "The Nightmare Warrior", "The Dark Minion of the Underworld", "The Broadsword"
100* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Delirious's Red. Hallowicked just stands there when the ring bell sets Delirious into his usual rampage, for instance.
101* [[HeelFaceTurn Rudo Tecnico Turn]]: He debuted as a heel and turned face after the 2006 Tag World Grand Prix.
102** [[FaceHeelTurn Tecnico Rudo Turn]]: Originally forced into it by the Eye of Tyr in December of 2014, but has come to embrace it due to the influence of Nazmaldun.
103* ShoutOut: The Symbol for Nazmaldun resembles that of the Skaven from the ''Franchise/{{Warhammer}}'' tabletop game series.
104* TagTeam:
105** Dark Breed, with [=UltraMantis Black=]. Initially a trio including Blind Rage, they continued working as a tag team until an injury to Mantis caused him to step back and act as a manager.
106** Incoherence, with Frightmare. Again, originally a trio including Delirious, the trio split up when Delirious joined the Bruderschaft.
107* TrashTheSet: He and Delirious won the CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas at ''Bruised.'' After the match, they cut a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4LjTEIVtBY celebratory promo]] while repeatedly hitting the big CHIKARA banner on the wall, causing part of it to come down onto Hallowicked.
108* TheUnintelligible: His team was called Incoherence for a reason.
109** Averted completely in 2015, with many finding him speaking perfect English to be incredibly creepy.
110* UrExample: First-ever Young Lions Cup Champion and he and Blind Rage won the first ever Tag World Grand Prix. He is also the first ever Triple Crown Champion in CHIKARA history, the inaugural [[https://www.cagematch.net//?id=5&nr=2126 [=WrestleJam=] Champion]] and the inaugural [[https://www.cagematch.net//?id=5&nr=3557 Excellence Champion]].
111
112!!!Wrestling/ChrisHero
113
114!!!Icarus (formerly Ichabod Slayne)
115* {{Brainwashed}}: Hypnotized by Nazmaldun. Snapped out of it by Nazmaldun's banishment.
116* TheChewToy: Truly a rudo everybody loved to hate, probably the single most hated rudo in CHIKARA history.
117** Until Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes came along. He actually got ''cheered'' during the Torneo [=Cibernetico=] match against them at ''The Dark [=Ciberknetico=].''
118** Defied again starting in mid-2013, as his willingness to step up and defend CHIKARA when nobody else would gradually made him beloved by fans. Until mid-2016, he was loudly cheered and chanted for.
119* DontExplainTheJoke: His Death Valley Driver (DVD) variant, in which he drives his opponent into the turnbuckles, is called the "UsefulNotes/BluRay". The name is explained: "It's just that much better than a DVD!"
120* EmbarrassingTattoo: To the point where many fans don't even know him as Icarus, just "that guy with the stupid back tattoo".
121** Tursas has referred to him on Twitter (in-character) as "Backstain."
122** It's worth noting that part of his HeelFaceTurn involved covering the tattoo up. And that it remained covered up even through his forced rudo turn.
123** In 2018, he cemented his rookie-bullying rudo turn by once again uncovering the tattoo.
124* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Was one as Ichabod Slayne, dropped when he turned Tecnico the first time and when he lost the mask and became Icarus.
125* EvilCostumeSwitch: After being conscripted by Nazmaldun, switched to a full-body black and red costume...but didn't show the tattoo.
126* FallenHero: Started showing shades of this after losing the Grand Championship to Hallowicked. Properly fell once he encountered Nazmaldun.
127* FinishingMove: Wings of Icarus (Pedigree)
128* GrumpyOldMan: His 2018 heel turn was based on him not being impressed by the latest series of Wrestle Factory graduates.
129* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Started as a rudo with the Night Shift (as Ichabod Slayne). Turned tecnico later in 2002. Back to rudo in 2005 (with Gran Akuma), then spent until mid-2013 as a rudo. Though he [[HazyFeelTurn showed signs of turning]] while teaming with Sugar Dunkerton during season 12, it took CHIKARA closing to truly cement his status as a tecnico, as he took a stand against the Titor Conglomerate when no one else would and started the [=#IAmCHIKARA=] movement. This lasted 'til mid-2016, as the {{Brainwashing}} mentioned above turned him rudo yet again. When that ended at the end of 2016, he promptly went back to being a tecnico, only to turn rudo once again in 2018.
130* {{Homage}}: His ring gear in 2013 was a tribute to Wrestling/MartyJannetty, who he idolizes.
131%%* IcarusAllusion: Of course.
132* ImprobableWeaponUser: At ''Aniversario: A Horse of Another Color'', at the start of the Spectral Envoy ([=UltraMantis=] Black[=/=]Hallowicked)[=/=]Icarus[=/=]Mister ZERO[=/=]Dragonfly vs. GEKIDO match, Icarus smashed a ''pumpkin'' he had brought with him onto [=combatANT=]'s head. Doubles as a CallBack[=/=]MythologyGag, since The Night Shift used pumpkins supplied by Mister ZERO back in 2002.
133* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When everyone else gave up on CHIKARA following ''Never Compromise'', he refused to.
134* {{Keet}}: In his early days as a tecnico.
135* LaResistance: The "lost" Season 17 saw Icarus try to organize the ''tecnicos'' against The Legion of Rot (Hallowicked, Frightmare and Kobald), which fell apart due to too many issues sending people in too many directions.
136* LargeHam: Will go to some truly ridiculous lengths to get a laugh. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOb9GtAe0_8 Like being on the receiving end of a swirlie from Mr. Touchdown]].
137* {{Leitmotif}}: For several of his Ashes videos, a simple piano melody that plays during the introductory scenes. It was later incorporated into his post-Ashes theme, [[http://www.amazon.com/Soar-Icarus-Theme/dp/B00PIF8FBI/ Soar]].
138* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Was able to successfully wield The Estonian Thunderfrog's Hammer of War against Deucalion. As of September 2015, however, he was no longer able to wield it.
139* PowerStable:
140** (as Ichabod Slayne in CHIKARA): Night Shift, with Blind Rage and Hallowicked.
141** (as Icarus): Wrestling/TheKingsOfWrestling
142*** From 2005 forward, he is the BigBad of any version of Team F.I.S.T., which has also included Gran Akuma, Wrestling/ChuckTaylor, Wrestling/JohnnyGargano, Sugar Dunkerton, Travis Huckabee and Tony Deppen.
143** Dasher's Dugout in the Challenge of the Immortals tournament, with Dasher Hatfield, "Mr. Touchdown" Mark Angelosetti and Heidi Lovelace.
144** The [=heXed=] Men, led by Hallowicked, with Frightmare, The Batiri, Mark Angelosetti, Jigsaw and Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}}.
145** The Furies, with Fire Ant, Ophidian, Obariyon, The [=Rumblebees=] (Wrestling/SoloDarling and Travis Huckabee) and Team Sea Stars.
146* RedBaron: "The Winged Ring Warrior". Potentially misleading, as he isn't really a high flyer.
147** Hallowicked dubbed him "the Morning Star".
148* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: He's named Icarus and is [[PartsUnknown billed from]] "Mount Olympus," both taken from [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek Mythology]].
149* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: When towel snapped in the back of the head by Shane Storm [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u32ZtZs0Odk after losing his hair for the first time]].
150* ShoutOut: His post-Ashes look and ring gear were one to ''Series/TheGreatestAmericanHero''. The theme song was also invoked for him twice during the Ashes video series, but inexplicably replaced for the movie.
151** For a time, he was cutting promos in a voice clearly modeled after [[Wrestling/UltimateWarrior The Ultimate Warrior]].
152* SympatheticMurderer: He killed Deucalion at the Season 14 finale. Given that Deucalion was the most evil person ever to step foot into CHIKARA with a fatality rate nearly into the double digits, few tears were shed for him.
153
154!!!Jigsaw
155* {{Brainwashed}}: Unconfirmed but possibly the reason for his sudden turn to the side of Nazmaldun.
156* TheCameo: Made some appearances for [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] in 2012, 2013 and 2014 as "Rubix."
157* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: As of 2017, removed from the Chikara roster without anything in the way of explanation.
158* FinishingMove: Jig N' Tonic (Belly to back piledriver)
159* HazyFeelTurn: Mid 2014, left GEKIDO and The Flood rather than beat up his brother, but without returning to CHIKARA, only declaring that he was going to "find his own way."
160* GreenEyedMonster: His motivation for turning on Quackenbush at the end of Season 12.
161* TheLancer: To Quack from his mid-2000s return to Chikara until backstabbing him to join GEKIDO in 2012.
162* [[HeelFaceTurn Rudo Tecnico Turn]]: In 2004.
163* [[FaceHeelTurn Tecnico Rudo Turn]]: Jigsaw turned on Quack in late 2012 after Quack started trying to injure the GEKIDO wrestlers, saying that they need guidance not broken bones. Although Jig's point is acknowledged even by the tecnicos to have some merit, in his first match post-turn he wrestled as a pure Rudo. Also, it's been speculated that the reason he gave was just to cover up the real reason he turned - he was tired of being Quackenbush's Lancer and wanted to become the Quackenbush of GEKIDO.
164* MotiveDecay: Although his stated reason for turning heel was disagreement with Quack's method of handling the GEKIDO and the implied reason was jealousy, after turning he doesn't seem to have any particular motivations other than Be A Heel ForTheEvulz.
165* PartsUnknown: "TheBermudaTriangle"
166* PowerStable:
167** (in CHIKARA): The Future Is Now, GEKIDO, The Flood and The [=heXed=] Men
168** (in Dragon Gate USA): CHIKARA Sekigun
169** (in Ring of Honor): Vulture Squad
170* {{Portmanteau}}: His team with Mike Quackenbush was nicknamed [=QuackSaw=], and his team with Shane Storm was [=ShaneSaw=].
171* PowerTrio: The Toxic Trio, with Wrestling/EddieKingston and Blackjack Marciano
172* RedBaron: [[ARiddleWrappedInAMysteryInsideAnEnigma "A Wrestling Riddle Wrapped in an Enigma"]]
173* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In September 2014, he left GEKIDO and The Flood rather than beat up his brother Jolly Roger, but without returning to CHIKARA, only declaring that he was going to "find his own way". Didn't appear in anything CHIKARA-related from then until December 2015, when he appeared in a ''Top Banana'' hype video, then disappeared again 'til May 2016, where he made his return during the Infinite Gauntlet.
174* TagTeam:
175** The Conundrum, with Rorschach
176** Pieces of Hate, with The Shard
177* WhatTheHellHero: Invoked by Jigsaw against Quackenbush during the feud with GEKIDO.
178* WrestlingFamily: His brother is Jolly Roger. This wasn't really acknowledged until 2014 and the aforementioned situation where Jigsaw quit The Flood rather than beat up Roger.
179
180!!!Wrestling/EddieKingston
181
182!!!Marshall Law
183* PunnyName: Martial Law.
184* SignatureMove: Capitol Punishment
185* TagTeam: Beauty and the Beast, w[=/=]Love Bug
186* WrestlingDoesntPay: A wrestling policeman.
187
188!!!Love Bug
189* SignatureMove: Bon Bon Drop
190* TagTeam: Beauty and the Beast, w[=/=]Marshall Law
191
192!!!Zane Madrox
193* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After only a handful of appearances from May-June 2002.
194
195!!![=BlackJack=] Marciano
196
197One of the members of the second class, who debuted in 2002. From the very start, he was a tag partner of his childhood friend Eddie Kingston dubbed the Wild Cards. For much of his time in wrestling, the duo caused much trouble in CHIKARA, feuding with Team F.I.S.T. and Ultra-ZERO. However, he suddenly retired early in 2005, and has not been seen since then.
198
199* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Vanished by the start of 2005. Some explanations outside of CHIKARA is Chris Hero kicking him out of all of wrestling or retiring of a knee injury he got in Canada in the winter of 2004, and to this day remains perhaps the most notable CHIKARA trainee to have never returned.
200* TheDragon: Was this in the Toxic Trio of him, Kingston and a still-Rudo Jigsaw.
201* NoodleIncident: For years Kingston would mention [=BlackJack=]'s departure from wrestling as one of the reasons for his horrible attitude, always trying to make it sound as if [=BlackJack=] was forced out without explicitly saying so.
202%%* LargeHam
203* PlayingCardMotifs: The Jack of Spades. Hence the name [="BlackJack."=]
204
205!!!Wrestling/MercedesMartinez
206
207!!!Mr. ZERO
208* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Briefly was one, then become a Good one.
209* FinishingMove: Last Shaven Unicorn Drop
210* PutOnABus: By Icarus. He's returned a couple of times but is more or less retired from wrestling.
211* RuleOfFunny: He'd bring a cup of coffee and a newspaper with him to the ring. One of his big moves was the [=Newspaperlock=], where he'd sit on his opponent's back in a Camel Clutch position and read a newspaper.
212* RedBaron: "The Middle-Aged Corporate Tyrant"
213* TagTeam:
214** [=UltraZero=], with [=UltraMantis=]
215** Men @ Work, w[=/=]Shane Storm
216* UrExample: Defeated Dragonfly in the first match in CHIKARA history.
217
218!!!Don Montoya
219* {{Acrofatic}}: Very agile for a guy his size.
220* TheBigGuy: For the Black T-Shirt Squad.
221* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Was gone by the end of 2003 to go back to Jersey All-Pro Wrestling.
222
223!!!Phantasmo
224* PutOnABus: After a series of on-and-off appearances from 2002-2004.
225
226!!!Wrestling/CMPunk
227At one time, CM Punk was considered one of the founding fathers of Chikara. That ended after he no-showed an event and instead of apologizing, bashed Chikara as insignificant. He hasn't worked there since, and Chikara retaliated by creating CP Munk.
228
229!!!Mike Quackenbush
230* TheAce: From CHIKARA's inception to at least 2008, possibly until 2011 when he lost in the 12 Large Summit final to Eddie Kingston.
231* ArchEnemy: His most hated rival over the years would have to be Chris Hero. After Hero left Chikara, it became Claudio Castagnoli.
232* AuthorAppeal: Wrestling/JushinThunderLiger, Wrestling/ManamiToyota, ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'', Mexican wrestling, British wrestling legends Johnny Saint and Johnny Kidd, [[Wrestling/SatoruSayama Tiger Mask]], ''Series/{{Lost}}'', ComicBooks, {{Anime}}, Music/TalkingHeads, ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'', ''ComicBook/XMen''...[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and]] references to failed early 1990s Wrestling/{{WWE}} gimmicks Kwang and Max Moon.
233** He once said in an interview that, with everyone trying to be "xtreme," he wanted CHIKARA to be "wacky."
234* BadassTeacher: He was heavily involved in training many of the wrestlers who have been on CHIKARA's roster at one point or another.
235* BigGood: In the feud with Wrestling/TheKingsOfWrestling.
236* BigShutUp: He gave one to [=UltraMantis=] Black in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsL_bjwJ3u8 this video]] when Mantis objected to Quack calling him an idiot for giving Vökoder (Tim Donst) the Eye of Tyr, which Donst then gave to Ares following the formation of Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes.
237* BlackAndGrayMorality: Quack's been deliberately trying to give the GEKIDO wrestlers career ending injuries, and succeeded with 2 of them. But he only started doing this as a response to GEKIDO doing it, and he says he's doing it to protect his roster from GEKIDO and others like them.
238* BrokenPedestal: He was genuinely surprised in Dragon Gate when Yamato, whom he held among the best wrestlers in Japan, kicked him below the belt.
239* ChekhovsGun: The counter to the CHIKARA Special, since the only reason anyone would insist on creating a counter to his own finisher is because it would be important to the story later on, which is exactly what happened.
240* TheComicallySerious[=/=]StraightMan[=/=]OnlySaneMan: To the wackier antics in CHIKARA. Generally, if the situation doesn't call for him to be serious, he's this, as seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgfvLCoWzkk this promo]] with him telling Frightmare about how he needs to start focusing on the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-yl.html CHIKARA Young Lion's Cup]], with Hallowicked presumably telling Frightmare the same thing in [[TheUnintelligible his own way]], and Quack saying, "You heard the man."
241* {{Determinator}}[=/=]MadeOfIron: He suffered a concussion during his IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Title match with Wrestling/JoeyRyan which was a quarterfinal in the ''IWA Mid-South: 2007 [[Wrestling/ThePublicEnemyTagTeam Ted Petty]] Invitational Tournament'', September 29, 2007. Despite that, he managed to ''win'' the match, and, ultimately, the tournament that same night.
242* FinishingMove: Several.
243** The Quackendriver (4 versions QD-QD IV)
244** Lightning Lock Beta
245** The CHIKARA Special, which he innovated. He then invented a few different variants.
246* HeWhoFightsMonsters: In 2012. With the GEKIDO invasion, Quack has been getting increasingly vicious in his attacks on GEKIDO's members.
247* TheHost: He was the original one for CHIKARA's weekly Website/YouTube series "[=Podcast=]-A-Go-Go."
248* ImpersonationGambit: At ''CHIKARA Young Lions Cup II'', Night II, July 31, 2004, there was a trios match where the Dark Breed (Hallowicked and Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}}) and DJ Skittles defeated the Sweet 'n' Sour International team of Spyrazul, Mobius and Flex Fenom. At ''Retribution Rumble of Revenge and Rumble to Remember'', August 27th, there was an ''atomicos'' (8-man tag match) with Jigsaw[=/=]Jolly Roger[=/=]Men @ Work (Mister ZERO and Shane Storm) vs. the Sweet 'n' Sour International team of Larry Sweeney, Spyrazul, Rorschach and Crossbones, which Jigsaw's team won. Before the match, Sweeney was asking where Quackenbush was. Shane Storm defeated Spyrazul at ''Beware of Barely Badd Blasts and/or Blood Brawls on the Beach'' on September 25th. At ''The Cibernetico Cometh'' on October 30th, there was the first-ever Torneo Cibernetico match, with Jigsaw's team (Jigsaw[=/=]Men @ Work[=/=]F.I.S.T. [Icarus & Gran Akuma][=/=]Jolly Roger and Private Eye[=/=]DJ Skittles) vs. Sweet 'n' Sour International (Sweeney/Spyrazul/Sharecropper/The Dark Breed/Crossbones/Mano Metallico/Rorschach.) When the match was down to Jigsaw vs. Sweeney/Spyrazul/Rorschach, Spyrazul hit a Black Tornado Slam on Rorschach and allowed Jigsaw to pin Rorschach. Spyrazul removed his mask to reveal, of course, Quackenbush. Quack threw the mask at Sweeney, wished Jigsaw luck and got himself counted out. This led to Jigsaw pinning Sweeney to win the match.
249* PapaWolf: Toward his students and toward CHIKARA itself, as GEKIDO had the misfortune of finding out for themselves.
250* PowerStable:
251** [[Wrestling/LarrySweeney Sweet 'n' Sour International]] (under a mask as Spyrazul. See above.)
252** (in Dragon Gate USA and EVOLVE): CHIKARA Sekigun, with Jigsaw, Hallowicked and Frightmare.
253* PutOnABus: Vanished off the CHIKARA roster in 2013, after he received a packet of information regarding the Vavasseurs' company, Titor Conglomerate.
254** The reason is Quack wanted to step out of the spotlight and leave the company to the next generation of wrestlers (though he's still there behind the scenes). He's mostly retired now.
255* RedBaron: "Lightning," "The Master of a Thousand Holds"
256* RedOniBlueOni: The rational, scientific Blue to Eddie Kingston's Red. That said, as his RoaringRampageOfRevenge against GEKIDO showed, he could also be a case of BewareTheNiceOnes[=/=]YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry. It's not that he and King are similar, just that they'd get angry for different reasons.
257* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: The booker for CHIKARA.
258* ShoutOut: He chose the name "Lightning" as a tribute to one of his heroes, [[Wrestling/JushinThunderLiger Jushin "Thunder" Liger]].
259* SoLastSeason: {{Subverted| trope}}. He pinned Wrestling/BryanDanielson with the Alligator Clutch, not seen as a "legit" finishing move since the days of George Becker! Even in Becker's days it often failed.
260* TagTeam:
261** The Black T-Shirt Squad, w[=/=]Don Montoya and Wrestling/RecklessYouth
262** The [=Superfriends=], w[=/=]Chris Hero
263** Team [=Frightning=], w[=/=]Hallowicked and Frightmare
264* TooManyBelts: Held ''six'' titles at once in 2004, from promotions in the U.S., Mexico and Germany, calling them the "I-Crown," a tribute to the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/japan/newjapan/jcrown.html Octuple J-Crown]], which combined 8 different Junior Heavyweight/Light Heavyweight Title from 1996-1997. At the Season 3 opener, ''Kids Eat Free on Tuesdays'', he announced a gauntlet match, ultimately won by Jigsaw, to determine the Number #1 contender to all of them. As shown above, he held six different titles a second time, in 2007-2008.
265* TheUnfettered: As of ''High Noon'', when Kingston beat Quack for the Grand Championship, Quack feels like he's not the face of the company anymore and thus doesn't have any obligation to take the high road against invaders like GEKIDO.
266-->If you think, for some reason, we're going to stand idly by while you come in here and try to wreck what we have built over the last eleven seasons, '''''I''''' will greet you at the door and '''''I''''' will ''break your bones''.
267* UnreliableNarrator: At ''King of Trios 2010'', he told Jigsaw that there wasn't a counter for the Inverted CHIKARA Special. During the Torneo Cibernetico between Team CHIKARA[[note]][=UltraMantis=]/Quack/Kingston/Jigsaw[=/=][=Hallowicked=][=/=]carus[=/=]STIGMA (formerly Shane Storm)[=/=]Sweeney[[/note]]-BDK[[note]]Ares[=/=]Claudio[=/=]Tursas[=/=]Pinkie Sanchez[=/=]Donst[=/=]Wrestling/SaraDelRey[=/=]Wrestling/DaizeeHaze[=/=][[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]][[/note]] at ''The Dark Ciberknetico'' on October 23, 2010, Donst locked the hold on Quack...and Quack escaped, with Donst ''saying'', "You said there wasn't a counter!" Justified, since Shane Storm giving the counter to the CHIKARA Special to Mantis to give to Chris Hero for his Hair vs. Mask match vs. Equinox (Vin Gerard) at ''The Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence'' on November 17, 2007 was the first big step toward the debut of the BDK in the first place.
268
269!!!Wrestling/RecklessYouth
270
271!!!Mitch Ryder
272
273* EvilOldFolks: Only in his 40s but that's still pretty old for pro wrestling.
274%%* HotBlooded[=/=]NoIndoorVoice: Check any of his promos.
275* PlayingWithFire: Used the old Memphis Fireball a couple of times, surprisingly enough.
276* WhosLaughingNow: At ''Bruised'', October 26, 2007, he interfered in Quack's [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/nwa/world/nwa-j.html NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title]] defense against Lince Dorado. This was followed by Chuck Taylor handcuffing Quack to the ropes while Ryder whipped Dorado with a belt. Ryder berated the fans and asked this very question word for word in a very serious tone.
277
278!!!Wrestling/SumieSakai
279
280!!!Melvin Snodgrass
281* RedBaron: "The Ornery Octogenarian from the Old Folks' Home"
282* RingOldies: His gimmick was that he was a feeble geriatric in his 80s.
283* TagTeam: The Senior Assault Team, with Lester Crabtree
284
285!!!Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}} (formerly just [=UltraMantis=])

288[[folder:People Who First Wrestled in 2003]]
289
290!!!Ares
291* BaldOfEvil: A very shiny shaved head.
292* BeardOfEvil: Started with a chinstrap. Later grew a full although fairly close shaved beard.
293* BigBad: From 2010 to the end of 2011.
294* EarlyBirdCameo: Was in the 2003 Tag World Grand Prix, had a match in 2005 against Quackenbush, and went back to Europe until Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes formed.
295* ForeignWrestlingHeel: From Switzerland.
296* PutOnABus: Was forced out of CHIKARA on the final show of 2011. He returned in 2013 with new BDK compatriots, Milo Schnitzler and Nøkken, to destroy Wrestling is Cool and announce his aim to reclaim the Eye of Tyr. He then returned to CHIKARA proper in 2014 as part of The Flood. In the fall of 2014 he was bussed out again when Jakob Hammermeier usurped control of the BDK.
297** TheBusCameBack: Has recently returned, announcing his aim to reclaim the Eye of Tyr and also destroyed Wrestling is Cool . With his factionmates, he continued to appear with and wrestle for the Flood until Jakob Hammermeier put him back on the bus at King of Trios 2014.
298* PornStache: In his 2014 return, he'd traded in his evil beard for one of these. He'd also started buzzing his hair instead of shaving it.
299* WrestlingFamily: Married to Allison Danger in RealLife.
300
301!!! Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli
302
303!!!Robbie Ellis
304* CoolOldGuy: He took part in the Strut-Off at the start of his and Larry Sweeney's match against F.I.S.T (Icarus and Gran Akuma) at ''Cibernetico Begins.''
305** He's also co-owner of the gallery that purchased CHIKARA from the Titor Conglomerate.
306Capable of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0io7KxXMmCA hitting moves]] that no wrestler his age should even think of doing.
307* RedBaron: "The ''Magazine/SportsIllustrated'' Legend"
308* RingOldies: Is a legit one, well into his 60's.
309
310!!!Wrestling/JimmyJacobs
311
312!!!Jolly Roger
313* CommutingOnABus: Since Icarus removed him from the full-time roster, he made sporadic appearances for CHIKARA and the Wrestling Is promotions, even reviving Knight Eye for the Pirate Guy and temporarily being in possession of the physical Campeonatos de Parejas title belts. This has seemingly ended as of King of Trios 2014, when the Flood-aligned GEKIDO put him back on the bus for good.
314* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Brother]]: Let's just say that Jolly Roger didn't think Jigsaw refusing to beat him up was enough to redeem him from having turned on Chikara and sided with [=The Flood/GEKIDO=] instead.
315* {{Parody Name|s}}: Knight Eye for the Pirate Guy is one to ''[[Series/QueerEye Queer Eye For The Straight Guy]]''.
316* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: He is a pirate. He wrestles, but has never done any pirating. He never even stole another wrestler's leather jacket.
317* PutOnABus: By Icarus.
318** When Kevin Condron went on his anti-Quackenbush twitter rant in May 2017, Jolly Roger spoke up in support of Condron and said that Quackenbush had blacklisted him for refusing to attend a show he'd already said he wouldn't be at.
319* TagTeam: Knight Eye for the Pirate Guy, w[=/=]Lance Steel
320* WrestlingFamily: He's Jigsaw's brother.
321
322!!!Private Eye
323* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He just sort of vanished.
324* FacelessEye: His head is literally one giant Eye.
325* GenerationXerox: With the introduction of Private Eye Jr.
326
327!!!Rorschach
328* LeanAndMean: He was pretty skinny and worked as a heel his entire career.
329* LesserStar: Of The Conundrum.
330* TheMole: He's revealed to be Gary the Barn Owl's mole in CHIKARA in the Submission Impossible video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YrneflZI_c Inside Info]]".
331
332!!!Skayde
333* CoolTeacher: Was acknowledged as one when he was a trainer in the Wrestle Factory.
334* FallenHero: The whole 2010 King of Trios scandal[[note]]Skayde was handling the booking of Team Mexico, he tried to extort more money from Chikara and then arranged alternate booking for the members of Team Mexico anyway, causing Chikara to have to find a replacement team and blacklist Skayde[[/note]] made him a real one in CHIKARA.
335* MaskedLuchador
336[[/folder]]
337
338[[folder:People Who First Wrestled in 2004]]
339
340!!!Arik Cannon
341
342* EightiesHair: A PunkRock Mohawk.
343* AbhorrentAdmirer: For Heidi Lovelace, since he gave her [[KissOfDistraction Kisses Of Distraction]] in a variety of promotions. In Heidi's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0ZUKU1lgSw final]] CHIKARA promo, before her match with Cannon at ''CHIKARA White Rabbit'', she even speculates that Cannon might have a "secret crush" and that it might have been the reason why he held back during their matches.
344* {{Bomb Throwing Anarchist|s}}: This was his gimmick, although he didn't actually throw bombs.
345* TheBrute: Like most gaijin heels, ended up as this in the heel stable - at the time Cannon was in Dragon Gate, that was the Muscle Outlawz.
346%%* CelebrityResemblance: To the Kool-Aid Man
347* DelinquentHair: A mohawk to rival Yasushi Kanda's classic one from his [=M2K=] days.
348* FinishingMove: Anarchist Hammer, Glimmering Warlock, Total Anarchy
349* HillbillyMoonshiner: As a member of The Moonshinin' Men Of UsefulNotes/{{Appalachia}} in Wrestling/OldeWrestling.
350* {{Jobber}}: In a funny way. Cannon had gone to Japan to work for a different promotion, and that fell through. He went to Dragon Gate, who said they could use him, but because the writing for the shows was finished, they couldn't let him win any matches. Cannon said that was fine. As such, he was presented as a beast and mauled the faces before getting pinned in almost every match he participated in. They gave him a couple wins at the very end of his run.
351* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: His main motivation for wrestling at FEST is to see Jawbreaker, Less Than Jake, Against Me, Tim Barry, Masked Intruder and all the other bands that perform under the banner.
352* OneSteveLimit: He and Arik Royal were in Wrestling/ProWrestlingGuerilla at the same time.
353* PowerStable:
354** (in CHIKARA): He was one of the founding members of Wrestling/TheKingsOfWrestling.
355** (in [[Wrestling/DragonGate Dragon Gate USA]]): [=DUF=] ('''D'''irty '''U'''gly '''F'''ucks), with Pinkie Sanchez and Wrestling/SamiCallihan
356** (in DREAMWAVE): Deep Six
357* StoutStrength: Pudgy and soft around the edges, but able to execute power moves on pretty much any face on the roster.
358* TagTeam: AC/DC, with Darin Corbin
359
360!!!Crossbones
361* TheBartender: At the Fujiwara Arm Bar in the final ''Ashes'' video, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-_R7udfIgQ Workin'"]].
362* BigDamnHeroes: Became a regular part of his character in later years.
363** At ''Martyr Yourself To Caution'' on September 18, 2011, [=UltraMantis=] Black attacked [[Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes The BDK]]'s Ares following Ares' match with Marshe Rockett of Da Soul Touchaz. The Dark Army (Sinn Bohdi, The Batiri, and Kobald) attacked the Spectral Envoy (Mantis, Hallowicked and Frightmare) with Crossbones running in with the flag of Mantis' former faction the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple to be the fourth man for the Envoy team.
364** At ''High Noon'' on November 13th, the BDK's Jakob Hammermeier interfered during the Envoy (Mantis/Hallowicked)-BDK (Ares/Tim Donst) ''Lucha de Apuesta'' match, with Crossbones again running in with the flag and chasing Jakob away.
365** The Dark Army ([[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]], Ophidian and the Batiri) ran in during the Envoy-Team Wrestling/RingOfHonor (Mike Bennett and Wrestling/TheYoungBucks [Matt and Nick Jackson]) tournament final at ''King of Trios 2012 Night III'', September 16, 2012, with Crossbones again involving himself, taking out Delirious and helping to fight off the Batiri.
366%%* CoolMask: As seen above.
367* DeadpanSnarker: Oh yeah. As one example, he crossed this with a blatant parody of SoBeautifulItsACurse at ''Young Lions Cup III Night II'', July 23, 2005. After his opponent Shiima Xion had introduced himself as the first Filipino model wrestler, Crossbones [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mda4Mbtiuns claimed]] to be the first male model from PartsUnknown. He added that he had to wear a mask because all the ladies would run to him if he wrestled without it.
368* DemBones: His appearance is of a skeleton, though not played up as much as it is with Wrestling/LaParka.
369* FacialMarkings: As Oni in CZW.
370* FinishingMove: Friggin' Sweet Driver, Enzuigiri
371* HesBack: [[https://twitter.com/itscrossbones/status/836701807422423040 Announced his return]] in February 2017.
372* GodzillaThreshold: He made his return to CHIKARA at ''CHIKARA Aniversario: School Reunion'' to face Merlok, a big wrestling piranha who has been brutalizing his opponents.[[note]]At CHIKARA Hour of Power #7, April 23, 2017, Merlok's match with Ashley Vox went to a no-contest, due to Merlok attacking Ashley's cornerwoman Jawsolyn, first dumping her on garbage cans, then throwing her around backstage and finally shoving her into a refrigerator. CHIKARA Director of Fun Mike Quackenbush, who was on commentary, said that he was cutting the stream. The copyright notice then came up on the screen.[[/note]] Merlok defeated Crossbones, meaning that Merlok's destructive behavior will continue.
373* IAmBigBoned: Played with. Mentioned by name in [[https://twitter.com/itscrossbones/status/127013251543339008 this Twitter post]]. Other times he talks about losing weight.
374* {{Jerkass}}: Toward his partner Mano Metalico in 2005, since, at ''CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix 2005 Night I'', February 18, 2005, and at ''CHIKARA Don't Eat the Black One'' on March 19th, Crossbones would use Mano to demonstrate how to kick someone. At the latter show, he even brought in people from the audience to kick Mano.
375* ManBitesMan: He bit [=Unstable=] member STIGMA's arm during the ''Trios Increibles'' match where he teamed with Team F.I.S.T. member Icarus and [=Unstable=] member Colin Delaney against [=UltraMantis=] Black, STIGMA and Team F.I.S.T. member Wrestling/ChuckTaylor at ''CHIKARA Cibernetico Increible'', October 18th, 2009.
376* MoodWhiplash: At ''Time Will Prove Everything'', March 24, 2007, he faced Create-A-Wrestler (today, Dasher Hatfield). In his promo, Crossbones [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wknkxux43dk questioned the logic]] of such a gimmick, and called C-A-W "a nobody," "a loser" and a "dead man." Then Icarus walked over and told Crossbones, "Good job with ComicBook/CaptainAmerica," and Crossbones responded with a chipper "Thanks, buddy."
377* PartsUnknown: "Jerk Town, NJ"
378* PowerStable:
379** Sweet 'n' Sour International
380** The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple
381** The Spectral Envoy
382* ProductPlacement: The [=DVD=] cover for ''CHIKARA The Mint Condition'' was a picture of Crossbones holding a York Peppermint Pattie with the logo in full view.
383* PutOnABus: As a result of Delirious breaking his clavicle in May 2010. It was his end as a full time wrestler in CHIKARA. He'd resurface ''Martyr Yourself to Caution'', and make a few more one-offs over the years.
384* RealMenWearPink: Wore a pink mask for a time.
385* RedBaron: "The Heavyweight Horror"
386* TattooedCrook: His arms are ''covered'' with tattoos. He also did Mantis' tats.
387* TheUnfavourite: In the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple, as Mantis would fawn over Hydra, Tim Donst and Delirious while ignoring or belittling Crossbones, as seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJJ1IqbqQY8 this promo]] from ''CHIKARA Three-Fisted Tales'', November 22, 2009. This is despite the fact that Crossbones was the only one who was loyal, as Hydra left, and Delirious and Tim Donst (disguised as Vökoder) both turned on Mantis and joined the BDK, and that Crossbones was usually the OnlySaneMan of the group.
388* WouldHitAGirl: Came close to the parodied variation in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-COR1PS672k promo]] before the mixed trios match at ''CHIKARA The Global Gauntlet Night I'', October 18, 2008, where he teamed with Ryan and Madison Eagles in a loss to the Colony (Fire Ant and Soldier Ant) and [[Wrestling/BillieKay Jessie McKay]], saying, "Equal rights, equal fights!"
389** AscendedMeme: Mike Quackenbush has used the "Equal rights, equal fights" line in reference to CHIKARA eliminating gender barriers, and Heidi Lovelace used it in her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0ZUKU1lgSw final CHIKARA promo]], before her match with Arik Cannon at ''CHIKARA White Rabbit''.
390
391!!!Allison Danger
392* TagTeam: [[TomboyishName You Can Call Me Al]] with Alere Little Feather
393* WrestlingFamily: The real-life sister of Steve Corino, and is married to Ares.
394
395!!!Joker
396
397* TakeThat: Also wrestled as [[Wrestling/ColtCabana "Colt [=CaBunny=]"]], the tag team partner of CP Munk. See below.
398
399!!!Mano Metallico
400* TheBrute: In Sweet 'n' Sour International
401%%* ButtMonkey
402* MadeOfIron: His gimmick was that his hand was, but about all of him was due to the abuse he would take from everybody in and maybe not in a match.
403* MightyGlacier: About 6'3" and 300 lbs, and as agile as you'd expect from someone that size (not at all). He hit pretty hard though.
404* WithFriendsLikeThese: Crossbones was a lousy partner back then, he was usually the one who started Dragon Kicking him when he was seated on the ring!
405** Crossbones would even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4u3Hnys8DY give everyone else pointers]] on how to properly Dragon Kick him!
406
407!!!Sabian
408* OddFriendship: With Jigsaw. Originally they tagged so Sabian could get a shot at Jigsaw's [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-yl.hml CHIKARA Young Lions Cup]], but continued teaming for a while anyways.
409* TagTeam: [=BLKOUT=], with different combinations of Eddie Kingston, Joker and Ruckus.
410
411!!![=ShareCropper=]
412* TheDragon: To Larry Sweeney in Sweet 'n' Sour International.
413* OddFriendship: With Larry Sweeney.
414* PartsUnknown: A rare subversion, since while he was announced from "The Topsoil of Mother Earth," everyone says he is from North Platte, Nebraska.
415
416!!!Lance Steel (both I and II...and possibly a III)
417* AntiquatedLinguistics: The first (the second was much more modern).
418* TheBusCameBack: A Lance Steel (unknown if a new one or one of the previous ones) was heavily involved in the 2019 "The Crucible" storyline.
419%%* KnightInShiningArmor: Both
420%%** BlackKnight: The first one after turning Rudo.
421%%* OneSteveLimit: Parodied.
422
423!!!STIGMA (formerly Shane Storm)
424* AlliterativeName: '''S'''hane '''S'''torm.
425%%* TheBrute: In The [=UnStable=].
426* TheBusCameBack: After disappearing from Chikara in 2012, participated in an 11 vs 11 match at National Pro Wrestling Day 2015 under his Shane Storm gimmick.
427* CallBack: Because of the need to unite the roster, STIGMA, of all people, was on Team CHIKARA[[note]]STIGMA[=/=]Mike Quackenbush[=/=][=UltraMantis=] Black[=/=]Wrestling/EddieKingston[=/=]Hallowicked[=/=]Icarus[=/=]Jigsaw[=/=]Wrestling/LarrySweeney[[/note]] for the Torneo Cibernetico against the BDK[[note]]Ares[=/=]Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli[=/=]Tursas[=/=]Pinkie Sanchez[=/=]Tim Donst[=/=]Wrestling/SaraDelRey[=/=]Wrestling/DaizeeHaze[=/=][[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]][[/note]] at ''The Dark Ciberknetico'', October 23, 2010. He wore a Shane Storm mask on his way to the ring before removing it.
428* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: When he quit the [=UnStable=] instead of starting something new he just vanished without explanation.
429* DarkerAndEdgier: STIGMA. As Chikara was getting more serious in its characters and booking, Shane Storm began to stick out in a bad way, so they turned him heel and changed his gimmick.
430* EvenEvilHasStandards: Invoked when he left Vin Gerard and the [=UnStable=].
431* EvilCostumeSwitch: When he became STIGMA. Of course, no way was his Shane Storm get-up going to work as a Rudo.
432* FinishingMove:
433** (as Shane Storm): That Japanese Move (Shining Wizard)
434** (as STIGMA): Stigmata (Tombstone Piledriver)
435* IDidWhatIHadToDo: His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkqmpwfrJHI explanation]] for why he gave Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}} the secret to the CHIKARA Special.
436* KudzuPlot: The fact that he and Mike Quackenbush had 3 points towards a shot at the Campeonatos de Parejas that they never cashed in because Quack attacked him before the match started. Like a less-lame version of WCW's "white hummer angle"[[note]]See Wrestling/SidEudy's YMMV page[[/note]] it would get mentioned semi-regularly but nothing would ever happen towards resolving it. It was resolved when, after Chikara reopened in 2014, the points record for the Campeonatos was reset.
437* NonIronicClown: Well, his mask as Shane Storm certainly looked the part at least.
438* PartsUnknown: (as Shane Storm): "The Pennsylvania Turnpike"
439* PutOnABus: Lost a match (with the [=UnStable=]) against 3.0 where the losing team would be forced to break up. He can be seen most often in Grand Slam Wrestling under his Shane Storm gimmick.
440* RuleOfFunny: As Storm he carries around a STOP[=/=]SLOW sign, forcing his opponent to either stand in place for an indefinite amount of time or move in slow motion.
441* TagTeam: (as Shane Storm), Men @ Work, w[=/=]Mr. Zero
442* WrestlingDoesntPay: Originally a unionized traffic regulator.

463* OffWithHisHead: Courtesy of Oleg the Usurper.
464* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The joke behind Dragon Dragon was to act as a piss-take on wrestlers with "Dragon" in their names -- Wrestling/UltimoDragon, Dragon Lee, Super Dragon, etc. -- by being an ''actual'' dragon. No wings or horns, can't breath fire, but mostly green, and with a big head. He got over, though, and, Eddie Kingston put him over huge on commentary in his debut match at ''Running in the Red''.

486* WorkedShoot: Vin beat Eddie Kingston clean via STF one ''day'' before being released by Chikara in October 2011, giving Kingston his only loss in the tournament to crown the inaugural Grand Champion. Kingston ended up winning the title. Meanwhile, Vin spent some time on other indies releasing tweets and [=YouTube=] videos demanding a title shot against Kingston, and it seemed as though this was building towards a big, possibly inter-fed, angle. Instead he was abruptly rehired in February 2012, got his title shot, lost in 10 minutes and was re-released.
487
488!!!Drew Gulak

502* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He was supposed to be a heel, but as a 130 pound power wrestler heeling didn't go very well for him.
503* [[HeroicSacrifice Non-Heroic Sacrifice]]: Sacrificed himself to end Shane Storm's losing streak at ''The Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence'', November 11, 2007, after Storm gave [=UltraMantis=] Black the counter to the CHIKARA Special who passed it on to Chris Hero.

509* TakeThat: Used for a rip on WWE at ''Style and Substance'' on September 7, 2008.

[=Chikarason=] congratulated him on the win but questioned his physique, mentioning CHIKARA's "wellness program" and told Hydra he would see him on Monday to discuss the issue further.
510* TheUnintelligible: Not much beyond grunts as Hydra.

570!!!3.0 (Shane Matthews & Scott "Jagged" Parker)
571* AlterEgoActing: Matthews and Parker were introduced as 2.0. In 2010, they mysteriously started calling themselves the Badd Boyz, Brad (Shane) and Chadd (Scott). At ''Wit, Verve and a Bit o'Nerve,'' March 20, 2010, there was supposed to be a match between 2.0 and the Badd Boyz, but 2.0 didn't come out. After they were counted out, the Badd Boyz explained that they '''were''' 2.0 all along, but they changed their names because they hadn't been winning very often. They then went back to their own names and renamed the team 3.0. This doubled as their HeelFaceTurn.
572* AsideGlance: Twice in Ashes videos: a blatant one during "Deja Vu" (with a faint noise accompanying it, a la Film/HotFuzz)[[note]] Not present in the version of the scene used for the Ashes movie[[/note]], and a quick, possibly unintentional one during "When?".
573* TheBusCameBack: In time to compete at King of Trios 2015. Since then, has been CommutingOnABus for sporadic appearances.

577* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Vanished from CHIKARA with no explanation after being defeated by the Throwbacks at ''For Your Eyes Only''.
578* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Jagged can be this to Shane Matthews, as he's usually the more mellow member of the 3.0 team.
579* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Well, they came close. At ''Eye to Eye'', September 18, 2010, they [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq5q18ZDJbI challenged]] Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes (Ares and Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli) for the Campeonatos de Parejas. The BDK won the first fall in five seconds due to [[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]] attacking before the bell. During the second fall, Jagged ducked a kick from Claudio, causing him to hit Ares, and rolled Claudio up for the pin. That was the first time the BDK had ever lost a fall in a [=CdP=] match. Along with Frightmare defeating Lince Dorado in the final of the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-yl.html Young Lions Cup]] Tournament on August 29th, this was a sign that the BDK were not invincible.
580* FinishingMove: A combination Face-first powerbomb[=/=][[Wrestling/ChrisJericho Codebreaker]] called The Sweet Taste of Professionalism.
581* IncomingHam: Their entrance theme starts with the words, "Feel the flow of 3.0".
582* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: For a long time Scott Parker was only known as Jagged. When 3.0 first went face, Jagged acknowledge and started using his real name. Shane Matthews was astonished, having not realized Jagged ''actually had a name''.
583* RedBaron: Shane's is "Big Magic." As a team: "The Most Professional Tag Team In Wrestling," "The Sultans of Smirk"
584* ShoutOut: In the ''Ashes'' video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftt9_eVz7Y8 "Thwarted"]], Jagged wore a [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man]] T-shirt that featured the words "Who You Gonna Call?"

596* GameBreakingInjury: Blinded (his remaining antenna was ripped off his head) by Frightmare.
597* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Silver Ant, Worker Ant, and Fire Ant all attempted this on him. None of their attempts stuck.
598* TheJuggernaut: His return to a CHIKARA ring in the 2014 Cibernetico saw him eliminate ''five'' members of the opposing team, NoSell almost everything that hit him and win it for The Flood.
599* TheLancer: To Fire Ant.
600* NoSell: During the 2014 Cibernetico, he ignored kicks and got right back up from suplexes. The only thing that even made him flinch was Obariyon's feared Flying DDT, and he kicked out of that in 2 (not even 2 and a half).
601* PutOnABus: As a result of his GameBreakingInjury.
602** The non-kayfabe reason being that he's [[spoiler:Drew Gulak, who got signed by WWE]].
603* RedBaron: "The Militant Mat Mite"
604* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Got sick of Wink Vavasseur and resigned from Chikara. The Colony trying to find him again was one of the main storylines of the Ashes series of videos.
605* TokenGoodTeammate: After being reassigned to The Swarm.
606* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Ashes video series started with Fire Ant and Green Ant looking for Soldier - but between the reveal of The Flood and [=assailANT's=] face turn, it seemed Soldier had been forgotten about...
607** ...until he returned as a {{Brainwashed}} member of the Flood in the aftermath of ''You Only Live Twice''.
608
609!!!Worker Ant I
610* TheHeart: Of the Colony.
611* LegacyCharacter: His successor was originally thought to be Green Ant, but it turned out to be [=assailANT=].
612* PassingTheTorch: Gave Green Ant his mask and name in the second Ashes video, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnDgW4lxFTw Man Down]]", though Green Ant did not take it, instead passing it on to [=assailANT=] in the last Ashes video, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-_R7udfIgQ Workin']]".

620* Myth/EgyptianMythology: Always present, but low-key. Until his return in 2013, when it played in a lot more.
621* GameBreakingInjury: Was seemingly forced to retire in 2011 due to a serious spinal injury suffered in a car crash. He returned a year and a half later, though.
622* PutOnABus: After Amasis announced his retirement, Ophidian turned on him and stripped him of his mask. Ophidian would claim he "killed" Amasis and took his soul.
623** TheBusCameBack: Returned at the 2012 season finale to give Ophidian quite a scare. In the early months of 2013, he taunted Ophidian from the sidelines, before returning to the roster to seek revenge.
624* RedBaron: "The Funky Pharaoh". Later "The Madjai of the Deities".
625* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He's a pharaoh. But he wrestles. And dances.
626
627!!!Tim Donst
628* AllAmericanFace: Until he joined the BDK.
629* AppealToPopularity: From his "Who is The Man" song:
630-->"I am the greatest Young Lions Cup Champion of all time\
631 I know this because fans come up to me and they say\
632 'You're the greatest Young Lions Cup Champion of all time'"
633* TheAtoner: After CHIKARA's closure, he has since tried to atone for what he did to Jakob and Turtle in his appearances for the Wrestling Is promotions. In the Ashes video "Fickle", he asked Icarus to apologize to Jakob for him and give him his Young Lions Cup. [[AbortedArc This was never followed up on]], as Donst and CHIKARA parted ways not long after.
634* FriendOrIdolDecision: Bailed on Ares at ''High Noon'' since he valued his hair and his Young Lions Cup than he did Ares, leading to [=UltraMantis=] Black pinning Ares to regain the Eye of Tyr.
635* [[HeavyMetalUmlaut Heävy Mëtal Ümlaut]]: As Vökoder.
636%%* HollywoodToneDeaf
637* [[IKnowKarate I Know Collegiate Wrestling]]: His original moniker was "The Mat Wrestling Machine" and he wrestled in a singlet and earguards.
638* {{Jerkass}}: It all started when he freaked out and attacked Hydra, breaking up the Sea Donsters.
639* PunnyName: His {{Finishing Move}}s have such names as the "[=Donstitution=]" and "From Dusk Till Donst."
640* PutOnABus: Announced that he would not be returning to CHIKARA in 2014. During the Chikara hiatus, he ended up making Absolute Intense Wrestling his home promotion.
641* SanitySlippage: When Hallowicked stole his YLC trophy, Donst went slowly more and more insane, to the point where Donst [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glF-HpJKfAw tried to]] MURDER Hallowicked by hitting him with a forklift, throwing him off a balcony, and threatening him with a power drill. He would later would claim that Hallowicked was a god.
642* TheStarscream: Towards the end of the BDK, to Ares. In the final Cibernetico, he ended up pulling a VillainExitStageLeft and abandoning Ares to take the fall.
643* WouldHitAGirl: Managed to evoke this in spirit in a promotion where intergender wrestling is permitted. He broke Saturyne's CHIKARA special by ''grabbing her by the throat with his free hand and slamming her head/neck into the mat until she let go, then trying to break her arm with an armbar''.
644
645!!!Lince Dorado
646* {{Animal Motif|s}}: The lynx. One of his {{Finishing Move}}s is called the "[=Lynxsault=]". His masks have cat (well, lynx) ears.
647* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After no-showing two cards and/or appearing unmasked in a video.

649* FragileSpeedster: A high-flyer who is also injury prone.
650* PowerStable: The Future Is Now, later the BDK.
651* TakeThatAudience: Explained that he joined the BDK in part because of how the fans hadn't cared about him while he was injured.

658* AbusiveParents: To Boomer Hatfield, post-FaceHeelTurn.
659* ActionDad: To Boomer Hatfield.
660* AlterEgoActing: At the 2010 Season Premiere ''A Touch Of Class'', January 31, 2010, as C-A-W, he teamed with Sugar Dunkerton and [[Wrestling/TheSuperSmashBrothers Player Uno]] against The [=UnStable=] (Vin Gerard, STIGMA, and Colin Delaney). The match started with everyone brawling around, with Gerard dragging C-A-W to the back. Ultimo Breakfast came out to take his place. He was sent to the back and Dasher came back to finish the match, pinning Colin with the Grand Slam.
661* AnimalGenderBender: [=MosCow=] The Communist Bovine was male.
662* AntiquatedLinguistics: Speaks in turn-of-the-century dialect.
663* TheAtoner: In late 2016, after he realized that Mark Angelosetti wasn't willingly a part of Nazmaldun's cadre.
664* TheChosenOne: To lead the fight against Nazmaldun, as seen in a vision by Ophidian. Although Dasher pinned Hallowicked to win the Cibernetico, it was Ophidian who used the Eye of Tyr to exorcise Nazmaldun from [=UltraMantis=] Black, and then enlisted the [=Thunderfrog=] to destroy it.
665* EdibleThemeNaming: As Ultimo Breakfast.
666* FaceHeelTurn: At the end of season 19, shockingly, turning him into a FallenHero.
667* FinishingMove:
668** (as Ultimo Breakfast): Sunny Side Up, He's Toast (Crucifix powerbomb).
669** (as Dasher Hatfield): Suicide Squeeze (Death Valley Driver), Grand Slam (second-rope powerslam.) When teaming with Sugar Dunkerton as the Throwbacks, Dunkerton would follow the latter move with a top rope elbow drop, and the two moves combined would be called a "Grand Slam Dunk," thus combining Dasher's baseball gimmick with Sugar's basketball one.
670* HeManWomanHater: "Hater" is a strong word, but after his rudo turn he's started making some repugnant comments about the idea of getting beaten by a girl.
671* HumiliatingWager: Lost a Mask vs. Mask match to Boomer Hatfield.
672** After Chikara closed, this was then inverted when Boomer wagered (and lost) his mask in a match where Dasher (now under the name Avery Good, Professional Wrestler) would be forced to go back under the Dasher mask and name if he lost. The "Humiliating" part being Avery's both real life and kayfabe animosity to his previous gimmick.
673* ImprobableWeaponUser: As Create-A-Wrestler in his match with Grizzly Redwood at ''If The Airplane Is Snowed In, Put Your Bloody Skis On And Get Going!'', February 20, 2009. During the match, [=CAW=] rolled out of the ring and came back with a plate of flapjacks (pancakes.) He gave Grizzly a flapjack (Head Spike) into the flapjacks!
674* ItWillNeverCatchOn: C-A-W faced Crossbones at ''Time Will Prove Everything'', March 24, 2007. Crossbones [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wknkxux43dk questioned the logic]] of such a gimmick.
675* ItsAllAboutMe: In spite of what he may claim about his motives for not giving Mr. Touchdown the Grand Championship back, it all boiled down to this. Dasher had finally gotten a taste of the gold and didn't want to give it up.
676* JerkJock: After he turns rudo he gradually becomes one. Dialed up to another level once he loses his mask.
677* {{Joisey}}: Billed from Hoboken as Dasher.
678* LegacyCharacter: Create-A-Wrestler was made one with the introduction of Create-A-Wrestler II. Subverted when Deucalion destroyed C-A-W II before he got the chance to do anything.
679* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When he realized that he was in part to blame for Mr. Touchdown being brainwashed by the heXed Men due to his inability to forgive him.
680* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He's been a video game option, a cow, an AnthropomorphicPersonification of a daily meal and is now a turn-of-The20thCentury baseball player.
681* OnlySaneMan: For The Throwbacks, trying to keep Sugar Dunkerton and Mr. Touchdown on the straight and narrow.
682* {{Parody}}: At ''Aniversario: A Horse of Another Color'', May 19, 2012, he cut a promo holding his Ultimo Breakfast and Create-A-Wrestler masks to mock Ophidian for carrying around Amasis and Hieracon's masks after "assimilating" their personalities.
683* PartsUnknown: (as Create-A-Wrestler): "Wherever You Want"
684* PowerStable: Dasher's Dugout, with Mr. Touchdown, Icarus and Heidi Lovelace
685* RedBaron: (as Hatfield) "The Old-Timey King of Swing"
686* SeriousBusiness: During the Challenge of the Immortals tournament in 2015, Dasher's Dugout had been winning thanks to Mr. Touchdown's elbow pad. At ''Babylon Springs'' on November 8th, Dasher and Touchdown were in a four-way elimination tag match against The Nightmare Warriors (Hallowicked and Frightmare), The Osirian Portal (Amasis and Ophidian), and Hermit Crab and Cajun Crawdad. It came down to The Throwbacks vs. The Nightmare Warriors. A piece of metal fell out of the elbow pad, revealing that Touchdown had been cheating all this time, leading to Hallowicked pinning Touchdown for the win. Dasher was so angry about this that he surrendered all the points Dasher's Dugout had accumulated in the tournament.[[note]]This opened the door for Crown and Court ([[Wrestling/KimberLee Princess Kimberlee]], Jervis Cottonbelly and Los Ice Creams [Ice Cream Jr. and El Hijo del Ice Cream]) to get into the finals against The Wrecking Crew (Max Smashmaster, Blaster [=McMassive=], Flex Rumblecrunch and Jaka) instead, leading to Kim defeating Hallowicked for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-g.html CHIKARA Grand Championship]].[[/note]]
687* WhatCouldHaveBeen: An actual InUniverse example. As part of the buildup for ''Young Lions Cup V'', where Create-A-Wrestler's new gimmick would be revealed, CHIKARA posted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6yv5mgecHA this video]] with different wrestlers offering their opinions. (It ended up being [=MosCow=].) Among the suggestions were "El Supermercado," "Buddhist Beefcake", "Olympia," "Million Dollar Clam," and [[Series/SavedByTheBell "A.C. Slaughter"]].
688* WrestlingDoesntPay: A wrestling Baseball player as Dasher Hatfield.
689
690!!!Buck Hawke (formerly Shayne Hawke)
691* CommutingOnABus: In recent years, he shows up at least once or twice a year.
692* DudeNotFunny: Got a nice in-universe reaction when he took a shoulderblock from Lince Dorado and pretended to have a seizure. Lince had suffered a legitimate seizure several months prior.
693* EvilRedhead: Evil might be putting it a little bit strongly, but Buck was an obnoxious jerk for his entire Chikara stint.
694* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He had to wrestle Mike Quackenbush, and decided to stall by constantly accusing Quack of cheating. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-j76XSqczE Quack decided to go ahead and cheat]].
695* PowerStable: Wrestling/TheKingsOfWrestling
696* SycophanticServant: To Mitch Ryder.
697* TagTeam: The Fabulous Three/The Fabulous Two, which were different combinations of Larry Sweeney, Mitch Ryder, himself and/or Robbie Ellis.
698* TearsOfJoy: At ''Tragedy and Triumph'', July 13, 2008, Mitch Ryder told Hawke that he considered Hawke a worthy partner and decided to give Hawke a Memphis-style name and renamed him Buck. Hawke welled up with tears as if this was the greatest thing that had ever happened to him.

702!!!Colin Olsen/Colin Delaney
703* HarmlessVillain: As Colin Olsen.
704*** The Olsen Twins used Music/BritneySpears' "Toxic" and Music/{{Kesha}}'s "Tik Tok"
705* SmallNameBigEgo: Briefly had a job working for WWE's version of ECW and it went to his head. When he returned to Chikara he no longer wanted to team with Jimmy Olsen, kept using the name he'd been given in WWE, and adopted the moniker [[FunWithAcronyms Extremely Cute Wrestler]] so that nobody forgot he was in ECW.
706* TookALevelInBadass: When he joined the [=UnStable=], he became a much more serious opponent.
707* UnrelatedBrothers: With Jimmy.
708
709!!!Jimmy Olsen (formerly Equinox II)
710* HarmlessVillain: At first, although he was always the more serious and more likely to kick ass of the Olsens.
711* MegatonPunch: One of his finishers was a haymaker punch.
712* TookALevelInBadass: When Colin joined the [=UnStable=] and turned on Jimmy, he became much more serious to deal with the threat.
713
714!!!Ophidian
715* TheAssimilator: As of ''Chikarasaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur'', he had absorbed the souls of both Amasis and Hieracon and claimed to be all of them in one body. Dropped after his "purification".
716* DivineIntervention: It's heavily implied that his godly patrons had a huge hand in protecting him from being hexed by Nazmaldun at the end of Like Phantoms, Forever.
717* EvilCostumeSwitch: In Season 11.
718** GoodCostumeSwitch: After his "purification".
719* HearingVoices: After stealing the "souls" (masks) of Amasis & Hieracon.
720* OldShame:
721** In-universe, his stint undercover as the impostor 17 in The Flood, which resulted in him being blamed for the near-complete destruction of the Colony and nearly drove Fire Ant off the deep end.
722** In-universe, the Furies, which he has since outright acknowledged as a complete and utter failure.
723* PutOnABus: Following losing a sarcophagus match in 2017, with The Whisper promptly stealing the Ophidian identity.
724** TheBusCameBack: In the guise of 17, to successfully reclaim his identity from Whisper.
725* RedBaron: "The Venomous Vile Serpent from the Nile", later "The Madjai Warrior"
726* [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Rudo Tecnico Revolving Door]]: The Osirian Portal started as rudos, turned tecnico in late 2009, Ophidian turned rudo as part of Amasis' retirement and then reunited with him after his "purification" in late 2013. After Amasis departed for good in 2016, Ophidian stayed a tecnico until 2019 when he was revealed to be in charge of The Crucible.
727* SanitySlippage: In Season 11, after turning on Amasis and stealing his mask, Ophidian underwent a major EvilCostumeSwitch. He claimed to [[HearingVoices hear the voices]] of Amasis and Hieracon, and would argue with them as well.
728* SssssnakeTalk: He talksssss like thisssss at all timesssss, oh yessss.
729* WeaksauceWeakness: His signature hypnosis is easily blocked by wearing sunglasses, which Sidney Bakabella utilized very well during the 2014 Tag World Grand Prix. It also does not work against those under the effect of the Eye of Tyr, as shown during Like Phantoms, Forever in November 2016 when his attempt to hypnotize Hallowicked failed, and those who have specifically been taught to overcome it via post-hypnotic suggestion, as shown by Jeremy Leary (after tutelage by The Whisper) in 2017.
730* WellIntentionedExtremist: Went through with building [[FightClubbing The Crucible]] under Quack's nose as a means of protecting CHIKARA from outside threats. If he can be believed, it was actually Quack's "contingency plan" from Season 17, something which Quack himself first denied then later confirmed before claiming that Ophidian took it too far.

736
737!!!Da Soul Touchaz (Acid Jazz, Marshe Rocket, Willie Richardson w/C-Red and Dymond)
738* {{Acrofatic}}: Willie can come off the top rope pretty well.
739* ArchEnemy: They were the rare team in Chikara that had Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes' number more times than anyone else.
740* [[CoolTeacher Cool Coach]]: C-Red, who gives the boys advice in the ring and teaches them awesome dance moves for their entrance.
741* {{Expy}}: Willie Richardson calls himself "The Urban-American Dream" after Wrestling/DustyRhodes and has been known to use the bionic elbow.
742* LeanAndMean: Marshe's mean streak was pretty muted in Chikara, but he did have a couple incidents where he lost his temper. Post-Chikara, he turned heel on Acid Jazz, although they eventually reconciled. As for the lean part, he's both the tallest ''and'' the lightest of da Soul Touchaz.
743* PartsUnknown: "The Soul of America"
744* PowerTrio: Acid, Marshe and Willy when C-Red and Dymond aren't with them.
745* PunnyName: "C-Red"
746* PutOnABus: Their relationship with Chikara went sharply downhill after an incident where the boys brought Dymond to an event that was supposed to be for the actual wrestlers only and Mike Quackenbush (and possibly others) took offense.
747* RunningGag: Their promos in Chikara would often end with them unsure which way to go to get to the ring.
748* SassyBlackWoman: Dymond
749* SixthRanger: Years after they were done in Chikara, they gained a second powerhouse wrestler named Trauma.
750* SoulBrotha: Three of them. Four brothas and a sista if you count C-Red and Dymond.
751* TheUnintelligible: Yeah, just ''try'' making sense of the chant they do at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be81d6PH7Cc the end of their promos]].
752
753!!!Madison Eagles
754* CommutingOnABus: Went some 2 years between her CHIKARA debut, at ''The Global Gauntlet'' Night 1 on October 18, 2008, and her return at ''Chaos in the Sea of Lost Souls'' on January 23, 2011. The announcers joked about it being because of the distance from UsefulNotes/{{Australia}}.
755** Almost appeared again in 2016 as she was set to participate in King of Trios, but had to withdraw after being injured.
756* CardiovascularLove: For her match with Daizee Haze at ''Chaos in the Sea of Lost Souls'', she wore a belt that on the back read "I ♥ Me."
757* MiniDressOfPower and ModestyShorts.
758
759!!!Escorpion Egipcio
760* AlliterativeName: '''E'''scorpion '''E'''gipcio
761* TheBrute: Of the Osirian Portal.
762* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: During Ophidian's 2012 heel turn when he brought Hieracon back long enough to steal his mask. Escorpion had already left Chikara long ago, but for a wrestling promotion with so much emphasis on continuity it seemed conspicuous that his name was never even dropped during the angle.
763
764!!!Grizzly Redwood
765* MightyLumberjack: His gimmick
766* TheNapoleon: Before becoming Grizzly Redwood, his gimmick was of being a small guy who was into bodybuilding and using power moves. As Grizzly, he liked to chop people on the legs to "cut them down to size." Also, being shorter than everyone gave him a pretty bad temper.
767* PutOnABus: Retired from wrestling in 2013.
768* WrestlingDoesntPay: A wrestling lumberjack.
769
770!!!Marc Roudin
771* TheBusCameBack: When looking at his career as a whole, not just specifically Chikara. He'd been retired when someone on the roster was unable to make a show in Germany; Roudin offered to come out of retirement for a one-shot.
772
773!!!Pinkie Sanchez (formerly Carpenter Ant)
774* AssKicksYou: One of his big moves is the Shiny Hiney.
775* AxCrazy: To be expected when a Cloudcuckoolander turns Heel.
776* CassandraTruth: He really did see Vökoder at ''Chikarasaurus Rex: King of Show''.
777* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: In 2010-11 he gradually appeared less and less often until he stopped appearing at all.
778* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: During his match with Frightmare at ''Through Savage Progress Cuts the Jungle Line,'' Leonard F. Chikarason and Bryce Remsburg both said that they had tried to have conversations with him and both had given up on it.
779* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Spent part of 2010 trying to convince the rest of the BDK that he'd seen Vökoder around. None of them believed him. Of course that year Vökoder showed up at the Cibernetico and then unmasked as Wrestling/LarrySweeney.
780* DemotedToExtra: After starting out as a high ranking member of the BDK, Pinkie's appearances started becoming less frequent and his losses when he did appear more frequent. [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Eventually he simply quit appearing at all]]. His second run became this once he departed from the BDK, with less frequent appearances culminating in being attacked by Frightmare and vanishing entirely.
781** TheBusCameBack: At ''For Your Eyes Only'' it was revealed that he had been using the identity of one of Dr. Cube's EliteMooks.
782* DroppedABridgeOnHim: His 2016 return ended abruptly in May, when he was attacked by Frightmare for teaming with The Colony. In actuality, Pinkie left Chikara for good due to a pay dispute.
783* FinishingMove: Burning Snicklefritz, Shiny Hiney, Moonsault Double Stomp
784* TheMole: As Carpenter Ant, infiltrated the Chikara tecnicos on the BDK's orders.
785* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Back when he wore pink and blue and danced and wrestled a match with the Neo-Solar Temple, there was no indication he was the kind of guy who could hide under the Carpenter Ant mask, win a Torneo Cibernetico, and help the BDK take over CHIKARA.
786* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: One of his {{Red Baron}}s is "El Presidente."
787* PartsUnknown: "The Projects of [[Music/MichaelJackson Neverland Ranch]]"
788* RealMenWearPink: Lots of it. And they name themselves Pinkie. And sometimes they even dye their hair pink.
789* RedBaron: "Pink Ant" while he was in the BDK.
790* TakeThat: After the BDK formed, he posted a blog on chikarapro.com where he explained that he disguised himself as Carpenter Ant out of frustration with not being able to get a roster spot as himself, as Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}} had rejected him for membership in The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple.
791* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He and Nøkken amassed 3 consecutive wins for the right to challenge for the Campeonatas de Parejas. That was Nøkken's final show - he left CHIKARA immediately after that night. Similar to his first run Pinkie simply slowly stopped appearing and finally quit entirely.
792* WhatTheHellHero: During the BDK riot, Carpenter Ant ran out with the rest of The Colony and immediately attacked them. Someone in the crowd yelled, "Carpenter Ant, what are you doing?" The Colony had always been ''[[{{Face}} tecnicos]]'', so it didn't make sense to see a member of the group acting this way. It made sense once he unmasked.
793
794!!! Steve "The Turtle" Weiner
795* CommutingOnABus: Appears every so often.
796* FinishingMove: Shell Shock
797* TagTeam: Animal House, with Beef Wellington

799
800[[folder:People Who First Wrestled in 2009]]
801
802!!! Sugar Dunkerton
803* AbhorrentAdmirer: At ''Aniversario Zehn,'' the Throwbacks (himself and Dasher Hatfield) faced Daizee Haze and Tursas of the BDK. In the prematch promo, Sugar talked about melting Daizee's [[WhereDaWhiteWomenAt icy heart with some hot chocolate]]. The BDK won when Tursas pinned Hatfield. Tursas splashed Sugar after the match, to Daizee's apparent delight.
804* AfroAsskicker: One of his {{Red Baron}}s is "Monster Afro."
805* BlackIsBiggerInBed: One of his many many nicknames is "Master of the Sizeable Package", though he didn't use that one in CHIKARA.
806* TheCameo: Made several appearances in AEW during the Coronavirus pandemic; a couple as Suge D and several as Pineapple Pete.
807* ComicallyMissingThePoint: During The Throwbacks' (Dasher/Sugar/Matt Classic)'s promo at ''King of Trios 2010 Night I'', Matt Classic questioned why a [[YiddishAsASecondLanguage "schvartze"]] was teaming with them. Dasher objected, but Sugar mistook it for a reference to ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', saying, "May the Schwartz be with you, too."
808* FinishingMove: Air Dunkerton, The {{Crunk}} Capture
809* PartsUnknown: "Dunktown, USA"
810* PowerStable: The Throwbacks, although when he was part of them they were a simple tag team who occasionally trios'd with Matt Classic. Mr. Touchdown was brought in to replace him when he left, and Boomer Hatfield and Molly [=McCoy=] joined years later.
811* RedBaron: "The Sultan of the Slam Dunk," "Slam [=McNasty=]", "The Soul Of Strong Style", "The Backcourt Bandit", "Black Mamba", "[[PunnyName Barack O'Jamma"]], "Black Swagger", "Hot Chocolate", "Master Of The Sizable Package", "Converse's Favorite Customer", "Clothesline Jenkins", [[LampshadeHanging "Mr. Too Many Nicknames"]], "Captain Crunk"
812* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Left CHIKARA due to ongoing problems with F.I.S.T and Wink Vavasseur. He didn't like teaming with heels, didn't like the fact that F.I.S.T wouldn't work with him and kept trying to turn him heel, and didn't like Wink screwing around with the tag team division in the first place. He tried to make it work, but he was the only one trying, and he got fed up and left.
813** Subsequently announced that he would not be returning to CHIKARA in 2014, as he had made Beyond Wrestling his home promotion during the hiatus.
814* ShoutOut: His name is taken from the UsefulNotes/{{Basketball}} comedy film ''[[Film/SemiPro Semi-Pro]]'', and his earlier career name Kareem Abdul Jamar is one to Basketball legend Creator/KareemAbdulJabbar.
815* TokenGoodTeammate: During his alliance with Team [=F.I.S.T=].
816
817!!!Frightmare
818* [[AllThereInTheManual All There In The Comicbooks]]: Frightmare's backstory (read below) was written in the comics, it never played out in the ring. Fans who didn't know the backstory were confused by the events of ''Tomorrow Never Dies'' (CHIKARA's December 2014 [=iPPV=]).
819* {{Backstory}}: Delirious was suffering from catastrophic nightmares, and Wrestling/UltramantisBlack sent Hallowicked inside Delirious' mind to try and save him. Hallowicked found a... thing... that he felt a kinship with. It took a form similar to Hallowicked's and manifested in the real world as Frightmare. This link to Hallowicked is the reason that when [[spoiler:Delirious used the Eye of Tyr to brainwash Hallowicked and turn him against UMB, Frightmare was forced to turn as well.]]
820* ChainedByFashion: When Hallowicked and Delirious first brought him out, they were leading him around by a chain around his neck.
821* EyeScream: Technically antennae scream, but during his feud with The Colony, he took to blinding its individual members by ripping their antennae off, doing in Soldier Ant and Green Ant I that way.
822* FinishingMove: Crucifix bomb, [=Frightcrusher=], [=Kneecolepsy=], Instant Death
823* {{Keet}}: Almost never runs out of energy. There's a reason he was sometimes (pre-heel turn, that is) called "Luchadorable."
824* PowerStable:
825** Incoherence
826** The Spectral Envoy, led by Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}}
827** (in Dragon Gate USA): CHIKARA Sekigun
828* RedBaron: "A Frenetic Ball of Kinetic Energy"
829* {{Sidekick}}: To Hallowicked
830* TheUnintelligible: He ''was'' on a team called "Incoherence," after all.
831
832!!!Silver Ant (formerly Green Ant I)
833* BookEnds: The Ashes series began with him being told "You're a Worker now" as he was given Worker Ant's gear, and ended with him telling assailANT the exact same thing as he gave him Worker Ant's gear.
834* {{Determinator}}: Suffered a broken arm in a match against Keita Yano in 2010, and ''refused to quit'' to the point where the referee had to stop the match.
835* EvilCostumeSwitch: Debuted a new mask at King of Trios 2015: half Silver Ant, half Nightmare Warrior, signifying the beginning of his conversion to the cause of Nazmaldun. Unfortunately for Naz, the conversion was not completed, thanks to Frightmare pushing Silver a little too far, and he has since reverted.
836* {{Jerkass}}: Became this towards Worker Ant in 2016.
837* PutOnABus: After being defeated by Frightmare during Hide.
838* RedBaron: "The Dagger", according to Hallowicked. Never used this himself.
839* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Worker Ant.
840** Originally thought to be justified, but eventually subverted. In the second Ashes video, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnDgW4lxFTw Man Down]]", Worker Ant [[PassingTheTorch gave Green Ant his mask and gear]] and told him "You're a Worker now." However, he did not take the name, instead passing Worker Ant's mask and gear to [=assailANT=] and taking the name Silver Ant after ''You Only Live Twice''.
841* UnrelatedBrothers: When he was carried out after Frightmare defeated him during Hide, Mike Quackenbush on commentary heavily implied that he was Dieter Von Steigerwalt's brother who he'd promised to protect. [[spoiler: In reality, the two are one and the same.]]
842
843!!!Tursas
844* ArchEnemy: Green Ant I.
845* {{Backstory}}: Revealed in bits and pieces on Twitter during the Titor Conglomerate angle. Tursas is a supernatural Viking guardian spirit of some sort. He worked with the BDK because he owed Ares an unspecified favor, and left when the BDK ended because the favor was paid and he hates America.
846* BackFromTheDead: According to his and Nøkken's Twitter accounts, Tursas followed the reincarnated Estonian Thunderfrog out of Valhalla. Unfortunately, though he promised revenge against the reincarnated Thunderfrog, he did not set foot back in CHIKARA.
847* TheBrute: For the BDK, big time.
848* DeathFromAbove: He actually did a ''moonsault'', although it missed.
849* [[FanNickname DetractorNickname]]: "Turdsauce." Became in-universe when Wrestling/EddieKingston used it.
850* EarlyBirdCameo: As Klondike Kremlin, he had teamed with STIGMA to defeat Frightmare and Cometa de Oro at the non-canonical ''CHIKARA[=/=]Lucha Libre Mexicana'' on March 9, 2009.
851* TheDragon: Outside the Five Bad Band configuration, he was this to Ares.
852* FinishingMove: Kreuz Bomb (throwing crucifix powerbomb), Big Splash
853* ForeignWrestlingHeel: Plays up the "America sucks~!" heel rhetoric on Twitter.
854* TheGiant: 6'8, 376 lbs.
855* HornyVikings: His mask even has horns on it. He, Ares and Claudio (with Nøkken replacing Claudio in the new BDK) had a tag team finisher called Ragnarok.
856* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Teamed with the 5'4, 110 lbs. Wrestling/DaizeeHaze to defeat The Throwbacks at ''CHIKARA Aniversario Zehn'', May 22, 2010.
857* KilledOffForReal: By the Estonian Thunderfrog at ''The Living Daylights'', via getting hit with the Hammer. It didn't stick.
858* MightyGlacier: Attempted moonsault notwithstanding, Tursas was not quick on his feet, but could hit harder than anyone else through sheer weight and inertia.
859* NoSell: In Kingston's promo at ''The Mint Condition,'' he talked about how when anyone else had hit Tursas, Tursas didn't move, saying how he was going to make Tursas move.
860* PowerStable: As part of Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes, which in turn later became part of The Flood.
861* PutOnABus: After Green Ant defeated him at ''High Noon.'' Returned over two years later as part of the new BDK, although he didn't end up sticking around very long.
862* SelfServingMemory: In response to someone posting on Website/{{Twitter}} a gif of him hitting the Kreuz Bomb on Green Ant at ''High Noon'', November 13, 2011, he [[https://twitter.com/WarTursas/status/990394966978555904 said]] that it was "the last move of the match which I won cleanly and without expending much effort." The actual truth is that Green Ant won by making him tap out to the CHIKARA Special: Green. It was his last appearance for CHIKARA until the return show ''You Only Live Twice'' on May 25, 2014.
863[[/folder]]
864
865[[folder:People Who First Wrestled in 2010]]
866
867!!!Hieracon (formerly Jonathan Gresham)
868* BackForTheDead: Sort of. Hieracon came back for one match with Ophidian, which resulted in Ophidian stealing his mask and "killing" Hieracon.
869* TheGenericGuy: Most obviously during the Portal's ring entrances. As the Portal were faces at the time, Amasis and Ophidian would play to the fans all the way to the ring and make a rather long and leisurely entrance. Hieracon would slap hands, but he never really gelled with the long entrance and always looked bored and out of place by the time it was over.
870* PutOnABus: Completely failed to get over and after a while he just disappeared from the cards. Repeated requests for CHIKARA fans not to tag him in posted pictures and some rather harsh words regarding wearing a mask suggest there was more to his departure.
871* TheSixthRanger: To the Osirian Portal.
872
873!!!Obariyon & Kodama
874* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: They're actually not related, but they look so much alike especially with the facepaint that the commentators often get confused as to which one's wrestling.
875** Although they've left CHIKARA, they've continued to get less and less identical in appearance. Obariyon has cut his hair short and slimmed down, while Kodama has begun tanning darkly, grown a heavy beard and bulked up. They also use different color schemes.
876* BarbarianLonghair: Both of them, until Obariyon switched to a buzzcut sometime in late 2016.
877* BlueOniRedOni: Obariyon is Red, Kodama is Blue. They both work violent wrestling styles, but Obariyon seems on the edge of flipping out most of the time, and Kodama tends to switch between being eerily calm and exploding.
878* {{Brainwashed}}: Hypnotized by Nazmaldun. Snapped out of it after Nazmaldun's banishment.
879* BroughtDownToNormal: In Obariyon's match against Merlok in November 2017, he came out without his facepaint and wasn't just beaten but apparently injured or killed with a single Emerald Fusion. Apparently the Batiri had some sort of demonic power fueling them and it abandoned Obariyon or something.
880* TheCorrupter: Mid 2017, Obariyon was working on getting Ashley Vox to embrace her inner darkness, and [[GoneHorriblyRight it worked way too well]], turning her into Oceanea.
881* DeathWail: Obariyon did one after Kobald was injured by Deucalion. In November 2017, Ashley Vox did one over ''him'' after Merlok hit him with an Emerald Fusion.
882* TheDragon: Obariyon to Sinn Bodhi in 2011.
883* EarlyBirdCameo: They were the druids who accompanied [=UltraMantis=] Black for his match against [=Hallowicked=] at ''Through Savage Progress Cuts the Jungle Line.''
884* EvilCostumeSwitch: Switched from green to red after their brainwashing. Switched back post-brainwashing. After Kodama's departure Obariyon switched over to purple with gold markings.
885* FacialMarkings: They both wore green facepaint with black lines (with a switch to red with black lines once Nazmaldun got hold of them, and a switch to purple with gold lines for Obariyon in 2017). Obariyon's markings are slightly straighter than Kodama's.
886** The easiest way to tell them apart is to look at the forehead and mouth. Obariyon's facepaint is more elaborate around his mouth, and Kodama's is more elaborate on his forehead.
887* ForeignWrestlingHeel: The Batiri are billed from Bled Island, which is the only natural island in UsefulNotes/{{Slovenia}}.
888* HeelFaceTurn: Initially they were neutral in the Flood vs Chikara feud, but Kobald convinced them to stand up for Chikara. Then Deucalion injured Kobald, and the Batiri decided to take the feud ''very'' personally and switched to Chikara's side.
889* IdenticalTwinIDTag: They aren't related, but look very much alike with facepaint. However, their paint designs are visibly different, Kodama has an extra tattoo across his collarbone, and in late 2015 Obariyon got a shorter haircut.
890* OddFriendship: After Kodama's departure Obariyon began hanging out with Team Sea Stars of all people.
891* OneHitKill: Obariyon's Flying DDT is one of the most feared finishers in Chikara. It's so feared it doesn't even need a gimmick name.
892* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After Deucalion injured Kobald, Obariyon and Kodama [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM9xN4_X2nI both spoke in English]] to threaten The Flood.
893* PutOnABus:
894** Kodama, after being attacked by Hallowicked and Frightmare. The real reason is because he was fired after cursing in the ring after getting stiffed.
895** Obariyon followed in 2017 after being brutalized by Merlok.
896* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The reason for The Batiri ending their association with Kobald and getting depushed in CHIKARA. Kobald, real name Anthony Wilson, was accused by a woman of physically abusing her. The Batiri stood up for her, and Mike Quackenbush apparently thought they should have had 'the boys' backs or at least minded their own business. Quackenbush really fired Kodama because he'd been looking for an excuse to do so, and Obariyon finished up his contract and left.
897* RedBaron: Kodama is "The Bled Island Butcher", Obariyon is "The Deadly Demonic Warmonger." Hallowicked collectively dubbed them "the Twin Scythes".
898* ShoutOut: Kodama's mannerisms and his calm-to-explosive-back-to-calm wrestling style are obviously inspired by Wrestling/TheGreatMuta, although his use of them falls short of being an expy.

901[[folder:People Who First Wrestled in 2011]]
902
903!!!Sinn Bodhi
904* AnimalMotifs: He has on occasion worn monstrous deformed animal masks as entrance gear. Most often a pig mask, but he's also used a bulldog.
905* AntiquatedLinguistics: His short-lived WWE persona, Kizarny, spoke carny, the language spoken by carnival workers to disguise what they are saying from the marks, and which is the source of much professional wrestling slang and terminology. Unfortunately, due to the Weird Al Effect, people thought he was copying Music/SnoopDogg. (See Snoop's YMMV page for more.)
906* ArchEnemy: [=UltraMantis Black=] in CHIKARA. As the story goes, UMB had Sinn procure and train The Batiri, and then refused to accept them or pay Sinn. So, Sinn came to CHIKARA for revenge.
907* AssKicksYou: The Funnel Cake, his version of Wrestling/{{Rikishi}}'s Stinkface, though he at least wears pants.
908* BaldOfEvil: Better to show off the most tattooed head in wrestling since Wrestling/BamBamBigelow.
909* BeardOfEvil: As shown above, a big, colorful, unkempt, rather unclean beard.
910* BunnyEarsLawyer: Behind his bizarre appearance and behavior, he is a very good wrestler.
911* {{Calvinball}}: As OVW Anarchy Champion, he gets to set the stipulations for his matches.
912* CheapHeat: A rare case where this ''didn't'' work. He [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHbmwrO9K1Y faced]] Kassius Koonz on the September 17, 2016 episode of ''WCWC on PDX-TV.'' Late in the match, he had Koonz in a fireman's carry and imitated Wrestling/JohnCena's "You Can't See Me" gesture...to utter silence.
913* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: While he was specifically written out after his first run, in 2014 he simply vanished.
914* CircusOfFear: The Odditorium (his sub-stable within The Flood that consisted of himself, Sir Oliver Grimsly and Qefka the Quiet) had this gimmick.
915* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Almost as bad as Delirious. He will inflict incredible pain on his opponent, and has no problem taking it as well. One of his big spots involves him Chokeslamming ''himself'' onto his opponent.
916* CreepyCircusMusic: He often ends his promos by asking, "Do I look like I'm clowning around?," and singing a bit of "Entrance of the Gladiators," which is the StandardSnippet for this trope.
917* FacialMarkings: He comes up with some impressive combinations, as seen above.
918* FinishingMove: Tallulah Belle, a double-arm DDT rolled through into a pin.
919* FreakyIsCool: Well, just ''look'' at him.
920* GroinAttack: A frequent feature of his offense.
921* ImprobableWeaponUser: Makes Wrestling/TommyDreamer or Wrestling/NewJack look like students of Wrestling/LouThesz by comparison. He defended the OVW Anarchy Title [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHwJwt3ZToY against]] Drew Hernandez on the August 3 (taped July 31), 2019 episode of OVW TV in a "Santa's Summer Surprise" match where weapons were hidden in gift boxes in the corners. This included Tabasco Sauce (which Hernandez sprayed in Sinn's eyes), ''lighter fluid'' (though Sinn couldn't get a fire going) and...[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a banana]]. However, one of the commentators offered up a GeekyAnalogy by referencing ''VideoGame/MarioKart''. Oh, and Sinn ''slipped'' on the BananaPeel.
922* LargeAndInCharge: If anything he's a great example of why they call WWE "the land of the giants" - he was just a bit on the small side by WWE standards but he towers over most of the Chikara roster. He's also been the leader of first The Dark Army and then [[PunnyName The Odditorium]].
923* MadEye: His right pupil can look like an X.
924* MassOhCrap: At the Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} 2010 SeasonFinale ''Reality Is Relative'' on December 12,, he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGrlCbbgZOg&t=2s revealed himself]] as the leader behind Obariyon, Kodama and the masked man who would come to be known as Kobald[[note]]Their trio would be named The Batiri[[/note]], and that he had asked Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}} to train them to be his Dark Army. In exchange, Sinn said that he wanted [[ArtifactOfDoom the Eye of Tyr]] as payment.[[note]]Back in 2007, CHIKARA Commissioner Creator/BobSaget (yes, Bob Saget) and [=UltraMantis=] Black had made a deal to send Wrestling/ChrisHero to wrestle for Dr. Cube, the BigBad of Wrestling/KaijuBigBattel, in exchange for Cube giving Mantis the Eye of Tyr, a Myth/{{Norse Mytholog|y}}ical artifact that can be used to control minds. At ''The Bobliographon'' on April 26, 2009, Mantis used the Eye to force [[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]] into The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple, as retaliation against Delirious' Incoherence teammate Wrestling/{{Hallowicked}} leaving The Dark Breed and turning ''[[{{Face}} tecnico]]'' at the start of 2006. At the 2009 SeasonFinale ''Three-Fisted Tales'' on November 22, Mantis gave Vökoder the Eye of Tyr as he, Vökoder and Delirious walked to the ring to confront the two masked "BDK" members who had been threatening Mantis for the previous few months. Vökoder turned on Mantis as part of the riot that marked the formation of Wrestling/DieBruderschaftDesKreuzes, and unmasked as Tim Donst, who had appeared earlier in the event as himself. He gave Ares the Eye of Tyr.[[/note]]This prompted a big "Ooooh" reaction from the crowd.
925* MonsterClown: Not played up as much as his time as Kizarny, however.
926* PowerStable:
927** (in TNA): The New Church, led by Wrestling/JamesMitchell
928** The Flood, led by Deucalion
929** The Dynamite Death Monkies, in American Combat Wrestling in Florida
930** The Carnival of Shadows, in California.
931* PutOnABus: [=UltraMantis=] Black gave him the (fake) Eye of Tyr at the end of season 11 on the condition that he leave CHIKARA.
932** TheBusCameBack: Resurfaced in late 2013 to buy out and shut down Wrestling Is Art, and appeared in 2014 as a member of The Flood until ChuckCunninghamSyndrome kicked in.
933* RedBaron: "The Warlord Of Weird"
934* StartMyOwn: He has his own promotion, Freakshow Wrestling, which is absolutely insane. Given that it's a creation of Sinn Bodhi and has featured characters named [[AdolfHitlarious Gaydolf Hitler]] and [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Tawdry Hepburn]], it basically runs on RefugeInAudacity.
935* TattooedCrook: If he's a heel. He is covered with tattoos.
936* TemptingFate: Made a comment saying "being bi-polar has its benefits" and adjusted his tie during the King of Trios preshow. A couple weeks before King of Trios, Wrestling/LarrySweeney loved member of Chikara, hanged himself. While it was Bodhi playing up his character (he wasn't aware of Sweeney and [[OhCrap apologized profusely afterwards]]), '''no one was amused.'''
937* VitriolicBestBuds: He and Gangrel have alternated between teaming and being opponents.
938* WrestlingFamily: Formerly married to [[Wrestling/StacyCarter Stacy "The Kat" Carter]], and his brother Steve wrestles in Canadian independents as Kobra Kai and was part of Team BSE on Night 1 of King of Trios 2008.
939
940!!!Jakob Hammermeier
941* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: From late September of 2013 (when he chimed in during a CHIKARA Twitter rally) until King of Trios 2014, he hadn't been seen or heard from. There was talk that he had retired, though nothing was ever confirmed.
942** TheBusCameBack: At King of Trios 2014, he revealed that he had been Dr. Cube all along.
943*** Came back again to participate in the 2018 Infinite Gauntlet, and in 2019 with Der Wildebeest in tow.
944* DealWithTheDevil: Invoked this by name in his explanation of how he obtained the Eye of Tyr.
945* DemotedToExtra: In 2016, his role was gradually reduced from a prominent figure to cannon fodder for Eddie Kingston before he eventually [[PutOnABus disappeared entirely]].
946* DirtyCoward: In the original BDK.
947* TheDogBitesBack: After months of emotional and physical abuse at the hands of Tim Donst, Jakob ''finally'' struck back at him, nailing him with a [[OneHitKill knock-out punch]] at ''Aniversario: Never Compromise'', to a huge fan pop.
948* FromNobodyToNightmare: From the BDK's cowardly ring announcer to an inexperienced wrestler who only ever won through other BDK members interfering for him to Tim Donst's sycophantic sidekick to suddenly his own man at the end of season 12, to the new leader of the BDK, with the Eye of Tyr in his possession and Nøkken firmly under his control.
949** Attempted to take another level in nightmare by bringing the Nightmare Warriors under his control via use of the Eye of Tyr, which backfired spectacularly, delivering the Eye into the Warriors' hands and enabling them to physically manifest Nazmaldun in the form of [=UltraMantis=] Black.
950* GratuitousGerman: His original FinishingMove, a hangman's neckbreaker, was called ''Gute Nacht!''
951* HammyHerald: His original role was as the special ring announcer for the BDK. Doubles as IncomingHam for when he would announce himself.
952* IdiotBall: Where in the world did he get the idea that using the Eye of Tyr on Hallowicked (who'd already had it used on him, which led to Nazmaldun's advent) was going to end well?
953* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Broke Soldier Ant's brainwashing with an inadvertent Worldstar Punch.
954* [[OneHitKill One Hit KO]]: His current FinishingMove, the Worldstar punch. It's even strong enough to break brainwashing.
955* PowerStable: The BDK and The Flood.
956* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers a stinging one to Ares, upon taking over the BDK.
957* [[WithFriendsLikeThese With BFFs Like These]]: After losing to Hallowicked at "Chikarasaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur," Tim Donst turned into a rotten partner, treating Jakob increasingly worse (in a way that seriously brings to mind DomesticAbuse), sabotaging his efforts at becoming Young Lions Cup champion, and finally abandoning him to the [[BlatantLies tender mercies]] of Eddie Kingston.
958
959!!!Kobald
960* AssKicksYou: His FinishingMove is a top-rope sitdown splash called the "Demon's Toilet".
961* TheAtoner: Directly invoked in his 12/3/15 [[http://chikaraspecial.tumblr.com/post/134480737136/kobald-blog-1232015 blog]]. Unfortunately, this did not last.
962* {{Brainwashed}}: By Nazmaldun. Was snapped out of it by Nazmaldun's banishment, though combined with him [[CameBackWrong coming back wrong]], it seemed to leave him with a serious case of SanitySlippage until Oleg the Usurper "fixed" him.
963** MoreThanMindControl: Eventually rejected Oleg and started following Hallowicked of his own free will.
964* [[{{Fangirl}} Fanboy]]: For Oleg the Usurper after being "fixed" by him, to Oleg's detriment.
965* TheHeart: Of The Batiri, surprisingly. Kobald was pro-Chikara and he was able to convince Obariyon and Kodama to side with Chikara as well.
966* KilledOffForReal: By Deucalion at You Only Live Twice. Outside kayfabe he's suffering from a hip injury that has a significant chance of permanently ending his career.
967** BackFromTheDead: Resurrected by [=UltraMantis=] Black to replace him as part of the Arcane Horde. However, it was implied that he was [[CameBackWrong craving brains]] as a side effect of the ritual.
968* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: This particular one is a sewer-dwelling growler.
969* RedBaron: "The Prince of All Goblins"
970** Hallowicked dubbed him "the Poison-Tipped Bolt".
971* SplitPersonality: Seemed to have one in some of his promos. He'd say something nice in a high pitched voice, follow it up with something mean in a snarly voice, then switch back to high pitched for nice, snarly for mean... Came to a head in 2017 when he began to refer to himself as "we" while pleading for Oleg the Usurper to "fix" him.
972* TodayXTomorrowTheWorld: At ''Deep Freeze'', October 6, 2012, he cut a promo where he said that he was going to destroy Frightmare, then [=UltraMantis=], then the world.
973
974
975!!![[Archibald Peck[=/=]Mixed Martial Archie[=/=]The Mysterious And Handsome Stranger]]
976* AbortedArc: Seemingly, anything that could have resulted from his 2015 appearance (see StableTimeLoop below), as he was signed by Wrestling/{{WWE}} for a producer position.
977* ArchEnemy: Formerly Mr. Touchdown.
978** [[http://i.imgur.com/CC9hOiJ.jpg Low]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EhmWwX5n0I ceilings]].
979* BigNo: After finding Veronica laid out on the floor and carrying her back to the locker room following his loss to Sara Del Rey at ''A Death Worse Than Fate,'' February 25, 2012.
980* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: Some time after ''[=CHIKARAsaurus=] Rex'', he returned as the Mysterious and Handsome Stranger, a take on Wrestling/DustyRhodes' Midnight Rider, to get his revenge upon Veronica and Angelosetti. At ''Under The Hood'', he voluntarily unmasked, slopping Veronica. Except this was ''not'' the Archibald Peck that walked through North America, but a time displaced version of him. See the Season 11 epilogue below for Barrister R.D. Evans' explanation, and StableTimeLoop below for a quick summary.
981* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: During his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw0KIPgHdC4 match]] with [=UltraMantis=] Black at ''Small But Mighty'', October 7, 2011, Leonard F. [=Chikarason=] said, "I don't want to cover Archibald Peck's psychiatrist bills. There's a lot going on there."
982** DirtyCoward: During the match with [=Mantis=], the action spilled out to the floor. Mantis grabbed a chair, but Peck threw his entourage of Colt [=Cabunny=] and Veronica Ticklefeather in Mantis' path but Mantis [[WouldntHitAGirl did not hit her]].
983* HeroicSacrifice: Put himself between Gavin Loudspeaker and Deucalion during Moonraker, taking the execution in Gavin's stead.
984* KilledOffForReal: Executed by Deucalion during Moonraker.
985* MusicalThemeNaming: His {{Finishing Move}}s as Archibald Peck have such names as "B-Flat," "Cranial Crescendo" and "Unchained Melody."
986* PartsUnknown: Walked all the way there after his Loser Leaves Town match, then resided there, making a few trips out into the world along the way, until found by 3.0.
987* PutOnABus: Apparently forced out of CHIKARA after losing a Loser Leaves Town match at [=CHIKARAsaurus=] Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur. To add insult to injury, he was then officially dumped by Veronica.
988** Not long afterward, videos began appearing on the CHIKARA [=YouTube=] account chronicling his walk through North America. He was spotted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtTGNBYU9v0 within sight of the Statue of Liberty]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsDu1KNSV3o near WWE headquarters]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=197PFP9hz4I in front of the Olympic stadium in Montreal]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwrEzd2XPIk right by the Library of Parliament in Ottawa]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFGpWe-xnXA going past the White House]], only to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfNbdZGdMo4 end up in Dallas]] after two months. Seemingly, he would return as the Mysterious and Handsome Stranger, but the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djqqgSEoW9U Season 11 epilogue]] would prove otherwise. This Archie continued his walk, eventually ending up in Parts Unknown, while the Archie that became the Mysterious and Handsome Stranger continued to compete until the time loop that created him was completed.
989* ProductPlacement: While doing his Mixed Martial Archie gimmick, he took a sip of [=Rockstar Energy=] in his promo before his "[=MMA=] Exhibition" match with Darkness Crabtree at ''Aniversario: A Horse of Another Color'', May 19, 2012. He started the promo by plugging [=Oral B.=]
990* PurpleIsPowerful: In his band uniform as Archibald Peck.
991* ShoutOut: All of his time travel antics are basically a love letter to ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture''.
992* TimeTravel: And it tends to be triggered by being backfisted. This has happened more than once, most recently being named as the cause for the complication listed above, and is further addressed by Archie himself in [[http://web.archive.org/web/20130628130329/http://www.chikarapro.com/blog/3-7-2013.php his March 7th, 2013 blog]].
993** StableTimeLoop: To explain, Archie (as Mixed Martial Archie) was backfisted to the past in a backstage argument with Eddie Kingston during his Loser Leaves Town match listed above, becoming the Mysterious and Handsome Stranger. Meanwhile, a second Archie (as Archibald Peck) returned to finish that match and was exiled from CHIKARA after being pinned. Stranger!Archie (backfisted back to the present by [[Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen]]) appeared a while after Exiled!Archie started his walk, unmasked after slopping Veronica at the Season 11 finale, and was allowed to compete in CHIKARA by reasoning that he was not Exiled!Archie. Stranger!Archie, well aware that he was on borrowed time, still chose to compete against Kingston at the 2nd Stage of the 2013 Tag World Grand Prix, and was backfisted back to that Loser Leaves Town match, becoming Exiled!Archie and presumably closing the loop...
994*** ...except there was more to the loop than once thought. The Ashes video "When?" confirmed that the "doppelgänger" Stranger!Archie saw before the aforementioned backfist was Exiled!Archie, and that he was indeed present at ''Never Compromise'' (quite possibly in more than one form, as two Archies were spotted during the aftermath).
995*** The first time loop resulting from being backfisted took Archie to 2015, and due to both the future he went to changing (as evidenced by him being beaten by Tadasuke, an event that he claimed was in direct contradiction with the information he'd received) and CHIKARA's 2015 yearbook being postponed, may never be resolved...
996*** ...or so everyone thought. Archie appeared at Top Banana, took the sole copy of the 2015 yearbook, learned that he would perish at the hands of Deucalion, and fled the building. Hasn't appeared since, and is still at large.
997** Later deliberately invoked in Archie's grand return at National Pro Wrestling Day 2014, as he returned from Parts Unknown (where he had claimed that time flowed differently) [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture in a [=DeLorean=]]] with 3.0 in tow.
998* WhosLaughingNow: After beating up Mr. Touchdown so bad he was disqualified for excessive violence.
999* WrestlingDoesntPay: Archibald Peck is a wrestling marching band leader.
1000
1001!!!Saturyne
1002* ActionGirl: She has defeated El Hijo del Ice Cream, Kobald, Missile Assault Ant and Tim Donst and twice challenged Mark Angelosetti for the Young Lions' Cup.
1003* AmazonianBeauty: She has a shapely set of abs that were featured prominently in a few of the comics-inspired show artworks.
1004* {{Fangirl}}: For Sara Del Rey. During their match against the Batiri at ''[=Chikarasaurus=] Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur'', the announcers were talking about how Saturyne admires Sara and was inspired by her.
1005* {{Red Baron}}ess: "The Intergalactic Luchadora"
1006* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Chikara "died" in June 2013 she instantly dropped the Saturyne gimmick and changed her ring name to Hania the Howling Huntress, a Native American-inspired gimmick. She's since said that she never wanted to wear a mask and that the Saturyne gimmick made her miserable.
1007
1008[[/folder]]
1009
1010[[folder:People Who First Wrestled in 2012]]
1011!!!17
1012* BigBad: Of GEKIDO. He wasn't quite formidable enough to become Big Bad of Chikara entirely.
1013* BothSidesHaveAPoint: One thing that should be noted about 17 injuring people - with the exception of what he did to Darkness Crabtree and Private Eye Jr., all of the injuries he inflicted on others were caused by legal submission holds during legitimate matches, not by post-match assaults. How much moral culpability this absolves him of is totally YMMV though.
1014* DiscOneFinalBoss: Of season 11. He's gone by the halfway point, though he returned in season 13.
1015* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He was written out of Chikara so abruptly that there was speculation that it was a case of RealLifeWritesThePlot. And for the record, that's exactly what it was - the original 17 was played by [[spoiler:obscure indy wrestler Kyle Matthews]], and the angle was rebooked after he angered Quackenbush by admitting he was 17 in an interview. He did not resume the gimmick when it was brought back as part of the Flood angle.
1016* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his first match in Chikara, he broke Quackenbush's wrist.
1017* EvilCounterpart: Of Mike Quackenbush
1018* FromNobodyToNightmare: His backstory was that he was an indy worker who trained in all the same places Quack did but never got any recognition until he put on a mask and invaded Chikara.
1019* HeroKiller: What made him so scary. He didn't actually kill Quack, but he did break his forearm - and this when Quack hadn't once submitted in Chikara's history! Then he did cripple Tianlong and Dragonfly. And then when he returned, he ended Darkness Crabtree's life when GEKIDO destroyed Wrestling is Intense and in the theatrical version of ''The Ashes Of'', he crippled Private Eye Jr.
1020* HoistByHisOwnPetard: 17 was the one who started deliberately injuring other wrestlers. Quackenbush was the one who finished it. (at least for a year and a half, anyway)
1021* IdentityImpersonator: During the Quack/Jigsaw/Colony (Fire Ant/Soldier Ant)-BDK (Donst/Hammermeier)/Batiri (Kodama/Obariyon) match at ''Caught in the Spider's Den'', February 26, 2012, he ran down to the ring wearing Green Ant's mask. Green Ant followed to confirm it wasn't him. The man in the Green Ant mask then clotheslined Quack, ending the match in a DQ. The rest of GEKIDO immediately followed, attacking Jigsaw and the Colony. 17 took off the Green Ant mask and attacked Quack.
1022** Jimmy Jacobs was convinced that he'd been on the receiving end of this after his ScrewThisImOuttaHere moment. At the time, it was speculated that Kevin Condron had been in the costume, but that was never confirmed or denied and was eventually sank three years later, as The Whisper correctly accused Ophidian of it instead.
1023* MeaningfulName: His name is a TakeThat against Quack. Quack calls himself the Master of 1000 holds. 17 claimed to be the master of "17 forgotten finishing holds" and that he didn't need 1000.
1024* [[NotQuiteDead Not Quite Crippled]]: Showed up at a Wrestling Is Intense show with combatANT and deviANT and destroyed the promotion. Continued to appear with and wrestle for the Flood for almost all of season 14, until departing their ranks. See ScrewThisImOuttaHere below.
1025* PunchClockVillain: His new role as of 2014. He himself said he was only following Deucalion's orders, and while he had crippled Darkness Crabtree and Private Eye Jr., he seems to lack his killer instinct while wrestling.
1026* OmnicidalManiac: The other members of GEKIDO wanted the spots on the roster they felt they'd been denied. 17 just wanted to annihilate the promotion and everyone in it.
1027* OutOfCharacterMoment: At ''You Only Live Twice'', 17 seemed to be having one of those. He didn't really do much during the match, the only submission hold he used was a basic surfboard, he just watched while deviANT was eliminated and he didn't try to defend himself when the Chikara students attacked him. Eventually proved to be justified, as 17 had been replaced before then.
1028* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Spent most of 2014 disillusioned with The Flood and unmotivated in the ring. After Deucalion executed The Shard, 17 saved Frightmare from the same and then left the building, leaving his mask behind. His name was subsequently removed from the roster page.
1029** TheBusCameBack: In a sense, as it was revealed that the 17 mentioned above was Ophidian in disguise, and he temporarily used the identity once more to end the fake Osirian Portal and reclaim his mask and identity as Ophidian from the Whisper.
1030* VaudevilleHook: On the receiving end of one just before the big brawl at National Pro Wrestling Day 2014. Possibly the point where he was replaced.
1031
1032!!!""Mr. Touchdown" Mark Angelosetti
1033* TheAtoner: In [[http://web.archive.org/web/20130424102635/http://www.chikarapro.com/blog/3-4-2013.php his March 4th, 2013 blog entry]], he attempted to invoke this regarding his actions, blaming them on Veronica's influence in an attempt to get back in Dasher Hatfield's good graces.
1034** While he feigned it prior to CHIKARA closing, he became it for real after some tough love from Dasher and a match between the two of them at the Wrestling Is Fun event "Cruel Summer". He even buried the hatchet with Archibald Peck at National Pro Wrestling Day 2014 via a BearHug.
1035** Started doing it again at the tail end of 2015 after the loaded elbowpad he gave Dasher was discovered. Unfortunately, Dasher wasn't having any of it, giving Nazmaldun-as-[=UltraMantis=] the perfect opportunity to make another convert.
1036* {{Brainwashed}}: By Nazmaldun, during a clip shown after Tightrope. As a result of it having taken place during a post-show exclusive clip, many did not know about it until When Nature Calls the next month. Lasted 'til Nazmaldun's banishment at the end of Season 16.
1037* CatchPhrase:
1038-->"SUP NERRRRRRDDDDSSS!!!"
1039* FinishingMove: Flea Flicker, Spinebuster
1040* JerkJock: Though he was listed as a Tecnico for the entirety of season 11 no matter what he did, including ''killing Sapphire''. His status on the roster page was finally changed to Rudo in January of 2013. Toned down a ton after CHIKARA closed.
1041* LargeHam: AND IT'S ''GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!''
1042* LightningBruiser: Okay, true, Saturyne isn't a giant or anything, but, being able to hold a fully-grown human being in the air on ''one hand'' has to count for something.
1043* PartsUnknown: "Touchdown City"
1044* PowerStable:
1045** Dasher's Dugout, with Dasher, Icarus and Heidi Lovelace
1046** Forced into The [=heXed=] Men, due to Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}}.
1047* RedBaron: Mr. Touchdown. Dropped after being {{Brainwashed}} by Nazmaldun, picked back up after Nazmaldun's banishment.
1048** Hallowicked dubbed him "the Battering Ram".
1049* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp: Bullied Archibald Peck in high school, although Marchie Archie appears to have been [[http://web.archive.org/web/20130619143608/http://www.chikarapro.com/blog/4-5-2012.php somehow oblivious to it]].
1050* TokenEvilTeammate: Of the Throwbacks with Dasher Hatfield and Sugar Dunkerton. At least, at first.
1051** Stepped back in this direction in late 2015 by supplying an unknowing Dasher with a loaded elbow pad, which led to Dasher surrendering the points Dasher's Dugout had accumulated in the Challenge of the Immortals tournament.[[note]]Which had the unexpected effect of making the final be Crown and Court ([[Wrestling/KimberLee Princess Kimberlee]], Jervis Cottonbelly and Los Ice Creams) vs. The Wrecking Crew (Max Smashmaster[=/=]Blaster [=McMassive=][=/=]Flex Rumblecrunch[=/=]Jaka}), which Crown and Court won, leading to Kim defeating Hallowicked to become the fourth, and first female, CHIKARA Grand Champion.[[/note]] Immediately regretted it once Dasher started shunning him, leaving him a prime target for Nazmaldun.
1052* UnrelatedBrothers: He was introduced as Dasher Hatfield's step-cousin-in-law. But then, nothing ''is'' really known about Dasher's life outside of wrestling, so who knows?
1053* WrestlingDoesntPay: A wrestling UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball player.
1054* YouMonster: Invoked against him by the fans after he killed Sapphire. He put Sapphire in a sack, bashed the sack against the ring, then did repeated chest drops on the sack, and finally Tebowed next to it while the fans chanted "You're a monster!" at him.
1055
1056!!!Orange Cassidy
1057* Bowdlerize: The Orange Cassidy character's original gimmick was that he was always hung over. Chikara just made him so lazy he could fall asleep in the middle of a match.
1058* BrilliantButLazy: When he can be bothered to care, he's got some decent skill, but it's been stated on commentary that he doesn't care about wrestling.
1059* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: In one match, he watched Princess Kimberlee and Jervis Cottonbelly do a theatrical double team elbow drop that included Jervis kissing Kimberlee on the hand. Orange decided it was awesome and executed it with Chuck Taylor - including kissing his hand. And then he got so psyched up that it had worked that he ran around the ring celebrating. As the commentators said, Chuck Taylor is no bastion of sanity and you have to be pretty out there to get a 'WTF' reaction out of him.
1060* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses orange juice the way that the Great Muta uses poison mist.
1061* PutOnABus: Quietly removed from the roster in 2017.
1062* RedBaron: "Freshly Squeezed".
1063* {{Sleepyhead}}: Has been rocked to sleep during a match on more than one occasion.
1064
1065!!![=combatANT=]
1066* TheBrute: His role in GEKIDO.
1067* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Has not been seen or mentioned since National Pro Wrestling Day.
1068* DeceptiveDisciple: He and the other two members of The Swarm were Wrestle Factory dropouts.
1069* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Quackenbush unceremoniously gave him a dragon sleeper neck wrench kind of thing at King of Trios, probably ending his career - although he eventually resurfaced he was still wearing a neckbrace and never wrestled.
1070* EvilCounterpart: Of Soldier Ant
1071* [[NotQuiteDead Not Quite Crippled]]: Showed up at a Wrestling Is Intense show with 17 and deviANT and destroyed the promotion, then appeared with the Flood at Wrestling Is Fun, Wrestling Is Respect, and National Pro Wrestling Day. However, he was wearing a neckbrace all along and disappeared from the group before ''You Only Live Twice''.
1072
1073!!!Devastation Corporation (Max Smashmaster & Blaster [=McMassive=] & Flex Rumblecrunch)
1074* BarbarianLonghair: The entire time he was in Chikara, Flex never cut his hair, and he went from a relatively short cut to a barbarian's mane.
1075* BeardOfEvil: Blaster [=McMassive=]
1076* {{Brainwashed}}: Flex Rumblecrunch. He used to work the northeast USA indies under the name Sean Burke. He was brainwashed by Bakabella and became Rumblecrunch.
1077* CallingYourAttacks: "DEATH BLOW!"
1078* CommutingOnABus: Flex Rumblecrunch surprisingly showed up for the 2018 Infinite Gauntlet.
1079* CurbStompBattle: How they were introduced at King of Trios 2012's Tag Gauntlet. They mowed through four teams in short order, until Demolition showed them how it was done.
1080* DeathFromAbove: Their FinishingMove the Death Blow is a top rope splash from Max to an opponent who Blaster is holding in a backbreaker over his knee.
1081** Shows up in their normal offense, as well. Blaster has done [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSInUDrm6Fc over-the-top-rope dives]] outside the ring, while Max has done moonsaults.
1082** They debuted a new move at Tomorrow Never Dies (December 2014), the Master Blaster, in which Max holds the opponent in a torture rack while Blaster does a top rope elbow drop.
1083* DelinquentHair: Max Smashmaster had a mohawk and an otherwise shaved head, though he soon grew it out and arguably looked even more like a delinquent, especially when he sported something that looked like a unicorn's horn at ''Top Banana''. Quack and Bryce were on commentary and compared it to [[Creator/MartinShort Ed Grimley]] from ''Series/{{SCTV}}'', and then admitted to how dated the reference was.
1084* EarlyBirdCameo: Flex Rumblecrunch was first spotted at ''Under The Hood'' (December 2012). After accompanying D-Corp during their entrance, he went backstage, and wouldn't be seen or heard from again until May 18th, 2013, during the Tag World Grand Prix, when he turned up and helped Smashmaster & [=McMassive=] brutally beat down the Colony.
1085* {{Expy}}: Of Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors, Wrestling/{{Demolition}}, and other similarly Mad Max themed tag teams.
1086* FacialMarkings: They wear face-paint in the vein of Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors or Demolition.
1087* FatBastard: Max Smashmaster, though he has slimmed down recently.
1088* GracefulLoser: How did Max Smashmaster respond to losing his loser leaves match with Quackenbush? By bowing to the fans, leaving the arena peacefully, and a few days later on twitter congratluating Quack and apologizing to the fans for having been mean.
1089* HiredGuns: Will work for anyone who pays them.
1090* LargeHam: At National Pro Wrestling Day 2014, when the fans started to chant for Chikara, Blaster countered the chants with three entire pigs worth of ham.
1091-->'''[=Blaster McMassive=]''': SHUT UP, FOOLS! IT'S DEAAAAD! IIIITTTS DEEEEAAAAAADDDDD!!
1092* LightningBruiser: All three to an extent, since they are huge guys who could move around very well. Max even pulled off a ''moonsault'' at ''Top Banana'', but it missed. Blaster is the fastest of the three and regularly uses a no-hands tope con hilo.
1093* PutOnABus: Blaster following Max's attack on him during King of Trios 2016, as he'd finished up his commitments. Flex followed after the October shows, as he was on the receiving end of the same treatment from Max. Max himself followed at the end of 2017, as he had decided to retire.
1094** It came out during the [=#SpeakingOut=] movement that Blaster was actually ''fired''. After Blaster made a tweet about "enough creepy white boys getting fired that people would start booking him", Leonard F. Chikarason responded by slamming Blaster for trying to piggyback on the movement in such a crude selfish and racist way, then offering to tell anyone interested in booking Thomas Sharpe[[note]]Blaster's ring name post-Chikara[[/note]] about why Blaster got fired from Chikara. Blaster backed down.
1095* SanitySlippage: Max Smashmaster went off the deep end sometime between Seasons Fifteen and Sixteen, leading to him declaring his intent to outright murder Princess Kimberlee. This led to...
1096** PutOnABus: Smashmaster went mad at Evil Ways (Feb 28, 2016) and attacked Kimberlee after a tag match pitting her and Oleg against Blaster and Flex. He then attacked security, then attacked Quackenbush, was dragged out of the building by the entire tecnico roster, and [[http://chikara101.proboards.com/thread/6214/daily-scoop-feb-max-smashmaster fired the next day]]. As of March 2016, the Devastation Corporation's Twitter account no longer mentions him, only Blaster and Flex.
1097*** TheBusCameBack: Showed up again during No One's First, And You're Next (August 2016), taking Vlad Radinov hostage and successfully demanding his job back.
1098* ScreamingWarrior: Max Smashmaster.
1099%%* SesquipedalianSmith: Inverted with Max Smashmaster and Flex Rumblecrunch.
1100
1101!!![=deviANT=]
1102* CombatPragmatist: As seen at the Season 12 finale. After The Shard beat up assailANT and Quackenbush made the save, deviANT... threw Quack out of the ring and quickly covered assailANT to win.
1103* DeceptiveDisciple: He and the other two members of The Swarm were Wrestle Factory dropouts.
1104* DirtyCoward: He literally begged Quackenbush to stop trying to injure the GEKIDO wrestlers. Quack wasn't having any of it.
1105** After the injury of 17 and combatANT he claimed that all he wanted was a fair shot at being on the Chikara roster and hadn't he and the rest of GEKIDO paid enough dues after their stablemates were injured in cold blood? As the Ashes videos would show, he was lying through his teeth trying to avoid the same fate.
1106* EnigmaticMinion: He tends to disappear for a few months at a time and reappear abruptly, almost like he's working more behind the scenes than in the wrestling ring...
1107* EvilCounterpart: Of Green Ant.
1108* KilledOffForReal: Executed by Deucalion at ''Goldfinger'', after being blamed for his team's loss by Jimmy Jacobs.
1109* OmnicidalManiac: Same as 17, only he attempted to burn down the Wrestle Factory in order to accomplish it.
1110* OnlySaneMan: Showed shades of this as the leader of Colony Xtreme Force. At least he tried to get the [=CXF=] ants to stop yelling their own names all the time.
1111* TheScapegoat: Jimmy Jacobs used him as one in the incident described under KilledOffForReal above to dodge Deucalion's wrath.
1112
1113!!!The Shard
1114* TheBusCameBack: Kind of. The Shard never came back, but John Silver, the wrestler under the mask, participated in the 2018 Cibernetico.
1115* TheDragon: His role in GEKIDO. Averted regarding the Flood.
1116* EvilCounterpart: Of Jigsaw. Ironically, as of late 2012, Jigsaw turned Rudo and adopted The Shard.
1117* KilledOffForReal: Executed by Deucalion during ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service''.
1118* RealMenWearPink: Shard's outfit was black with neon pink trim - the same shade of neon pink that Wrestling/BretHart wears, even.
1119* WrenchWhack: To Jigsaw's knee, as part of GEKIDO's debut.
1120
1121!!!Swamp Monster
1122* OddFriendship: With Gary the Barn Owl. He even allowed Gary to perch on him during King of Trios 2014.
1123%%* PlantPerson
1124* PutOnABus: Quietly removed from the roster in 2017.
1125* ShoutOut: To ComicBook/SwampThing.
1126* TokenGoodTeammate: Until a 2015 roster update labeled him a rudo, he was the only face on the roster of The Gentlemen's Club, though Chuck Taylor seemed to be the only one to actively resent him for it.
1127
1128!!!Tianlong
1129* SacrificialLamb: His entire role in Chikara was to get injured by 17.
1130
1131!!!Worker Ant II (formerly assailANT)
1132* TheAtoner: After actually deciding to turn tecnico and join the Colony for real. Supposedly. As of National Pro Wrestling Day 2014, no "supposedly" about it.
1133* BecomingTheMask: Wink Vavasseur, using his "Chikarabermetrics", switched assailANT into The Colony and Soldier Ant into The Swarm. It took most of 2012 for him to lose his rudo habits, but assailANT ended up turning on GEKIDO to join The Colony. He's since prevented his former comrades from burning down the Wrestle Factory and was one of Icarus' first allies.
1134* TheBigGuy: His tagline on the pre-2013 CHIKARA roster page was "The big, blue bruiser of The Colony" and he referred to himself as the biggest ant in CHIKARA.
1135* BoisterousBruiser: As seen in his newer blogs.
1136* BookEnds: The Ashes series ended with him being told "You're a Worker now", as he was given Worker Ant's gear.
1137* DeceptiveDisciple: He and the other two members of The Swarm were Wrestle Factory dropouts.
1138* EvilCounterpart: Ostensibly of Fire Ant. Although where the other members of GEKIDO were evil clones of their counterparts, assailANT was more like Fire Ant's complete opposite - blue instead of red, power wrestler instead of high flyer, sinister talker instead of almost never speaking English...
1139* EvilGenius: His role in GEKIDO.
1140* GoodFeelsGood: His explanation for his original (phony) face turn.
1141* HazyFeelTurn: Although his turn seemed pretty genuine, during 2012 he was the only wrestler on the CHIKARA roster with no stated alignment. And while he seemed to be enjoying being part of The Colony, he didn't seem at all concerned about Soldier Ant. He was also effusive in his praise of the otherwise-despised Wink Vavasseur.
1142* HeelRealization: Some time after CHIKARA's closure in 2013, he had a son. It wasn't until he thought about whether his son would have been proud of what he was doing that he decided to turn his back on GEKIDO and what they stood for and join CHIKARA properly.
1143* TheMole: For a short time. His taking the superkick was actually just a stunt to get the CHIKARA loyalists to trust him. It wasn't until his son was born that he had a change of heart.
1144* NiceJobFixingItVillain: According to Wink Vavasseur, he was viewed as the "weak link" of GEKIDO and was intentionally placed with The Colony to adulterate it. This directly led to his HeelRealization, his becoming TheAtoner, spurning his old allies when they tried to destroy CHIKARA, and becoming the second Worker Ant.
1145* [[HeelFaceTurn Rudo Tecnico Turn]]: assailANT finally sided with CHIKARA for good at National Pro Wrestling Day 2014.
1146** He had a son, and wanted to be someone his son would be proud of. This lead to his finally being fully accepted by Green and Fire Ant - and they gave him the box containing Worker Ant's gear.
1147* PutOnABus: After National Pro Wrestling Day 2017, courtesy of an attack by Frightmare.
1148** TheBusCameBack: Returned in April 2018 to mentor Green and Thief Ant.
1149* [[TakingTheBullet Taking The Superkick]]: How he officially turned face and gained Quack's acceptance.
1150* TokenEvilTeammate: After being reassigned to The Colony, he was this for the first several months.
1151[[/folder]]
1152
1153[[folder: People Who First Wrestled in 2013]]
1154!!!The Colony: Xtreme Force (Missile Assault Ant (later Missile Assault Man), Arctic Rescue Ant (later Bullet Ant), and Orbit Adventure Ant)
1155
1156''For tropes relating to Missile Assault Ant's post-CXF gimmick, see the entry below for Missile Assault Man.''
1157
1158* BackForTheDead: After disappearing from CHIKARA for over a year, Orbit Adventure Ant came back for King of Trios 2015, where was executed by Snowflake via Deucalion's Chokebreaker.
1159* TheBully: Missile Assault Ant does not approve of having to wrestle against women, and turns into this when he does. Heidi Lovelace made him regret it.
1160* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Orbit Adventure Ant disappeared some time in mid-late 2014, though his absence was referenced in [[http://chikara101.proboards.com/post/168175 a post on the 101]] from Mike Quackenbush.
1161* [[CreatorsPet Creator's Pets]]: InUniverse. Created by Wink Vavasseur, hyped by Wink Vavasseur, fawned over by Wink Vavasseur, ''arbitrarily and retroactively declared the Kings of Trios'' by Wink Vavasseur.
1162** Even more deliberate after Wink revealed that the Xtreme Force were handpicked by the Titor Conglomerate.
1163* DarkAndTroubledPast: The Condor agent who became Missile Assault Ant once blew up a school bus in Zimbabwe under orders from Deucalion, among many other things brought to light by the reveal of the contents of Axel Ford's journal. It's safe to assume Arctic Rescue Ant and Orbit Adventure Ant, also being Condor agents, had done similar things as well.
1164* DevilInPlainSight: Wink Vavasseur [[https://twitter.com/WinkVavasseur/status/387433163674222592 outright said on Twitter in October of 2013]] that the Xtreme Force were Condor Security mercenaries in disguise, yet until [[ChekhovsGun Kevin Condron used it to help identify Missile Assault Ant's unmasked identity]], no one had seemed to notice or mention it, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking taking umbrage with them being blatant ripoffs of the Colony]] instead!
1165* HeroicSacrifice: Bullet Ant sacrificed himself to protect Silver Ant from Frightmare on the February 12th, 2017 edition of the Hour of Power, shoving him out of the way and taking a Backcracker in his stead.
1166* IdentityImpersonator: Missile Assault Man, as someone claiming to be the real Axel Ford was seen at intermission during ''It Came From Beneath The Sink!'' asking about him. Later directly confirmed by Professor Nicodemus, who stated that he'd taken the real Ford's memories and implanted them into MAM's head.
1167* LesserStar: Orbit Adventure Ant and Arctic Rescue Ant, as compared to Missile Assault Ant. Arctic soon forged his own identity, while Orbit was [[KilledOffForReal done away with]].
1168* MeaningfulRename: Upon being adopted by Worker Ant as a partner, Arctic Rescue Ant changed his name to Bullet Ant.
1169* PokemonSpeak: The only things the three seemed to be capable of saying were their names. Which they did. Over and over and over again. Missile Assault Ant was the most guilty of this, as it even extended to his (now-deleted) Twitter account and was incorporated into his moveset.
1170** Occasionally they said buzzwords instead.
1171** However, in their debut, with Soldier Ant against the Colony (Fire Ant and [=assailANT=]), Dasher Hatfield and Saturyne at ''Just Shadows in the Fog,'' Orbit Adventure Ant said the following to Saturyne:
1172-->"You're from outer space. I'm from outer space too."
1173* TheSomethingForce: Colony Extreme Force, to be specific.
1174* TotallyRadical: Parodied. They were created by Wink Vavasseur in response to The Colony's popularity. Their finisher names are like this - for example, Arctic Rescue Ant's FinishingMove, an ordinary Guillotine Legdrop, is called [="2Radical MegaAir Tailbone Slammer: Xtreme"=]. And finally, their alignment listed on the roster page isn't rudo or tecnico, it's Totally Radical. Their wrestling style is listed as Awesome. [[note]]This refers to the old roster page from before the 2013 closure and 2014 revamp of the Chikara website.[[/note]]
1175
1176!!!Missile Assault Man
1177* BaldOfEvil: After he unmasked, as seen above. Eventually became subverted once he turned full ''[[{{Face}} tecnico]]'' during the feud between CHIKARA and The [=heXed=] Men.
1178* BerserkButton: Missile Assault Man's is being reminded of what he'd believed he had done in the past. When Snowflake (Condron) smacked the button HARD in 2016, MAM snapped and issued a savage beatdown.
1179** It was thought that The Whisper would be on the receiving end of a button-caused beatdown in 2017 as he made the contents of Axel Ford's journal public, but he averted it by empathizing with MAM instead of mocking him.
1180* {{Brainwashed}}: By Professor Nicodemus, later revealed to be the MadScientist creator of The Proteus Wheel. Nicodemus brainwashed him into believing he was Axel Ford, to the point of implanting Ford's memories.
1181* TheBully: Missile Assault Ant does not approve of having to wrestle against women, and turns into this when he does. [[Wrestling/RubyRiott Heidi Lovelace]] made him regret it.
1182* DarkAndTroubledPast: The Condor agent who became Missile Assault Ant once blew up a school bus in Zimbabwe under orders from Deucalion, among many other things brought to light by the reveal of the contents of Axel Ford's journal. In regards to MAM, the 2018 revelation of his identity (not the real Axel Ford, but brainwashed to believe he was) cast significant doubt as to who actually had the Dark and Troubled Past: him or the real Axel Ford.
1183* FinishingMove: A buckle bomb called the Missile Launcher.
1184* IdentityImpersonator: Missile Assault Man, as someone claiming to be the real Axel Ford was seen at intermission during ''It Came From Beneath The Sink!'' asking about him. Later directly confirmed by Professor Nicodemus, who stated that he'd taken the real Ford's memories and implanted them into MAM's head.
1185* MeaningfulRename: Much like his then-partners in Battleborn, Missile Assault Ant changed his name to Missile Assault Man upon unmasking.
1186* MindRape: Professor Nicodemus subjected MAM to this via implanting memories of the real Axel Ford.
1187* PutOnABus: Missile Assault Man was moved to the Alumni section of the roster in 2018. [[TheBusCameBack He returned]] in late 2018, soon after the real Axel Ford started showing up.
1188
1189!!!Sir Oliver Grimsly
1190* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Disappeared from CHIKARA before the end of 2014, possibly because there wasn't anything in particular for him to do with the other two members of the Odditorium gone from CHIKARA.
1191* ClassyCane: Carried one. It's more faux-classy than classy but it fits in with the [[Literature/AClockworkOrange Alex DeLarge]] part of his gimmick.
1192* EarlyBirdCameo: Wrestled a match in 2013, then showed up as a member of Sinn Bodhi's Odditorium.
1193* TheGimmick: His seemed to be something like a combination of a circus ringmaster and an {{Expy}} of [[Literature/AClockworkOrange Alex DeLarge]].
1194
1195!!!Rory Gulak
1196* CatchPhrase: "AMAZING!"
1197* CommutingOnABus: Began appearing more sporadically in 2018.
1198* EarlyBirdCameo: Wrestled at National Pro Wrestling Day '13, then did not show up again until the Johnny Kidd Invitational in 2017.
1199* LargeHam: Initially in earnest, then more disingenuously after his FaceHeelTurn.
1200* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Inherited Gran Akuma's "toughen up the rookies" gimmick after the latter retired. Also inherited his brother Drew's spot as a Wrestle Factory trainer. When he began CommutingOnABus, Icarus inherited the "toughen up the rookies" gimmick from him in turn.
1201* TookALevelInJerkass: In the tail end of season 18, particularly after being taken to the limit by Travis Huckabee.
1202* UnPerson: After allegations of Gulak being a predator towards women and being in possession of child pornography surfaced in early 2020, CHIKARA [[https://twitter.com/CHIKARApro/status/1214169869190606851 released a statement]] and removed all trace of him from both the promotion's and the Wrestle Factory's websites.
1203* WrestlingFamily: Drew Gulak's brother.
1204
1205!!![[Wrestling/RubyRiott Heidi Lovelace]]
1206* BookEnds: Her first and last CHIKARA matches were both against Arik Cannon, something she pointed out while challenging him to the latter.
1207* BoyishShortHair: To go with the Punk Rock aesthetic she added to her gimmick.
1208* GreenEyedMonster: She developed something of a complex over Princess Kimberlee's greater success and her inability to beat her, which was resolved after she was finally able to beat her.
1209* PutOnABus: Headed to Wrestling/{{WWE}}.
1210* RedBaron: "The Punk Rock Ragdoll," then later "The Spark Plug of the Squared Circle."
1211* YouGoGirl: Pinned Missile Assault Ant in the ''Tomorrow Never Dies'' preshow to become the first female Young Lions Cup champion and CHIKARA's very first female champion.
1212
1213!!!Shynron (formerly Shenron)
1214* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Like Ashley Remington below, his appearances gradually tapered off until he vanished completely. He was removed from the roster in 2017.
1215* RedBaron: "The Spirit Dragon"
1216* ShoutOut: Formerly one to Anime/DragonBallZ.
1217[[/folder]]
1218
1219[[folder:People Who First Wrestled In 2014]]
1220!!!Mr. Azerbaijan
1221* CommutingOnABus: In 2016, as he started making sporadic appearances and stopped associating with the Bloc Party until Prakash Sabar left, after which he reunited with the Proletariat Boar of Moldova.
1222* ForeignWrestlingHeel: From Azerbaijan.
1223* FunnyForeigner: In his wrestling style. He doesn't wear boots, and he delivers a lot of moves strangely - for example, he doesn't fall over backwards when he executes a vertical suplex, he just drops the opponent. Commentators have speculated that it's just some weird Azerbaijani tradition.
1224* InformedAttractiveness: Wears a mask, but it's mentioned during his ring introductions that he won Azerbaijan's sexiest man competition for several years in a row.
1225* YouNoTakeCandle: He speaks like this. To quote from a blog he wrote in October 2014...
1226-->Not since the year two thousand and the three has Mr. Azerbaijan felt so treated unfairly. Of course, Mr. Azerbaijan is being referred to year of coal miner strike which cause Sexiest Man in Azerbaijan contest to be cancelled. Breaking Mr. Azerbaijan Sexiest Man in Azerbaijan streak since the year nineteen ninety and the four.
1227
1228!!!"Juke Joint" Lucas Calhoun (formerly Volgar I)
1229* CloneAngst: Angsted a lot about being Volgar #77 before deciding to fight back against the Proteus Wheel.
1230* DarkSecret: His current identity was it, and it was exposed by Kevin Condron at ''Back to Skull''.
1231** His past as Volgar, and his subsequent connection to Jeremy Leary and the Proteus Wheel, ended up becoming an even bigger example.
1232* TheDragon: He was Jimmy Jacobs' acolyte.
1233* EarlyBirdCameo: Appeared during the 11/30/13 scavenger hunt event, along with his now-former partner Callux.
1234* EnemyMine: With Jeremy Leary, to take on the Proteus Wheel.
1235* {{Expy}}: Of "The Real Double J", Rockabilly, and/or the Honky Tonk Man originally. More recently, Music/ElvisPresley.
1236* LovecraftCountry: Invoked in his promo at ''The Empty Child'', which was held at The Old Country Banquet Hall in Enfield, CT. He said that New England was the home of "[[Literature/HerbertWestReanimator Miskatonic University]], Arkham and Literature/TheColourOutOfSpace".
1237* MeaningfulName: Volgar is a derivative of Volga, both the name of the largest river in Europe based in Russia and also the Russian word for "wet", both tying into the theme of The Flood. Later on, it also tied into the Proteus Wheel, as Proteus was a Greek sea god.
1238* MeaningfulRename: Like Kevin Condron (and prompted by him), threw down his former masked identity.
1239* NotWhatISignedOnFor: Reacted with shock and horror after Kevin Condron murdered Orbit Adventure Ant.
1240** ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Subsequently got sick of Snowflake, to the point of walking out on him and Battleborn.
1241* RedBaron: "Juke Joint"
1242* ReplacementGoldfish: That journal Missile Assault Man carried around [[https://thejournalofaxelford.tumblr.com/ suggested]] that he wasn't the first Volgar, which was later confirmed when a second Volgar was introduced as part of the Proteus Wheel and confirmed further when he directly admitted to being the 77th Volgar.
1243* StoutStrength: A pretty hefty guy but certainly a strong one, as well.
1244
1245!!!Juan Francisco De Coronado (John Francis of Coronado)
1246* TheChewToy: Icarus' successor to this trope, as he quickly established himself as one of CHIKARA's most hated luchadors. People would actually ''walk out of the venue'' during his Wrestling is Fun! promos.
1247** Strangely, this was reversed for No One's First, And You're Next in August 2016, as The Big Deal proved such a HateSink that people started ''chanting for de Coronado''!
1248* [[ForeignWrestlingHeel Foreign Wrestling Rudo]]: From Ecuador, until he got kicked out.
1249* RedBaron: "The Equadorian Aristocrat", until he got kicked out of Ecuador.
1250* RichesToRags: After getting kicked out of Ecuador, to the point of dropping his haughty demeanor and changing his name.
1251* SmallNameBigEgo: "I sold out the Ecuadome!"
1252* TheStateless: Became this at National Pro Wrestling Day 2019, as his failure to pay a decade's worth of taxes resulted in his Ecuadorian citizenship being revoked.
1253* VillainousFriendship: Had one with the Proletariat Boar of Moldova before they fell out over the United Nations' losing streak. Quickly developed one with Wani until the latter's departure, and later attached himself to the Closers until he couldn't pay them enough.
1254
1255!!!Deucalion
1256* AssholeVictim: Let's just say that when you inflict career ending injuries on as many people as Deucalion did, no one's going to sympathize with you even if you get hit in the head with a giant hammer.
1257* BadBoss: See YouHaveFailedMe.
1258* BaldOfEvil: Under the mask.
1259* BeardOfEvil: Under the mask.
1260* BerserkButton: Being called a coward.
1261* BilingualBonus: Quite a few. Among the writings on his outfit, he had the kanji for "War" (Sensou) on his left arm and his wristband had the Latin words "Vitam" (Life).
1262* BlackEyesOfEvil: And it was ''creepy.''
1263* BigBad: Of Season 14 and leader of The Flood.
1264* BreakingSpeech: Gave one to CHIKARA as a whole at ''Moonraker'', asking if the fans were happy that CHIKARA was back at the expense of its wrestlers, and that people like The Estonian Thunderfrog and Archibald Peck were dead and never coming back.
1265* CoolMask: The little fan in the mouthpiece actually spun!
1266* DarkIsEvil: Clad head to toe in black.
1267* TheDreaded: Is very quickly becoming this. Almost every time he appeared during season 14, someone was crippled.
1268* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Showed up out of nowhere with Delirious and Soldier Ant, stood in the ring alone while his forces combat CHIKARA, took a spear from Kobald like it was nothing and broke the goblin's back with a Chokeslam-Backbreaker.
1269** Also got another one where he heartlessly destroyed his own minion, deviANT, in his second appearance.
1270* EvilSoundsDeep: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMyUYsJzvG0 And creepy]]. Even deeper and creepier after he was unmasked.
1271* {{Expy}}: Seemed to have quite a bit of [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises Bane]] to him, from a similar military outfit, imposing mask, huge size and breaking a hero's back. He was even similar to the comic version of Bane by organizing the Rogue's Gallery to suit his needs.
1272* {{Foreshadowing}}: Referred to on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILSZP05thEU Archibald Peck's conspiracy board]]: "Who is the Titan of Titor?"
1273** Even earlier than that (and [[http://chikaraspecial.tumblr.com/post/106737797311/jimmy-jacobs-blog-12-31-2014 indirectly confirmed]] by Jimmy Jacobs), he was referred to as the mysterious head of Condor Security, "Duke", on [[http://noprivatearmy.blogspot.com/2013/06/head-condor-takes-flight-following.html the No Private Army blog]].
1274* HeroKiller: His appearances generally meant that someone was going off the roster. His list: Kobald, deviANT, The Estonian Thunderfrog, The Latvian Proud Oak, Create-A-Wrestler II, Equinox III, Archibald Peck, and The Shard.
1275* KilledOffForReal: Destroyed by Icarus wielding The Estonian Thunderfrog's Hammer of War at Tomorrow Never Dies.
1276* KnightOfCerebus: Easily the darkest and most vicious villain ever seen in CHIKARA, and the tone and atmosphere of the company changed as a result of his actions.
1277* LargeAndInCharge: The guy was huge, bigger than Tursas. And he was in charge.
1278* MeaningfulName: In Myth/ClassicalMythology, Deucalion and his wife were the survivors of the Greek version of TheGreatFlood; the name is all too appropriate to the leader of the Flood.
1279* PaperTiger: He may be UnskilledButStrong, but when he went into a singles match against Icarus, Icarus survived his initial assault and then completely dismantled him. As the commentators noted, Deucalion was not a wrestler and had no actual game plan.
1280* RedBaron: "The Titan of Titor", "The Engine of Destruction"
1281* SlasherSmile: After crippling both Equinox III and Create-A-Wrestler II. Also very creepy.
1282* SuperSoldier: His overall motif.
1283* UnskilledButStrong: After making a whole season of breaking people in half, the two whole matches he had showed that Deucalion was a incredibly powerful monster who threw his opponents around like ragdolls. But he literally had zero wrestling technique, because he was not actually a wrestler. Icarus, who is [[WeakButSkilled comparatively weak but skilled]], was able to exploit Deucalion's brute strength and finished him off by countering the chokebreaker into the Chikara Special.
1284* YouHaveFailedMe: Broke deviANT's back after a poor showing in the June shows, and did the same to The Shard after a similarly poor showing in the November shows.
1285** Also attempted this on Jimmy Jacobs after he failed to win the Grand Championship.
1286** His penchant for offing his own underlings came back to bite him hard when Jacobs convinced the rest of the Flood to abandon him for this reason.
1287
1288!!!The Estonian Thunderfrog (Estonian [=FarmerFrog=]
1289* BackFromTheDead: Reincarnated, as iPPV viewers witnessed in the ''Tomorrow Never Dies'' stinger "Waseca County". In October 2015, his reincarnation, the Estonian [=FarmerFrog=], made his CHIKARA debut, then re-became the Thunderfrog in February 2016.
1290* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Disappeared without explanation after Season 16 finished. In 2017, he tweeted that he no longer worked for CHIKARA, and was removed from the roster page months later.
1291* CommutingOnABus: Commuted in for King of Trios 2018.
1292* FunnyForeigner: Was from Estonia and didn't have a good grasp of the English language. Chuck Taylor and the Gentleman's Club delighted in teaching him curse words without telling him what they actually meant.
1293* KilledOffForReal: Executed by Deucalion at ''The World Is Not Enough''.
1294* OddFriendship: With Jervis Cottonbelly. The [=FarmerFrog=] looked to be rekindling this with him, until he became the Thunderfrog once more.
1295* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: The Hammer of Peace/War. It could barely be moved by anyone besides the Thunderfrog, much less actually lifted. After the Thunderfrog's death, this overlapped with TakeUpMySword, as the Hammer was lifted and claimed by Icarus at the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-U54xPWCmw this video]]. After Icarus was found unworthy, the [=FarmerFrog=] claimed the Hammer after ''Top Banana''.
1296* ShoutOut: To ComicBook/TheMightyThor. Also a minor one to Literature/TheFrogPrince, as he sure loved his princesses. (And milk maids. And queens.)
1297
1298!!!Haack 'n' Slaash
1299* CoDragons: To Dr. Cube
1300* EliteMook: Compared to Dr. Cube's rank-and-file human minions.
1301* IdentityImpersonator: Following the reveal that Dr. Cube was Jakob Hammermeier, one of the two followed him to the BDK - and soon revealed himself as Pinkie Sanchez. The other [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome disappeared]].
1302
1303!!!Jaka
1304* AnimalMotif: Jaguars.
1305* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Hasn't been seen or mentioned since June 2016.
1306* ElectiveMute: You'd only know it if you followed his CZW career, but he used to be a {{motormouth}} - non-stop trash talk all match long. He took a vow of silence after an embarassing loss. It is implied that this somehow led to his affiliation with Bakabella and his arrival in Wrestling Is.
1307* HazyFeelTurn: Left Bakabella's Wrecking Crew to join the Bruderschaft. From all indications, the Eye of Tyr was not involved.
1308* PintsizedPowerhouse: While he only stood 5'8 in a stable where the rest of the members stood around 6'6-6'7, Jaka was just as ferocious and dangerous as the other members of Sidney Bakabella's Wrecking Crew. And it's ''barely'' fair to call him pint-sized, since shoulder-to-shoulder he was wider than any of the Wrecking Crew except for Max Smashmaster.
1309* ScreamingWarrior: He might've quit talking, but he would scream and snarl during his matches and his stablemates' promos.
1310* WildSamoan: Actually billed from Chad, Africa, but still an invocation of this type of character.
1311
1312!!!BLANK (formerly Race Jaxon)
1313* CatchPhrase: "That's so Race", used while he was "Young And Handsome".
1314* {{Expy}}: Of Wrestling/OwenHart as a member of N_R_G, who were based on High Energy (Owen and Wrestling/KokoBWare) in 1992-1993 WWE, and the Young and Handsome persona bears some resemblance to [[Wrestling/RickMartel "The Model" Rick Martel]].
1315* FateWorseThanDeath: Forced to wear a mask at the hands of Hype Rockwell, meaning that nobody can ever see his face in CHIKARA again. As of Season Nineteen, he seemed to have accepted his fate, renaming himself BLANK.
1316* ItsAllAboutMe: Post-FaceHeelTurn.
1317* {{Keet}}: Pre-FaceHeelTurn.
1318* NotInTheFace: As part of Race Jaxon's heel turn, he no longer wanted to be hit in the face.
1319* RedBaron: "The Generator" during the N_R_G days. He adopted "Young and Handsome" afterward.
1320* ThirdPersonPerson: As BLANK.
1321%%* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: BLANK's in-universe gimmick is that he's an artist who likes to create incomprehensible art.
1322
1323!!!The Latvian Proud Oak
1324* FunnyForeigner: Much like his former partner the Estonian Thunderfrog.
1325* KilledOffForReal: Executed by Deucalion during ''Permis De Tuer''.
1326%%* WhenTreesAttack
1327
1328!!!The Lithuanian Snow Troll
1329* AintTooProudToBeg: It got him out of being executed by Deucalion.
1330* DirtyCoward: Has been viewed as this for begging his way out of sharing the same fate as his former friends, especially by commentary.
1331* FlatCharacter: As one third of the Baltic Siege. Estonian Thunderfrog was the big guy, Latvian Proud Oak was of course played by RD Evans and provided the comedy, Troll... didn't really have any particular personality before the day he begged his way out of execution.
1332* FunnyForeigner: He was a member of the Baltic Siege, after all.
1333* HappinessInSlavery: Seemed to have developed this towards Jimmy Jacobs and the Flood, enough to attack Icarus and return to them after being freed.
1334** Had developed the same towards Kevin Condron, as he chose to follow him upon being freed for the second time during ''Tomorrow Never Dies''. Also developed it towards Snowflake by extension.
1335** After being found underneath the ring, he developed this towards The Whisper.
1336* NonActionGuy: Followed Condron, but didn't do anything in the way of wrestling from then until 2018, when he had a short run as The Whisper's tag partner.
1337* PutOnABus: Though he turned up in attendance at King of Trios 2016, he wasn't seen in a CHIKARA ring from the time Kevin Condron departed until...
1338** TheBusCameBack: The 2/12/17 Hour of Power, where The Whisper found him underneath the ring.
1339** In 2018, Whisper put him back on the bus temporarily, [[https://twitter.com/ProteusWheel/status/983495368716574720 in the care of the Proteus Wheel]]. He came back temporarily as Trollzilla, then disappeared again once the Wheel's upgrades wore off.
1340
1341!!!Nøkken
1342* {{Brainwashed}}: A victim of the Eye of Tyr, courtesy of Jakob "Dr. Cube" Hammermeier.
1343%%* TheBrute
1344* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Parted ways with CHIKARA after ''Top Banana''. Speculation is that he was shown the door after no-showing several events. His last appearance was at ''King of Trios 2014 Night III'', where he and Pinkie Sanchez won the Tag Team Gauntlet, giving them the three points to challenge for the Campeonatos de Parejas, with no storyline explanation. He later quit Twitter and appears to have left wrestling altogether.
1345* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Was genuinely distraught over what happened to Tursas and swore revenge.
1346* ForeignWrestlingHeel: From Norway.
1347* HornyVikings: Albeit his mask looked more demonic then Tursas' Viking helm.
1348* MeaningfulName: Like Tursas is the name of a Finnish sea monster, Nøkken is the name of Norwegian river demons.
1349%%* MightyGlacier
1350* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Averted. Promised a war against the Estonian Thunderfrog for what happened to Tursas, but Deucalion got to him first.
1351* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Was frequently mistaken for Tursas during his time in Wrestling Is. The real Tursas debuted on the same CHIKARA show that Nøkken did, so it had a diminished effect in CHIKARA proper.
1352
1353!!!Oleg The Usurper
1354* BeardOfBarbarism: He sports a bushy viking beard.
1355* BeardOfEvil: Well, he always has the beard, but if he's working heel it counts. Especially since he debuted as a heel.
1356%%* BloodKnight
1357* CallingYourAttacks: "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!"
1358* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: At times like learning how to play baseball or driving a tractor like he was trying to ride a horse.
1359** Was utterly fascinated with Eric Corvis' electronic glove at Night Three of the 2014 Tag World Grand Prix, almost to AttentionDeficitOohShiny levels.
1360* DumbMuscle: It gets reiterated on commentary that Oleg is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
1361* HeroKiller: Beheaded Dragon Dragon with a forearm clothesline at a Wrestling is Fun show.
1362%%* HornyVikings
1363* TheLoad: Bakabella and the rest of the Wrecking Crew considered him to be this.
1364** Was considered to be this for the Arcane Horde as well, to the point where neither Bakabella nor [=UltraMantis Black=] wanted him for their teams. Bakabella took to enforcing it by directly sabotaging Oleg's matches with the Horde, until King of Trios 2015.
1365* OffWithHisHead: His finisher, a forearm clothesline, is called this, and he used it to behead Dragon Dragon.
1366* RivalsTeamUp: Decided to team up with his rival, the Proletariat Boar of Moldova, forming the Beast Warriors.
1367* [[HeelFaceTurn Rudo Tecnico Turn]]: Finally had enough of Sidney Bakabella during King of Trios 2015 and ended his association with the Wrecking Crew via Off With His Head.
1368* TokenEvilTeammate: As a member of The Arcane Horde in the Challenge of the Immortals series, until King of Trios 2015.
1369* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Raw onions.
1370
1371!!!Prakash Sabar
1372* PutOnABus: Announced post-Season Sixteen that his ban from Pakistan had been lifted, allowing him to return.
1373* StealthPun: Sabar is originally from Pakistan, but he was banned from there for an undisclosed reason and immigrated over to Georgia, hence why he is with The Soviet Bloc Party. And with how much of a resemblance he bears to [[Wrestling/SeanWaltman X-Pac]], Sabar is literally an Ex-Pak!
1374* [[{{Expy}} X-Py]]: Looks and acts like X-Pac. Waltman himself, who's done guest commentary for CHIKARA here and there, can't help but laugh and indirectly allude to this whenever he sees Sabar.
1375
1376!!![[Wrestling/KimberLee Princess Kimberlee]]
1377
1378!!!The Proletariat Boar Of Moldova
1379* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Final appearance was the 2018 Cibernetico, was removed from the roster in early 2019 with no storyline to explain it.
1380* {{Dirty Communist|s}}: Is said to be one.
1381* EvilCounterpart: To The Estonian Thunderfrog.
1382* {{Expy}}: Of Rhyno, down to the red and black short legged singlet attire and the finishing move being a spear. To drive it in, during his short tenure at the Commentation Station Joey Styles would shout "BOAR! BOAR! BOAR!" when the Boar delivers his spear the exact same way he used to shout "GORE! GORE! GORE!" about Rhyno's.
1383** The Bloc Party were based on Wrestling/{{DGenerationX}}, with the Boar being the equivalent to Wrestling/RoadDogg as the "Road Hogg."
1384* ForeignWrestlingHeel: When The Bloc Party were a team as part of The United Nations with Juan Francisco de Coronado.
1385* FullBoarAction: To be fair, he'd hardly be intimidating without the tusks.
1386* HeelFaceTurn: As of 2018, he's been relisted as a Tecnico.
1387* PigMan: A guy in a boar mask, he even had a tail, until Ryan Galeone cut it off during the CHIKARA-Beyond Wrestling Torneo Cibernetico match at ''Cibernetico: 7-Man Army.''
1388* RedBaron: "Pig Daddy Cool," a parody of [[Wrestling/KevinNash Diesel]]'s "Big Daddy Cool."
1389* RivalsTeamUp: Decided to team up with his rival, Oleg the Usurper, forming the Beast Warriors.
1390* SoleSurvivor: He was the last of the wave of Eastern European characters that showed up during the Wrestling Is era.
1391* VillainousFriendship: With Juan Francisco de Coronado, at least until the United Nations broke up.
1392
1393!!!Qefka the Quiet
1394* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: [[{{Pun}} Quietly]] removed from the roster in November 2014.
1395** RealLifeWritesThePlot: Qefka soon indicated on [[https://twitter.com/qefkathequiet his Twitter]] that he had problems with immigration, which led to his removal.
1396* EnemyMime: His gimmick.
1397* EveryoneHatesMimes: The fans at ''You Only Live Twice'' and Bryce Remsburg on commentary sure did. Received this reaction during several other matches as well.
1398* PowerTrio: The Odditorium, along with Oliver Grimsley and led by Sinn Bodhi. They were in turn one of the sub-stables of The Flood.
1399
1400!!!Ashley Remington
1401* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Due to the relative success of his primary identity Dalton Castle alter ego elsewhere, Remington's appearances gradually tapered off until he vanished completely after the Challenge of the Immortals finished. He was finally removed from the roster in 2017.
1402* EarlyBirdCameo: Made a few appearances for the Wrestling Is promotions as Dalton Castle.
1403* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Bryce Remsburg was particularly smitten with him.
1404* IdleRich: Seemed to spend his time yachting, throwing parties, and occasionally wrestling.
1405* NiceGuy: He could give Jervis Cottonbelly a run for his money here. Unfailingly polite and courteous, as well.
1406** Described as having held a door open for everyone to enter the Palmer Center before ''You Only Live Twice'' for four hours straight.
1407** Gave his opponents fruit baskets after defeating them.
1408*** Charmed Kodama by giving him a potted plant, which backfired on him when Kodama presented him with a present of his own...which prompted an in-universe expression of pure {{Squick}}.
1409** Invited everyone to yacht parties after the shows.
1410** When locking up during a match, he immediately broke a hold when a referee started to count and informed them, "I break at one, my good man."
1411** Let Archibald Peck have a second chance at his finisher after the venue's low ceiling foiled Archie's first attempt. Despite Peck falling short of the mark with a flying headbutt, Remington then moved closer and draped Archie's arm over himself for a two count.
1412* RedBaron: "Smooth Sailin'".
1413* WrestlingFamily: Darkness Crabtree's nephew, as revealed in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDQ9YwJeosc this video]].
1414
1415!!!Hype Rockwell
1416* {{Expy}}: He was the Wrestling/KokoBWare of N_R_G to Race Jaxon's Owen Hart, since their team was based on High Energy, Owen and Koko's team in 1992-1993 WWE.
1417* FaceHeelTurn: After teasing his distaste for occasional partners Oleg the Usurper and the Proletariat Boar of Moldova, he turned rudo on Oleg after having to team with him for the 2018 La Loteria Letal.
1418* IronicName: Hype was not only the less excitable member of N_R_G, but was for a long time not particularly hyped about ''anything'' and was even seen falling asleep during matches. This changed after he started drinking [[ProductPlacement Electric Monkey]] energy drink.
1419* PutOnABus: Turned on by Race Jaxon in season 17 after a lengthy period of discord. TheBusCameBack midway through the following season.

1421
1422[[folder:People Who First Wrestled In 2015]]
1423
1424!!!Argus
1425* AbortedArc: Argus "rescuing" Kevin Condron from Snowflake. Built up at the tail end of 2015, seemed to culminate with Argus pinning Snowflake at the season finale, with Snowflake becoming fascinated with him as a result...then completely dropped, as Argus went on to do not much of anything before disappearing and Snowflake/Condron disappeared 'til May 2016. See the entry under Condron below for further explanation.
1426* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Vanished completely without explanation after King of Trios 2016, eventually removed from the roster in May 2017.
1427* EyeAmWatchingYou: Used at least part of this gesture, plus he substituted "eye" for I on Twitter.
1428* RedBaron: "The Gekko-Roman Wrestler"
1429* ThirdPersonPerson: Always referred to himself on [[https://twitter.com/CatchArgus Twitter]] as "this one".
1430* TheVoiceless / TheSpeechless: One of the two. He didn't talk in promos.
1431** SuddenlyVoiced: Cut his first promo at Colony Collapse.
1432
1433!!!Cajun Crawdad
1434* TheBusCameBack: Returned from the injury in December 2016.
1435* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Seemingly vanished completely without explanation before Season 16 began. It was eventually revealed on twitter that [[[https://twitter.com/Cajun_Crawdad/status/688001989553315840 he suffered a leg injury]].
1436* [[FishPeople Crab People]]: Much like his partner Hermit Crab.
1437* DefeatMeansFriendship: Or at least subservience, as he bent the knee for Oceanea after she and Merlok defeated him and Hermit Crab.
1438* GameBreakingInjury: Tore his ACL shortly after debuting.
1439%%* RaginCajun
1440
1441!!!Kevin Condron (formerly Kid Cyclone, Jervis Cottonbelly/Gentleman Jervis, and Snowflake)
1442* AbortedArc: Argus "rescuing" Condron from Snowflake. Built up at the tail end of 2015, seemed to culminate with Argus pinning Snowflake at the season finale, with Snowflake becoming fascinated with him as a result... then completely dropped, as Argus went on to do not much of anything before disappearing and Snowflake/Condron disappeared 'til May 2016.
1443** At the time, Condron implied on Twitter that Executive Meddling had taken place, with the storyline being taken out of his control and sent in a different direction than he'd wanted and planned. He stated it outright in a rant on Twitter after he left CHIKARA.
1444* AgentPeacock: Snowflake. Campy as all getout, but fully capable of delivering a beatdown, which he demonstrated against Argus in his "debut" match.
1445* ArchEnemy: Formerly 17, Deucalion, and Eddie Kingston. While Condron currently has it in for much of the CHIKARA roster, Mike Quackenbush is the likeliest to be this for him.
1446* DoNotTauntCthulhu: While he himself escaped harm, his actions resulted in his shaming and cost his two best friends their careers.
1447* EarlyBirdCameo: Attended the November 2nd rally with Icarus before his official introduction in the Ashes video "Sweat Shop" later in the month.
1448** Two years before showing up in CHIKARA, he made an appearance in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wqx92Jh7cg this Gentleman's Club video]].
1449* EmbarrassingNickname: "Snowflake," assigned to him by other Wrestle Factory trainees.
1450* FallenHero: The trauma of what happened to his friends and how EasilyForgiven Eddie Kingston was caused him to snap, renounce his identity and become a dangerous new force in the post-Deucalion landscape of CHIKARA.
1451** HeWhoFightsMonsters: Broke once again during King of Trios 2015 when he delivered the chokebreaker to Orbit Adventure Ant, becoming what he originally despised. This caused him to fully give in to Snowflake.
1452* FightingFromTheInside: Attempted as part of the AbortedArc mentioned above.
1453* HeroicWannabe: Fashioned himself as the next Icarus to lead CHIKARA to victory and to end Deucalion himself. It did not go too well.
1454* HoYay: In-universe, petitioned for a partner for "meaningless homoeroticism" on Twitter. He emphasized that since it would be meaningless ''and'' it would be for the benefit of fangirls, it would actually be super-hetero.
1455* HotBlooded: Showed the most on his [[http://www.twitter.com/kondron Twitter account]].
1456* MeaningfulRename: Has thrown down his Kid Cyclone identity and is now known as Kevin Condron.
1457* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Taunting Missile Assault Man about his past sins proved to be Snowflake's undoing, as the beating he received ceased the SplitPersonalityTakeover and led to Condron's return.
1458* PutOnABus: According to Condron, Snowflake "went back to Hell" after he was beat down by Missile Assault Man. Condron himself disappeared (almost certainly for good, considering his anti-Quackenbush remarks on Twitter) at the same time, as well.
1459* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Attempted to embark upon one at ''You Only Live Twice'' as he led Equinox III and Create-A-Wrestler II in attacking 17 for what was done to Private Eye Jr., only for Hallowicked to intervene.
1460** Attempted to go on one against Deucalion for all the deaths he caused. It resulted in the demise of Create-A-Wrestler II and Equinox III.
1461** Attempted to go on one agained Eddie Kingston for his part in Create-A-Wrestler II and Equinox III's deaths. This one was successful, as he cost Kingston his three points and his shot at regaining the Grand Championship.
1462* ShoutOut: His former mask and name came from the children's book ''[[http://www.amazon.com/Cyclone-Fights-Stories-Enfrenta-Historias/dp/1558855998/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391520960&sr=8-1 Kid Cyclone Fights the Devil and Other Stories]]''.
1463** Wears golden wings on his shoes, originally as a tribute to his mentor and inspiration, Icarus.
1464* SplitPersonality: Snowflake, who lurked in some form since July and made himself known after the incident described in HeWhoFightsMonsters above. Speaks on social media in curly braces.
1465** Tweets suggest that Kid Cyclone is (or was) one as well.
1466** SplitPersonalityTakeover: Snowflake made his official CHIKARA "debut" in October of 2015.
1467
1468!!!Hermit Crab
1469%%* [[FishPeople Crab People]]
1470* DefeatMeansFriendship: Or at least subservience, as he bent the knee for Oceanea after she and Merlok defeated him and Cajun Crawdad.
1471* GiantEnemyCrab: To his opponents anyway.
1472* ItsAllAboutMe: Quite possibly the most self-centered wrestler on the active roster (even rivaling post-FaceHeelTurn Race Jaxon), which is quite a feat.
1473* MundaneMadeAwesome: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu3QBgDumWA He walks from the depths!]]
1474%%* ThirdPersonPerson
1475
1476!!![[Wrestling/BritishStrongStyle Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven and Tyler Bate)]]
1477
1478!!!Wani
1479* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Just like the man he won the Young Lions Cup from, Space Monkey, he vanished as soon as he lost it never to be seen again. He was finally removed from the active roster in 2018.
1480* DiabolusExNihilo: CHIKARA simply announced that he would be on Juan Francisco de Coronado's team for the Torneo Cibernetico at ''Top Banana'', and never came up with a character or backstory for him.
1481* MeaningfulName: His name referred to a Dragon or Sea Monster from Japanese Mythology though it could also be translated as crocodile.
1482* PunnyName: His tag team with Juan Francisco de Coronado was called Juan y Wani. For those unfamiliar with the Spanish language, their 'y' is pronounced 'ee' - making the team's name pronounced "Wahnee-Wahnee".
1483* VillainousFriendship: With Juan Francisco de Coronado, until his departure.

1487
1488!!!Abominus Rex
1489* {{Expy}}: Of The Machines gimmick from the 80's WWF.
1490* TheGiant: Easily one of the largest men to ever compete in CHIKARA. He debuted in the Infinite Gauntlet and it took ''ten people'' to eliminate him.
1491* OldShame: In-universe, he's Sidney Bakabella's.
1492* PutOnABus: After failing to appear for a scheduled match during No One's First, And You're Next. Confirmed by Sidney Bakabella on Twitter. He never returned.
1493* StoutStrength: Has a notable paunch, but is very strong.
1494
1495!!!Officer Warren Barksdale
1496* TagTeam: The Force, with Officer Bruno Meloni.
1497* WrestlingDoesntPay: A wrestling police officer.
1498
1499!!![[Wrestling/{{Hornswoggle}} The Big Deal]]
1500
1501!!!The Closers (Rick Roland and Sloan Caprice, FKA Big Deal Security)
1502* LightningBruiser: Both men are pretty quick for their size.
1503* MusclesAreMeaningful: Their gimmick primarily revolves around how strong and jacked they are - particularly the smaller but leaner Caprice.
1504* VillainousFriendship: With Juan Francisco de Coronado.
1505
1506!!!Cornelius Crummels and Sonny Defarge
1507* {{Con M|an}}en: Regardless of how many times they may insist they're legitimate businessmen.
1508* FinishingMove: Literature/GreatExpectations.
1509* OutOfCharacterMoment: During their extremely short turn as tecnicos, they used hand sanitizer.
1510* ThePigPen: Absolutely filthy.
1511* ShoutOut: Their whole aesthetic and finisher name, to Creator/CharlesDickens.
1512
1513!!!Delmi Exo
1514* HumanAliens: The only thing not entirely human about her was her odd hairstyle.
1515* PutOnABus: Disappeared during Season 18, implied to be as a result of Ashley Vox giving in to Obariyon's darker path.
1516* RedBaron: The [[{{Pun}} Galaxy Delmigod]]
1517* SiblingTeam: Team Sea Stars with Ashley Vox, though their sibling relation was not acknowledged by CHIKARA.
1518

1520* CatchPhrase: "We're going to take you for a ride!"
1521%%* LargeHam
1522* WrestlingDoesntPay: Wrestling cyclists.
1523
1524!!!Jeremy Leary
1525* CombatHaircomb: Uses a switchblade comb like brass knuckles.
1526* EnemyMine: Teamed up with Lucas Calhoun to take on the Proteus Wheel.
1527* EvilCounterpart: To Lucas Calhoun.
1528* GoodHairEvilHair: Slicked back hair to match his terrible attitude.
1529* HiddenDepths: Seemingly only obsessed with hair, specifically Lucas Calhoun's hair, when he made his full-time debut, but later dropped the bombshell that he was affiliated with the Proteus Wheel (the same facility that was named in Axel Ford's journal entries, which has been linked to ''Deucalion'' of all people). He was eventually revealed to have been a Volgar, making him related to Calhoun (and another Volgar, Brett Michael David, both Calluxes, and Frantik) through it as well.
1530* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He might've teamed with a face to take on a heel stable, but his reasons were self serving.
1531* PutOnABus: Yet another wrestler who disappeared abruptly due to backstage issues with Quack.
1532
1533!!!Oceanea (formerly Ashley Vox)
1534* BerserkButton: Mentioned on commentary that Oceanea goes berserk if her former identity is mentioned around her.
1535* BreakTheCutie: Merlok spent all of 2017 trying everything he could to break Ashley Vox's sunny disposition. [[GoneHorriblyRight He succeeded]].
1536* FaceHeelTurn: Ashley either absorbed or was gifted Obariyon's "dark power" shortly before he left Chikara. The power transformed her into Oceanea. After making Merlok tap out, she drafted him into her service, and later conscripted Cajun Crawdad and Hermit Crab.
1537* FromNobodyToNightmare: Debuted with little fanfare in a Young Lions Cup qualifier. Two years later, she's become one of the most dangerous wrestlers on the roster with an army at her beck and call.
1538* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: On the receiving end of this from the rest of the Creatures of the Deep, as they had gotten sick of her abuse.
1539* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Ashley Vox had no obvious scales, but supposedly needed to be in contact with water at least once every two hours.
1540* PowerStable: The Creatures of the Deep.
1541* PutOnABus: Kicked out of her own stable during King of Trios 2019 and subsequently disappeared, with her departure confirmed after Season 20 finished.
1542* RedBaron: Ashley Vox was "[[SirensAreMermaids Poseidon's Siren]]". Oceanea's is "The Queen of the Seven Seas."
1543* SiblingTeam: Team Sea Stars with Delmi Exo, though their sibling relation was not acknowledged by CHIKARA.
1544* TookALevelInBadass: Ashley's transformation into Oceanea came with an increase in power great enough that she made Merlok '''tap out'''.
1545
1546!!!Rock Lobster
1547* [[FishPeople Crab People]]: Much like partner Hermit Crab.
1548* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Was injured and never returned. Quietly removed from the roster page in November 2017.
1549* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Cajun Crawdad, right down to being injury-prone as well.
1550
1551!!!Wrestling/SoloDarling
1552
1553!!!Space Monkey
1554* BananaPeel: Tends to eat bananas on his way to the ring and be careless of where he leaves the peels. Rudos have slipped on them. It's a serious hazard.
1555* CommutingOnABus: Dropped the Young Lions Cup on his first defense (against Wani) and didn't show up in CHIKARA again until October 2017.
1556* TheUnintelligible: Some animal characters in CHIKARA can cut understandable promos. He couldn't.
1557
1558!!!Chuck Taylor TM
1559* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Outright vanished during 2017, deleting his Twitter and eventually being moved to alumni. Later showed up in Beyond Wrestling for a spell.
1560* CouchGag: Sings a different soul song as his entrance theme every show. [[DreadfulMusician Badly]].
1561* DisproportionateRetribution: Was treated quite badly and pretty much extorted by Taylor in the Gentleman's Club video linked below. Retaliated by showing up several years later and taking advantage of Taylor's "retirement" to swipe his name and character out from under him.
1562* EarlyBirdCameo: Appeared in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wqx92Jh7cg this Gentleman's Club video]] several years before showing up in CHIKARA.
1563* YouLookFamiliar: In-universe. Claimed to be Ring of Honor Manager Stokely Hathaway's identical cousin.

1565
1566[[folder:People Who First Wrestled In 2017]]
1567
1568!!!Amasis II
1569* AbortedArc: He and Whisper!Ophidian having won three points towards a challenge for the [=CdP=] before 17!Ophidian forced him out.
1570* WeHardlyKnewYe: Was taken out by the real Ophidian, in the guise of 17, within two months of debuting.
1571
1572!!!Travis Huckabee (formerly Travis Lastnameunnecessary)
1573* BerserkButton: Originally Rory Gulak, who eventually caused him to cross the RageBreakingPoint into a FaceHeelTurn. Post-turn, his ex-partner Solo Darling.
1574* EasilyDistractedReferee: Much like Jon Barber below, Travis' stint as a referee had a lot of this, much to the displeasure of fans.
1575* RedBaron: "The Golden Grappler"
1576* ReplacementGoldfish: After turning rudo and falling under Icarus' tutelage, Travis has more and more grown to resemble Gran Akuma, to the point of shaving his head bald.
1577
1578!!!Officer Bruno Meloni
1579* PutOnABus: After a stint lasting less than a year he retired, saying that Barksdale and the Force don't need him anymore.
1580* TheStoic: A straight-laced, by-the-book police officer in contrast to the more fun-loving Barksdale.
1581* TagTeam: The Force, with Officer Warren Barksdale.
1582* WrestlingDoesntPay: A wrestling police officer.
1583
1584!!!Merlok
1585* BloodKnight: Doesn't actually care about the point system and will often end up having his matches thrown out or end in a double count-out because he only cares about inflicting punishment.
1586* DefeatMeansFriendship: Or at least subservience, judging by the way he treated Oceanea after she tapped him out.
1587* FishPeople: Looks a hell of a lot like a pirahna.
1588* ShoutOut: Possibly intended to be a [[http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Murloc Murloc]].
1589
1590!!!The Whisper (formerly Ophidian II)
1591* AbortedArc: He and Amasis II having won three points towards a challenge for the [=Cdp=] before 17!Ophidian forced Amasis II out.
1592* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Presented himself as being this in comparison to the original Ophidian.
1593* BadBoss: Abandoned Troll to the [[https://twitter.com/ProteusWheel/status/983495368716574720 tender mercies]] of the Proteus Wheel, instructing them to fix him.
1594* ComplexityAddiction[=/=]AwesomeButImpractical: His FinishingMove The Aftermath is a one-armed [[Wrestling/GregoryHelms Vertebreaker]] setup into a face first over the back slam.
1595* TheCorrupter: To Princess Kimberlee, as his influence (and possible {{Blackmail}}) of her led her to display a harder edge during Season 17.
1596* TheDragon: In the post-credits scene of the Season 19 finale, he revealed to Princess [=KimberLee=] that he was serving someone. He was later revealed to be part of the Crucible.
1597* EnemyMine: Joined Ophidian as part of the Crucible.
1598* GreenEyedMonster: Towards Princess Kimberlee as she became Ophidian's favored disciple and shunted him further out of the limelight.
1599* KillerYoYo: His weapon of choice. Utilized a yo-yo GroinAttack to win his way into the YLC finals at National Pro Wrestling Day '17.
1600* KnowledgeBroker: Seemed to have some kind of dirt on everyone, though for the most part it was unknown where he received it from.
1601* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: As he inherited Snow Troll and Axel Ford's journal, he looked to be Kevin Condron's replacement. After swiping Ophidian's mask, he became his replacement as well, to the point of bringing in a fake Amasis.
1602
1603!!!Xyberhawx 2000 (Razerhawk, Nytehawk, Danjerhawk, Sylverhawk)
1604* AdvancedTech2000: Xyberhawx '''2000'''.
1605* BerserkButton: Abusive parents for Razerhawk
1606* CatchPhrase: "Caw Caw"
1607* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Sylverhawk wa
1608s silver, Razerhawk is gold, Nytehawk is navy blue, and Danjerhawk is crimson.
1609* EarlyBirdCameo: Nytehawk was played by Boomer Hatfield prior to him getting said gimmick as Dashers son.
1610* FishOutOfTemporalWater: They're a bit of a parody of the "futuristic" tag teams from the early 90s like Tecno Team 2000 and The New Breed. Thing is, they hail from the ''early 2000s''. One of them still uses a Myspace, and another asked in a blog why he couldn't find his Geocities page.
1611* IAmSpartacus: The identities of Sylver and Nite Hawk were this. Due to the intense wall of secrecy surrounding masked identities at Chikara, combined with the two falling off the face of the Earth, it was wildly wondered who they were. While Wheeler YUTA eventually came forward as Sylverhawk, Nytehawk's identity remained a mystery for years. To make issues worse, the last training class at Chikara's Wrestling Factory (which birthed most of the roster in the company's final days and which the Hawks came up from) would troll fans by claiming to be Nytehawk with Max Zero, Hermit Crab, Thief Ant, and Boomer Hatfield all jokingly claiming to be Nytehawk. It would not be until early in 2022 that the mystery was resolved at last when Boomer Hatfield came forward and admitted to be Nytehawk.
1612** Razerhawk's [[https://razerhawk2000.com/ website]] even has "This page is best viewed with Netscape Now" and "Made With [=MacIntosh=]" logos on it, much like Geocities pages from the early days of the Web.
1613* {{Otaku}}: Razerhawk has an encyclopedic knowledge of anime, or at least anime released before 2001.
1614* PartsUnknown: "[=Xyberspace=]"
1615* PutOnABus: Sylverhawk, after being absolutely brutalized by Oceanea and Merlok, was "returned to the Xyberton for repairs". The behind-the-scenes reason is that the guy who played him was gaining popularity under his unmasked gimmick of Wheeler YUTA and wanted to focus on that. He was promptly replaced by Danjerhawk.
1616* TheQuietOne: Nytehawk, due to the fact that the guy in the mask was being groomed for bigger things as Dasher Hatfield's son. .
1617* XtremeKoolLetterz: Haw'''x''', '''X'''ybertron, along with ''sylver, razer, nyte, and danjer''.

1621
1622!!!Blanche Babish
1623* AlliterativeName: '''B'''lanche '''B'''abish.
1624* BubblegumPopping: Her image on the CHIKARA roster page is of her blowing a bubblegum bubble.
1625* FiftiesHair: Sports a rockabilly bouffant .
1626* {{Expy}}: Of [[Wrestling/KaraDrew former WWE Diva Cherry]]. She is billed from "[[WrongSideOfTheTracks The Wrong Side of the Tracks]]," while [[Wrestling/DeuceNDomino Deuce, Domino]] and Cherry were from "The Other Side of the Tracks." During her match with El Hijo del Ice Cream at ''Hour of Power 14'', Bryce and Sidney Bakabella made jokes about playing a game of "Deuces and Dominos" and the cherry on top of Hijo's mask.
1627* FinishingMove: A Cross-Armbreaker variation called the Soda Jerk.
1628* FieryRedhead: As a face.
1629* GoodIsNotNice: Blanche Babish a ''[[{{Face}} tecnica]]'', but doesn't particularly show much respect to her opponents regardless of alignment.
1630
1631!!!B.M.D. (Brett Michael David)
1632* PutOnABus: Bailed out on Lucas Calhoun and Jeremy Leary after he received a first-hand lesson about how dangerous the Proteus Wheel truly are.
1633
1634!!!Tony Deppen
1635%%* LargeHam
1636* ReplacementGoldfish: Under Icarus' tutelage he seems to be becoming more and more like Chuck Taylor at his worst.
1637
1638!!!Axel Ford
1639* DarkAndTroubledPast: Probably. The things Missile Assault Man was said to have done can more than likely be attributed to him instead, as MAM received Ford's memories.
1640* IdentityImpersonator: On the receiving end, courtesy of Professor Nicodemus and Missile Assault Man, the latter brainwashed by the former into actually believing he was Axel Ford.
1641* MindRape: His journal indicated that he was subjected to quite a bit of this courtesy of Deucalion.
1642* PutOnABus: Having recovered his journal from Missile Assault Man and gotten his revenge against the Proteus Wheel for what they did to him, he quietly exited CHIKARA at the end of 2018.
1643
1644!!!Penelope Ford
1645* TheMuse: Attracted the attention/obsession of BLANK.
1646* PutOnABus: Disappeared from Chikara abruptly when she signed with All Elite Wrestling.
1647* RedBaron: "The Bad Girl"
1648
1649!!!Green Ant II
1650* RedBaron: Inherited "The Resilient Rookie" from his predecessor.
1651* ReplacementGoldfish: For Silver Ant (the original Green Ant).
1652
1653!!!Boomer Hatfield
1654* EarlyBirdCameo: Appeared regularly in the ''Supper with the Hatfields'' webseries in 2012/13, and then would show up working ring crew throughout 2018 prior to his in-ring debut.
1655* LegacyCharacter: To Dasher Hatfield.
1656* TheUnfavorite: Treated this way by his father. Dasher would even deliberately skip out before Boomer's matches by scheduling title defenses earlier so that he could leave early to "spend time with his kids".
1657* UnrelatedBrothers: Post-CHIKARA, he quickly acknowledged that he and Dasher aren't really related by blood.
1658* WrestlingFamily: In CHIKARA, with Dasher Hatfield and Molly [=McCoy=].
1659
1660!!!The Proteus Wheel (Volgar II, Callux the Castigator, and Frantik)
1661* CharacterTics: Frantik is constantly twitching.
1662* FatBastard: Callux especially, although fans have noted that for athletes who supposedly represent the cutting edge of science, the lot of them are pasty and soft around the edges.
1663* ReplacementGoldfish: Volgar II (who is at least the 80th iteration of the Volgar experiment) and Callux the Castigator for the originals, probably Frantik as well due to how the Proteus Wheel operates, although there had not been a previous character with that name.
1664* TheScapegoat: Frantik, who has been blamed for several losses by Callux.
1665* TheStoic: Where Frantik is a loud, hyperactive nutcase and Callux is prone to dramatic shouting, Volgar is borderline emotionless and doesn't speak much.
1666* SurroundedByIdiots: Volgar, who considers both Callux and Frantik idiots.
1667* TookALevelInBadass: Professor Nicodemus genetically modified them sometime before their trios match against Lucas Calhoun, Jeremy Leary, and BMD, allowing them to defeat the ex-Volgars quite handily.
1668* WrestlingMonster: Three of them. On commentary, Quack has called them "the monstrous Series/MisfitsOfScience."
1669
1670!!!Still Life With Apricots And Pears & Ursa Minor In The Night Sky
1671* AbusiveParents: For a given value of parents, given that they're, well... art. That being said, BLANK is not at all kind to his creations.
1672* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Still Life has red on their mask, Ursa Minor had blue on his. After coming out as transgender, Still Life added some rainbow design, but still primarily used red.
1673* FinishingMove: Art School, Art/VenusDeMilo.
1674* OverlyLongName: Usually just referred to as Still Life and Ursa Minor. Their match with The Proletariat Boar Of Moldova at ''Hour of Power 14'' was described as "the most multisyllabic match in CHIKARA history." After Chikara's closure, Still Life rebranded to the much simpler "Edith Surreal".
1675* PurpleIsPowerful: Outside CHIKARA, they often wear purple gear.
1676%%* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: This is The Nouveau Aesthetic's gimmick, InUniverse.
1677* UrExample: Still Life began identifying as non-binary during their CHIKARA run, preferring they/them pronouns and, as the CHIKARA Young Lions Cup Champion, was the first openly non-binary champion in wrestling history. That being said in late 2020 they came out as UsefulNotes/{{transgender}}, and now she wrestles as Edith Surreal.
1678* YouHaveFailedMe: Ursa Minor was less successful than Still Life; eventually BLANK got fed up and destroyed him.
1679
1680!!!Thief Ant
1681* DittoFighter: Quickly became known for stealing his opponents' moves and finishers, once leading to the commentators comparing him to [[Wrestling/BarryDarsow Repo Man]].
1682* TattooedCrook: His name is ''Thief'' Ant and his arms are covered in tattoos.
1683[[/folder]]
1684
1685[[folder:People Who First Wrestled In 2019]]
1686
1687!!!Der Wildebeest
1688* ReplacementGoldfish: Jakob Hammermeier brought him in as another vaguely Northern European monster in the vein of Tursas and Nøkken.
1689
1690!!!The Crucible (Matt Makowski, Tunku Amir, Evan Matthew Demorest, Devantes, Frey Nassar)
1691* BloodKnight: Even by the standards of a group of guys in a secret fight club, Devantes seems extreme.
1692-->"Listen, if I don't fight, I can't sleep..."
1693* EarlyBirdCameo: Amir, Demorest, and Nassar previously appeared as the masked [[{{Jobber}} enhancement talent]] Armwringer Amir, Enzuigiri Evan, and Fireman's Carry Frey, while Makowski initially debuted in the 2019 Infinite Gauntlet as Snapmare Matt. Their unmasked identities, as well as Devantes, were introduced in the "Heralds & Harbingers" series of videos.
1694* RedBaron: Matt Makowski's nickname in his MMA fights was "Weapon X", which got a shoutout in Heralds & Harbingers.
1695* SpoiledBrat: Frey Nassar is described by others as having a rich, important father and just being in The Crucible for kicks, and comes off as a loudmouth in his appearances in Heralds & Harbingers.
1696* UnPerson: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSOelSmn3ik video]] officially introducing the Crucible made no mention of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFZMOsF-9_FdHerPEYshGiw Xavier Faraday]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoSv9YABV8rdajzS3_Ep4WQ Joey Ibanez (Jawbreaker Josue)]], or Josh Wells, who were also part of the Crucible at one point. As each had a hand in the Crucible being revealed to the world (Faraday through his vlogs, Ibanez through leaking the footage, and Wells through contacting Green Ant and getting them kicked out of the Wrestle Factory), their absence can be explained as this. All three soon returned to oppose what they were once part of.
1697
1698!!!Xavier Faraday
1699* TheStoolPigeon: Pure Whistleblower. His vlogs as [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFZMOsF-9_FdHerPEYshGiw UnknownCarbon]] helped bring the Crucible to light.
1700
1701!!!Josue Ibanez
1702* EarlyBirdCameo: Like his former Crucible partners, he competed under a mask (as Jawbreaker Josue) and had his unmasked identity introduced as part of Heralds & Harbingers.
1703* NiceGuy: In the Heralds and Harbingers series, he's the only member of The Crucible who's been there a long time who isn't a jerk or a BloodKnight. The others tend to look down on him for it.
1704* TheStoolPigeon: Whistleblower. Was the one who leaked the [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoSv9YABV8rdajzS3_Ep4WQ Crucible footage]] online.
1705
1706!!!Preston Blathers/Joshua Wells
1707* ItBeganWithATwistOfFate: In his pre-Young Lions' Cup promo, he reminisced about the time he was waiting backstage before the previous year's tournament as Ring Announced where a referee jokingly referred to him as the "17th" Young Lion[[note]]The Tournament only takes 16 entrants.[[/note]], and it struck such a bitter chord with him that it spurred him to drop the Preston Blathers name and take up wrestling himself so that he could not only become the ''actual'' 17th young lion, but win it all.
1708* PutOnABus: Relinquished the ring announcer role in January 2019, announcing that he would train to wrestle instead. TheBusCameBack later in the year, as he became part of the Crucible storyline, and he officially made his wrestling debut during King of Trios 2019.
1709* ReplacementGoldfish: For Vlad Radinov.
1710* SitcomArchNemesis: Scott Holladay, though they mostly keep it to Twitter.
1711* StealthPun: A ring announcer with the last name of Blathers (to talk nonsensically).
1712* TheStoolPigeon: Whistleblower mixed with Concerned (for his newfound acquaintances) and Innocent (in disbelief over what people he knew previously were doing). He was the one who revealed the Crucible's existence via text, resulting in them getting busted and kicked out of the Wrestle Factory.
1713
1714!!!Molly [=McCoy=]
1715* ClashingCousins: She tells Boomer Hatfield that she'll never forgive him after he beats Dasher and costs him his mask.
1716* ShoutOut: Her look is partially inspired by former Dasher's Dugout member Heidi Lovelace.

1723* AudienceSurrogate: In the first episode of Action Arcade, as her first day at the Wrestle Factory is used to explain the various quirks of CHIKARA to new viewers.
1724* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's an absolute killer in the ring, if her Young Lions Cup appearance is any indication.
1725
1726!!!The Red Queen (formerly Lady Frost) and One-Eyed Jack
1727* CoolMask: One-Eyed Jack's one-eyed Jack of Hearts-style mask, which is also pretty creepy.
1728* EarlyBirdCameo: As Lady Frost, the Red Queen made several appearances in 2019.
1729* PlayingCardMotifs: The Queen and Jack of Hearts, reflected in their attire and promos.
1730* PungeonMaster: Their promos are chock-full of card game puns.
1731
1732!!!The Spoiler
1733* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk
1734* ShoutOut: Uses the signature moves of the original Spoiler, Don Jardine.
1735

1748* DiscoDan: Seems to be stuck in the 80s.
1749* EvenEvilHasStandards: After Jaka won the [[https://www.cagematch.net//?id=5&nr=1840 [=WiF!=] Banana Title]], that is, a title that was represented by [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight an actual banana]], he ''ate'' the banana, which Bakabella found shocking.
1750* FishOutOfTemporalWater: He seems to be stuck in the early 90s. At ''Under The Hood'', he called out Wrestling/{{Herb Abrams|UWF}}. Herb's promotion closed in 1996 and Herb is dead. Since then he's made references to working with [[Wrestling/VonErichFamily Fritz Von Erich]], [[Wrestling/EdFarhat The Sheik]], and frequently says he's doing the bidding of Toots Mondt. The guy's all over the place.
1751** At ''Just Shadows in the Fog'', which was held in Tampa, FL on March 8, 2013, before the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-t.html CHIKARA Campeonatos de Parejas]] match between 3.0 and the Devastation Corporation, he cut a promo where he said that he would have brought Wrestling/TheOneManGang with him, but Wrestling/SirOliverHumperdink prevented that and he proceeded to verbally run down Humperdink. Humperdink, real name John Sutton, who did in fact manage the One Man Gang for a time in the old Florida territory in the 1980s, passed away on March 20, 2011.
1752* HiredGuns: Like his former charges the Devastation Corporation, he will work for whoever pays him.
1753* KickedUpstairs: Appointed as Director of Fun in April 2019.
1754* KilledOffForReal: Courtesy of an OffWithHisHead from his former charge Oleg The Usurper...or so was thought.
1755* LargeHam: He's a wrestling manager, it comes with the territory.
1756* MouthOfSauron: While the Wrecking Crew members could talk, they generally chose not to most of the time.
1757* NotQuiteDead: Resurfaced at the end of January 2016, claiming that the hair was just ripped off his head.
1758* OldShame: In-universe, does not want to talk about the very short run of Abominus Rex.
1759* PowerStable: The Wrecking Crew (The Devastation Corporation, Jaka and Oleg the Usurper), which was also part of [[MatryoshkaObject The Flood]], led by Deucalion.
1760* RuleOfFunny: Along with his FishOutOfTemporalWater act, the contract he held over Oleg The Usurper was a piece of paper that featured the words "PRO RASSLIN' CONTRACT".
1761* SinisterShades: They actually protected him from Ophidian's hypnosis.
1762* TwoDecadesBehind: At ''least.''
1763
1764!!!Jonathan Barber
1765* EasilyDistractedReferee: Which tends to get him heavily booed by fans.
1766* IronicNickname: Often referred to as "The Sheriff" on commentary, for his supposed ability to lay down the law. In actuality he's the referee most likely to fail to catch a rudo cheating.
1767%%* TheQuietOne
1768
1769!!!Wrestling/ScarlettBordeaux
1770* [[TheHost The Hostess]]: Of CHIKARA's [=YouTube=] series The Throwdown Lowdown, after Sara Del Rey left. This was her only role there, since she was not used as a wrestler.
1771
1772!!!Callux I
1773* AnimalMotifs: He and Volgar (and initially Jimmy Jacobs) wore metal condor masks when they first debuted, since they were working for Condor Security.
1774* EarlyBirdCameo: Appeared during the 11/30/13 scavenger hunt event, along with his now-former partner Lucas Calhoun (then Volgar).
1775* KilledOffForReal: Confirmed deceased in [[http://chikara101.proboards.com/post/176859/thread a post]] on the [=Chikara101=] boards by Kevin Condron.
1776* LegacyCharacter: With the introduction of the Proteus Wheel, which included another Callux. Unlike the Volgars (the current of which has been confirmed to be at least the 80th iteration), it's unknown just how many Calluxes there have been previously to both this one and the current one.
1777* NoNameGiven: Mike Quackenbush revealed his name over a year after he was removed - before the reveal he was known only as Masked Condor Security Guy #2 (Volgar being Masked Condor Security Guy #1).
1778* WeHardlyKnewYe: Destroyed by Eddie Kingston on Jimmy Jacobs' orders before he ever had a chance to wrestle. Years later, it was revealed that he had been a creation of the Proteus Wheel along with Calhoun.
1779
1780!!!Mayzie Caroline
1781* PutOnABus: Quietly phased out after accusations of misconduct became public.

1787** TheBusCameBack: Reappeared without explanation to do commentary in mid-2018.
1788* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Unless you're Vin Gerard.

1794* LegacyCharacter: The second person to use the Create-A-Wrestler gimmick, the first having eventually became Dasher Hatfield.
1795* WeHardlyKnewYe: Only had one wrestling match at Wrestling is Fun before his end.
1796
1797!!!Dr. Cube
1798* [[GreaterScopeVillain Bigger Bad]]: He's a character in Wrestling/KaijuBigBattel, not CHIKARA. However, he's the former holder of the Eye of Tyr.
1799* DeadPersonImpersonation: Heavily suspected to be this upon his joining The Flood, as the original Dr. Cube was assassinated at a Kaiju Big Battel show.
1800** Confirmed at King of Trios 2014. He was Jakob Hammermeier. And he had the Eye.
1801* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Sure, his [=UltraMantis-esque=] theatrics may make him seem goofy, but he and his Posse annihilated Wrestling is Awesome in one fell swoop by taking both the title and event gate. Appeared as part of the Flood from then until King of Trios 2014, when he unmasked and took over the BDK.
1802
1803!!!Equinox III

1819* PunnyName: She's a shark, so it's '''Jaws'''olyn instead of ''Jocelyn''.
1820* StuffedIntoTheFridge: Courtesy of Merlok at ''Hour of Power 7'' who ''literally'' stuffed her into a refrigerator, leading to Mike Quackenbush announcing that he was cutting the feed. She never returned to Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} after that.

1829* ImprobableHairstyle: As shown. Later tamed down.
1830* NonActionGuy: Until Tim Donst pushed him too far, leading to Gavin actually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mfH8njTbuI defeating]] Donst in a Hair vs. Hair match at ''Aniversario: Never Compromise'' with a ''superplex'' after Jakob Hammermeier [=KOed=] Donst.
1831** However, he ''had'' defeated Call-Me-Kevin at ''KBB All Out War'' on August 4th, 2006.

1839
1840!!!Mortimer
1841* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Vanished when The Whisper stole Ophidian's identity, as Whisper claimed he no longer needed him to communicate.
1842** TheBusCameBack: Returned in April 2018 after Whisper gave Troll to the Proteus Wheel, only to disappear again shortly after.
1843* [[{{Invisibility}} Invisible Man]]: Well, he walks like a person and doesn't appear to have a head.
1844* SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: Nobody expected this creepy, headless, umbrella-holding, mannequin-looking thing to show up as part of The Whisper's entourage.
1845
1846!!!Nazmaldun
1847* DemonicPossession: Inhabited [=UltraMantis=] Black, until he was banished by Ophidian at the tail end of Supremacy.
1848* TheManBehindTheMan[=/=]BigBad: The force behind Hallowicked and the Nightmare Warriors, the [=heXed=] Men, and possibly the Legion of Rot.
1849* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Among his [[RedBaron epithets]] are [[ImAHumanitarian "The Cannibal Prince," "The Eater"]] and "The Lord of Rot."
1850* TheUnseen: Nobody knows exactly what Nazmaldun actually is or how he came to inhabit the Eye of Tyr, except maybe Hallowicked.
1851
1852!!!Professor Hugo Nicodemus
1853* EarlyBirdCameo: Long before his appearance at the end of Season 18, his name appeared on [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C-sWqmVXgAAAATt.jpg the card]] that Jeremy Leary gave to The Whisper after Bad Wolf.
1854* EvilIsHammy: As seen in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VzeZYvejuI this promo]]:
1855-->"Reject your mundane mediocrity, and embrace the glorious wonders OF SCIENCE!"
1856* EvilutionaryBiologist: Seeks to improve the human condition via the Volgar, Callux, and Frantix experiments.
1857* MadScientist: Proteus Wheel's Scientist Supreme, [[https://theproteuswheel.com/research/ creator]] of the Volgars, the Calluxes, and Frantik.
1858* OldShame: In-universe, he's admitted to having gone through a "rockabilly phase" when he created the Volgars, leading to the love for the music that has been one of their dominating traits, thus explaining "Juke Joint" Lucas Calhoun, Jeremy Leary, and Brett Michael David.
1859* RightHandCat: One is seen prominently on his lap in [[https://twitter.com/ProteusWheel/status/965804730625568769 this video]].
1860
1861!!!Private Eye Jr.
1862* EarlyBirdCameo: Alluded to by Icarus at the September rally via a sign that read #13Y19T5R9U13P. Originally thought to be a reference to the unsolved Mysterium P. puzzle, this led to Private Eye Jr.'s [[http://instagram.com/privateeyejr Instagram account]] instead. Was also active on the 101 around that same time, under the username [=SilverWingsHeels=]. Made his first official appearance in the Ashes video "Sweat Shop" two months later.
1863* ForgottenFallenFriend: Despite being one of the first to be KilledOffForReal, his demise had seemingly been forgotten about in the wake of the other deaths the Flood had caused, though Kevin Condron would reference him sometime later.
1864* GenerationXerox: Son of the original Private Eye.
1865* KilledOffForReal: Got his neck snapped by 17 just before the Flood invaded National Pro Wrestling Day 2014.
1866
1867!!!The Polar Baron
1868* NonActionBigBad: Of The Bloc Party
1869* PutOnABus: Disappeared very shortly after appearing in CHIKARA proper to return to the Arctic, effectively stranding the rest of the Bloc Party in America as he'd taken their passports with him.
1870
1871!!!Vlad Radinov
1872%%* BigFun
1873* HuskyRusskie: A NonActionGuy version of the trope.
1874* PutOnABus: Announced his departure in early 2018.
1875* RedBaron: "The Party Czar"
1876* ReplacementGoldfish: For Gavin Loudspeaker.
1877
1878!!!Bryce Remsburg
1879* TheAce: In addition to being a popular referee and commentator, he's been known to plancha onto a pack of brawling wrestlers to restore order. He can also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-CAAy8_-lU cut a pretty mean rug]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBv8UoLc3yk does a killer impression of the Undertaker]].
1880* HeroicSacrifice: Threw himself in front of Ashley Remington to save him from being 'shot' by Archibald Peck's finger gun during the Atomico Ridiculoso at Moonraker. Played completely for laughs.
1881* KickedUpstairs: His sudden appointment as the Director of Fun in 2018 looked to be this, until he clarified on Twitter that he would still be senior referee as well.
1882* ThePeterPrinciple: He was entirely incompetent as the Director of Fun, taking a 'see no evil' approach to ongoings in Chikara and regularly expressing a lack of knowledge regarding the rules he was supposed to be upholding.
1883* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As a referee, but not as Director of Fun.
1884
1885!!!That Jerk Sabato (Derek Sabato)
1886%%* TheChewToy
1887* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Disappeared from CHIKARA in early 2013. Hinted to be related to his anti-Wink blogs.
1888** Resurfaced first at ''Aniversario: Never Compromise'' in June 2013. He managed to get to the ring and claimed he had something to say about "the company that owns CHIKARA". Quickly removed from the ring after showing a now-infamous (Photoshopped) picture of the Titor Conglomerate's higher-ups. Met with Mike Quackenbush the day afterward, which was shown in part in the Ashes video series and in full in the Ashes movie.
1889** Returned to CHIKARA as a referee during ''Tomorrow Never Dies'', with Quackenbush on commentary revealing that he had promised to rehire Sabato.
1890* {{Jerkass}}: He seemed to relish going against the grain and ruffling feathers.
1891* JerkassHasAPoint: A lot of his blogs on CHIKARA's website in 2012 have pointed out the hypocrisy in CHIKARA (e.g. Quackenbush's career-ending assaults on GEKIDO) as well as the incompetence of Wink Vavasseur, to the point where some fans actually called for Sabato to replace Wink... [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk only for Sabato to call out the fans on their fickle natures]], stating he doesn't want the job.
1892* PutOnABus: Retired from refereeing after ''Top Banana''.
1893* TheQuisling: Happily volunteered to act as GEKIDO's liason, and before that he worked with The [=BDK=].
1894
1895!!!Milo Schnitzler
1896* FelonyMisdemeanor: Got kicked out of the BDK by Jakob after screwing up the BDK's ring introduction. Possibly a TakeThat since on the CHIKARA return show he messed up on the microphone by confusing Tursas and Nøkken for each other.
1897* TheMole: He was working for the BDK all along while acting as the owner of Wrestling Is Cool. He closed it on receiving the order to do so from Ares.
1898* NonActionGuy: Although he was booked to wrestle at You Only Live Twice, he was replaced by the returning Tursas. He was never booked to wrestle again and actually disappeared from CHIKARA until Jakob Hammermeier took over the BDK, only returning to be the BDK's ring announcer until being PutOnABus.
1899* PutOnABus: By Jakob Hammermeier and the returning Pinkie Sanchez.
1900* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Jakob Hammermeier. They're both white guys in white suits who do ring announcing for the BDK in German.
1901
1902!!!Strixx
1903
1904!!!Wrestling/JoeyStyles
1905
1906!!!Veronica Ticklefeather
1907* ActionGirl: Averted, in a rarity for CHIKARA. She claimed to be one in a few blogs she wrote for the Chikara website, but she never did more than hit people with Archie's baton a few times.
1908* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: She came to CHIKARA with Archie, dumped him for Mr. Touchdown, ended up with Tim Donst, left him, and made one appearance with The Batiri in Absolutely Intense Wrestling before disappearing from wrestling.
1909* DopeSlap: Delivers a nice one to Kodama [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtz2NmHt3U0 here]]. Even though ''she'' was the one who said the stupid thing.
1910* EarlyBirdCameo: Type 2 - seen as early as King of Trios 2009 doing the same jobs as other Wrestle Factory students (taking jackets & ringing bells etc).
1911* HellBentForLeather: After allying with Tim Donst.
1912* NotSoAboveItAll: She may have acted horrified when Mr. Touchdown killed Sapphire, but she got over it pretty quickly.
1913* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She heard ''something'' on the second-to-last Chikara show that caused her to dump Donst and leave the promotion entirely. She left wrestling as a whole not too long afterward.
1914%%* SmallNameBigEgo
1915* StatuesqueStunner: She's 6'1, probably at least 6'3" with heels.
1916
1917!!!Conrad Vavasseur
1918* GreaterScopeVillain: Has had barely any interactions with the Chikara promotion, but he's a very high ranking member of Titor Conglomerate and Wink's father.
1919* [[SpeakOfTheDevil He Who Must Not Be Named]]: For several months, the Chikara 101 forums [[FunWithAutocensors autocensored]] Conrad's name along with some other words relating to Titor Conglomerate and Condor Security. The whole angle made heavy use of PaintingTheMedium and the idea behind it was that the Titor Conglomerate people who owned Chikara were autocensoring the forums to try and keep the fans from talking about stuff that was none of their business. The Titor-related autocensors were finally deactivated in November 2013 (although Chris Hero's wasn't, see his entry above as to why).
1920
1921!!!Wink Vavasseur
1922* TheDogBitesBack: Verbally abused and ordered around for years by his father, due to being a WellDoneSonGuy. Wink got revenge in a big way in October/November of 2013. First, he revealed just what Titor wanted with CHIKARA in the first place, along with the real purpose of [=CHIKARAbermetrics=] and just who was bankrolling GEKIDO and the Colony Xtreme Force. After being threatened, he then went underground and masterminded the hijack of Condor Security's scavenger hunt by CHIKARA forces.
1923* TheNapoleon: He's quite short and his increasingly stupid decisions and demands for respect are implied to be because he's suffering from a bit of this.
1924* NonActionBigBad: By 2013.
1925* PointyHairedBoss: Confirmed on the official forums by a now-former moderator, who said that the reason "Conrad [Vavasseur]'s screwup son" got the job was because Chikara was supposed to be "somewhere no one would notice."
1926* PutOnABus: In the post-credits stinger of the Ashes movie, he was seen wrapped in garbage bags and about to be thrown in the back of a van as his father ordered Condor Security to "make this screwup go away".
1927* ReassignedToAntarctica: For Wink, Chikara ''is'' Antarctica. His father stuck him at a small independent wrestling promotion due to his incompetence elsewhere.
1928* TookALevelInDumbass: Compare the beginning of 2011, when he sanctioned the Grand Championship, to 2012, when he broke up multiple successful tag teams with his Chikarabermetrics nonsense.
1929** Subverted in regards to [=CHIKARAbermetrics=], which has since been revealed to have had a hidden, more sinister purpose, and may not have even been his idea to begin with.
1930* TookALevelInJerkass: Particularly in regards to Eddie Kingston, to the point where Kingston is the only person he refused to apologize to regarding his actions against him. He was originally welcomed as a change from the BDK's Dieter [=VonSteigerwalt=], until he started screwing up everything, leading to fans calling for him to be fired.
1931* WellDoneSonGuy: Only wanted his father's approval. When he realized he would never receive it, [[TheDogBitesBack he turned on him for all the abuse he suffered]].
